1. BIRTH OF DVD
1-1. Background
Everyday, we enjoy entertainment through various media,
such as movies, television, radio, newspapers, and magazines.
A computer, which has been used mainly for business, is
coming closer to becoming a tool in our everyday lives.
We are surrounded by a host of visual images, photographs,
sounds, and characters.
TOSHIBA has sought out the means which enables us to
record as much of this information as possible, in the highest
quality possible. in a form as compact as possible, and is
easy to handle and enjoy.
For this purpose, we have developed many unique
technologies, through discussion with computer profession-
als, as well as the studio staffs in Hollywood, the home of the
film industry in the U.S.A.
As a result, we have developed “DVD”, a digital versatile
disc for the next generation, having the memory capacity of
7 times that of a CD on a single side of the disc.

1-7. Disc Recording Sequence and Direction
There are three recording sequences and directions.
1-7-1. Single-layer disc
1-8. Two Bonded Discs
The DVD disc consists of two 0.6 mm bonded discs, suitable
for reading a data signal recorded in high density. Since the
disc is thinner, the obstacle in the optical pickup and in the
pit on the disc are smaller, enabling accurate reading.

2. FEATURES OF DVD
2-1. DVD is not a Digital Video Disc
"DVD" has been known as digital video disc, as well digital
versatile disc. Actually, DVD sets the standard for the next
generation of high density optical disc. The abbreviation for
digital video disc does not encompass all the capability of
DVD. DVD is employed as the name for the standard it sets.
The memory capacity of the disc is determined by the in-
formation time and data per second (data rate). In a CD, the
quantized bit number is 16 bits, the sampling frequency is
44.1 kHz and the number of channels is two. Therefore, the
data volume of a CD is 16
x
44.1 kHz
x
2 = approximately
1,411 k(bit/sec) = 1.411 M(bit/sec).
The DVD disc has 4.7 GB or 37.6 giga bits (4.7 GB x 8) of
memory capacity in one side. A CD records 74 minutes
maximum. Therefore the DVD disc records 7 hours and 24
minutes (37.6
x
1000 ÷ 1.411 = 26.648 sec.) with the same
quality sound as a CD.

2-2. Very Large Capacity
A DVD disc is the same size as a 12 cm CD, but it can record
4.7 Giga Bytes (GB) on one side, which is equivalent to about
7 CDs. It can record one whole movie of 133 minutes with
theater quality picture and sound. This is the capacity of the
single-side single-layer disc. The single-side double-layer
disc has a capacity of 8.5 GB. The single-layer double-side
disc has a capacity of 9.4 GB. The double-layer double-side
disc has the capacity of 17 GB maximum.
2-3. Enabling Technology
2-3-1. Large Recording Capacity
• Track pitch is reduced to half that of a CD to make the
track length long.
• Pits are made fine (half that of a CD) to increase the
volume of data to be recorded.
• The fine pit requires the laser beam spot (focus) to be
small.
• To make the spot small, the laser beam wavelength is
made short and the number of aperture (NA) of the ob-
jective lens is made large.
With the larger NA, the influence of laser beam aberrations
due to the protective film (the transparent plastic part)
increases and the beam spot (focus) blurs with respect to
the disc inclination or the spot displaces widely from the
pit, decreasing the signal read accuracy and increasing the
noise element.
To minimize the influence of laser beam aberrations, the
disc is made thin (0.6 mm or half the thickness of a CD).
To provide compatibility with a CD, the disc is made by
bonding two 0.6 mm discs. The two-disc structure increases
planarity of the disc, resulting in improved signal read
accuracy, as well better resistance to warpage.

2-3-2. Comparing DVD with CD
Table 3
2-3-3. Small Laser Beam Spot (Focus)
The size of the laser beam spot, ø, is smaller because the
laser wavelength is shorter and the NA is larger, as
determined by the equation below.
Where,
NA (Number of aperture) = 0.6 (DVD)
= 0.35 (CD, DVD)
laser beam wavelength = 650 nano-meter
* CD mode of DVD
NA indicates brightness of the lens. It increases as the focal
distance is decreased, and the diameter is increased, as
determined by the following equation:

2-3-6. Long Play Time
The increased capacity, due to the longer track and finer
pit, still won't allow the recording of a complete movie on
one side (one layer) of a 12 cm DVD without compression.
The digital video data must be compressed to realize a full
133 minutes on a one side-single layer disc.
The technique of compressing video data was developed
by the Moving Picture image coding Experts Group (MPEG)
and is the worldwide standard.
MPEG1 (fixed bit rate system) was standardized first and
was applied to video CD, such as used for KARAOKE and
CD-ROM.
MPEG2 (variable bit rate system) was standardized next
and makes DVD possible. Since video images contain
redundant information from one frame to the next, MPEG2
compresses data by predicting motion that occurs from one
frame of video to the next. Motion vectors and background
information are recorded rather than entire video frames.
2-4. High Picture Quality
2-4-1. High Resolution
The picture quality of DVD is 500 lines of horizontal reso-
lution, a great improvement over current media, such as the
Laser Disc at 430 lines.
With the high resolution and high picture quality, the image
contour is clear and sharp and even a dark scene can be
played with perspective and with minimum noise.
2-4-2. Applicable to a Wide Screen
When DVD is applied to a wide screen TV, it can play fine
and beautiful images free from degradation even when in
zoom (magnifying images vertically/horizontally).

2-5. Digital Sound
2-5-1. Recording a Dynamic Range of 144 dB
Utilizing its large capacity, DVD realizes ultra Hi-Fi digital
audio with a dynamic range of 144 dB, based on a high
sampling rate of 96 kHz and 24 bits resolution.

2-5-2. Sound Effects Like a Movie Theater
Dolby AC 3 digital sound is adopted. AC 3 consists of 5.1
channels; Front left, center, and right, Rear left and right,
and a sub woofer (Low frequency effects). An AC 3 decoder
and 5.1 channel amplifier and speaker system allow for
playback of the full digital sound.
The DVD delivers a super digital sound, exceeding that of a
CD.

2-6. Advanced Functions of DVD
Many advanced functions can be recorded on a DVD and
are determined by the individual software makers. Each
DVD disc may have different functions. Only the recorded
functions on a particular disc can be played back.
2-6-1. Multilanguage
(1) Selection of voice
A maximum of eight audio streams is available for a
DVD video. These are digital signal paths, not "chan-
nels." Up to eight languages, including the original lan-
guage, can be recorded. It is also possible to record all
of the Dolby AC-3 5.1 channels in the eight streams.
For example, a 5.1 channel in English in the first stream,
French in the 2nd stream, and non-compressed linear
PCM in the 3rd stream.
As the amount of sound data increases, the recording
time decreases accordingly. To increase the recording
time, producers may reduce the number of streams or
select Dolby AC-3 2 channel instead of non-compressed
linear PCM.
(2) Selection of subtitles
Utilizing 32 channels of sub image, up to 32 subtitle
languages can be superimposed. Japanese, English or
French can be independently recorded into each chan-
nel.
– 10 –
2-6-2. Special Modes
(1) Multi-angle function
Using two or more cameras, the images of concerts,
sporting events, dramas, or other events can be recorded
at a maximum of nine angles. With a DVD disc recorded
in this way, a viewer can select a desired angle.
(2) Parental lock function
Utilizing the multistory function, parents can lock out
the violence, sex or other scenes, they don’t want their
children to view. Parents can:
1) Cut these scenes.
2) Replace these scenes by the other scenes, if pre-
pared previously.
3) Disable playing the disc itself.
• The lock function can be set at the lock level.
• Nine lock levels are available and are used based on
the regulations in each country.
• If scenes, which are not wanted to be viewed by chil-
dren, are recorded on a DVD disc, a certain lock level
is set in the disc.
• Once a lock level has been set or selected in the DVD
video player, the system will not play a disc or scenes
from a higher lock level setting.
(3) Multistory function
If two or more branch stories have been recorded for a
main story, it is possible to select a branch story, call the
menu screen at each branch, and select a desired branch
and change the main story.
A. Main and sub story function
This function enables the viewer to play a main story
with another hero or heroine by selecting a sub story.
B. Multi-version function
This function enables the viewer to play two or more
versions, such as a theater version, complete version,
and director’s cut version.
C. Highlight scene scan function
This function enables the viewer to play scenes of fa-
vorite stars or music.
Main story and sub story
– 11 –
D. Branching story function
(simple interactive function)
This function enables the viewer to develop a story
interactively, similar to a so-called roll playing game.
For example, it is possible to change the development
of a story by selecting the actions of characters from
a menu.
Branching story
(4) Playing the multistory
The multistory functions are possible only for discs re-
corded with this feature. Since the contents of a DVD
disc are determined by the disc producer, a variety of
different discs may be marketed. Because a specific ex-
planation of the operation of the multistory features is
not possible, the owner's manual only instructs the user
to "Follow the procedure displayed on the screen or DVD
package."
(5) Multi-aspect function
This function makes a DVD disc compatible with any
type of TV. Since the “squeeze method” is employed to
record wide screen images, compressed to a 4:3 ratio,
the width is simply returned in the full mode when the
disc is played on a wide screen TV. With 4:3 large screen
or direct view TVs , high picture quality is ensured by
selecting the letter box to reduce the height, or the pan
& scan to cut the side portions to fit the 4:3 ratio.
In many cases, current wide screen images are broad-
cast or recorded with the black bars at top and bottom
for the 4:3 screen. Thus, when viewed or played back
on a wide screen TV, the black bars are expelled by
zooming the screen to realize the wide screen image. In
this case, scanning lines are expelled out of the screen
and are reduced from 425 to 360, causing degradation
in picture quality. On DVD, the “squeeze recording
method” solves this problem and allows playback on a
wide screen TV with the normal number of scanning
lines.
• The recording methods and whether the letter box/
pan & scan can be used, depends on the DVD disc
manufacturer. They are not always available on all
DVD discs.

3-1. Compatible Disc
3-1-1. Types of Discs Playable with the DVD Video Player
The DVD video player is a play only device. It can play
DVD video discs and music CDs as shown below.
Table 4
3-1-2. Recognition (Area Code) of DVD Video Disc
The area code is globally set for Japan, USA/Canada, Asia,
Europe, and other areas and countries. This area code is
recognized in some DVD discs. This is the result of the
strategies of the software makers. Essentially, the DVD discs
of newly released movies and music CDs are not playable
other than in those areas that are authorized.
Therefore, if you play a DVD video disc purchased in a
foreign country using a DVD player sold in the U.S.A., or if
you play a business-use disc, the message, “The area code
is wrong and the disc cannot be played” may appear on the
screen.
3-1-3. Copy Prevention
It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast
on cable, play in public, and rent copyrighted material
without permission.
DVD video discs are copy protected, and any recordings
made from these discs will be distorted.
3-1-4. Wide World of DVD
Since video, sound, and data file formats are unified for
DVD, it eliminates the borders between television, audio,
and computer applications.
Note:
• Other discs cannot be played.
• This player conforms to the NTSC TV system, and is
not compatible with discs made for the other TV sys-
tems (PAL, SECAM).

CD is divided into “tracks”.
Example: DVD video disc
Example: Music CD
The titles, chapters, and tracks are numbered. These numbers
are not recorded on some discs.
Title:
DVD video disc contents are divided into several parts. This
is equivalent to a “story” or a collection of short stories.
Chapter:
The title contents are further divided into scenes or tunes.
This is equivalent to a “chapter” of a book.
Track:
Music CDs are divided into songs.

3-3. Video Compression
Though the recording capacity of a DVD disc is 7 times
greater than a CD, only about 4 minutes of an NTSC TV
image can be recorded as a full digital file.
Investigations into data compression techniques began in
the 1960’s, yielding such standards as JPEG, MPEG1, and
MPEG2.
MPEG1 was adopted for video CD (music CDs used to ac-
company live singing). MPEG1 compresses data to 1/100,
enabling it to record a maximum of 74 minutes of video,
but, the picture quality is inferior to that of a Laser Disc.
MPEG2 compresses data to about 1/40, and, along with other
techniques achieves a picture quality higher than LD.
* MPEG is the Moving Picture Experts Group, the com-
pression technique working group, part of the ISO/IEC joint
technical committee. ISO is the International Standardization
Organization and IEC is the International Electric Standard
Conference.
Comparing the video of MPEG2 with MREG1
3-3-1. Concept of MPEG2
The MPEG2 compression technique consists of about 20
items, including a variable data transfer rate from 10 Mbps
for a complex or quick moving picture to 1 Mbps for a simple
or nearly still picture. The average data transfer rate is 3.5
Mbps.

Generally, the system is based on the principal that moving
images contain redundant information from one frame of
video to the next; the background stays the same for many
frames at a time. Compression is accomplished by predicting
motion that occurs from one frame to the next. Motion
vectors and background information is recorded, rather than
entire video frames.
MPEG2 decoding reconstructs the video frames.

3-4. Detection of Tracking and Focus Errors
3-4-1. Detecting a Tracking Error in CD Mode
(3-Beam Mode)
The auxiliary beams (E and F) are made by the diffraction
grating of the laser PU and are displaced from the main
beam as shown below. The auxiliary beams are displaced
ahead of and behind the main beam to prevent crosstalk
between tracks or signal interference between auxiliary
beams. Condition 2 below is the correct condition; the
main beam is located at the middle of the track and the
auxiliary beams A and B ride a little over the track by the
same amount on either side, so the outputs of E and F
become equivalant and the output of the error circuit
becomes zero. If the auxiliary beams are offset to either
side, as shown in 1 or 3, the outputs of E and F are no
longer equal and the error signal becomes positive for
condition 1 and negative for condition 3.

(Verified DPD)
<Verified Differential Phase Detect>
The phase difference system improves stability against
damaged discs. The phases of the one-beam PD (Photo
Detector) outputs A + C and B + D are compared in the DP
(Phase Detector), and a tracking error signal is generated.
When the beam is correctly located, as shown in drawing 2
below, the phases of A + C and B + D are the same, and the
tracking error output is zero. However, if the beam is offset,
as shown in drawing1 or 3, a phase difference occurs and a +
or - DC voltage is produced as an error signal.

An error signal is detected by changes in the beam shape.
This beam is formed by the sensor lens of the laser PU, and
as the distance between the objective lens and the disc surface
varies, the beam shape changes. The shape of the beam from
the sensor lens, applied to the PD, is circular if the beam
focus is adjusted to the surface of the disc. If it is out of
focus, it spreads in the direction of A + C or B + D of the PD,
like an ellipse, as shown below. The corresponding ±DC
voltage is the focus error signal.

3-5. Reading a 2-layer Disc
Some DVD video discs have two layers of reflective film
on one side. The upper layer is a standard reflective film
(2nd layer), and the lower layer is a semi-transparent
reflective film (1st layer).
With a single-layer reflective film, signals are read in the
same manner as with audio CDs. With double-layer discs, a
laser beam must pass through the lower reflective film to
read the the upper reflective film.
The lower film is made semi-transparent (reflection rate of
30%) and the beam focus is adjusted to the upper film.

Data pickup for an audio CD is performed at a constant rate
along the track of a disc, because the data is recorded at a
fixed bit rate in the track. In DVD, data is recorded at a
variable bit rate and the amount of data is not constant in
each track. Thus, the readout information (by frames) from
the laser PU is stored in memory prior to playing on the screen
at the correct frame rate. Since the memory capacity is
limited, it soon overflows. When the amount of data in the
memory reaches a certain level, the objective lens is returned
by one track, and held in the pause mode until the memory
volume decreases. This keeps the memory controlled at about
90% of capacity.

3-8-1. Two Lenses
“DVD can play an audio CD” is one of the conditions of the
DVD format. The methods of reading DVD and CD signals
is the same, but the pit size and disc thicknesses are different.
The same lens can not read both.
To solve this problem, the DVD/CD 2 lens switching system
or the two-focus system (which uses a holographic lens at
the center of the main lens, so that the CD signal is read at
the middle of the lens and the DVD signal is read with the
whole lens) is used. The SD-3006 uses the two-lens system.
The large lens is selected when playing a DVD disc, and the
small lens is selected to play a CD.

3-7-3. Cleaning the laser PU objective
The objective lens becomes dirty over time and should be
cleaned periodically. As the lens surface gets dirtier, the
intensity of the laser beam decreases, causing playback
failures.
• If the RF level is not restored to the correct level after
cleaning the objective lens, the collimator lens probably
needs cleaning.
(1) Cleaning the Objective Lens
1 Moisten a cotton swab with pure alcohol (not rubbing
alcohol) and wipe the lens outward 3 to 4 times, just
like drawing a circle.
2 Repeat at least two more times, using a clean cotton
swab each time.
(2) Laser PU Performance
If proper performance is not regained after cleaning the
objective lens and internal optics, the laser diode may
be near the end of its useful life.
The lifetime of the laser diode depends on environ-
mental conditions, such as temperature and humidity,
but is usually about 5,000 to 10,000 hours.

4-2. RF Amp and Tracking.
Refer to Diagram 4-2. RF Amp and Tracking.
IC502 develops the laser drive signal and sends it to the laser
pickup via pin 7 of CN501. Once the disc starts spinning,
the laser pickup sends two differential RF signals to the
equalization circuits in IC502 via pins 16 and 17 of CN501.
If a DVD disc is playing, the RF eye pattern signal is output
on pin 34 and can be monitored at test point 502.
If a CD audio disc is playing, a lower frequency eye pattern
signal is output on pin 39 and can be monitored at test point
501.
The laser pickup develops tracking error and focus error
signals and sends them to IC501 and IC502, via pins 10
through 15 of CN501. There are two types of tracking error
signals developed. The DVD player functions as a single
beam system for DVD discs, and a three beam system for
CD audio discs. Error signals A, B, C, and D are applied to
the offset comparator in IC501 to develop the DVD tracking
error signal. The DVD tracking error signal is phase detected,
output on pin 14, and applied to a switch in IC502, via pin 8.
Error signals E and F are generated by a CD audio disc and
applied to the CD tracking error comparator in IC502. The
resulting CD tracking error signal is also applied to the switch.
The switch selects the proper tracking error signal, TE, and
outputs it on pin 21. TE can be monitored at test point 507.
Signals A, B, C, and D are applied to the focus detector circuit
in IC502 to develop the focus error signal, FE. FE is output
on pin 27, and can be monitored at test point 505.

4-3. Servo.
Refer to Diagram 4-3. Servo.
The servo block is responsible for driving and controlling
the disc motor, the feed motor, and the focus and tracking
coils. When a disc is inserted in the player, several events
occur before the RF signals or tracking signals are developed.
First, the feed motor pulls the laser slide assembly toward
the disc motor and stops when the disc is in the correct
position. Then, the focus coil pushes the objective lens up
and down in an attempt to achieve focus. During this startup
process, the focus and tracking error signals are developed
and applied to the servo control circuit in IC503, via pins 43
and 46. The servo control circuit processes the focus and
tracking error signals, and develops the focus and tracking
drive signals, output on pins 48 and 49. The focus and
tracking coils must be rotated 90 degrees to change the
objective lens for an audio CD. The focus and tracking drive
signals are switched for the proper orientation in IC506. The
drive signals are amplified in IC505 and applied to the focus
and tracking coils, via pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 of CN501.
Feed motor drive information from the system control, IC601,
is sent to the servo control in IC503 via an I/O bus. The
servo control develops the feed motor drive signal and outputs
it on pin 53. This signal is amplified in IC505 and sent to the
feed motor, via pins 1 and 2 of CN502. Two hall switches
monitor the rotation of the feed motor and send signals to
IC509, via pins 5 through 8 of CN502. This information is
processed in IC509, and sent back to the system control IC,
which monitors the speed and position of the feed motor.
IC503 also processes the CD RF signal on pin 38. The signal
is demodulated, error corrected, and sent to IC904, via pin 9.
This signal is also monitored by the servo control to develop
the CD CLV error signal, output on pin 55.
The CD CLV signal is applied to the disc motor drive, IC510,
pin 21. The disc motor drive keeps the disc motor running at
the proper speed. IC510 sends three drive signals to the disc
motor via pins 17, 18, and 19 of CN502 . A series of hall
switches in the disc motor sends feedback signals to IC510,
via pina 9 through 16 of CN502.

4-4. Demodulation, Error Correction, and
Decryption.
Refer to Diagram 4-4. Demodulation, Error Correction, and
Decryption.
The DVD RF signal from IC503 is applied to the data slicer
in Data Processor 1, IC207, via pin 50. The data is processed
and applied to the phase locked loop (PLL), so the incoming
data can be locked to the timing of the processor. Since the
bit rate of the DVD data can vary, the data is stored in the 4
meg DRAM, IC202, then sent to the 8/16 demodulator as
needed.
Once the signal is demodulated, it is error corrected and sent
to Data Processor 2, IC207. Data Processor 2 detects the
region code in the DVD signal, and if it matches the region
code of the player, the signal is processed, and the MPEG2
Data is sent to IC304, the MPEG2 Decoder. However, if the
region code is incompatible, the disc will not play, and the
region code error message is displayed on the screen instead.
The DVD signal from the PLL circuit is also applied to the
CLV drive circuit, to produce the DVD CLV error signal.
This error signal is sent to pin 21 of IC510 to keep the disc
motor running at the proper speed.

Refer to Diagram 4-8. Audio Processing.
Parallel audio data from IC301 is applied to the buffer in the
parallel to serial converter, IC902. The 4 meg DRAM, IC903,
stores the data as it is converted into serial data. The serial
audio data is then output on pin 44 to the AC3 decoder, IC901.
The audio data is then applied to the data I/O in the audio
system processor, IC904. The Data I/O selects either DVD
audio, or CD audio, depending on the type of disc being
played.
If the audio selector switch on the back of the player is in the
ANALOG/PCM position, analog audio data are output on
pin 11, and PCM audio data are encoded and output on pin
17. Analog audio data is converted to right and left analog
signals by the audio DAC, IC905, and output on pins 17 and
18. However, if the audio selector switch is in the AC3/
ANALOG OFF position, no analog data is output on pin 11,
but AC3 audio data is encoded and output on pin 17.

5. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS
5-1. Overview
Refer to diagram 5-1. Overview.
Toshiba DVD players consist of four main functional blocks;
the power supply, the laser mechanical assembly, the main
board, and the front panel display. The laser mechanical
assembly is a collection of individual parts and PC boards.
The other functional blocks are housed on individual PC
boards. A color difference board is added to the SD3006
player to output the component video signal.
As long as the DVD player is plugged in, the power supply
is active, but only in standby mode. Only the DC supplies
necessary to activate the microprocessors and the front display
panel are activate. When the power button is pushed, either
on the front panel, or the remote, a power on signal is sent to
the power supply to activate the remaining DC supplies.
On power up, the main board drives the laser mechanical
assembly to check if there is a disc in the tray. If there is a
disc in the tray, the main board monitors the servo feedback
signals and the RF signal to determine if the disc is a DVD or
a CD. The disc's table of contents is read and the player
either goes into the stop mode, or, with some DVD discs,
into the play mode. While a disc is playing, the main board
constantly monitors the servo feedback signals and adjusts
the drive signals for changing conditions.
The main board processes the DVD RF signal and extracts
the MPEG2 video and whatever type of audio was recorded
on the disc. MPEG2 digital video is converted to analog
video and output as S-Video or composite video. In the
SD3006 player, the MPEG2 video can be converted to
component video R-Y, B-Y, and Y, and output through the
color difference board as Cr, Cb, and Y. The audio recorded
on the disc is processed on the main board, then output as
analog left and right audio, digital PCM audio, or digital AC-
3 audio.

5-2. Power Supply
Refer to Diagram 5-2. Power Supply.
The power supply in the Toshiba DVD player is a self
oscillating, free running, switched mode supply with optical
feedback for regulation. Except for the Control IC, Q821,
it’s operation is typical of most free running switched mode
power supplies. To prevent damage to the player or test
equipment, always use an isolation transformer when
servicing the player.
One hundred and twenty volts AC is applied to the bridge,
where it is rectified and then filtered to approximately 160
Vdc by filter capacitor, C805. The 160Vdc is applied to pin
3 (the collector) of switch, Q803, through the primary
winding, P1 of transformer T802. At the same time, a small
start up voltage derived from the 160Vdc is applied to pin 2
(the base) of Q803 through resistors R804 and R805. This
positive voltage on the base of the transistor turns it on,
allowing current flow through the primary winding P1 of
T802. A magnetic field starts building around all of the
windings in T802; however, no secondary voltages are
developed at this time due to the polarity of the secondary
windings and the rectifier diodes. The building magnetic
field developed by P1 induces current flow in P2 that is
positive at pin 2 of T802. Also, since there is current flowing
in P2, P2 develops it’s own small magnetic field with the
same polarity as the field developed by P1. The positive
voltage developed by P2 is applied to the base the Q803 to
saturate it. Eventually, collector current reaches maximum
and the magnetic field around P1 stabilizes. Current no longer
flows in P2, so the positive voltage applied to the base of the
transistor disappears. The small magnetic field around P2
collapses, making pin 2 of T802 negative with respect to pin
1, and the transistor turns off. Current flowing through P1
ceases and the magnetic field collapses. As this field collapses
it induces current flow in P2 that is negative at pin 2 with
respect to pin 1, and P2 builds its own small magnetic field.
Once P1's field has completely collapsed, the small magnetic
field around P2 collapses, making pin 2 positive with respect
to pin 1. This positive voltage is applied to the base of the
transistor, turning it on. Now that the oscillator has started,
it can continue oscillating even if the start up voltage is
removed.
Power is transferred to the secondary windings when the
magnetic field around P1 collapses, and after a few cycles,
the supplies are up to their full voltage. Until the power is
turned on, the only supplies that are active at connector
CN801 are the Ever +5Vdc, the -24Vdc, the F+ (-16Vdc),
and the F- (-21Vdc). The Ever +5Vdc is used to power the
microcomputers, while the -24Vdc, F+, and F- are used for
the fluorescent display.
The control IC, Q821, monitors the +9.3Vdc supply
developed at pin 7 of T802 and sends an error signal from
error amp 1 to the optical feedback IC, Q802. This error
signal is optically coupled to the base of the switch transistor
to regulate the frequency of the oscillator. Since the frequency
of the oscillator determines the amount of power coupled to
the secondaries, the supply can regulate itself. Without the
feedback, the supply cannot regulate itself, usually causing
failure of the switch in the primary, as well as various other
components. Often, these types of supplies have cascade
failures that can only be isolated while the supply is operating.
Always bring the line voltage up slowly with a variac, to
prevent damaging any repairs already made.
During normal operation, the supply operates at a frequency
of approximately 130Khz with power off and 55Khz with
power on. However, these frequencies will vary, depending
on the line voltage. This supply maintains regulation down
to a line voltage of about 25 VAC with power off, and about
50 VAC with power on.
When the player is turned on, the microcomputer on the main
board applies +5Vdc to the power supply via pin 3 of CN801.
The +5Vdc is inverted to a low by Q827 and is applied to the
on/off block in Q821, the regulator Q824, and the switch
Q825. Inside the control IC, the on/off block turns on
regulator 2, applying the analog +5Vdc supply to pin 4 of
CN801. The on/off block also turns on error amp 2, allowing
regulator Q822 to supply 3.3Vdc to pin 8 of CN801.
Regulator Q824 is allowed to supply the +9Vdc via pin 5 of
CN801, and the +8Vdc at pin 6 through D835. Switch Q825
allows the control IC to control regulator Q823, in turn
supplying the digital +5Vdc at pin 7 of CN801.
– 28 –
There are three simple protection circuits that can shutdown
the power supply.
T he first of these consists of diodes D831, D832, and D833.
If either the +9Vdc, +8Vdc, or digital +5Vdc supplies is
shorted to ground, a low is applied to the base of Q827,
turning the supply off just like an off signal from the
microcomputer.
The second protection circuit is an over voltage shutdown
that monitors the +9.3Vdc supply derived from pin 7 of T802.
If this supply exceeds 11 volts, D828 conducts and turns on
Q828, which in turn shuts the supply down by applying a
low to the base of Q827.
The third shutdown circuit monitors the temperature of the
control IC, Q821. If the temperature of the control IC rises
above the operating threshold of the circuit (approximately
130 degrees, celsius) all of the positive supplies are turned
off.
This supply runs unloaded at full line voltage, so it’s easy to
check for loading on any of the sources. Also, a jumper can
be inserted between pins 2 and 3 of CN801 to activate all of
the sources during troubleshooting.

Refer to Diagram 5-3. Front Panel Display.
There are two main functions of the front panel in a Toshiba
DVD player. The first of these functions is to display the
status of the player, and the second is to interpret and
communicate user commands from either the front panel
buttons or the remote control to the main board. Three
components, the Fluorescent Display, the Remote Sensor,
and the Display Microcomputer comprise the majority of
the front panel. A flex cable connects the front panel to the
main board via CN101, and supplies all power and
communications.
Power for the fluorescent display is the -21Vdc (F-) input on
pin 1, and the -16Vdc (F+) input on pin 2. The display
microcomputer requires two supplies, the Ever +5Vdc via
pin 9, and the -24Vdc (Vkk) via pin 3.
Communication signals are the FSTBX on pin 4, the DSPCK
on pin 5, the DSPSO on pin 6, and the DSPSI on pin 7. The
DSPRST signal on pin 10 is a +5Vdc reset high signal, which
resets the display microcomputer when power is applied to
the player. The FSTBX signal is an enable signal which
allows communications between the two boards during low
transitions. Use the FSTBX signal as a trigger and reference
all other signals to it when viewing the communication signals
with a scope.
The DSPCK signal is the serial clock, which consist of eleven
low clock pulses during one low period of the FSTBX signal.
Serial data from the main board to the front panel is
transferred on the DSPSO signal, and serial data from the
front panel to the main board is transferred on the DSPSI
signal. All of these signal are applied to the serial transfer
block in the display microcomputer.
User commands are sent to the serial transfer block in the
display microcomputer either by the remote control sensor,
via pin 22, or by the buttons on the front panel via pins 9 and
10. The key process block in the microcomputer monitors
the voltage levels on the KEYIN 1 and KEYIN 2 inputs to
determine when a button is pressed. For example, when the
power button is pressed the voltage on the KEYIN 1 input
drops from 5Vdc to +2.5Vdc, signaling the microcomputer
to turn on the player. Similar voltage level changes occur
on each line for all of the buttons on the front panel.
Refer to the diagram 5-4. Grid and Cathode chart.
The fluorescent display is driven by the combination of the
signals on the grids, G1 through G7, and the anodes, P1
through P16. An element is illuminated when both the anode
signal and the grid signal are high. This chart is also on page
3-14 of the service manual.
Timing for the microcomputer is supplied by the 8Mhz
crystal, X101.
