Fault diagnostics 
 
Fault Action 
No power  Check mains fuse 
Check power supply rails 
No Audio output  Check for digital output, if ok then 
check power supply voltages 
Check DAC chip 
Intermittent noise on output  Check Dac chip 
Fails to respond to commands  Check supply to remote circuit 
Check remote flex foil cable 
Check for +4.9volts on RX201 o/p 
Fails to read disc  Check mech supply 
Check clock signal 
Laser optic moves to end stop 
position 
Caused by failure of clock signal to 
the mech 
Check mech supply 
Check clock signal 
No Display  Check filament voltage 3.1vac 
Check flex foil cable 
Check for dry joints on micro and 
display 
Spurious display readout  Check for dry joints on display board

Hints & tips 
 
! 
When upgrading from CD72 to CD92 remember to fit the steel plate to the transformer, this 
reduces noise. 
! 
The CDM14 mech ( part no. B2009 ) is interchangeable between the Alpha7 series and the 
DiVA CD72/92 non text version.  
! 
Please note that the CD72/92 TEXT units use a different mech ( part no. B2012 ), the display 
and main boards are also different and therefore are not interchangeable parts. 
! 
Voltage conversion 230/115VAC by changing the internal fuse position and fitting the correct 
rated fuse. 100VAC requires a different transformer.
