5. Diagnostic Software
Due to the complexity of the DVD recorder, the time to find a
defect in the recorder can become long. To reduce this time,
the recorder has been equipped with Diagnostic and Service
software (DS). The DS offers functionality to diagnose the
DVDR hardware and tests the following:
• Interconnections between components
• Accessibility of components
• Functionality of the audio and video paths
This functionality can be accessed via several interfaces:
1. End user/Dealer script interface
2. Player script interface
3. Menu and command interface
5.1 End User/Dealer Script Interface
5.1.1 Description
The End user/Dealer script interface gives a diagnosis on a
stand alone DVD recorder; no other equipment is needed.
During this mode, a number of hardware tests (nuclei) are
automatically executed to check if the recorder is faulty. The
diagnosis is simply a "fail" or "pass" message. If the message
"FAIL" appears on the display, there is apparently a failure in
the recorder. If the message "PASS" appears, the nuclei in this
mode have been executed successfully. There can be still a
failure in the recorder because the nuclei in this mode don't
cover the complete functionality of the recorder.

Figure 5-1
The End use/Dealer script executes all diagnostic nuclei that
do not need any user interaction and are meaningful on a
standalone DVD recorder. The nuclei called in the End user/
Dealer script are the following:
Hold key <PLAY> pressed
while you plug the recorder
Unplug the power cord
During the test, the following display
is shown: the counter counts down
from the number of nuclei to be run
before the test finishes. Example:
SET O.K.?
YES
NO
To exit DEALER SCRIPT, unplug the power cord
