TB7100 Service Manual CODEC and Audio Fault Finding 351

Task 6 —
Check 
ITF VOL WIP DC
Input Signal
If the output of the voice-band CODEC is correct, but the signal level does 
not
 vary as the volume control is varied, check the ITF VOL WIP DC signal.
1. Check the voltage on the 
VOL WIP DC line at the junction of R708 and 
C706 (see Figure 15.3). As the volume varies, the voltage should 
vary as follows.
2. If the voltage varies as expected, go to Step 5. If it does not, go to 
Step 3.
3. Check the control-head connector SK100. Repair or replace the 
connector if necessary.
4. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 123. If the repair failed or the fault could not be found, replace 
the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on page 123.
5. Remove the 
CDC TOP can.
6. Check the voltage at the junction of R234 and R235 
(see Figure 15.3). As the volume varies, the voltage should vary as 
follows.
7. If the voltage varies as expected, CODEC 1 (IC204) is suspect; 
replace the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 123. If it does not, go to Step 8.
8. Check for continuity across R234, and check that R235 is properly 
soldered (see Figure 15.3). Repair any fault.
9. Confirm the removal of the fault and go to “Final Tasks” on 
page 123. If the repair failed or the fault could not be found, replace 
the main-board assembly and go to “Final Tasks” on page 123.
junction of R708 and C706: 0.0 to 1.2V as volume varies
junction of R234 and R235: 0.0 to 0.6V as volume varies
