Dj Daan Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 I have a MZ-R30 minidisc player. The text on display is very bright. Is there any function to adjust the brightness on display? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 This sounds like one for Kevin. The service manual is here. Be careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Sorry I couldn't find anything in the Service Manual or the User Manual. When you say "too bright" - it looks like it's a reflective LCD. In the schematics I didn't see any backlight. So I'm not sure what you mean. Is the contrast bad so you can't read the characters? I couldn't find anything on a contrast control either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Check voltage rail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no separate contrast voltage input (or backlight), so if there is contrast control it would be in software (there is an I2C-type serial bus to the LCD module), but I couldn't find anything in the User Manual that offered a menu option for Contrast.

Dj Daan Posted March 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sorry - Google translate.☺️ The display is something like an old digital watch(no backlight). When the watch was low on battery, the numbers(text) were not black, but lighter (gray). This means that the power to the display was lower. The numbers were then legible when viewed at an angle (tilt). However, the minidisk has "constant" battery voltage and nothing changes when I connect the charger. So I don't think there is a problem with the display, but its power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
