Yesass Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I really need help with my Sony MD-R90. The last time I changed battery the LCD started blinking "Ver 1.600". I know this is the number of the softwareversion, and that I`m probely inside some setup meny. But how to get out? If I switch the power off and on again, it`s still the same. Is there some command I can use get out of this meny? Is there some kind of comand that can restart the whole thing? I`m lost, and would really appreciate some help...

MDX-400 Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Sounds like you are in service mode. Dunno how you managed to get into it by simply changing the battery but you are definitely in Service mode somehow. To exit service mode you will need to remove ALL power sources (AC adapter and any batteries installed/connected to the unit) and then wait about a minute or so. Re-insert the battery or AC adapter and it *should* be out of service mode then and operate correctly. If it does not come out of service mode it usually means that the manual laser adjustment mode has been entered but not completed! If this occurs the unit will NOT exit service mode until the laser adjustment procedure has been completed. Problem with this is that you need special equipment to do the laser power adjustment and certain other adjustments may require dissassembly of the unit and the use of an oscillocope. This may also be caused by some other general malfunction--either of which would likely mean your unit needs professional service However, lets not fret right away. Try removing all power from the unit and then re-powering it and seeing what happens--usually everything will be back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesass Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Thanks...but I guess I need proffesional help. Didn`t help to remove the power for a longer period. It`s really strange though, cause` I had the same problem 2 years ago. Then I used a Sony Servicecenter, and they said that it could be that the software version was to old(!) or that I had pressed the combination for service mode. They ugraded the software, but I think the whole thing sounds a bit strange... Well, thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
