     CURE            : A transistor (Q7) and a resistor 1kΩ (R17) were added since week
                       9636 to protect the audio IC from wrong polarity of external DC
                       supply.
                       The grounding end of R17 is wrongly connected to the ground before
                       the power switch, so that a current of 2.5mA is drawn in the power
                       “OFF” condition.
                       To solve the problem, remove R17 and connect a 1kΩ resistor from
                       the base of Q7 to the negative (-) of C43.

1. Introduction
Set CDR870
With the introduction of the Philips CDR870 CD-Recorder it is possible to make your
audio CD at home. Of course the set can also playback pre-recorded audio CD’s like the
well-known audio CD-player. Recordings can be made from, as well as analogue, as
digital audio sources.
Applications:
• Compose your own digital audio recordings and compilations at home.
• Create your compilations to enjoy your favourite music in car, cd-soundmachine and
  other portable CD-players.
All CD systems, like CD-Audio, CD-ROM, CD-i, CD-ROM XA, Photo CD, Video CD are
pre-recorded systems, and lack the facility of recording as enjoyed by tape systems. CD-
Recordable systems address this deficiency.
CD-Recordable
CD-Recordable, a so called Write Once principle, has the advantage of full compatibility
with all pre-recorded CD Systems.
The key to CD-Recordable is an organic dye coating (the photo absorption layer) applied
over a substrate containing a wobbled tracking groove. The wobble frequency of the
groove is FM modulated with timecode information. The average wobble frequency is
used to control the turntable motor speed, while the timecode information is used to
position recordings on the disc. This groove, often called: “pre-groove”, guides the laser
beam during recording.
                Philips Sound&Vision Service Department New Business LoB Disc Systems   August 1997 Newsletter CDR97.01   2/10
The organic dye coating, on its turn, is covered with a reflective layer. The coating is
initially transparent, and for recording it is heated by a laser beam. When the intensity of
the laser spot passes a certain threshold, a bump appears in the layer. This is an
irreversible process that drastically alters the optical characteristics. Using this technique,
a pit (or rather, bump) pattern is written in the tracking groove by a relatively high-power
laser in a dedicated recorder. The laser power required for recording is typically an order
higher than the 0.5mW laser power used for reading.

CD-ReWritable
With only a minor modification in electronics, which CD-Audio players will implement, all
future Philips CD-Audio players will be able to read CD-ReWritable discs.

How CD-ReWritable recordings are made and erased
Readout
Phase change tracks are read in the same way as regular CD tracks. The readout
mechanism does no more than detect the transitions between low and high reflectivity,
and measure the length of the periods between those transitions. Although the
reflectance is lower than the for regular CD’s, the relative proportions of light reflected
from the amorphous and polycrystalline phases remains the same.
CD’s reflectance specifications are defined at 70% minimum for lands, 28% maximum for
pits. But with these specifications , the development of a recording material is a practically
impossible task; if 70% of the light is reflected, only 30% at most remains to change the
phase. Nowadays, these levels are not necessary: the photodiodes of today are able to
detect much lower reflectance differences. All that is needed is the correct reflectance
ratio and adequate amplification. That’s why the CD-format specifications have been
adapted accordingly.
The new CD-Recordable/ReWritable drives will write and re-write the CD-ReWritable
discs - as well as writing CD-Recordable discs. And future CD-drives, fitted with automatic
gain control, will be able to read them.
The recording material for CD-ReWritable consists of a layer of silver, indium, antimony
and tellurium. The polycrystalline phase reflects about 20% of the light, the amorphous
phase only 8%. That meets the requirement for a minimum modulation of 60%, and
allows for writing by a laser of 10-15mW.
CD-ReWritable thus conforms the original CD specification except in one small respect.
The discs have equal dimensions and store the same quantity of data. The drives
embody a small modification, but in other respects are identical.

3. The Discs
CD-DA:
• Playback of the audio CD’s. This disc is called Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA).
CD-DA Recordable:
• Recording and playback of CD Digital Audio Recordable.
• This disc operates according to the Write Once principle. As long as disc is not finalised
  music tracks can be added. (Depending to the max playtime of approx. 74 min; 99
  tracks can be inserted)
• Can be played on all CD-players after finalising the Recordable disc.
CD-ReWritable:
• Recording, Playback and Erasing on ReWritable Compact Discs
• After recording it is possible to erase the last track to correct recording mistakes
• After recording it is possible to erase the complete disc for re-use
• Can be played on CD-players prepared for ReWritable Discs after finalising
  (current CD-players are not prepared)

6. Servicing
For servicing CDR870 this set can be divided into two parts.
1. The Power supply board, Display board and the Input/Output interface board has to be
   repaired on component level. Detailed information will be available via Service Manual
   CDR870; 4822 725 25241.
2. The loader module with CD mechanism, CDM-board and the Main board will be
   exchanged completely. For easy diagnostics this set is equipped with a selfdiagnose
   program. To have repair costs lowered a repair procedure will be started and defective
   loader modules have to be returned. Details will be given as soon as service
   codenumber has been defined.
By means of the Service Test Program the playability of the set can be checked. See flow
chart on next page, ELECTRICAL SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS.
First of all do not forget to insert test disc SBC444A into the recorder, otherwise a fault
indication at disc test will be reported.
Then via actuating the PLAY NEXT and POWER ON keys simultaneously the Electrical
Service Diagnostics mode is started.
In case of an DERR or BERR fault indication the CDMLoader module has to be
exchanged.
We take it for granted that problems with power supply and display are solved before the
electrical service diagnostics has been started.

     CURE            : This phenomenon only appears when the mains cable is connected
                       to the set, i.e. when moving the set to another place.
                       The message automatically disappears after a few seconds, when the
                       set switches into the standby-mode.
REMARKS :
     CAUSE           : During production some JST connectors were changed from XH type
                       to EH type with smaller head. This new EH type is more fragile and
                       susceptable to deformation during plugging in and out of the
                       connector socket. When it is deformed it will result in poor or
                       intermittent contact.
REMARKS            : This information is valid for sets produced from week 9646 onwards.
                     Improved material connectors are introduced in all sets by week
                     9712. New design plan to be introduced from May 1997 onwards.
     CURE          : The output drop is due to an obsolete NTC & clipping circuit.
                     The problem can be fixed by deleting resistor 3472.
     REMARKS       : This problem may occur in sets with production code RZ..., produced
                     before week 9704.
REMARKS :
     CURE          : The problem is caused by the POP button activating point, which
                     does not land correctly onto tact switch 1413.
                     This can be solved by:
                     • Remounting the switch 1413 or
                     • Shortening the stopper pins around the switch area by 0.5mm
REMARKS :
SYMPTOM : The drawer gear wheel 202 and CAM wheel 204 are out of position.
     CURE           : The fault is due to an obsolete CAM gear wheel which is white in
                      colour. Replace this part with the improved gear wheel (pos. 204)
                      which is grey in colour.
     REMARKS        : Improved CAM gear wheel was introduced in production from week
                      9704 onwards.
     REMARKS        : This problem may be present in all sets using Tuner 95 board
                      produced before 6th March 1997 (week 9710).
REMARKS :
     REMARKS       : This problem may be found in sets starting with serial number
                     CB01 9714 0.....
SYMPTOM : The tape mechanism fails and cassette cannot be taken away.
     CURE          : The cause is due to Cam gear shaft cracked by weld line.
                     Replacement of control disc (pos. 25 in MC170) is not recommended
                     because of critical assembly & alignment control.

REMARKS :
     SYMPTOM       : If the custormer changes the mode or any volume/DSC setting on the
                     set, the new setting will be automatically stored in the EEPROM.
                     If now the set is switched off after 1 second of the last setting change
                     on the set, it is possible that a wrong information will be written to the
                     EEPROM. If the set is switched on, the customer can have a strange
                     volume knob function.
                     The volume setting is at mininum but the output power is very
                     loud.
                       The EEPROM will load with default data. Please note that the
                       customer settings like Tuner settings will be lost.

     REMARKS       : The EEPROM clear procedure can also be found in the FW670P
                     service manual page 3-9.
SYMPTOM : The clock is inaccurate and runs 20 seconds too slow per day.
     CURE          : The cause of the problem is due to the Quartz frequency out of
                     specification. This problem is solved by changing capacitors 2404 and
                     2405 from 120pF to 15pF (5322 122 33869).
REMARKS :
SYMPTOM : Some sets are delivered with wrong AM grid 10kHz instead of 9kHz.
     CURE          : The sets can be adapted by the local service workshop by the
                     procedure given below:
                     1. Remove jumper J284 (on the Front board)
                     2. Add jumper J283
REMARKS :
     SYMPTOM       : The set does not work and the display shows
                     “CHECK OWNER’S MANUAL”.

REMARKS : Improved capacitors are used in production from week 9724 onwards.
     CURE           : The spring near the common wheel is loose because the spring
                      holder has broken by extreme large force applied to the button.
                      Because both buttons are rather small and rather close to each other,
                      the undesired button can accidentally be pressed down together with
                      the other button.
     INFORMATION    : The Recording Lever (pos. 503) is now available via service
                      codenumber 4822 402 10786.
REMARKS :
SYMPTOM : The Gear Wheels (pos. 202 and 204) are out of position.
     CURE            : The problem occurs when the Drawer (pos. 216) gets stuck and the
                       customer pushes it back strongly by hand. It is recommended to
                       replace not only the 2 Gear Wheels but also the Drawer.
     REMARKS         : The tooling of the Drawer (4822 444 40727) has been modified.
                       New Drawers are implemented in production from week 9648
                       onwards.
REMARKS :
SYMPTOM : Preset tuner frequencies get lost when the mains is disconnected.
     CURE            : To extend the memory retaining time Zener diode ZD302 must be
                       changed from 4.7V to 6.8V (4822 130 34278).
REMARKS :
     INFORMATION     : For sets with factory change code KT02, some statements in the
                       Instruction for Use are found to be wrong.
                       On the page of CONTROLS, the STOP button will not activate
                       charging. The fact is that the NiCad battery pack will be charged
                       automatically if the mains adaptor is connected.
                       Also in the TROUBLESHOOTING chapter, words “no CHARGE
                       indicator” should be deleted because “CHARGE” will never appear on
                       the display.
REMARKS : Instruction for Use will be updated from week 9731 onwards.
      INFORMATION     : For COMBI board “A03” (used in sets produced until October 1995),
                        the microprocessor IC 7800 is replaced by an OTP version.

     SYMPTOM       : During high sound reproduction level, the Loudspeaker boxes move
                     when placed on a smooth surface due to vibration.
     CURE          : This problem can be solved by adding 4 pieces of rubber foot to keep
                     it in position.
                     The service code for rubber foot is 4822 462 40683.
REMARKS :
     INFORMATION   : In the MX731 system package the label on the Loudspeaker box is
                     LSB680V21HT instead of FB680V/21 as indicated in the Service
                     Manual. This loudspeaker box is correct and to avoid confusion it will
                     be changed to FB680V/21 for set production from April 1997
                     onwards.

     CURE            : The capacitors C801, C802, C803 and C804 which are connected in
                       parallel with rectifier diodes will burn out and short circuit by high PP
                       transit voltage. This causes damage of the mains transformer.
                       Capacitors must be replaced with ceramic capacitors of 0.022µF/63V
                       (e.g. 4822 122 30103).
     REMARKS         : Capacitors with higher voltage rating are used in production from
                       week 9633 onwards.
                       When sets produced before week 9633 or the 4 capacitors are
                       marked with “AEC” are brought in for repair, we suggest to replace
                       the capacitors with 4822 122 30103 or capacitors with equivalent
                       specification.
