5.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
In this section, causes of failure, diagnostics points, and corrective measures can be searched for according to symptoms.
If there is an error indication, see to "5.6 ERROR INDICATION" before disassembly this unit and check the abnormal contents.
A For the relationship of each power-supply and signal system, see “4.3 POWER BLOCK DIAGRAM.”
If software of the product is updated before performing diagnostics, check that software updating has been performed properly
before proceeding to diagnostics.
If software updating has not been performed properly, update the software, following the instructions in
“8.2 UPDATING OF THE FIRMWARE.”

5.3 MONITORING OF POWER SUPPLY AND VOLTAGE

MAIN uCOM (IC406) of this unit always monitors for power and voltage failure of the unit and will shut the unit off
immediately after an error is detected.
A
• Content to be monitored
Power supply voltage drop and power supply voltage rise generated by short-circuiting between any power-supply IC and
GND or excess current inside the MAIN ASSY
Power to be monitored: V+5_A, V+5_HP, V+7, V-6, V+3R3_D
• MAIN UCOM detection terminal and its terminal voltage
TP terminal near the R267 of MAIN ASSY or IC406 (MAIN UCOM) pin 107 FAULT_DET.
Normal: Approximately 3.3 V
Abnormal: 0 V
• Timing of monitoring start
After the unit is turned ON : After 1000 ms
B
• Timing upon judgment as a failure
After an error is detected : After 50 ms
• LED indication when an error is generated
All LEDs are unlit.
• Restoration method
If the unit shuts itself down because an error is detected, disconnect the USB cable after perform diagnosis,
wait for a while and then connect the USB cable on again.
• Diagnostic procedure
Disconnect the USB cable.
Check with the tester whether the monitoring voltage is short-circuited to the GND.
C
If it is short-circuited, repair the abnormal part and check it becomes normal voltage.
Remove R267 from the MAIN ASSY. Note: This step will disable power monitoring.
Reconnect the USB cable.
As the unit is turned on in a normal way, check each voltage in this state.
Note: Because power will be forcibly supplied even if any voltage is abnormal, if abnormal voltage continues,
defective point may produce heat, which may be dangerous. Therefore, during diagnosis, be sure to disconnect
the USB cable several seconds after they are connected so that forcible powering will not continue.
If voltage of any power IC is abnormal, circuit that uses that power or power IC itself may be defective.
Repair the defective part then check that the power and voltage of the repaired part becomes normal.
Return R267 to its original position on the MAIN ASSY.
Note: This step will enable power monitoring.
D
Circuit of this unit monitors for power and voltage failure from USB bus power and will shut the unit off immediately
after an error is detected.

5.4 ABOUT FUNCTION LIMIT MODE AT LOW VOLTAGE

This product always monitors voltage drop of the VBUS power (power to be supplied via a USB cable), which may be caused
by connection of a peripheral device that is not covered under warranty or an erroneous operation. If an abnormality is A
detected, product will limit the maximum output level of the headphone so that it can operate in a lower
power-consumption mode.
If an abnormality is generated, check the connected headphones and computer.
Drop in power voltage in the MAIN ASSY to be supplied via a USB cable
(Function limit mode at low voltage transition condition V+VBUS : 4.2 V to 4.5 V)
* Refer to “5.3 MONITORING OF POWER SUPPLY AND VOLTAGE” when 4.2 V or less.
Power voltages to be monitored : V+VBUS
• Microcomputer Detection terminal and its terminal voltage

Normal : Approximately 2.3 V to 2.6 V
Abnormal : < 2.3 V
• Timing of monitoring start


After an error is detected : After 50 ms
• Headphone level when an error is generated

Maximum output level of the headphone is suppressed to approximately 15%.
If normal power voltage is recovered, suppressed maximum output level of the headphone will return to its original level. C
• PAD LED of when an error occurs

Both Pad6 LEDs on the left and right deck blink.
When power voltage returns to normal condition, blink is cancelled.
• Items to be checked
Check if headphones with impedance outside the range of the guaranteed specifications (impedance 32 ohms or less)
are connected.
Check if a monaural plug is connected to the headphones connector.
Connected computer may not be able to supply enough USB power (may not meet USB standards).
