General Unit Function (UUT = Unit Under Test)
1) From the signal generator, connect one line level (RCA) cable to the Subwoofer Line Level Input jacks L/R on the UUT. Use a Y-cable from a mono source if necessary to connect to both inputs. Do not connect to the single, purple SUB input.
2) Turn on generator; adjust to 75mV, 50 Hz.
3) Plug in UUT; turn the power switch ON. Turn LEVEL control full clockwise (MAX)
4) LED should turn from Amber to Blue (on top of UUT); immediate and vigorous bass response should be heard and felt from port tube opening.
5) Turn off generator, turn LEVEL control full counterclockwise (MIN), and disconnect RCA cable.
6) Connect one pair of speaker cables to Speaker Level input terminal (IN) on UUT. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier fed by the signal generator.
7) Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level input at the amplifier is 1.6V, 50 Hz. Turn LEVEL control full clockwise.
8) LED should turn from Amber to Blue; immediate and vigorous bass response should be heard and felt from the port tube opening.

Sweep Function
1) Follow steps 6-8 above, using a sweep generator as a signal source.
2) Sweep generator from 20Hz to 300Hz. Listen to the cabinet and drivers for any rattles, clicks, buzzes or
any other noises. If any unusual noises are heard, remove woofers and test.
Driver Function
1) Remove woofer from cabinet; detach + and - wire clips.
2) Check DC resistance of woofer; it should be 3.0 ohms +/-10%
3) Connect a pair of speaker cables to driver terminals. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier fed by a signal generator. Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level output is 5.0V.
4) Sweep generator from 20Hz to 1kHz. Listen to driver for any rubbing, buzzing, or other unusual noises.

CROWN XTi Series AMPLIFIRES – firmware update – protection system – troubleshooting – Power amplifier Schematic diagram

CROWN XTi Series

Updating Firmware RS-232 Method
If the microcontroller (U1, LPC2142) has NEVER been programmed before 

Connect the Serial 4-pin header to J2. IMPORTANT!! The header MUST be connected with the correct polarity or fatal damage can result. Pin 1 on the header should be connected to pin 1 of the connector. See figure below:

To program a new device connect the header to J2 and apply power. TP17 does NOT have to be pulled low because the micro does not have a valid program to run and will therefore automatically enter bootloader mode.

Open up the Philips Flash Utility Program (version 2.2.2)

Under Flash Programming, make sure the correct file is selected to download. Select the Device (LPC2142),

Select the XTAL Freq. (kHz): 16000

Select the Erase Entire Device button Select the correct file to load: (currently XTI_LPC_01_00_08b.hex)

Press the Read Device ID button. The Part ID and Bootloader ID will show up. If they do not and this operation times out, then most likely, the device is not in bootloader mode, there is something wrong in the configuration or setup or the cable is not correctly connected. If the device is not in bootloader mode proceed.

Select Upload to Flash and the programming will start.

After it is finished you may select Compare Flash. This will read back the flash memory and compare it to what was just programmed (Pass/Fail)

Cycle the Power to the amp and close the Flash Utility Program.

If the microcontroller (U1, LPC2142) has been previously programmed.

To reprogram a device, it is first necessary to put it in bootloader mode. This is done by shorting TP17 to ground during a power up. After the unit powers up, the ground can be removed or left connected, doesn’t matter. (Hint: Use a test lead connected to TP5(GND) on one end and TP17 on the other). The LCD should be blank.

Again follow the steps in Part 1 to connect the Serial interface board to J2 and open the Philips Flash Utility.

Press the Read Device ID button. The Part ID and Boot Loader ID should be displayed. Again follow the steps in Part 1 to send new firmware. If this does not work, there is most likely a hardware problem, check for shorts, correct power, bridges, other hardware problem.

To verify serial flash and check the current firmware version number

At any time hold down all three front panel buttons for at least 3 seconds. This puts the amplifier into a diagnostic mode. NOTE: While in this mode the front panel LED’s will NOT be updated. Also, the governor is disabled. Use the Next and Prev buttons to scroll thru the displays. They are outlined below:

Screen 1: Power Supply Temperature Sensor Read out in degrees C

Screen 2: Ch1 Temperature Sensor Read out in degrees C

Screen 3: Ch2 Temperature Sensor Read out in degrees C

Screen 4: Firmware version number read back from Serial Flash (eg. 1. 1. 0.15)

NOTE: The temperatures displayed are the raw unprocessed readings. They are updated approximately every 600ms and should be accurate.

LCD display looks to be corrupted.

If the text on the LCD looks to be bogus, it most likely is because the serial flash is blank or corrupt or is out of sync with the microcontroller program.
This problem can be resolved by updating the firmware via USB. This method ensures that both the serial flash and microcontroller are reprogrammed.

Programming the microcontroller (U1) and serial flash (U15) via USB

# Connect the amplifier to a PC via USB.

# Open up the CLoader Utility 2.10 or newer

# If fw is older than 1.0.22.0 send .hex file. Otherwise, send .s file

How to Use the CLoader Utility

Instructions: Simply run this utility with an amplifier connected to USB, it should show up in the dialog window. If it does not, unplug the USB cable, cycle power on the amp, plug in the USB cable again and try again.

If amplifier still does not show up, verify that the D+ USB data line is pulled high thru R19. With the USB cable unplugged, use a meter to measure R19, it should be pulled up to +3.3V thru Q23. Pulling this line high tells the USB host that the device is ready for communications.

After the amp shows up in the window, select "Load File" and select the firmware file to be downloaded. Wait for amp to reboot and download successful display.

To run from a command line

Simply type the name of the utility space and the name of the file to be loaded. When run from a command line, it creates a file named "LdrError.txt". There is a number inside this file as follows:

0 - Success

1 - Amplifier not found

2 - File invalid or not found

3 - USB communications error

4 - Abort Button pressed

The loader terminates upon encountering an error, or when successfully programming the amplifier. The error file is blown away if found when the loader starts, and is written just before it terminates.

It helps to have the utility and firmware file in the same directory and with no spaces in the folder names. If there are spaces, use " " around the path name.

Protection Features

Thermal Limiter 

The thermal limiter should have the following profile. The limiter threshold should be ramped down very smooth and slow to -24dB (0.25 dB/sec). The release from -24dB to 0 should also be very smooth and slow (0.125 dB/sec). The jump to -36dB and -42dB will be quick and fast, however, the output should be squashed down so much at this point, I don’t think it will be a problem.

= 79C Very Slowly ramp up to 0dB Turn the front panel red Thermal LED OFF

Shorted Output Protection (2000/4000 models only)

This is really an extension of the clip limiter. It is based on the number of clip events. If the clip eliminator routine has counted 243 clip events and run the limiter all the way down to -24dB, it continues to count clip events. If the clip count gets up to 5243 (approximately 500ms after full attenuation), then a “SHORT” routine is entered. The channel is muted, the ready LED turned off and a message is displayed on the LCD “SHORT 1”; 1 for ch1 or a 2 for ch2. If the amp is in bridge mode, both channels should mute and the display message will be for ch1.

The amp channels are held in mute for one second. After that, they are unmuted, if the short condition persists, they are muted again. The amp should be capable of enduring this condition indefinitely. Because during a short condition, there is no output voltage, the tracker will keep the rails at the minimum 30V, so amplifier is not in a highly stressful state.

Troubleshooting

1. After power up an audible tone may be heard in the speakers.
Part Description: R809: C.P.N.: A11368-49910 4.99K 1% 0603 SMT Resistor R810: C.P.N.: A11368-10020 10K 1% 0603 SMT Resistor R814: C.P.N.: A11368-40220 40.2K 1% 0603 SMT Resistor
Procedure:

1) Place amplifier on bench and remove the top cover using a Torx 15 bit.
2) Locate and replace resistors R809, R810, and R814 with the values listed above.

2. Capacitor C925 goes out of tolerance causing the Crystal Y901 to make the DSP and or Codec chip to become unstable, i.e. Loud Static or Pink type noises, “Short” appear on the display, random level changes in output, audio output to drop out on one or both channels, severely distorted audio on one or both channels.

Part Description: C925: C.P.N.: A11369-100J1 10pF Capacitor 50V 0603 SMT
Procedure:

1) Place amplifier on bench and remove the top cover using a Torx 15 bit.
2) Locate and replace capacitor C925 with the value listed above. See Figure 1 below

3. Electrolytic Fluid leaking from caps causing board damage.

Part Description: 133323-1; Cap, 3800UF 125V Alum Elect.
Procedure: Some of the electrolytic capacitors used in XTi, CDi, and DSi amplifiers have been found to have a defect that allows them to leak fluid onto the board. The fluid could eventually cause the high voltage traces on the printed circuit board to short and the amplifier to fail.
Inspect the area around C47 and C48. If fluid is observed in this area the main board must be replaced.

4. Erratic volume, no audio or intermittent audio on the output. The Signal LED may stay lit even without audio output.
Part Description: 138911-4; XTi Display board “New”
138912-4; CDi/DSi Display board “New”
Procedure: When an XTI, CDI, or DSi amplifier is returned with a complaint of changing volume level or intermittent output audio, replace the display board with a 13891X-4 or greater revision.

SHARP TU-R160H-TU-R162H-TU-R252H PVR TROUBLESHOOTING AND POWER SUPPLY SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

Troubleshooting

Problem
The picture is freezing during live TV or playback recording
The picture is skipping during live TV or playback recording
The picture is blocking (Pixelated) during live TV or playback recording
The channel I am watching is working, but the PIP or recording I have made is exhibiting the faults mentioned
Solution
There could be many reasons for this fault.
Follow the guidelines provided below.
Signal Problem
The first item to check is that you are in an area that receives a Freeview signal.
The Freeview signal cover 97% of the United Kingdom, but there are variations in the channels that you can receive.
Example:
If you live in the Manchester area, postcode M40 5BE, you are able to receive the whole family of Freeview channels.
If you live in the Worcestershire area, postcode WR9 8JB, you are able to receive some of the Freeview channels.

Note: A signal related fault is not a fault with your Sharp DTR.
If you contact the Sharp DTR helpline, we will be unable to deal with your request. Signal related problems should be dealt with by your retailer or via an approved aerial installation company. In most cases, skipping / freezing / blocking is caused by a reception problem - either the signal is too weak or there is some kind of interference.
Example:
The first tuner in the Sharp Freeview recorder will receive the signal at the same level quality as your single tuner Freeview box.
The second tuner in the Sharp Freeview recorder will receive the signal at a slight reduction of 0.5dB less than the first tuner.
If you are receiving a borderline signal, this may result in your PIP or recording skipping / freezing / blocking.

In rare cases, skipping / freezing / blocking is caused by a reception problem - the signal is too strong.
Example:
If you are living in an area that receives a signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter or if you are positioned very close to the transmitter.

The final cause of your problem is the channel you are watching is working, but the PIP or recording is skipping / freezing / blocking.
Example:
I am watching BBC1, but my recording from Channel FIVE is skipping / freezing / blocking. This is caused by the variation in signal strength between the different multiplexes. Different channels are located on different multiplexes.

Hard Disk Malfunction

On rare occasions the Hard Disk may malfunction, in most cases formatting the Hard Disk will restore normal operation however ALL the data stored on the Hard Disk will be lost. Ensure you dub important recordings onto Video or DVD before you format the HDD.
Press the “Menu” button on the remote control.
Using the cursor arrows on the remote control, select “SETUP”.
Using the cursor arrows on the remote control, select “RECORDINGS”
Press OK when the “Format Disk” option is highlighted.
A menu appears, in which you will be asked for a pin number. If you have not changed the pin number, the factory default is 0000.
After you enter the pin number, a pop-up menu appears on the screen to ensure that the hard disk should be formatted.
Select "YES" and press OK to format the Hard Disk. Select "NO" and press OK to cancel.

Displays “ STARTING “ and No function.

When the protection function worked to turn off the power
The FL display of this unit displays the data of protection function which worked at that time then the main menu (sub-menu “1.
ANALOG BYPAS” of main menu 1 BYPASS) a few seconds later.
Note: At that time if you reactivate the self-diagnostic function after turning off the power once by pressing the “MAIN
ZONE ON/OFF” key, “NO PROTECT” will be displayed because that situation is equal to “1. When the power is turned off by usual operation:” described above.
However the protection function history is stored in a backup memory. For details, refer to main menu 21 PROTECTION HISTORY.

When the protection function worked due to excess current

Cause: An excessive current flowed through the power amplifier.
Supplementary information: As current of the power amplifier is detected, the abnormal channel can be identified by
checking the current detect transistor.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work immediately and the
power supply will instantly be shut off.

Note:  Applying the power to this unit without correcting the abnormality can be dangerous and cause additional circuit damage. To avoid this, if protection function has been activated 3 times continuously, the power will not turn on even when the “MAIN ZONE ON/OFF” key is pressed. In order to turn on the power again, disconnect the power cable of this unit from the AC outlet once and then reconnect it again.
# The output transistors in each amplifier channel should be checked for damage before applying power of this unit.
Amplifier current should be monitored by measuring DC voltage across the emitter resistors for each channel.

When the protection function worked due to a short between speaker terminals

Cause: The line between speaker terminals is shorted.
Supplementary information: As the excess current is detected after operation of the speaker relay, the shorted speaker
terminal and the connected speaker can be identified.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work immediately and the
power supply will instantly be shut off.

When the protection function worked due to abnormal DC output

Cause: DC output from the power amplifier is abnormal.
Supplementary information: The protection function worked due to a DC voltage appearing at the speaker terminal. A cause could be a defect in the amplifier.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work in 3 seconds and the power supply will be shut off.

When the protection function worked due to abnormal voltage in the power supply section

Cause: The voltage in the power supply section is abnormal.
Supplementary information: The protection function worked due to a defect or overload in the power supply.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work in 1 second and the power supply will be shut off.

When the protection function worked due to excessive heat sink temperature

Cause: The temperature on the heat sink is excessive.
Supplementary information: The protection function worked due to the temperature limit being exceeded.
Causes could be poor ventilation or a defect related to the thermal sensor.
Turning on the power without correcting the abnormality will cause the protection function to work in 1 second and the power supply will be shut off.
History of protection function
When the protection function has worked, its history is stored in memory with a backup.
Even if no abnormality is noted while servicing the unit, an abnormality which has occurred previously can be defined as long as the backup data has been stored.
For details of the history of protection function, refer to main menu 21 PROTECTION HISTORY.
The history of the protection function is cleared when self-diagnostic function is cancelled by selecting PRESET RESERVED (Memory initialised) of main menu 24 or when the backup data is erased.
