Reading the Display:
Convert the hexadecimal display of each digit into binary display. If more than two causes, they will be added.
Example  When 42 is displayed:
Higher bit: 4 = 0100 
 b6
Lower bit: 2 = 0010 
 b1
In this case, the retry cause is combined of “CLV unlock” and “ader5”.
Example  When A2 is displayed:
Higher bit: A = 1010 
 b7+b5
Lower bit: 2 = 0010 
 b1
In this case, the retry cause is combined of “Access fault”, “IVR rec” and “ader5”.
The reading of the track mode display is as follows.
[Retry Cause Display Mode]
In this test mode, the retry causes of the MDS-JA333ES during record and stop modes can be displayed on the fluorescent display tube.
This mode becomes the “track mode” during playback in which the track information is available.
This mode is useful for locating the defective area of the MDS-JA333ES.
The contents to be displayed are as follows.
During record and stop modes: Retry cause, number of retries, and number of retry errors
During playback mode: Information such as disc types under playing back, position of playback and copyright.
Each information is displayed in hexadecimal number.
Procedure:
1. Load a recordable disc whose contents can be erased, into the MDS-JA333ES.
2. Press the  MENU/NO  button. After the message “Edit Menu” appears on the fluorescent display tube, rotate the  lAMSL  knob
until the message “All Erase ?” appears.
3. Press the  YES  button. (Alternately the  lAMSL  knob can also be pressed.)
4. The message “All Erase ?” appears on the fluorescent display tube. Then the numerals on the music calendar flash.
5. Press the  YES  button, then the message “Complete !” appears.  Press the  x  button immediately, and wait for about 15 seconds while
keeping pressing the button. (Alternately the  lAMSL  knob can be pressed instead of  YES  button.)
6. When the characters “TOC” have disappeared from the fluorescent display tube, remove your hands from the x button.
7. Press the  zREC  button to enter the record standby mode. Then press the  X  button to start recording.
8. When you want to enter the “Track mode”, press the  N  button to start playback.
