In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

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.
