Hardware

So, what's inside the EuroLine 6652 DVD-player? It seems to be almost the exact same things as in a EuroLine 6650/United 3155 (with VCD/SVCD capabilities).

All these pictures are from my friends EuroLine 6652, so yours may not look exactly the same inside.

This is the inside of one of my EuroLine 6652.

 


IC board

The PCB that hosts all the IC's in the 6652 looks like this:

The PCB of the EuroLine 6652.

Here is a list of components and their function on the board above:

IC Function
ESS VideoDrive ES4408F Video Processor chip
MediaTek MT1388E DVD-Player Servo/Decoder/µP chip
AVS Technology AV3168 NTSC/PAL Video encoder
MediaTek MT1366F DVD-Player RF Amplifier chip
2 x ESMT M12L16161A-7T 512K x 16Bit x 2Banks Synchronous DRAM (143 MHz)
ESMT M11B416256A-35J 256K x 16 DRAM EDO PAGE MODE (72 MHz)
ST M29F800AT 8Mbit (1M x 8 or 512k x 16, Boot Block) Flash (DVD Firmware)
SST 27SF010-70 128K x 8Bit EEPROM (DVD-drive firmware?)
ROHM BA5954FP CD/DVD-ROM Motor/Actuator Driver
AVS Technology AV2188E 6-channel 24/20-Bit, 96-KHz D/A Converter for Audio
Texas Instrument HCU04 Hex Inverters
3 x ST C4558 Wide Bandwidth Bipolar Operational Amplifiers

I have tried to find data sheets for all the chips, but did not find any for "MediaTek MT1388E", "MediaTek MT1366F" and "BA5954FP". If you have data sheets for any of these devices, please contact me!


DVD-drive

The DVD-drive is not a standard IDE DVD-drive as it is in many DVD players. It seems to be the same drive in all EuroLine/United players.

Power Supply

Not much to say, it's a power supply with all the things that a power supply usually have:

The PS in the EuroLine 6652. The small PCB on the right is for the phones output.

 


SCART

There is also a small PCB that contains the SCART-socket.

Not much to say, very simple PCB. As you can see by the number of wires and the marking on the PCB, the SCART-socket has only composite video (and of course stereo-audio also).

 


If anyone has any more information about the hardware in the EuroLine 6652, or can tell me if I have made any errors on this page, please contact me.
