It’s been awhile since my last mod of Toshiba SD-2960 DVD Player here, here, and here. Now, it’s time for more fun. I plan to reclock the DVD Player with TentLabs XO2 reclock module.

The first and most tempting job is to find the servo processor pin out which connected to the original oscillator.

Here is the “poor’s man x-ray” photo Well, it’s not a real x-ray actually. I just take a picture with strong light (you can use light/LED torch) on the other side of the PCB. By doing this, we will be able to see the lines on the PCB. The PCB is two layer through hole. So it may have connection both on the top and bottom side.

I need some touch for my old Toshiba SD-2960 DVD Player. So here is the TentLabs XO2 @ 27 MHz, a perfect yet affordable reclock solution for my wallet.

This is actually a simple PCB. Not all parts used, since this PCB actually “upgradeable”. I bought the XO2 version (Clock Upgrade + Low Noise PSU). If in the future, I wish to upgrade to XO3 (XO2 + S/PDIF reclock), I just contact Guido Tent @ TentLabs to put more components on this PCB.
