SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING !
THE AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMISSION LEVEL) OF THE LASER POWER OUTPUT IS LESS THAN CLASS 1
BUT THE LASER COMPONENT IS CAPABLE OF EMITTING RADIATION EXCEEDING THE LIMIT FOR
CLASS 1.
A SPECIALLY INSTRUCTED PERSON SHOULD DO SERVICING OPERATION OF THE APPARATUS.
LASER DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
FOR CD :
MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 7 mW Continuous
WAVELENGTH : 780 nm
FOR SACD :MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 5 mW Continuous
WAVELENGTH : 650 nm
Additional Laser Caution
1. Laser Interlock Mechanism
· Loading switch (S101 on the LOAB Assy) is used for interlock
mechanism of the laser.
When this switch turned ON in SW2 (CLOSE) side (OPEN signal is
0V and CLOSE signal is 3.5V), a laser becomes the status which can
completely oscillation.
Furthermore, the laser completely oscillates in the disc judgment and
disc playback.
When player is power ON state and laser diode is not completely
oscillating, 780nm laser diode is always oscillating by half power.
· Laser diode is driving with Q307 (650nm LD) and Q308 (780nm LD)
on the DVDM Assy.
Therefore, when short-circuit between the emitter and collector of these
transistors or the base voltage is supplied for transistors turn on, the
laser oscillates. (failure mode)
· In the test mode *, there is the mode that the laser oscillates except
for the disc judgment and playback. LD ON mode in the test mode
oscillates with the laser forcibly.
The interlock mechanism mentioned above becomes invalid in this
mode.
2. When the cover is open, close viewing through the objective lens with
the naked eye will cause exposure to the laser beam.
LABEL CHECK

cleaning should be performed to restore their performances.
3. Lubricants, Glues, and Replacement parts
Use grease and adhesives that are equal to the specified substance.
Make sure the proper amount is applied.
5. Shipping mode and Shipping screws
To protect products from damages or failures during transit, the shipping mode should be set or the shipping screws should be
installed before shipment. Please be sure to follow this method especially if it is specified in this manual.

1. SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
1.1 NOTES ON SOLDERING
1.2 NOTES ON BTL DRIVE
· For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
· Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:
· Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.
Negative Speaker Terminal
Ground (Chassis)
Do not short-circuit
As a signal to drive the BTL is output from the negative speaker terminal, DO NOT short-circuit between the
negative speaker terminal and ground, such as the chassis.
