SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTE
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
This model has the self-diagnosis function for the video and audio
decoder sections.
Immediately after the power on, the self-diagnosis function searches
each operation of IC's around the mechanism control microcomputer
(IC504).
The LED (D502) on the VIDEO board indicates their results.
[VIDEO BOARD] -- SIDE A --
HOW TO OPEN THE DISC TRAY WHEN POWER SWITCH
TURNS OFF
Insert a screwdriver into the aperture of the unit bottom, and turn in
the direction of arrow (to OUT direction).
* To close the disc table, turn the screwdriver in the reverse direction
(to IN direction).
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
break-down because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the "S curve check" in "CD section adjustment" and check
that the S curve waveform is output three times.

SECTION 2
TEST MODE
VIDEO CD COLOR-BARS MODE
On this mode, the data of the color-bars signal as a picture signal
and the 1kHz sine wave signal as a sound signal are output by the
mechanism control microcomputer (IC504) for video CD signal
check. When measurement of the voltage and waveform on the
MAIN board, perform it in this mode.
For reference, the color-bars signal can be observed at J103 (VIDEO
OUT) and the sound signal can be observed at J104 (AUDIO OUT)
using an oscilloscope.
1.
Connect the SL503 (C BAR (MICON)) on the VIDEO board
with solder.
2.
Turn the power on.
3.
After measuring, remove the soldering installed.
SERVO CHECK MODE
1.
Connect the SL502 on the VIDEO board with solder.
2.
Turn the power on.
1)
Coefficient display and gain display
The following hexadecimal data is displayed on the FL tube
when the JOG SELECTOR key is pressed. Every pressing of
the JOG SELECTOR key toggles between the following
displays.
2)
Pressing of the DNR/COMET key toggles between ON and
OFF of the tracking and sled servo.
3)
Pressing the PLAY MODE key (KARAOKE PON in K750)
during playback increases the FB value (every 4 steps).
Pressing the REPEAT key (SURROUND in K750) decreases
the FB value (every 4 steps).
4)
Pressing the ACTIVE key toggles between the normal speed
and double speed.
5)
Pressing the RETURN key toggles between the up FIL and
NO FIL.
6)
Pressing A
B key performs re-measurement of focus bias.

Lighting of All Fluorescent Indicator Tube
Displays and Key Check Mode
1.
Connect SL501 on the VIDEO board with solder.
2.
Turn the power on.
3.
All the Fluorescent Indicator tube displays light up.
4.
Press any button to enter the key check mode. In the key check
mode, each time a button is pressed, figures displayed on the
Fluorescent Indicator tube displays increase. However, figures
will not increase for buttons which have been pressed once.
The button number corresponding to the button pressed will
also be displayed. Button numbers are displayed only while
the corresponding buttons are pressed.
5.
After the test mode, remove the soldering installed.
