Notes on chip component replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear
exterior.
The following caution label is located inside the unit.
Laser component in this product is capable
of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for
Class 1.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTES
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 repeatedly.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
HOW TO OPEN THE DISC TRAY WHEN POWER SWITCH
TURNS OFF
Insert a tapeing driver into the aperture of the unit bottom, and turn
in the direction of arrow (to OUT direction).
* To close the disc table, turn the driver in the reverse direction (to
IN direction).
SELF-DIAGNOSIS
This unit is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.
The function is used for diagnosing the conditions of the circuits of
the VIDEO board.
The circuits can be determined if normal or abnormal by the lighting
of D502 on the VIDEO board.
Lighting of D502
When lit
: Operates normally
Blinks repeatedly : The circuit may be faulty.

HOW TO CLEAN THE OPTICAL PICK-UP LENS
2 Remove the MAGNET ASSY
with tweezers.
3 Move the optical pick-up block by
rotating the gear, to the position
where lens can be cleaned.
Then clean the lens.

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 1 kHz sine wave signal as a sound signal are output by the
mechanism controller (IC502) for the video CD signal check. When measurement of the voltage and waveform on the VIDEO board,
perform it in this mode.
For reference, the color-bars signal can be observed at J302 (VIDEO OUT) and the sound signal can be observed at J151 (AUDIO
OUT) using an oscilloscope.
Procedure:
1. Connect the lead wire to both ends of the land of SL503 on the VIDEO board.
2. Turn the power on.
3. After 2 or 3 seconds later, connect the lead wire.
4. After measuring, remove the lead wire connected.
