potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human
body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown 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 concerated so as to be focused on the disc reflective surface by
