    SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTE This unit cannot be repaired by itself. When repairing, connect the whole system except for the speaker. CD Text Display • This unit displays CD text. Text is displayed for the first 50 track only and will not be displayed from the 51st track onwards. Do not suspect a fault in this case. In some cases, some special characters will not be displayed and may be replaced by other characters.
  • Page 7 JIG FOR CHECKING BD BOARD WAVEFORM The special jig (J-2501-149-A) is useful for checking the waveform of the BD board. The names of terminals and the checking items to be performed are shown as follows. GND : Ground I+3V : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser) IOP : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser) TEO : TRK error signal (Traverse adjustment) : Reference level for checking the signal...
