SAFETY CHECK-OUT TABLE OF CONTENTS After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow- 1. SERVICING NOTE ............5 ing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, 2. GENERAL ................
SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTE JIG FOR CHECKING BD BOARD WAVEFORM The special jig (J-2501-124-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. 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...

4-6. FUNCTIONS OF OTHER BUTTONS Function Contents fl Sets continuous playback when pressed in the STOP state. When pressed during continuous playback, the tracking servo turns ON/OFF. Stops continuous playback and continuous recording. The sled moves to the outer circumference only when this is pressed. The sled moves to the inner circumference only when this is pressed.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS 5-1. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECKING LASER DIODE 5-3. PRECAUTIONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS EMISSINON 1) When replacing the following parts, perform the adjustments and checks with ¬ in the order shown in the following table. To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.

5-6. LASER PPOWER ADJUSTMENT 5-5. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION OFFSET Connection : ADJUTMENT Laser power Save the temperature data at that time in the non-volatile memory meter as 25 ˚C reference data. Note : 1. Usually, do not perform this adjustment. 2. Perform this adjustment in an ambient temperature of 22 ˚C to Optical pick-up 28 ˚C.
Page 33
5-7. TRAVERSE ADJUSTMENT 11. Rotate the AMS knob until the waveform of the oscilloscope moves closer to the specified value. Connection : In this adjustment, waveform varies at intervals of approx. 2%. Oscilloscope Adjust the waveform so that the specified value is satisfied as much as possible.
