5. USING THE CONTINUOUSLY RECORDED DISC
* This disc is used in focus bias adjustment and error rate check.
The following describes how to create a continuous recording
disc.
1. Insert a disc (blank disc) commercially available.
2. Press the . "R" or > "R"
(C35).
3. Press the ENTER/YES "R"
MID".
Display "CREC 1(0300)" and start to recording.
4. Complete recording within 5 minutes.
5. Press the button and stop recording .
MENU/NO "R"
6. Press the Z (MD) button and remove the disc.
The above has been how to create a continuous recorded data for
the focus bias adjustment and error rate check.
Note: Be careful not to apply vibration during continuous recording.
6. CHECKS PRIOR TO REPAIRS
These checks are performed before replacing parts according to
"approximate specifications" to determine the faulty locations. For
details, refer to "Checks Prior to Parts Replacement and Adjustments
in MD" (see page 25).
6-1. Temperature Compensation Offset Check
When performing adjustments, set the internal temperature and room
temperature to 22 to 28ºC.
Procedure:
1. Press the . "R" or > "R"
CHECK" (C12).
2. Press the
ENTER/YES "R"
3. "T=@@(##) [OK]" should be displayed. If "T=@@ (##) [NG]"
is displayed, it means that the results are bad.
(@@ indicates the current value set, and ## indicates the value
written in the non-volatile memory.)
6-2. Laser Power Check
Before starting adjustment;
The laser power adjustment value changes depending upon the types
of the optical pick-up (KMS-260B or KMS-260E).
Check the type of the optical pick-up before starting adjustment.
(See the illustrations "The method of ideutifying the optical pick-
up" on page 35
Before checking, check the Iop value of the optical pick-up.

digital volt meter satisfy the specified value.
Specified Value:
Laser power meter reading :
KMS-260B 6.8 to 7.2 mW
KMS-260E 7.0 to 7.5 mW

Note: After step 4, each time the
display will be switched to "LD 0.7W$
Nothing needs to be performed here.
Checking Location: BD (MD) board (see page 38)
6-3. Iop Compare
The current Iop value at laser power 7 mW output and reference
Iop value (set at shipment) written in the nonvolatile memory are
compared, and the rate of increase/decrease will be displayed in
percentage.
Note: Perform this function with the optical pick-up set at room tempera-
ture.
Procedure:
1. Press the or
."R" > "R"

2. Press the
ENTER/YES "R"
3. When measurements complete, the display changes to "± xx%
yy".
xx is the percentage of increase/decrease, and OK or NG is
displayed at yy to indicate whether the percentage of increase/
decrease is within the allowable range.
4. Press the button to end.
