After completing the adjustments, release the test mode. Perform the adjustments and checks in "Group Service" of the test mode. 3. Perform the adjustments to be needed in the order shown. 4. Use the following tools and measuring devices. · Check Disc (TDYS-1) (Part No. : 4-963-646-01) · Test Disk (MDW-74/GA-1) (Part No. : 4-229-747-01) · Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Part No. : J-2501-046-A) or MD Laser power meter 8010S (Part No. : J-2501-145-A)*1 · Oscilloscope (Measure after performing CAL of prove.) · Digital voltmeter · Thermometer · Jig for checking BD board waveform (Part No. : J-2501-196-A) 5. When observing several signals on the oscilloscope, etc., make sure that VC and ground do not connect inside the oscilloscope. (VC and ground will become short-circuited) 6. Using the above jig enables the waveform to be checked without the need to solder. (Refer to Servicing Notes on page 6) 7. As the disc used will affect the adjustment results, make sure that no dusts nor fingerprints are attached to it. *1 Laser power meter When performing laser power checks and adjustment (electrical adjustment), use of the new MD laser power meter 8010S (Part No. J-2501-145-A) instead of the conventional laser power meter is convenient. It sharply reduces the time and trouble to set the laser power meter sensor onto the objective lens of optical pick-up.
