SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The self-diagnosis function consists of error codes for customers which are displayed automatically when errors occur, and error codes which show the error history in the test mode during servicing. For details on how to view error codes for the customer, refer to the following box in the instruction manual. For details on how to check error codes during servicing, refer to the following "Procedure for using the Self-Diagnosis Function (Error History Display Mode)".

PROCEDURE FOR USING THE SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION (ERROR HISTORY DISPLAY MODE)
Note: Perform the self-diagnosis function in the "error history display mode" in the test mode. The following describes the least required procedure. Be careful not to enter other modes by mistake. If you set other modes accidentally, press the MENU/NO button to exit the mode. ± ± 1. While pressing the [ AMS ] knob and [ ] button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the [ AMS ] knob p and [ ] button. p ± 2. Turn the [ AMS ] knob and when "[Service]" is displayed, press the [YES] button. ± 3. Turn the [ AMS ] knob to display "ERR DP MODE". 4. Press the [YES] button to sets the error history mode and displays "total rec". ± 5. Select the contents to be displayed or executed using the [ AMS ] knob. ± 6. Press the [ AMS ] knob to display or execute the contents selected. ± 7. Press the [ AMS ] knob another time returns to step 4. 8. Press the [MENU/NO] button to display "ERROR DP MODE" and release the error history mode. 9. To release the test mode, press the [FILTER] button. The unit sets into the STANDBY state, the disc is ejected, and the test mode ends.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety check before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below. LEAKAGE TEST The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes.). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods. 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these instruments. 2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job. 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

CAUTION Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Flexible Circuit Board Repairing · Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 °C during repairing. · Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times). · Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering. Notes on chip component replacement · Never reuse a disconnected chip component. · Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged by heat.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body. During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down 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 concentrated so as to be focused on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

2. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECKING LASER DIODE EMISSION
To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.

3. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF OPTICAL PICK-UP (KMS-260A)
As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by static electricity, solder the laser tap of the flexible board when using it. Before disconnecting the connector, desolder first. Before connecting the connector, be careful not to remove the solder. Also take adequate measures to prevent damage by static electricity. Handle the flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

4. Use the following tools and measuring devices. · Check Disc (MD) TDYS-1 (Part No. 4-963-646-01) · Test Disc (MDW-74/AU-1) (Part No. 8-892-341-41) · Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Part No. J-2501-046-A) or MD Laser power meter 8010S (Part No. J-2501-145-A) · Oscilloscope (Measure after performing CAL of prove) · Digital voltmeter · Thermometer · Jig for checking BD board waveform (Part No. : J-2501-149-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.

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.

Be sure to perform this adjustment when the optical pick-up is replaced. If the adjustment results becomes "Adjust NG!", the optical pickup may be faulty or the servo system circuits may be abnormal. 15-1. CD Auto Gain Control Output Level Adjustment Adjusting Procedure : 1. Load the check disc (MD) TDYS-1. ± 2. Turn the [ AMS ] knob to display "AG Set (CD)" (C26). 3. When the [YES] button is pressed, the adjustment will be performed automatically. "Complete!!" will then be displayed momentarily when the value is recorded in the non-volatile memory, after which the display changes to "AG Set (CD)". 4. Press the [EJECT ] button and take out the check disc. § 15-2. MO Auto Gain Control Output Level Adjustment Adjusting Procedure : 1. Load the test disc (MDW-74/AU-1). ± 2. Turn the [ AMS ] knob to display "AG Set (MO)" (C25). 3. When the [YES] button is pressed, the adjustment will be performed automatically. "Complete!!" will then be displayed momentarily when the value is recorded in the non-volatile memory, after which the display changes to "AG Set (MO)". 4. Press the [EJECT ] button and take out the test disc. §

14. FOCUS BIAS CHECK
Change the focus bias and check the focus tolerance amount. Checking Procedure : 1. Load the continuously-recorded disc. (Refer to "5. CREATING CONTINUOUSLY-RECORDED DISC") ± 2. Turn the [ AMS ] knob to display "CPLAY MODE" (C30). 3. Press the [YES] button twice to display "CPLAY MID". 4. Press the [MENU/NO] button when "C = AD = " is displayed. ± 5. Turn the [ AMS ] knob to display "FBIAS CHECK" (C05). / c = ". 6. Press the [YES] button to display " The first four digits indicate the C1 error rate, the two digits after [/] indicate ADER, and the 2 digits after [c =] indicate the focus bias value. Check that the C1 error is below 50 and ADER is below 2. 7. Press the [YES] button and display " / b = ". Check that the C1 error is about 200 and ADER is below 2. 8. Press the [YES] button and display " / a = ". Check that the C1 error is about 200 and ADER is below 2 9. Press the [MENU/NO] button, then press the [EJECT ] but§ ton and take out the disc.
Note 1: If the C1 error and ADER are above other than the specified value at points A (step 8. in the above) or B (step 7. in the above), the focus bias adjustment may not have been carried out properly. Adjust perform the beginning again.
