SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTES
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)
To Exposed Metal Parts on Set

CAUTION Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear exterior.

Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1. The following caution label is located inside the unit.

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. 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. 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.

Criteria for Determination (Unsatisfactory if specified value is not satisfied) Laser power check (6-1 : See page 23) · 0.9 mW power Specified value : 0.84 to 0.92 mW · 7.0 mW power Specified value : 6.8 to 7.2 mW IOP (at 7mW) · Labeled on the optical pickup IOP value ± 10% Focus bias check (6-2 : See page 23) · Error rate check Specified value : a. For points A and B C1 error : About 200 ADER : Below 2 b. For point C C1 error : Below 50 ADER : Below 2 · Error rate check Specified value : a. When using test disc (MDW-74/AU-1) C1 error : Below 80 ADER : Below 2 b. When using check disc (TDYS-1) C1 error : Below 50 · CPLAY error rate check Specified value : C1 error : Below 80 ADER : Below 2 Measure if unsatisfactory: · Clean the optical pick-up · Adjust again · Replace the optical pick-up · Replace the optical pick-up

· Replace the optical pick-up

C PLAY check (6-3 : See page 23)

· Replace the optical pick-up

Self-recording/playback check (6-4 : See page 23)

If always unsatisfactory: · Replace the overwrite head · Check for disconnection of the circuits around the overwrite head If occasionally unsatisfactory: · Check if the overwrite head is distorted · Check the mechanism around the sled

Note: The criteria for determination above is intended merely to determine if satisfactory or not, and does not serve as the specified value for adjustments. When performing adjustments, use the specified values for adjustments.

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 4) 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.

4. PRECAUTIONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS
1. When replacing the following parts, perform the adjustments and checks with ¬ in the order shown in the following table.
Optical Pick-up IC171 1. Recording of IOP information (Value on the optical pick-up label) 2. Temperature compensation offset adjustment 3. Laser power adjustment 4. EF balance adjustment 5. Focus bias adjustment 6. Error rate check BD Board D101 IC101, IC121 IC192

5. CREATING 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. Turn the JOG dial and display "CREC MODE". 3. Press the [YES, ENTER] button again to display "CREC MID". Display "CREC (0300)" and start to recording. 4. Complete recording within 5 minutes. 5. Press the [NO, CANCEL] button and stop recording . 6. Press the [MD EJECT Z ] button and remove the disc. The above has been how to create a continuous recorded data for the focus bias adjustment/check and MO error rate check.
Note : · Be careful not to apply vibration during continuous recording.
