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)

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 PICKUP (KMS-262A)
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. PRECAUTIONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS
1. When replacing the following parts, perform the adjustments and checks with in the order shown in the following table. 2. Set the test mode when performing adjustments. After completing the adjustments, exit 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 (MD) TDYS-1 (Parts No. 4-963-646-01) · Test Disk (MDW-74/GA-1) (Parts No. 4-229-747-01) · Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Parts No. J-2501-046-A) or MD Laser power meter 8010S (Parts No. J-2501-145-A)*1 · Oscilloscope (Measure after performing CAL of prove.) · Digital voltmeter · Thermometer · Jig for checking BD (MD) board waveform (Parts 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 Note on page 7.) 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.

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" (see page 9). 6-1. Temperature Compensation Offset Check When performing adjustments, set the internal temperature and room temperature to 22 to 28ºC. Checking Procedure: 1. Rotate the [ l AMS L ] (MD) knob to display "TEMP CHECK" (C12). 2. Press the [YES] button. 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 checking, check the Iop value of the optical pick-up. (Refer to 8. Recording and Displaying the Iop Information (see page 38.) Connection:

6-4. Auto Check This test mode performs CREC and CPLAY automatically for mainly checking the characteristics of the optical pick-up. To perform this test mode, the laser power must first be checked. Perform Auto Check after the laser power check and Iop compare. Procedure: 1. Press the [YES] button. If "LDPWR " is displayed, it means that the laser power check has not been performed. In this case, perform the laser power check and Iop compare, and then repeat from step 1. 2. If a disc is in the mechanical deck, it will be ejected forcibly. "DISC IN" will be displayed in this case. Load a test disc (MDW74/GA-1) which can be recorded. 3. If a disk is loaded at step 2, the check will start automatically. 4. When "XX CHECK" is displayed, the item corresponding to XX will be performed. When "06 CHECK" completes, the disc loaded at step 2 will be ejected. "DISC IN" will be displayed. Load the check disc (MD) TDYS-1. 5. When the disc is loaded, the check will automatically be resumed from "07 CHECK". 6. After completing to test item "12 check", check OK or NG will be displayed. If all items are OK, "CHECK ALL OK" will be displayed. If any item is NG, it will be displayed as "NG:xxxx". When "CHECK ALL OK" is displayed, it means that the optical pick-up is normal. Check the operations of the other spindle motor, sled motor, etc. When displayed as "NG:xxxx", it means that the optical pick-up is faulty. In this case, replace the optical pick-up. 6-5.
