MZ-R900 SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTES
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 Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight. NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK (LCX-4R) The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down easily. When handling it, perform soldering bridge to the laser-tap on the flexible board. Also perform measures against electrostatic break-down sufficiently before the operation. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care. · In performing the repair with the power supplied to the set, removing the MAIN board causes the set to be disabled. In such a case, fix a convex part of the open/close detect switch (S806 on MAIN board) with a tape in advance. Handle the FLEXIBLE board (overwrite head) with care, as it has been soldered directly to the MAIN board. In repairing the component side of MAIN board, connect the FLEXIBLE board (overwrite head) and the MAIN board with the lead wires in advance. (See page 7)

· Replacement of CDX2671-203GA (IC801) used in this set requires a special tool. · On the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, some adjusted values were set in the manual mode at the shipment, but these data will be cleared when the NV is reset. Therefore, on the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, change the adjusted values following the Change of Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset. (See page 17) · If the nonvolatile memory was replaced on the set, the modified program data must be written to the nonvolatile memory. In such a case, write the modified data that meets the microcomputer version following the patch data rewriting procedure at the replacement of nonvolatile memory. (See page 22)

OPTICAL PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD

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

MZ-R900 SECTION 4 TEST MODE
Outline
· This set provides the Overall adjustment mode that allows CD and MO discs to be automatically adjusted when in the test mode. In this overall adjustment mode, the disc is discriminate between CD and MO, and each adjustment is automatically executed in order. If a fault is found, the system displays its location. Also, the manual mode allows each individual adjustment to be automatically adjusted. · Operation in the test mode is performed with the set. A key having no particular description in the text, indicates a set key. · For the LCD display, the LCD on the remote commander is shown, but the contents of LCD display on the set are same.

Operation in Setting the Test Mode
· When the test mode becomes active, first the display check mode is selected. · Other mode can be selected from the display check mode. · When the test mode is set, the LCD repeats the following display.

· When the X key is pressed and hold down, the display at that time is held so that display can be checked. Caution: On the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, some adjusted values were set in the manual mode at the shipment, but these data will be cleared when the NV is reset. Therefore, on the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, change the adjusted values following the Change of Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset (see page 17).

Releasing the Test Mode
For test mode set with the method 1: Turn off the power and open the solder bridge on SL801 (TEST) on the MAIN board.

Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode
This set uses the self-diagnostic function system in which if an error occurred during the recording or playing, the mechanism control block and the power supply control block in the microcomputer detect it and record its cause as history in the nonvolatile memory. By checking this history in the test mode, you can analyze a fault and determine its location. Total recording time is recorded as a guideline of how long the optical pickup has been used, and by comparing it with the total recording time at the time when an error occurred in the selfdiagnosis result display mode, you can determine when the error occurred. Clear both self-diagnosis history data and total recording time, if the optical pickup was replaced. · Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode Setting Method 1. Setting the test mode (see page 12). 2. In the display check mode, press the [JOG LEVER $L% R] (up) key or [DISPLAY] key on the remote commander activates the self-diagnosis result display mode where the LCD display as shown below.
