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. UNLEADED SOLDER Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size) : LEAD FREE MARK Unleaded solder has the following characteristics. · Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher than ordinary solder. Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350 °C . Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful! · Strong viscosity Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc. · Usable with ordinary solder It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.

MZ-N1 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-5R) 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. · Replacement of CXD2677-202GA (IC801) used in this set requires a special tool. · The shipment data will be cleared when the NV is reset. Therefore, change the NV adjusted values following the Change of NV Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset. (See page 19) · This set requires the patch data in the nonvolatile memory (IC802) to be rewritten using the application, when the MAIN board or nonvolatile memory (IC802) was replaced. (See page 27)

OPTICAL PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD
· 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 (S804 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 8)

Note
The optical digital output connector (on computers provided with one) may be disabled during playback for the protection of copyrights.

MZ-N1 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.

5. The display changes a shown below each time the jog dial (down) is turned or the [DISPLAY] key on the remote commander is pressed.

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.

Outline
· In this set, automatic adjustment of CD and MO can be performed by entering the test mode. However, before starting automatic adjustment, the memory clear, power supply adjustment, and laser power check must be performed in the manual mode. · 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.

NV Reset
Caution: The shipment data will be cleared when the NV is reset. Therefore, change the NV adjusted values following the Change of NV Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset. Change the NV adjustment values according to the microcomputer version. · Setting method of NV reset 1. Select the manual mode of the test mode, and set item number 021 NV Reset (see page 14).

Precautions for Adjustment
1. Adjustment must be done in the test mode only. After adjusting, release the test mode. 2. Use the following tools and measuring instruments. · Test CD disc TDYS-1 (Part No. : 4-963-646-01) · SONY MO disc available on the market · Digital voltmeter · Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Part No. : J-2501-046-A) · Thermometer (using the Temperature Correction) 3.
