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 dam-
aged 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
breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown 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 pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED LINE
WITH MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN
THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION.
REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH SONY P ARTS WHOSE
PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR
IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.

SERVICING NOTES
CHUCK PLATE JIG ON REPAIRING
On repairing CD section, playing a disc without the lid (CD), use
Chuck Plate Jig.
• Code number of Chuck Plate Jig: X-4918-255-1
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
1. Turn ON the [POWER] button and press [CD] button to
CD position.
2. Open the CD lid.
3. Turn on S801 with screwdriver, etc. as following figure.
4. Press the N X (CD) button.
5. Confirm the laser diode emission while observing the objecting
lens. When there is no emission, Auto P ower Control circuit or
Optical Pick-up is broken.
Objective lens moves up and do wn three times for focus search.

PRECAUTION TO REPLACE OPTICAL BLOCK
(KSM-213RDP)
Body or clothes electrostatic potential could ruin laser diode
in the optical block. Be sure ground body and workbench,
and use care the clothes do not touch the diode.
1) After the connection, remove solder shown in the right figure.
