ADJUSTMENTS
This set has been aligned at the factory and normally will not require further adjustment. As a result, it is not
recommended that any attempt is made to modificate any circuit. If any parts are replaced or if anyone tampers
with the adjustment, realignment may be necessary.

CDP ADJUSTMENTS
When change the pick-up must be confirm as follow
1. TRACKING BALANCE CONFIRMATION
1) Connect the oscilloscope to TEO and REF.(IC501 pin 54 and 71)
2) Access from 1st selection to last section of test disc (YEDS-18)
3) Confirm the normal state of tracking error signal (T.B deviation : less than ±3%)
2. RF WAVEFORM CONFIRMATION
1) Connect the oscilloscope to RF and REF.(IC501 pin 74 and 71)
2) Put a test disc (SONY YEDS-18) into unit and playback the 18th selection of the test disc.
3) Confirm the normal state of RF waveform.
4) Confirm the less than 30nS of Jitter Meter reading.
