Burrs formed during molding may be left over on some parts of the chassis. Therefore,
pay attention to such burrs in the case of preforming repair of this system.
Please use enough caution not to see the beam directly or touch it in case of an
adjustment or operation check.

1.2 Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged,
can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
1.2.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as DVD players.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the
traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(caption)

Conductive material
(conductive sheet) or iron plate
(3) Handling the optical pickup
• In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical
pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorte d parts to their original condition.
(Refer to the text.)
• Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can
easily destroy the laser diode.
1.3 Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
(1) Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit.
(2) Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nipper s, e tc. after re pla cing th e optical picku p. For sp ecific details , refer to
the replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too
long a time when attaching it to the connector.
(3) Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force.
(4) I t is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it.
1.4 Attention when traverse unit is decomposed
*Please refer to "Disassembly method" in the text for the CD pickup unit.
• Apply solder to the short land before the flexible wire is disconnected from the connector on the CD pickup unit.
(If the flexible wire is disconnected without applying solder, the CDpickup may be destroyed by static electricity.)
• In the assembly, be sure to remove solder from the short land after connecting the flexible wire.

Servicing procedure
The magazine cannot be ejected until S601 (magazine switch) turns off.
Can the magazine be ejected? YES 1, NO 2
1 The magazine switch (S601) does not turn off even though the magazine is completely ejected.
2 Check that the magazine is not engaged with the mechanism assembly.
The lifter does not move up and down when exchanging or ejecting discs.
After resetting, check whether or not the lifter moves.YES 3, NO 4
3 If the lifter exceeds the required disc position, check the lift position input. (IC601 pin 76)
If the lifter does not reach the required disc position, check the mechanism (mainly the lifter
elevation mechanism)
4 Check that voltage is present at the motor terminal.
If voltage is present, check the lifter elevation mechanism. If voltage is not present, separate the
motor from the circuit and check again whether or not voltage is present.
If voltage is present, next check that the armature resistance of the position motor (resistance
between motor terminals) is approx. 12 .
If the resistance is excessively low (1 - 2 ), the motor is defective.
Trays cannot be opened or closed when exchanging or ejecting discs.
Does the tray move when changing or ejecting discs?YES 5, NO 6
5 Check that TRAY OUT SW (S602) and TRAY IN SW (S603) function correctly.

The E1 ~ E8 error displays described above may appear as E-1 ~ E-8, 1E1 ~1E8, R-1 ~ R-8, or RST1 ~ RST8,
depending on the product.
When selecting the CD Changer mode using function keys, etc., the unit does not enter the CD
changer mode, or the E8 error display appears. This signifies trouble relating to communications.
a Check the connection cables between the CD changer and the receiver (CD changer controller).
b Check the CD changer power cord and the fuse (including F901 on the PC board).
c Check IC651 and its peripheral circuits.

3.4 Maintenance of laser pickup
(1) Cleaning the pick up lens
Before you replace the pick up, please try to clean the lens
with a alcohol soaked cotton swab.
(2) Life of the laser diode
When the life of the laser diode has expired,the following
symptoms will appear.
• The level of RF output (EFM output:ampli tude of eye
pattern) will be low.
CH-X1500
3.5 Replacement of laser pickup
Turn off the power switch and,disconnect the
power cord from the ac outlet.
Replace the pickup with a normal one.(Refer
to "Pickup Removal" on the previous page)
Is RF output
1.0 0.35Vp-p?
NO
Replace it.
YES
O.K
(3) Semi-fixed resistor on the APC PC board
The semi-fixed resistor on the APC printed circuit board
which is attached to the pickup is used to adjust the laser
power.Since this adjustment should be performed to
match the characteristics of the whole optical block, do not
touch the semi-fixed resistor. If the laser power is lower
than the specified value,the laser diode is almost worn out,
and the laser pickup should be replaced. If the semi-fixed
resistor is adjusted while the pickup is functioning normally,the laser pickup may be damaged due to excessive current.
Plug the power cord in,and turn the power on.
At this time,check that the laser emits for
about 3seconds and the objective lens moves
up and down.
Note: Do not observe the laser beam directly.
Play a disc.
Check the eye-pattern at TP1.
Finish.
