1.1 Safety Precautions

SECTION 1
PRECAUTIONS
!
!
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.
(No.MA247)1-7
Page 8

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 laser products. 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) Anti-static wrist strap
1M
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 shorted 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 nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific 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) It 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 pickup unit.
• Apply solder to the short land before the flexible wire is disconnected from the connector on the pickup unit. (If the flexible wire is disconnected without applying solder, the pickup may be destroyed by static electricity.)
• In the assembly, be sure to remove solder from the short land after connecting the flexible wire.

1.5 Important for laser products

!
1.CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
2.DANGER : Invisible laser radiation when open and inter
lock failed or defeated. Avoid direct exposure to beam.
3.CAUTION : There are no serviceable parts inside the
Laser Unit. Do not disassemble the Laser Unit. Replace
the complete Laser Unit if it malfunctions.
4.CAUTION : The CD,MD and DVD player uses invisible
laser radiation and is equipped with safety switches which
prevent emission of radiation when the drawer is open and
the safety interlocks have failed or are defeated. It is
dangerous to defeat the safety switches.
5.CAUTION : If safety switches malfunction, the laser is able
to function.
6.CAUTION : Use of controls, adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified here in may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Please use enough caution not to see the beam directly or touch it in case of an adjustment or operation check.

Does the RF signal appear at pin 83 of IC541?
YES
Check the spindle motor and its wiring.
Is the power supply
YES
present at pin 3, pin 12 and pin 21 of IC501?
Check the connections of CD8V power supply.
Check the connections
YES
between IC501 and IC541.
YES
Check IC541.
NO
YES
YES
Is the RF waveform at pin 83 of IC541 distorted?
NONO
Check the circuits in the vicinity of IC541 or the pickup.
Check IC501.
YES
Proceed to the Tracking section.
Check the connections of CD8V power supply.

5.4 Tracking section

When the disc is rotated at first:
Approx. 1.2V
Is the tracking error signal output at pin 6 of IC541?
NO
Check the pickup and its connections.
Replace IC541 or repair
YES
the malfunction connection point.
(No.MA247)1-17

5.5 Signal processing section

Is the sound output from both channels (L, R)?
NO
No sound from either channel.
NO
Compare the L-ch and R-ch to locate the defective point.

5.6 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: amplitude of eye pattern) will be low.
YES
Normal
YES
Is 9V present at pin 24 of IC161?
Is 9V present at pin 13 of IC901?
Check IC901 and its peripheral circuits.
NO
NO
Is the audio signal (including sampling
YES
output components) output to pins 1 and 7 of IC581 during playback?
NO
Check IC581 and its peripheral circuits.
Check the connections
YES
between pin 24 of IC161 and pin 13 of IC901.

5.7 Replacement of laser pickup

Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord.
Replace the pickup with a normal one. (Refer to "Removing the pickup unit" on the previous page.)
Is the audio signal output
YES
at pin 18 and pin 19 of IC161 during playback?
Check IC161 and its peripheral circuits.
Check the power amplifier IC301.
NO
YES
Is RF output
1.3 0.4Vp-p?
NO
Replace it.
YES
OK
(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 seconds and the objective lens moves up and down. Note: Do not observe the laser beam directly.
Play a disc.
Check the eye-pattern at
RF test point or
ARF test point.
Finish.
