Safety Precautions
1. This design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components specially
for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design
unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those
used in the original circuits. Services should be performed by qualified personnel only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design alterations of
the product should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer`s
warranty and will further relieve the manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or proper ty
damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical par ts in the products have special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded
by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage,
wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in
the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by
shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the Parts List in the Service Manual. The use of a
substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended
replacement parts shown in the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other
hazards.
4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and the
like to be separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges
for the prevention of electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the or iginal lead
routing and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed that they have been returned
to normal, after re-assembling.
5. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts
of the product (antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control
shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure
the leakage current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet , particularly any exposed
metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage
current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.)
Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000 ohms
per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 10W resistor paralleled by
a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor between an exposed
metal part and a known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the
AC voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to eachexposed metal
part, par ticularly any exposed metal part having a
return path to the chassis, and meausre the AC
voltage across the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in
the AC outlet and repeat each measurement. voltage
measured Any must not exceed 0.75 V AC (r.m.s.).
This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).

Warning
1. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards.
2. It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that these safety standards are maintained.
3. Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant safety standards.
4. It is essential that safety critical components are replaced by approved parts.
5. If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local voltage.
CAUTION
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.
UX-A70MD
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.
1.1. 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.
1.1.1. Ground the workbench
1. 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.
1.1.2. Ground yourself
1. Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(caption)
Anti-static wrist strap
Conductive material
(conductive sheet) or iron plate
1.1.3. Handling the optical pickup
1. 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.)
2. 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.
1.2. 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

Maintenance of laser pickup
(1) Cleaning the pick up lens
Befor you replace the pick up, please try to
clean the lens with a alcohol soaked cotton
swab.
(2) Life of the laser diode (Fig.1)
When the life of the laser diode has expired,
the following symptoms wil appear.
(1) The level of RF output (EFM output:ampli
tude of eye pattern) will below.
Is RF output
1.1 0.15Vp-p?
YES
O.K
NO
Replace it.
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)
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.
(Fig.1)
(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.
Check the eye-pattern at TP1.

Maintenance of MD pickup
1. Cleaning of pickup lens
(1) Prior to changing the pickup, clean the pickup lens.
(2) For cleaning the lens, use the following cotton swab after
mearsing it in alcohol.
2. Confirmation of the service life of laser
diode when the service life of the laser
diode has been exhausted, the following
symptoms will appear.
(1) Recording will become impossible.
(2) The RF output (EFM output and eye pattern amplitude)
will become lower.
(3) The drive current required for light emitting of laser diode
will be increased.
Confirm the service life according to the following flow chart:
Procedures of changing
the MD pickup
Change the MD pickup by referring
to "Removing the MD pickup" in the
Disassembly Method.
Set the pickup to [TEST] mode according
to the procedures described in the
Adjustment Method.
Adjust the laser power.
Completion the disc.
Is the recording power
(6.23mV) output with the
laser power under
test mode?
YES
Is the drive current
of laser diode
120mA or less?
YES
NO
Change the pickup
NO
Change the pickup
OK.
3. Method of measuring the drive current of
laser diode
When the voltage measured at TP ILCC (Q301 emitter)
and +5V (Q303 emitter) of the MD servo P.C. board
(ENX-0223) have become 600mV or over, the service life
of the laser diode is judged to have been exhausted.
[Caution] When TP ILCC (Q301 collector) and
+5V (Q303 emitter have been is short
circuit on such an occasion, then the
laser diode will be broken. Therefore,
take utmost care in handling the MD
pickup.
Completion of changing the MD pickup.
Since this system is designed to perform magnetic
recording, the laser power ten times or over of the
conventional MD player will be output. Therefore, be
sure to perform not only adjustment and operation
of this system so carefully as not to directly look at the
laser beam or touch on the body.
4. Semi-solid state resistors on
the APC P.C. board
The semi-solid state resistor on the APC P.C.board
attached to the pickup is used for adjusting the laser
power. Since these resistor should be adjusted in
pair according to the characteristics of the optical
block, be sure not to touch on the resistors.
Since the service life of the laser diode will be
exhausted when the laser power is low, it is
necessary to change the pickup. Meanwhile, do not
pickup. Otherwise, the pickup will be damaged due
to over current.
