1) The pick-up should always be left in its conductive bag until immediately prior to use.
2) The pick-up should never be subjected to external pressure or impact.
Storage in conductive bag
Drop impact
2. Repair notes
1) The pick-up incorporates a strong magnet, and so should never be brought close to magnetic materials.
2) The pick-up should always be handled correctly and carefully, taking care to avoid external pressure and
impact. If it is subjected to strong pressure or impact, the result may be an operational malfunction and/or
damage to the printed-circuit board.
3) Each and every pick-up is already individually adjusted to a high degree of precision, and for that reason
the adjustment point and installation screws should absolutely never be touched.
4) Laser beams may damage the eyes!
Absolutely never permit laser beams to enter the eyes!
Also NEVER switch ON the power to the laser output part (lens, etc.) of the pick-up if it is damaged.
NEVER look directly at the laser beam, and don’t allow
contact with fingers or other exposed skin.
5) Cleaning the lens surface
If there is dust on the lens surface, the dust should be cleaned away by using an air bush (such as used
for camera lens). The lens is held by a delicate spring. When cleaning the lens surface, therefore, a cotton swab should be used, taking care not to distort lens.

6) Never attempt to disassemble the pick-up.
Spring has excess pressure. If the lens is extremely dirty, apply isopropyl alcohol to the cotton swab.
(Do not use any other liquid cleaners, because they will damage the lens.) Take care not to use too much
of this alcohol on the swab, and do not allow the alcohol to get inside the pick-up.

NOTES REGARDING COMPACT DISC PLAYER REPAIRS
1. Preparations
1) Compact disc players incorporate a great many ICs as well as the pick-up (laser diode). These components
are sensitive to, and easily affected by, static electricity. If such static electricity is high voltage, components
can be damaged, and for that reason components should be handled with care.
2) The pick-up is composed of many optical components and other high-precision components. Care must be
taken, therefore, to avoid repair or storage where the temperature or humidity is high, where strong magnetism is present, or where there is excessive dust.
2. Notes for repair
1) Before replacing a component part, first disconnect the power supply lead wire from the unit
2) All equipment, measuring instruments and tools must be grounded.
3) The workbench should be covered with a conductive sheet and grounded.
When removing the laser pick-up from its conductive bag, do not place the pick-up on the bag. (This is
because there is the possibility of damage by static electricity.)
4) To prevent AC leakage, the metal part of the soldering iron should be grounded.
5) Workers should be grounded by an armband (1 M)
6) Care should be taken not to permit the laser pick-up to come in contact with clothing, in order to prevent
static electricity changes in the clothing to escape from the armband.
7) The laser beam from the pick-up should NEVER be directly facing the eyes or bare skin.

ESD PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components
commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated
circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should
be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off
any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a
commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons
prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface
such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD
devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before you are
ready to install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by
conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the
protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will by installed.
CAUTION : BE SURE NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHASSIS OR CIRCUIT, AND OBSERVE ALL OTHER
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion
such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate
static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).
CAUTION. GRAPHIC SYMBOLS

NO
NO
NO
A full screen movie played on a wide screen TV will have bars
on the left and right side of the TV. The customer needs to
make sure they choose the appropriate type of movie
they want to view.
If the aspect ratio is 1.33:1 then the movie is set up for full screen viewing.
Bars will appear on the left and right side of the screen if the TV is wide
screen. If the aspect ratio is 1.85:1 or 2.35:1, then there will be bars on
the top and bottom as that ratio is bigger than widescreen TVs (1.78:1).
Try changing the resolution to 480p. 720p, 1080i and
1080p resolution require a widescreen aspect ratio which
means bars will be placed on the left and right side for
full screen movies.
Make sure the aspect of the television is set appropriately.
If the aspect ratio of the television is set at 4:3 when the TV
is wide screen, then a wide screen movie will show up as
letterbox with bars on the top and bottom and bars on the sides.

any sort of adapter cable?
YES
Is the customer using
an HDMI or DVI cable?
NO
NO
NO
NO
Ask the customer to press stop to stop the disc from playing.
Ask the customer to press the resolution button to change the resolution.
The DVD HTS will not change resolutions while the disc is playing.
Discs with copy protection will not upconvert above 480p
when using component cables. The component output does not have
HDCP (highbandwidth digital content protection) compliancy
which causes the DVD HTS to switch from 720p or 1080i to 480p.
RGB to DVI or RGB to HDMI adapters will not upconvert.
RGB outputs and inputs are not HDCP compliant. If the customer
sees an error message about HDCP, this is the issue.
Copy protected discs will not upconvert
when HDCP is not found on the input or output.
Regular discs can convert to 1080p over the HDMI output and
only the HDMI output. The TV has to have HDCP compliancy on
the HDMI input. The display has to accept the resolution
(480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).
YES
Is the customer using an
HDMI to DVI cable?
YES
Has the customer tried
multiple discs?
NO
NO
Some movie companies will not allow their discs to upconvert
past 480p. If only one disc poses a problem, then the issue is the disc.
The customer will need to try multiple discs.
One disc not upconverting means the disc may not upconvert.
Some movie companies will not allow their discs to upconvert.
If multiple discs display the issue, remove the disc and change
the resolution with no disc in the unit.
If resolution will not change, the unit needs service.
