2. Precation of Laser Diode
3. Operating Instructions
4. Handling Precautions for Optical Magnetism Head
Unit
The laser diode in the optical magnetism head unit may break down due to potential difference
caused by static electricity of clothes or human body.
So, be careful of electrostatic breakdown during repair of the optical magnetism head unit.
4.1. Handling the optical magnetism head unit
1. The optical magnetism head unit is an extremely high-precision
construction and must not be subjected to impact, excessive
vibration, or other types of rough handling.
2. In order to prevent static electricity damage to the laser diode,
use a short pin or similar tool to short the optical pickup’s flexible
circuit boards after they have been disconnected from the main
circuit board. (as shown in Fig. 1 )
3. Handle the flexible circuit boards with care; excessive force could
cause them to be broken.
4. Do not turn the pre-set variable resistor (for adjustment of the
laser power); it has been adjusted at the factory.
(as shown in Fig. 2 )
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
4.2. Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
1. Human body grounding
Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity
from your body. (as shown in Fig. 3 )
2. Work table grounding
Put a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the area where
the optical magnetism head unit is placed, and ground the sheet.
(as shown in Fig. 4 )
Caution
The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded through
the wrist strap.
So, take care not to let your clothes touch the optical magnetism
head unit.

5. Operation Checks and Component Replacement
Procedures
- This section describes procedures for checking the operation of
the major printed circuit boards and replacing the main
components.
- For reassembly after operation checks or replacement, reverse the
respective procedures. Special reassembly procedures are
described only when required.
- After replacing the main components (optical pickup or traverse
motor, etc.) of mechanism unit block, change to the adjust mode,
and then perform the “ ROM/RAM auto-adjustment”.
5.1. Checking for the main P.C.B.
- Check the main P.C.B. (A side) as shown below.
5.2. Replacement for the intermediate cabinet
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step3) of item 5.1.
5.3. Replacement for the open knob
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step3) of item 5.1.
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step4) of item 5.2.
5.4. Replacement for the traverse motor
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step3) of item 5.1.
5.5. Replacement for the LCD
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step3) of item 5.1.
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step4) of item 5.2.
5.6. Replacement for the lift motor
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step3) of item 5.1.
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step4) of item 5.2.
- Follow the (Step1) of item 5.5.
5.7. Replacement for the optical pickup
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step3) of item 5.1.
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step4) of item 5.2.
- Follow the (Step1)-(Step5) of item 5.4.
- Follow the (Step1) of item 5.5.
6. Measurements and Adjsutments
Note:
After replacing the main components (optical pickup or traverse motor, etc.) of mechanism unit
block, change to the adjust mode, and then perform the “laser power adjustment”, “off-set autoadjustment” and “playback-onlydisc/magneto-optical disc auto-adjustment”.
6.1. Instruments to prepare
1. Playback-only disc (Test disc RFKV0006)
2. Commercially available recordable disc (fully recorded with
music) (magneto-optical disc)
3. Laser power meter (LE8010 or compatible meter)
4. Remote controller (part No. N2QCBD000012 or N2QCBD000002, is
attached to SJ-MJ75 (SJ-MJ75 is GH area only.))
Note:
For use of MD cartridge type laser power meter, remove the intermediate cabinet before
perform the laser power adjustment (as for the method of disassembly, refer to “5. Operation
checks and main component replacement procedures”.).
6.2. Laser power adjustment, Off-set automatic adjustment and
Playback-only disc/magneto-optical disc auto- adjustment
6.2.1. Enter the adjustment mode
1. Set the battery and connect the remote controller.
2. Turn off the power, and switch main unit’s HOLD switch off.
3. Press the buttons of the remote controller in order from 1 to 4 (as
shown in Fig. 5 ).
Fig. 5
4. When the adjustment mode is activated, “T0E**” will be displayed
on the LCD of remote controller and unit. After “T0E**” is
displayed, select the desired adjustment itemwith the button
or button of the remote controller. (If it is not displayed,
perform the procedures written above again.)
*In the display of T0E** ~ TFE** shown above, you must adjust T0E**, T1E**, T2E** and T3E**.
You must perform the adjustment byobserving the order T0E** T1E** T2E** T3E**.
6.2.2. Laser Power Adjustment
Adjust each laser power: read power for reading (play) and write power for writing (record).
6.2.2.1. Set the Unit to the Adjustment Mode
Cautions
About handling the optical pickup and the magnetic head.
- The optical pickup and the magnetic head are structured precisely;
therefore, they are very fragile. Be careful not to touch them with
the edge of the laser power meter. Do not touch the lens.
- The sensor of the laser power meter is a very fine part. Be careful
not to touch it to the optical pickup lens.
- Do not loosen or remove the magnetic head installing screw.
- The focus point of the laser reaches to 356°F. Therefore, avoid
adjusting using laser power for a long time because the sensor of
the laser power meter may be burned.
- Do not allow the write power to even momentarily reach or exceed
6mW. Doing so will result in damage to the optical pickup.
- Do not set the unit to the laser power adjustment mode with the
MD loaded. Doing so may result in damage to the MD.
- Laser diode in the optical pickup may be destroyed by the
staticelectricity generated in your clothes or body. Be especially
careful with the static electricity.
6.2.2.2. Adjustment Procedure
1. Have “T0E** ” indicated on display, and move the optical pickup
to the most inside (only when a MD cartridge type laser power
meter is used).
2. Set the laser power meter.
[For use of stick type laser power meter.]
2-1 Uncover the laser power meter. (as shown in Fig. 6 )
2-2 Locate the sensor of the laser power meter right over above
the optical pickup (horizontally at a level of the disc position). (as
shown in Fig. 7 )
[For use of MD cartridge type laser power meter.]
2-1 Set the laser power meter and close the disc cover, fix it with
tape as not to open. (as shown in Fig. 8 )

3. Press the PLAY key of the remote controller (“T0E** ” changes to
“LD ” of the LCD).
4. Press the key of the remote controller (“LD ” changes to “LP ”
of the LCD).
