Warnings And Laser Safety Instructions
2. Warnings And Laser Safety Instructions
GB
WARNING
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce
life drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the
mass of the set via a wrist wrap with
resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.
F
ATTENTION
D
WARNUNG
GB 3DVD733K /691/781 2.
NL
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor elektrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie
kan de levensduur drastisch doen
verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
I
WAARSCHUWING
AVVERTIMENTO
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semiconducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges
statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution
n’est prise a leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être
relié au même potentiel que la masse de
l’appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d’une
résistance de sécurité.
Veiller a ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également a ce
potentiel.
Alle IC und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegen elektrostatische
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung bei der Reparatur
kann die Lebensdauer drastisch vermindern.
Sorgen sie dafür, das Sie im Reparaturfall
über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand mit
dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden
sind.
Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls
auf diesem Potential.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition
and that parts which are identical with those specified be used.
NL
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkelijke
toestand wordt terug gebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de
gespecifieerde worden toegepast.
F
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis a l’état d’origine et
que soient utilisées les pièces de rechange identiques à celles spécifiées.
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevita potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della piu
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello
della massa dell’apparecchio tramite un
braccialetto a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli
utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a
questo potenziale.
D
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu beachten.
Der Originalzustand des Gerats darf nicht verandert werden.
Fur Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.
I
Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso nelle
condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati pezzi di ricambiago idetici a quelli
specificati.
SHOCK, FIRE HAZARD SERVICE TEST:
CAUTION: After servicing this appliance and prior to returning to customer, measure the resistance between
either primary AC cord connector pins (with unit NOT connected to AC mains and its Power switch ON), and the
face or Front Panel of product and controls and chassis bottom,
Any resistance measurement less than 1 Megohms should cause unit to be repaired or corrected before AC
power is applied, and verified before return to user/customer.
Ref.UL Standard NO.1492.
NOTE ON SAFETY:
Symbol
: Fire or electrical shock hazard. Only original parts should be used to replace any part with symbol
Any other component substitution(other than original type), may increase risk or fire or electrical shock hazard.

Warnings And Laser Safety Instructions
LASER SAFETY
This unit employs a laser. Only a qualified service person should remove the cover or attempt to service this
device, due to possible eye injury.
LASER DEVICE UNIT
Type: Semiconductor laser GaAlAs
Wave length: 650 nm (DVD)
780 nm (VCD/CD)
Output Power: 7 mW (DVD)
10 mW (VCD/CD)
Beam divergence: 60 degree
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURE OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM
WARNING
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
Repair handling should take place as much as possible with a disc loaded inside the player

Warning for powersupply on position 1005
The primary side of the powersupply including the heatsink carries live mains voltage when the
player is connected to the mains even when the player is swiched off !
This primary area is not shielded so it is possible to touch copper tracks and/or components when
servicing the player. Service personnel have to take precautions to prevent touching this area or
components in this area .
The primary side of the powersupply has been indicated with a lightning stroke and a stripe-marked
printed on the printed wiring board

Warnings And Laser Safety Instructions
2.1 Notes
2.1.1 DVD-Module
For repair of the DVD-module SD3, the service manual 3122
785 11010 has to be used.
2.1.2 ComPair
For assistance with the repair process of the monoboard an
electronic Fault finding guidance has been developed , this
program is called ComPair.
This ComPair program is available on CDROM.
The Version of the CDROM for repair of the monoboard is
V1.3 or higher and can be ordered with codenumber : 4822
727 21637.
This is an update CDROM , so when the COMPAIR CDROM
is used for the first time , one has to install the ComPair
ENGINE CDROM V1.2 first.
The V1.2 CDROM can be ordered with codenumber 4822
727 634 and has to registered after installation , the
procedure for registration is explained in the help file of the
program and in the booklet from the CDROM.
The cable to connect the monoboard with a PC can be
ordered with codenumber 3122 785 90017.
All the hardware and software requirements of the systems
necessary for working with ComPair is described on the
CDROM.
