This service manual describes the operation of the CD mechanism module incorporated
in models listed in the table below.
When performing repairs use this manual together with the specific manual for model
under repair.
The recent mainstay of the CD LSI is the LSI integrating the core DSP with DAC or RF amplifier, which are generally
employed as peripheral circuits, however, PE5547A, used in this product, is an LSI integrating the afore-mentioned
LSI unit and microcomputer unit in one chip.

1.1 PREAMPLIFIER BLOCK
In the preamplifier block, the pickup output signals are processed to generate signals that are used in the subsequent
A
blocks: servo, demodulator, and control blocks. Signals from the pickup are I/V converted in the pickup with the
preamplifier with built-in photo detectors, and after added with the RF amplifier, they are used to produce such signals as
RF, FE, TE, and TE zero-cross signals. The preamplifier block is built in CD LSI PE5547A (IC201), whose parts are
described individually below. Incidentally, as this LSI employs a single power supply (+ 3.3 V) specification, the reference
voltages of this LSI and the pickup are the REFO (1.65 V) for both. The REFO is an output obtained from REFOUT in the
LSI via the buffer amplifier, and is output from the pin 133 of this LSI. All measurements will be performed with this REFO
as the reference.
Caution: Be careful not to short-circuit the REFO and GND when measuring.
1.1.1 APC (Automatic Power Control) circuit
B
Since laser diodes have extremely negative temperature characteristics in optical output when driven in constant current,
it is necessary to control the current with the monitor diodes in order to keep the output constant. This is the feature of the
APC circuit. The LD current is obtained by measuring the voltage between LD1 and V3R3, and divide the value by 7.5
(ohms), which becomes about 30 mA. The voltage between LD1 and V3R3 is set to about 225 mV.

1.1.2 RF and RFAGC amplifiers
The output from the photo-detector (A + C) and (B + D) is provided from the RFO terminal as the RF signal (which can be
used for eye-pattern check), after it is added, amplified, and equalized inside this LSI. The low frequency component of the
voltage RFO is calculated as below.
RFO = (A + B + C + D) x 2
The RFO is used for the FOK generation circuit and RF offset adjustment circuit.
The RFO signal, output from the pin 122, is A/C-coupled externally, input to the pin 121, and amplified in the RFAGC
amplifier to obtain the RFAGC signal.
Also, this LSI is equipped with the RFAGC auto-adjustment function, explained below, which switches feedback gains of
the RFAGC amplifier so that the RFO output will be 1.5 V.
This RFO signal is also used for the EFM, DFCT, MIRR, and RFAGC auto-adjustment circuits.

1.1.3 Focus error amplifier
The photo-detector outputs (A + C) and (B + D) are passed through the differential amplifier and the error amplifier, and (A
+ C - B - D) is provided from the pin 135 as the FE signal. The low frequency component of the voltage FE is calculated as
A
below.
FE = (A + C - B - D) x 8.8k / 10k x 111k / 61k x 160k / 72k
= (A + C - B - D) x 3.5
For the FE outputs, an S-shaped curve of 1.5 Vp-p is obtained with the REFO as the reference. The cutoff frequency for
the subsequent stage amplifiers is 14.6 kHz.
1.1.4 RFOK circuit
This circuit generates the RFOK signal, which indicates the timing to close the focus loop and focus-close status during
the play mode, from the pin 70. As for the signal, "H" is output in closing the focus loop and during the play mode.
Additionally, the RFOK becomes "H" even in a non-pit area, since the DC level of the RFO signal is peak-held in the
B
subsequent digital block and compared at a certain threshold level to generate the RFOK signal. Therefore, the focus is
closed even on a mirror-surface area of a disc. This signal is also supplied to the microcomputer via the low-pass filer as
the FOK signal, which is used for protection and gain switching of the RF amplifier.
1.1.5 Tracking error amplifier
The photo-detector outputs E and F are passed through the differential amplifier and the error amplifier to obtain (E - F),
and then provided from the pin 138 as the TE signal. The low frequency component of the voltage TE is calculated as
below.
TEO = (E - F) x 63k / 112k x 160k / 160k x 181k / 45.4k x 160k / 80k
C
= (E - F) x 4.48
For the TE output, TE waveform of about 1.3 Vp-p with the REFO as the reference. The cutoff frequency in the subsequent
is 21.1 kHz.

1.1.6 Tracking zero-cross amplifier
The tracking zero-cross signal (hereinafter referred to as TEC signal) is obtained by amplifying the TE signal by fourfold,
and used to detect the tracking-error zero-cross point. As the purpose of detecting the zero-cross point, the following two
points can be named:
1. To use for track-counting in the carriage move and track jump modes
2. To use for detecting the direction in which the lens moves in tracking close. (Used in the tracking brake circuit to be
explained later.)
The frequency range of the TEC signal is from 300 Hz to 20 kHz, and
TEC voltage = TE level x 4
The TEC level can be calculated at 4.62 V, which, at this level, exceeds the D range of the operational amplifier, and clips
the signal, but, because the CD LSI only uses the signal at the zero-cross point, it poses no particular problem.
A
1.1.7 EFM circuit
The EFM circuit converts the RF signal into digital signals of 0 and 1. The AGCO signal output from the pin 119 is
A/C-coupled externally, input to the pin 118, and supplied to the EFM circuit.
Missing RF signal due to scratches and stains on the disc, and asymmetry of the upper and lower parts of the RF, caused
by variation in disc production, cannot be entirely eliminated in AC coupling process, the reference voltage ASY of the
EFM comparator is controlled, using the probability that 0 and 1 occur at 50%. Thus, the comparator level will always stay
around the center of the RFO signal. This reference voltage ASY is generated by passing the EFM comparator output
through the low-pass filter. The EFM signal is output from the pin 113.

1.2 SERVO BLOCK (PE5547A: IC201)
The servo block performs servo control such as error signal equalizing, in-focus, track jump and carriage move. The DSP
A
block is the signal-processing unit, where data decoding, error correction, and compensation are performed. The FE and
TE signals, generated in the preamplifier stage, are A/D-converted, and output drive signals for the focus, tracking, and
carriage systems via the servo block. Also, the EFM signal is decoded in the signal-processing unit, and ends up in
outputting D/A-converted audio signals through the D/A converter. Furthermore, in this decoding process, the spindle
servo error signal is generated, supplied to the spindle servo block, and used to output the spindle drive signal.
Each drive signal for focus, tracking, carriage, and spindle servos (FD, TD, SD, and MD) are output as PWM3 data, and
then converted to analog data through the LPF. These drive signals, after changed to analog form, can be monitored with
the FIN, TIN, CIN, and SIN signals, respectively. Subsequently, the signals are amplified and supplied to the actuator and
motor for each signal.
B
1.2.1 Focus servo system
The main equalizer of the focus servo consists of the digital equalizer block. The figure 1.2.1 shows the block diagram of
the focus servo system.
In the focus servo system, it is necessary to move the lens within the in-focus range in order to close the focus loop. For
that purpose, the in-focus point is looked for by moving the lens up and down with the focus search voltage of triangular
signal. During this time, the rotation of the spindle motor is retained at a certain set speed by kicking the spindle motor.
The servo LSI monitors the FE and RFOK signals and automatically performs the focus-close operations at an appropriate
timing. The focus-close operation is performed when the following three conditions are satisfied at the same time:
1) The lens moves toward the disc surface.
C
2) RFOK = "H"
3) The FE signal is zero-crossed.
Consequently, the FE converges to "0" (= REFO).
When the above-mentioned conditions are met and the focus loop is closed, the FSS bit is shifted from "H" to "L," and
then, in 10 ms, the CPU of the LSI starts monitoring the RFOK signal obtained through the low-pass filter.
If the RFOK signal is determined to be "L," the CPU of the LSI takes several actions including protection.
Fig.1.2.2 shows a series of actions concerning the focus close operations. (It shows a case where the focus loop cannot
be closed.)
With the focus mode selector displaying 01 in the test mode, pressing the focus close button, allows to check the
S-shaped curve, search voltage, and actual lens behavior.
