2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance
have special safety related characteristics. These are
often not evident from visual inspection nor the
protection afforded by them necessarily can be obtained
by using replacement components rated for voltage,
wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these
special safety characteristics are identified in this
Service Manual.
Electrical components having such features are
identified by marking with a on the schematics and
on the parts list in this Service Manual.
The use of a substitute replacement component which
does not have the same safety characteristics as the
PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the
parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire,
or other hazards.
Product Safety is continuously under review and new
instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest
information, always consult the current PIONEER
Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies
of, PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the
continued protection of the customer and service
technician.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Measure leakage current to a known earth ground
(water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage
current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or
equivalent between the earth ground and all exposed
metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals,
screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug
the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V
AC 60 Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.

LASER DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
FOR DVD : MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 5 mW
WAVELENGTH : 650 nm
FOR CD : MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 7 mW
WAVELENGTH : 780 nm
∗ : See page 160, 161, 164, 165.
1. Laser Interlock Mechanism
The position of the switch (S4400,S4500) for detecting loading
completion is detected by the system microprocessor, and the
design prevents laser diode oscillation when the switch is not
in LPS1 terminal side (when the mechanism is not clamped
and LPS1 signal is high level.)
Thus, the interlock will no longer function if the switch is
deliberately set to LPS1 terminal side. (if LPS1 signal is low
level ).
In the SERVICE MODE∗ the interlock mechanism will not
function.
Laser diode oscillation will continue, if pin 3 (pin 5) of
AN22022A (IC102, IC902) on the SRV1,SRV2 Assy is
connected to GND, or else the terminals of Q102
(Q103), Q902(Q903) are shorted to each other (fault
condition).
2. When the cover is opened, close viewing of the objective lens
with the naked eye will cause exposure to a Class 1 laser
beam.
WARNING !
THE AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMISSION LEVEL) OF THE LASER POWER OUTPUT IS LESS THAN CLASS 1
BUT THE LASER COMPONENT IS CAPABLE OF EMITTING RADIATION EXCEEDING THE LIMIT FOR
CLASS 1.
A SPECIALLY INSTRUCTED PERSON SHOULD DO SERVICING OPERATION OF THE APPARATUS.

• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:
• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.
