• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C during repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

About CD-Rs/CD-RWs
This CD player can play CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the CD-D A
format*, but playback capability may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Dig ital Audio. It is
a recording standard used for the Audio CDs.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of the potential difference generated by
the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body .
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused
on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objecti ve lens.
BEFORE REPLACING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
Please be sure to check thoroughly the parameters as par the “Optical Pick-Up Block Checking Procedures” (Part No.: 9-960-027-
11) issued separately before replacing the optical pick-up block.
Note and specifications required to check are given below.
• FOK output: IC601 yg pin
When checking FOK, remove the lead wire to disc motor.
• RF signal P-to-P value: 0.4 to 0.6 Vp-p
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
During normal operation of the equipment, emission of the laser
diode is prohibited unless the upper lid is closed while turning ON
the S804. (push switch type)
The following checking method for the laser diode is operable.
• Method:
Emission of the laser diode is visually checked.
1. Open the upper lid.
2. With a disc not set, turn on the S801 with a screwdri ver having
a thin tip as shown in Fig.1.
3. Press the
4. Observing the objective lens, check that the laser diode emits
light.
When the laser diode does not emit light, automatic power
control circuit or optical pickup is faulty.
In this operation, the objective lens will move up and down 4
times along with inward motion for the focus search.

5-4.NOTE FOR PRINTED WIRING BOARDS AND SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
Note on Printed Wiring Board
• X : parts extracted from the component side.
• Y : parts extracted from the conductor side.
z
•
•: Pattern from the side which enables seeing.
(The other layers' patterns are not indicated.)
Caution:
Pattern face side:Parts on the pattern face side seen from
(Conductor Side)the pattern face are indicated.
Parts face side:Parts on the parts face side seen from
(Component Side) the parts face are indicated.
• MAIN board is multi-layer printed board. Howev er , the patterns
: Through hole.
of intermediate-layer have not been included in the diagram.
Note on Schematic Diagram:
• All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted. pF: µµF
50 WV or less are not indicated except for electrolytics
and tantalums.
• All resistors are in Ω and 1/
specified.
•%: indicates tolerance.
• C : panel designation.
Note: The components identified by mark 0 or dotted line
with mark 0 are critical for safety.
Replace only with part number specified.
• A : B+ Line.
• Pow er voltage is dc 4.5 V and fed with regulated dc power
supply from DC IN jack (J401).
• V oltages and wa vef orms are dc with respect to ground in
no-signal conditions.
no mark : CD PLAY
• V oltages are taken with a VOM (Input impedance 10 MΩ).
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.
• Waveforms are taken with a oscilloscope.
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.
