NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down because of the potential difference generated
by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human
body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down 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 objective lens.
Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged 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.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on
the rear exterior.
Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation
exceeding the limit for Class 1.
The following caution label is located inside the unit.

LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers.).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT -540A. Follo w the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter . The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V A C range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

Note 1: In cleaning the lens, do not apply an excessive force.
As the optical pick-up is vulnerable, application of
excessive force could damage the lens holder.
Note 2: In cleaning, do not use a cleaner other than exclusive cleaning

Therefore, operating in the recording laser emission mode and
pressing the REC/CD-MD SYNC button, the recorded contents will be erased regardless of the position of the tab. When
using a disc that is not to be erased in the test mode, be careful
not to enter the continuous recording mode and traverse adjustment mode.
But “CREC MODE”, “EF MO CHECK” and “EF MO ADJUST” is detect the erasing-protection tab and recording laser
power off.
2. Using MD slot is “DISC 1” only.

2. Place the MD in “NO DISC” status (No disc present in stocker
and inside of set)
3. Press DBFB button, DIMMER button, and MD6 button simultaneously to activate the Test mode.
When the Test mode is activated. “TEMP ADJUST” is displayed on fluorescent indicator tube.
4-3. LO ADING/UNLOADING A DISC IN TEST MODE
1. In the Test mode, use the slot 1 only. (Do not load a disc in
other slots.)
2. When a disc is loaded in slot 1, in several seconds it will be
automatically pulled in.
3. To unload a disc, press MD6 button .
4. To load a disc again, press MD6 button .
5. In the Test mode, MD1, 2, 3 LEDs do not light regardless of
whether a disc is present or not.
4-6. SELECTING THE TEST MODE
T wenty six test modes are selected by turn the MULTI JOG dial.

1. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECKING LASER DIODE EMISSION
T o check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, nev er
view directly from the top as this may lose your eyesight.
2. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF OPTICAL
PICK-UP (KMS-260A)
As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by
static electricity, solder the laser tap of the flexible board when
using it.
Before disconnecting the connector, desolder first. Before connecting the connector, be careful not to remove the solder. Also
tale adequate measures to prevent damage by static electricity.
Handle the flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

4. CREATING MO CONTINUOUSLY RECORDED
DISC
* This disc is used in focus bias adjustment and error rate check.
The following describes how to create a MO continuous recording disc.
1. Insert a MO disc (blank disc) commercially available to MD
slot 1.
2. Turn the MULTI JOG dial and display “CREC MODE”.
3. Press the ENTER/YES button and display “CREC MID”.
“CREC (0300)” is displayed for a moment and recording starts.
4. Complete recording within 5 minutes.
5. Press the EDIT/NO button and stop recording.
6. Press the MD6 button and remove the MO disc.
The above has been how to create a continuous recording data for
the focus bias adjustment and error rate check.
Note: Be careful not to apply vibration during continuous recording.
