Notes on Chip Component Replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
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 pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
NOTES ON PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD
The pick-up flexible board in this set is secured to the optical pickup with an adhesive tape. Once the tape is removed, an adhering
force becomes weak, and it cannot be reused.
Therefore, if the optical pick-up is replaced, replace also the pickup flexible board with a new one.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
(KMS-241C/J1N)
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
break-down easily. When handling it, perform soldering bridge to
the laser-tap on the flexible board. Also perform measures against
electrostatic break-down sufficiently before the operation. The
flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care.

SERVICE NOTE
1-1. TO PLACE THE SET INTO PLAYBACK MODE
The this set has no key control function and cannot be placed into
the Playback mode alone.
For key control, the this set is controlled through serial
communication with a master unit (car audio player, TV tuner or
source selector compatible with the Sony BUS system.)
T o service the this set, the set should be connected as given below:

1-2. HOW TO CHECK THE SERVO BOARD
WAVEFORMS
1. Remove the panel (rear) assy, case (upper) and panel (front) assy .
Then, remove the main board from the mechanism deck. (See
page 8 of “SECTION 3. DISASSEMBLY”.)
2. Remove the chassis (OP) block from the mechanism deck. (See
page 9 of “SECTION 3. DISASSEMBLY”.)
3. Short each bridge points BP1 and BP2 on the main board by
solder bridge.
– main board (conductor side) –
BP1
BP2
4. Connect the power board with the main board by the main
flexible board. Connect the main board with the servo board by
the servo flexible board.
5. Connect to a master unit. With the master unit OFF, press the
preset buttons 4 t 5 t 1 (2 seconds or more each) in this
turn to enter the TEST mode.
6. Open the doors and insert a disc in the chassis (OP) assy. Use the
SOURCE button on the master unit to select to MD to
playback.
7. Check the waveforms at each point on the servo board.
Note: After this check is completed, remove solder between shorted
bridge points BP1 and BP2 and open these points.
