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
Never look into the laser diode emission from right avove when
checking it for adustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
(KMS-241B/J1NP).
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 m easures
against electrostatic break-down suff iciently before the operation.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

OPTICAL PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD
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.

Cautions during repair
When the tuner unit is defective, replace it by a new one because its internal block is difficult to repair.
Note:
Adjust the tuner section in the sequence shown below.
1. FM Auto Scan/Stop Level Adjustment.
2. FM Stereo Separation Adjustmnet.
3. AM (MW) Auto Scan/Stop Level Adjustment.
4. RDS S-Meter Adjustment. (MDX-C5960R/5970R)
FM Auto Scan/Stop Level Adjustment
Setting:
