Precautions for Laser Diode Emission Check

When checking the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never view directly downwards as this may lead to blindness.

Precautions for Using Optical Pick-up (KMS-280A)

As the laser diode inside the optical pick-up damages by static electricity easily, solder the laser tap of the Optical pick-up flexible board when handling. Also take the necessary measures to prevent damages by static electricity. Handle the Optical pickup flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

This MiniDisc player is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT label is located on the bottom exterior.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, OR LOSSES OR EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT OR THE USE OF ANY PRODUCT.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

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.

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.

SERVICING NOTE

1) When repairing this device with the power on, if you remove the main board or open the upper panel assy, this device stops working. In this case, you can work without the device stopping by fastening the hook of the OPEN1 switch (S801) with tape.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC

2-1. GENERAL

This set uses the self-diagnostic system in which if an error occurs in playback/recording mode, the error is detected by the model control and power control blocks of the microprocessor and information on the cause is stored as history in EEPROM. By viewing this history in test mode, it helps you to analyze a fault and determine its location.

2-2. TEST MODE SETTING

There are two different methods to set the test mode: 1 Short BP801 (TEST) on the main board with a solder bridge

(connect pin @§ of IC801 to the ground). Then, turn on the power.

2-4. RELEASING THE TEST MODE

For test mode set with the method 1: Turn off the power and open the solder bridge on BP801 on the main board. For test mode set with the method 2: Turn off the power.

2-5. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE

1. Go into the test mode.

2. With the unit LCD indicators all flashing, press DISPLA Y key

to go into the self-diagnostic mode.

TEST MODE

4-1. GENERAL

This set provides the Overall adjustment mode (Assy mode) that allows CD and MO disk to be automatically adjusted when in the test mode. In this Assy mode, the system discriminates between CD and MO disk and then automatically perform adjustments for them in sequence. If a fault is found, the system displays its location. Also, the Serv o mode allows each indi vidual adjustment to be automatically adjusted.

ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS

PRECAUTIONS FOR ADJUSTMENT

1) Perform all adjustments in the order given in the test mode. After adjusting, exit the test mode.

2) Use the following tools and measuring instruments.

• Test CD TDYS-1

(Part No. : 4-963-646-01)

• SONY MO disc available on the market

• Laser power meter LPM-8001

(Part No. : J-2501-046-A)

• Oscilloscope (Frequency band above 40 MHz. Perform the

calibration of probe first before measuring.)

• Digital voltmeter

3) Unless specified othewise, supply DC 4.5V from the DC IN 4.5V jack.

4) Swtich, knob positions

Adjustment Method :

1. Set the servo mode of the test mode (Mode : 000).

2. Press the ( key , and set the MO test adjustment mode (Mode : 030) using the VOLUME + or – key .

3. Press the = or + key and move the optical pick-up to the center circumference.

4. Insert any MO disk available on the market.

5. When the ( key is pressed, the MO read EF balance adjustment mode (Mode : 032) will be set after MO focus search adjustment mode (Mode : 031).

6. Press the P key to perform automatic adjustment, and check that the traverse waveform is symmetrical at the top and bottom.

7. Slide the REC key and set the MO write EF balance adjust ment mode (Mode : 034).

8. Press the P key to perform automatic adjustment, and check that the traverse waveform is symmetrical at the top and bottom.

MAIN board

AP5117 (VCC)

AP574 (LDI0)

Adjustment Method :

1. Set the servo mode of the test mode (Mode : 000).

2. Press the ( key, and set the laser power adjustment mode (Mode : 020) using the VOLUME + or – key .

3. Press the = key and move the optical pick-up to the inner most circumference.

4. Open the cover and set the laser power meter on the objective lens of the optical pick-up.

5. Press the ( key, and set the laser CD/MO read adjustment mode (Mode : 021).

6. Check that the laser power meter reading is 0.85 ± 0.085 mW.

7. Check that the voltage between AP5117 (VCC) and AP574 (LDI0) at this time is below 40 mV.

8. Press the ( key, and set the laser MO write adjustment mode (Mode : 022).

9. Check that the laser power meter reading is 6.8 ± 0.68 mW.

10. Press the P key to finalize the adjustment data.

11. Check that the voltage between AP5117 (VCC) and AP574 (LDI0) at this time is below 80 mV.

12. Press the p key.

13. Exit the test mode.

0 V

Specification : A = B, C 1.0 Vp-p

9. Check that the traverse level at this time is above 1.0 Vp-p.

10. Press the p key.

11. Exit the test mode.

Note) Using a recorded disk in this adjustment will erase the data.
