1 SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY INFORMATION
This product has been designed and manufactured according to FDA regulations “title 21, CFR, chapter 1, subchapter J based
on the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1986” and is classified as class 1 laser product. There is no hazardous
invisible laser radiation during operation because invisible laser radiation emitted inside of this product is completely confined in
the protective housings. The label required in this regulation is shown below.
● CAUTION
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HERE
IN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

3-3-1 ADJUSTMENT
● Set all of the adjustment volumes to the center position.
● Use an oscilloscope that has a bandwidth greater than 40MHz.
● Use MCD-111 test disc.
A. EF balance adjustment
1. Connect the probe to P1 or J126(TE) and the probe ground to P2 or J154(VC).
2. In the search mode,and adjust VR101 so that the upper and lower.
amplitudes of the waveform become equal above and below 0V.
B. RF level adjustment
1. Connect the probe to P3 or J143(RF) and the probe ground to P2 or J154(VC).
2. In the play mode,and adjust VR102 so that the waveform on the oscilloscope
becomes maximum.
