The special jig (J-2501-149-A) is useful for checking the waveform of the BD (MD) board. The names of terminals and the checking items
to be performed are shown as follows.

GND : Ground
I+3V : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser)
IOP : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser)
TEO : Tracking error signal (Traverse adjustment)
VC

: Reference level for checking the signal

RF

About “R”
As this unit has only a few buttons, some operations require the use of remote commander (RM-SF3MD/provided with unit: 1-476-068-11)
buttons. These operations are indicated as “R” in this manual.
Example:

MENU/NO “R”

...Press the 

[MENU/NO]

 button of the remote commander.

The IOP value labeled on the optical pick-up can be recorded in the non-volatile memory. By recording the value, it will eliminate the need
to look at the value on the label of the optical pick-up. When replacing the optical pick-up or non-volatile memory (IC171 on the BD (MD)
board), record the IOP value on the optical pick-up according to the following procedure.

Record Procedure:
1. Press the

I/1

button to turn the power on.

2. Press the 

[FUNCTION]

 button to set the MD function.

3. While pressing the

s

(MD) and

z

REC

buttons, press the

I/1

button to enter the MD test mode and display “[Check]”.

4. Press the

l

 

m

or

M

 

L

button to display “[Service]”, and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

5. Press the

l

 

m

or

M

 

L

button to display “Iop Write”, and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

6. The display becomes “Ref=@@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number) and the numbers which can be changed will blink.
7. Input the IOP value written on the optical pick-up.

To select the number : Press the

l

 

m

or

M

 

L

button.

To select the digit

: Press the 

[SYNC REC]

 button.

8. When the

ENTER/YES “R”

button is pressed, the display becomes “Measu=@@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number).

9. As the adjustment results are recorded for the step7 value. Leave it as it is and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

10. “Complete!” will be displayed momentarily. The value will be recorded in the non-volatile memory and the display will become “Iop

Write”.

11. Press the 

[REPEAT]

 button to complete. “Standby” will be displayed.

Display Procedure:
1. Press the

I/1

button to turn the power on.

2. Press the 

[FUNCTION]

 button to set the MD function.

3. While pressing the

s

(MD) and

z

REC

buttons, press the

I/1

button to enter the MD test mode and display “[Check]”.

4. Press the

l

 

m

or

M

 

L

button to display “[Service]”, and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

5. Press the

l

 

m

or

M

 

L

button to display “Iop Read”, and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

6. “@@.@/##.#” is displayed and the recorded contents are displayed.

@@.@ : indicates the Iop value labeled on the pick-up.
##.#

: indicates the Iop value after adjustment

7. To release, press the 

[CD-MD SYNC]

 button or

MENU/NO “R”

button to display “Iop Read”. Then press the 

[REPEAT]

 button to

display “Standby”.

Before performing repairs, perform the following checks to determine the faulty locations up to a certain extent.
Details of the procedures are described in “5 Electrical Adjustments”.

• 0.9 mW power

Specified value : 0.84 to 0.92 mW

• 7.0 mW power

Specified value : 6.8 to 7.2 mW

lop (at 7mW)

• Labeled on the optical pickup

Iop value ± 10mA

• Traverse waveform

Specified value : Below 10% offset

• Error rate check

Specified value : For points A, B
C1 error : About 200
AD error : Below 2
For point C
C1 error : Below 50
AD error : Below 2

• Error rate check

Specified value:
a.

When using test disc (MDW-74/AU-1)
C1 error : Below 80
AD error : Below 2

b.

When using check disc (TDYS-1)
C1 error : Below 50

• CPLAY error rate check

Specified value:
C1 error : Below 80
AD error : Below 2

• Unsatisfactory if displayed as T=@@ (##) [NG”

NG
(@@, ## are both arbitrary numbers)

Laser power check
(5-6-2 : See page 32)

Traverse check
(5-6-3 : See page 32)

Focus bias check
(5-6-4 : See page 33)

C PLAY check
(5-6-5 : See page 33)

Self-recording/playback
check
(5-6-6 : See page 33)

Temperature
compensation
offset check
(5-6-1 : See page 32)

Criteria for Determination
(Unsatisfactory if specified value is not satisfied)

• Clean the optical pick-up
• Adjust again
• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

If always unsatisfactory:
• Replace the overwrite head
• Check for disconnection of the circuits around the

overwrite head

If occasionally unsatisfactory:
• Check if the overwrite head is distorted
• Check the mechanism around the sled

• Check for disconnection of the circuits around

D101 (BD (MD) board)

• Check the signals around IC101, IC121, CN102,

CN103 (BD (MD) board)

Measure if unsatisfactory:

The criteria for determination above is intended merely to determine if satisfactory or not, and does not serve as the specified value for adjustments.
When performing adjustments, use the specified values for adjustments.

• In this test mode, the causes for retry of the unit during recording can be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube. During playback,

the “track mode” for obtaining track information will be set.
This is useful for locating the faulty part of the unit.

• The following will be displayed :

During recording and stop : Retry cause, number of retries, and number of retry errors.
During playback

: Information such as type of disc played, part played, copyright.

These are displayed in hexadecimal.

Procedure:
1. Load a recordable disc whose contents can be erased into the unit.
2. Press the

MENU/NO “R”

button. When “Edit Menu” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, press the

l

 

m

or

M

 

L

button to display “All Erase?”.

3. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

4. When “All Erase??” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, the music calendar number blinks.
5. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button to display “Complete!!”, and press the

s

(MD) button immediately. Wait for about 10 seconds

while pressing the button.

6. When the “TOC” displayed on the fluorescent display tube goes off, release the

s

(MD) button.

7. Press the

z

REC

button to start recording. Then press the

HS

(MD) button and start recording. If recording cannot be performed,

press the 

[FUNCTION]

 button and set a different function.

8. To check the “track mode”, press the

HS

(MD) button to start play.

9. To release the test mode, press the

I/1

button, and turn the power off. When “TOC” disappears, disconnect the power plug from the

outlet. If the test mode cannot be released, refer to “MC COLD RESET” on page 8).
