Adjusting Procedure :
1. Set the laser power meter on the objective lens of the optical

pick-up. (When it cannot be set properly, press the  m  button
or  M  button to move the optical pick-up.)
Connect the digital volt meter to CN105 pin 1 (I+3V) and
CN105 pin 2 (IOP).

meter becomes 0.85 to 0.91 mW. Press the  ENTER/YES  but-
ton after setting the range knob of the laser power meter, and
save the adjustment results. (“LD SAVE $ 

” will be displayed

for a moment.)

5. Then “LD 7.0 mW $ 

” will be displayed.

6. Rotate the  MD JOG  knob so that the reading of the laser power

meter becomes 6.9 to 7.1 mW, press the   ENTER/YES   button
and save it.

Note : Do not perform the emission with 7.0 mW more than 15

seconds continuously.

Note :
1. Usually, do not perform this adjustment.
2. Perform this adjustment in an ambient temperature of 22 ˚C to

28 ˚C. Perform it immediately after the power is turned on when
the internal temperature of the unit is the same as the ambient
temperature of 22 ˚C to 28 ˚C.

3. When D101 has been replaced, perform this adjustment after

the temperature of this part has become the ambient tempera-
ture.

Adjusting Procedure :
1. Rotate the  MD JOG  knob and display “TEMP ADJUS” (C03).
2. Press the  ENTER/YES  button and select the “TEMP ADJUS”

(C03) mode.

3. “TEMP = 

[OK]” and the current temperature data will be

displayed.

4. To save the data, press the  ENTER/YES  button.

When not saving the data, press the  MENU/NO  button.

5. When the  ENTER/YES  button is pressed, “TEMP = 

 SAVE”

will be displayed and turned back to “TEMP ADJUS” (C03)
display then. When the  MENU/NO  button is pressed, “TEMP
ADJUS” (C03) will be displayed immediatelly.

Specified Value :
The “TEMP =  

” should be within “E0 - EF”, “F0 - FF”, “00 -

0F”,  “10 - 1F” and “20 - 2F”.

Check the Iop value of the optical pick-up before adjustments.
(Refer to 5-8. Recording and Displaying the Iop Information.)

Note:
Mode which sets the adjustment results recorded in the non-vola-
tile memory to the initial setting value. However the results of the
temperature compensation offset adjustment will not change to the
initial setting value.
If initial setting is performed, perform all adjustments again ex-
cluding the temperature compensation offset adjustment.
For details of the initial setting, refer to “5-4. Precautions for Ad-
justments” and execute the initial setting before the adjustment as
required.

Setting Procedure :
1. Rotate the  MD JOG  knob to display “ADJ CLEAR” (C28).
2. Press the  ENTER/YES  button. “Complete!” will be displayed

momentarily and initial setting will be executed, after which “ADJ
CLEAR” (C28) will be displayed.

The IOP data can be recorded in the non-volatile memory. The Iop
value on the label of the optical pick-up and the Iop value after the
adjustment will be recorded. Recording these data eliminates the
need to read the label on the optical pick-up.

Recording Procedure :
1. While pressing the  MD JOG  knob and  s  button, connect the

power plug to the outlet, and release the  MD JOG  knob and  s
button.

2. Rotate the  MD JOG  knob to display “[Service]”, and press the

ENTER/YES  button.

7. As the adjustment results are recorded for the 6 value. Leave it

as it is and press the  ENTER/YES  button.

8. “Complete!” will be displayed momentarily. The value will be

recorded in the non-volatile memory and the display will be-
come “Iop Write” (C05).

1. Rotate the  MD JOG  knob to display “Iop Read” (C26).
2. “@@.@/##.#” is displayed and the recorded contents are dis-

played.

##.# indicates the Iop value after adjustment

3. To end, press the  MD JOG  button or  MENU/NO  button to

display “Iop Read” (C26).

Save the temperature data at that time in the non-volatile memory
as 25 ˚C reference data.

Write the reference values in the nonvolatile memory to perform
“Iop compare”. As this involves rewriting the reference values, do
not perform this procedure except when adjusting the laser power
during replacement of the optical pick-up and when replacing the
IC102. Otherwise the optical pick-up check may deteriorate.
