This test mode performs CREC and CPLAY automatically for
mainly checking the characteristics of the optical pick-up. To
perform this test mode, the laser power must first be checked.
Perform Auto Check after the laser power check and Iop compare.

Procedure:
1. Press the

.  m

  “R”

or

M  >

  “R”

button to display

“AUTO CHECK” (C01).

2. Press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button. If “LDPWR 

” is

displayed, it means that the laser power check has not been
performed. In this case, perform the laser power check and Iop
Compare, and then repeat from enter the MD test mode.

3. If a disc is in the mechanical deck, it will be ejected forcibly.

“DISC IN” will be displayed in this case. Load a test disc (MDW-
74/GA-1) which can be recorded.

4. If a disc is loaded at step 3, the check will start automatically.
5. When “XX CHECK” is displayed, the item corresponding to

XX will be performed.
When “06 CHECK” completes, the disc loaded at step 3 will be
ejected. “DISC IN” will be displayed. Load the check disc
(TDYS-1).

6. When the disc is loaded in the step 5, the check will automatically

be resumed from “07 CHECK”.

7. After completing to test item 12, check OK or NG will be

displayed. If all items are OK, “CHECK ALL OK” will be
displayed. If any item is NG, it will be displayed as “NG:xxxx”.

When “CHECK ALL OK” is displayed, it means that the optical
pick-up is normal. Check the operations of other parts (spindle
motor, sled motor, etc.).
When displayed as “NG:xxxx”, it means that the optical pick-up
is faulty. In this case, replace the optical pick-up.

All the following checks are performed by the Auto Check mode.
They therefore need not be performed in normal operation.
6-6. Traverse Check
6-7. Focus Bias Check
6-8. C PLAY Check
6-9. Self-Recording/Playback Check

Mode which sets the adjustment results recorded in the non-volatile
memory to the initial setting value. However the results of the tempera-
ture compensation offset adjustment will not change to the initial setting
value.
If initial setting is performed, perform all adjustments again excluding the
temperature compensation offset adjustment.
For details of the initial setting, refer to “4. Precautions for Adjustments”
(See page 39) and execute the initial setting before the adjustment as
required.

Procedure:
1. Press the

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 optical pick-up label 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. Press the

 button.

4. When the

ENTER/YES “R”

button is pressed, the display be-

comes “Measu=@@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number).

5. As the adjustment results are recorded for the step 4 value.

Leave it as it is and press the

ENTER/YES “R”

button.

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

recorded in the non-volatile memory and the display will be-

button to display “Iop Read”

(C26).

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

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.
