Clear RF signal waveform means that the shape “ 

◊ ” can be clearly

distinguished at the center of the waveform.

1. Connect an oscilloscope to TP2 (TE) and TP10 (VC) on the

BD board.

2. Press the

I

/1

button to turn the power on.

3. Load the disc (LUV-P01) and playback the number nine track.
4. Press the  

hH

  button. (Becomes the 1 track jump mode.)

5. Confirm that the level B and A (DC voltage) on the oscilloscope

waveform.

1.

CD Block is basically designed to operate without adjustment.
Therefore, check each item in order given.

2.

Use LUV-P01 (Part No. 4-999-032-01) unless otherwise indicated.

3.

Use an oscilloscope with more than 10 MW impedance.

4.

Clean the object lens by an applicator with neutral detergent when the
signal level is low than specified value with the following checks.

1. Connect an oscilloscope to TP4 (FE) and TP10 (VC) on the

BD board.

2. Press the

I

/1

button to turn the power on.

3. Load the disc (LUV-P01) and actuate the focus search. (In

consequence of open and close the disc tray, actuate the focus
search)

4. Confirm that the oscilloscope waveform (S-curve) is

symmetrical between A and B. And confirm peak to peak level
within 2 

±

 0.5 Vp-p.

•

Try to measure several times to make sure than the ratio
of A : B or B : A is more than 10 : 7.

•

Take sweep time as long as possible and light up the
brightness to obtain best waveform.

1. Connect an oscilloscope CH1 to TP6 (RFDC), CH2 to TP5

(RFAC) and TP10 (VC) on the BD board.

2. Press the

I

/1

button to turn the power on.

3. Load the disc (LUV-P01) and playback the number nine track.
4. Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check if RF

signal level is correct or not.

3. Connect a frequency counter to TP70 (54 MHz) and TP182

(4.2336 MHz) on the VMP board.

4. Press the

I

/1

button to turn the power on.

5. Set a test disc (HLV-402 (Part No. 8-909-870-00))
6. Set to the MPEG AV TEST mode. (Refer to the CD SERVICE

MODE (See page 19))

7. The message “MPEG AV” is displayed on the fluorescent

indicator tube. Color bar signal outputs and sine-wave (1 kHz
0 dB) appears.

8. Confirm that the value of level meter is 2.5 

±

  2.0 dBs. (If

audio output disappear, press the [PRESET EQ] button, and
the message “SERVICE MODE” is displayed on the
fluorescent indicator tube)

9. Confirm that the value of frequency counter is 54 MHz 

±

 400

Hz.

10. Confirm that the value of frequency counter is 4,2336 MHz.
11. Change disc to a MP3 test disc (MP3 1 kHz 0 dB sine-wave is

recorded)
