• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C dur-

ing repairing.

• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the

circuit board (within 3 times).

• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering

or unsoldering.

• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-

aged by heat.

The special jig (J-2501-149-A) is useful for checking the waveform of the BD 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)
TE

: TRK error signal (Traverse adjustment)

VC

: Reference level for checking the signal

The IOP value labeled on the 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 pick-up or non-volatile memory (IC171 of BD board), record the IOP
value on the pick-up according to the following procedure.

Record Precedure:
1. While pressing the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob and p button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob

and p button.

2. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

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

[YES]

 button.

3. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob to display “lop.Write” (C28), and press the 

[YES]

 button.

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

To select the number : Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob.

To select the digit

: Press the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob.

6. When the 

[YES]

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

7. As the adjustment results are recorded for the 6 value. Leave it as it is and press the 

[YES]

 button.

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

Write”.

9. Press the 

[REPEAT]

 button to complete. “Standby” will be displayed.

Display Precedure:
1. While pressing the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob and  p  button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob

and  p  button.

2. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

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

[YES]

 button.

3. Rotate the 

[        AMS        ]

 knob to display “lop.Read” (C27).

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

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

: indicates the Iop value after adjustment

5. To end, press the 

[        AMS        ]

 button or 

[MENU/NO]

 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, and c
C1 error : Below 220
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

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

Laser power check
(5-6-2 : See page 25)

Traverse check

TEMP check
(Temperature
compensation
offset check)
(5-6-1 : See page 25)

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 board)

• Check the signals around IC101, IC121, CN102,

CN103 (BD 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.

The system microprocessor can be reset in the following procedure.
Use these procedure when the unit cannot be operated normally due to the overrunning of the microprocessor, etc.
Procedure :
Disconnect the power plug, short-circuit jumper wire of JW705 and JW706 (RESET).
