To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never
view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.

As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by static
electricity, solder the laser tap of the flexible board when using it.
Before disconnecting the connector, desolder first. Before connect-
ing the connector, be careful not to remove the solder. Also take
adequate measures to prevent damage by static electricity. Handle
the flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

1) When replacing the following parts, perform the adjustments

and checks with 

 in the order shown in the following table.

2) Set the test mode when performing adjustments.

After completing the adjustments, exit the test mode.
Perform the adjustments and checks in “group S” of the test mode.

3) Perform the adjustments to be needed in the order shown.
4) Use the following tools and measuring devices.

• Check Disc (MD) TDYS-1

(Parts No. 4-963-646-01)

• Test Disk (MDW-74/GA-1) (Parts No. 4-229-747-01)
• Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Parts No. J-2501-046-A)
or

MD Laser power meter 8010S (Parts No. J-2501-145-A)

• Oscilloscope (Measure after performing CAL of prove.)
• Digital voltmeter
• Thermometer
• Jig for checking BD board waveform

(Parts No. : J-2501-196-A)

5) When observing several signals on the oscilloscope, etc.,

make sure that VC and ground do not connect inside the oscillo-
scope.
(VC and ground will become short-circuited.)

6) Using the above jig enables the waveform to be checked with-

out the need to solder.
(Refer to Servicing Note on page 6.)

7) As the disc used will affect the adjustment results, make sure

that no dusts nor fingerprints are attached to it.

5. Press the  MENU/NO  button and display “LDPWR CHECK”

and stop the laser emission.
(The  MENU/NO  button is effective at all times to stop the laser
emission.)

Note 1: After step 4, each time the  YES  button is pressed, the

display will be switched between “L 0.73 mW $ 

”,

“L 6.40 mW $ 

”, and “L Wp               $ 

”. Nothing

needs to be performed here.

* This disc is used in focus bias adjustment and error rate check.

The following describes how to create a continuous recording
disc.

1. Insert a disc (blank disc) commercially available.
2. Rotate the  l AMS L  knob and display “CREC1 MODE”

(C35).

3. Press the  YES  button again to display “CREC1 MID”.
4. Press the  LEVEL/DISPLAY/CHAR  button.

Display “CREC (0300)” and start to recording.

5. Complete recording within 5 minutes.
6. Press the  MENU/NO  button and stop recording .
7. Press the  AEJECT  button and remove the disc.

The above has been how to create a continuous recorded data for
the focus bias adjustment and error rate check.
Note :
• Be careful not to apply vibration during continuous recording.

)

Checking 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).

2. Then, rotate the  l AMS L  knob and display “LDPWR

CHECK”.

3. Press the  YES  button once and display “L 0.93 mW $ 

”.

Check that the reading of the laser power meter become the
specified value.

4. Press the  YES  button once more and display “ L 7.25 mW $

”. Check that the reading the laser power meter and digital

volt meter satisfy the specified value.

Laser power meter reading : L 0.93mW: 0.85-0.91mW (260B)

0.90-0.96mW (260E)

  L 7.25mW: 6.80-7.20mW (260B)

7.00-7.50mW (260E)

Digital voltmeter reading : Optical pick-up displayed value ± 10%

(Optical pick-up label)

(For details of the method for checking
this value, refer to “5-8. Recording and
Displaying Iop Information”.)

R

The current Iop value at laser power 7 mw output and reference Iop
value (set at shipment) written in the nonvolatile memory are
compared, and the rate of increase/decrease will be displayed in
percentage.

Note: Perform this function with the optical pick-up set at room

temperature.

Procedure
1. Rotate the  l AMS L  knob to display “Iop Compare”.
2. Press the  YES  button and start measurements.
3. When measurements complete, the display changes to

Iop [STOP]           Iop [7.0mW]           “±xx%yy”.
xx is the percentage of increase/decrease, and OK or NG is
displayed at yy to indicate whether the percentage of increase/
decrease is within the allowable range.

4. Press the  MENU/NO  button to end.

These checks are performed before replacing parts according to
“approximate specifications” to determine the faulty locations. For
details, refer to “Checks Prior to Parts Replacement and Adjust-
ments” (See page 8).

When performing adjustments, set the internal temperature and room
temperature to 22 to 28ºC.
Checks cannot be performed properly if performed after some time
from power ON due to the rise in the temperature of the IC and
diode, etc. So, perform the checks again after waiting some time.

Checking Procedure:
1. Rotate the  l AMS L  knob to display “TEMP CHECK”.

(C12)

2. Press the  YES  button.
3. “T=@@(##) [OK” should be displayed. If “T=@@ (##) [NG”

is displayed, it means that the results are bad.
(@@ indicates the current value set, and ## indicates the value
written in the non-volatile memory.)

Before checking, check the Iop value of the optical pick-up.
(Refer to 5-8. Recording and Displaying Iop Information.)

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  YES  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 step 1.

2. 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/GA1) which can be recorded.

3. If a disk is loaded at step 2, the check will start automatically.
4. When “XX CHECK” is displayed, the item corresponding to

XX will be performed.
When “06 CHECK” completes, the disc loaded at step 2 will be
ejected. “DISC IN” will be displayed. Load the check disc (MD)
TDYS-1.

5. When the disc is loaded, the check will automatically be resumed

from “07 CHECK”.

6. 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 the other spindle motor,
thread 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.

1. Load a continuously recorded test disc (MDW-74/GA1).

(Refer to “5-5. Using the Continuously Recorded Disc”.)
