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)
TEO : TRK error signal (Traverse adjustment)
VC

: Reference level for checking the signal

The IOP value labeled on the optical 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 optical pick-up or non-volatile memory (IC171 of BD board),
record the IOP value on the optical 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. Turn the  

= 

AMS

 

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

[YES]

 button.

3. Turn 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 : Turn 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.

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. Turn th  

= 

AMS

 

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

[YES]

 button.

3. Turn the  

= 

AMS

 

+ knob to display “lop Read” (C27).

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

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

: indicates the IOP value after adjustment

5. To end, press the  

= 

AMS

 

+ knod or 

[MENU/NO]

 button to display “Iop Read”. Then press the 

[REPEAT]

 button.

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 : About 200
AD error : Above 00

• 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
AD error : Below 2

• Unsatisfactory if displayed as T=@@ (##) [NG”

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

Laser power check
(6-2 : See page 23)

Traverse check
(6-3 : See page 23)

Focus bias check
(6-4 : See page 24)

C PLAY check
(6-5 : See page 24)

Self-recording/playback
check
(6-6 : See page 24)

Temperature
compensation
offset check
(6-1 : See page 23)

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.

• In this test mode, the causes for retry of the unit during recording can be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube. During playback,

the “track mode” for obtaining track information will be set.
This is useful for locating the faulty part of the unit.

• The following will be displayed :

During recording and stop : Retry cause, number of retries, and number of retry errors.
During playback

: Information such as type of disc played, part played, copyright.

These are displayed in hexadecimal.

Precedure:
1. Load a recordable disc whose contents can be erased into the unit.
2. Press the 

[MENU/NO]

 button. When “Edit Menu” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, turn the

= 

AMS

 

+ knob to

display “All Erase?”.

3. Press the 

[YES]

 button. (Or press the  

= 

AMS

 

+ knob)

4. When “All Erase??” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, the music calendar number blinks.
5. Press the 

[YES]

 button to display “Complete!!”, and press the

p button immediately. Wait for about 15 seconds while pressing the

button. (The  

= 

AMS

 

+ knob can be pressed instead of the 

[YES]

 button for the same results.)

6. When the “TOC” displayed on the fluorescent display tube goes off, release the

p button.

7. Press the  

[    REC]

 button to start recording. Then press the

P button and start recording.

8. To check the “track mode”, press the

· button to start play.

9. To exit the test mode, press the

1/

u

button, and turn OFF the power. When “TOC” disappears, disconnect the power plug from the

outlet.
