The adjustment data for the drive block are recorded to the IC4302
on the MD-131 board.
These data cannot be read or written from the adjustment remote
commander or SeusCam, unlike the camera and LCD adjustment
data.
Accordingly, be sure to adjust all items of the drive adjustment
when the following parts were replaced:
• Drive block

• Mounted MD-131 board

• IC4101 (RF process) on the MD-131 board

• IC4201 (DVD DSP) on the MD-131 board

• IC4401 (DVD mecha drive) on the MD-131 board

Adjust the drive block in the following order:
1) POWER Adjustment
2) SERVO Adjustment

In the POWER Adjustment, operate the drive with the disc cover
left open. During the adjustment, be sure to observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
1) Set the optical sensor disc correctly.
2) Keep  the distance of more than 30 cm apart from the

camcoder.

3) Work on the LCD screen side of the camcoder (opposite

side of the drive).

Note: Laser light of the equipment is focused by the object lens

in the optical pick-up so that the light focuses on the reflec-
tion surface of the disc.
Therefore, be sure to keep your eyes more then 30 cm apart
from the object lens when you check the emission of laser
diode.

1) Before setting the optical sensor disc, remove a lug on the sensor

side of the disc.

2) Push in the optical sensor disc until it clicks same as when a

disc is set, and adjust the position so that the cable from the
sensor comes just above the pickup lens, as shown below.
After positioning, fix the disc with a tape so that it does not
rotate.

Remove this lug

This part should come just above the pickup
