PRECAUTION
1.1 Safety Precautions
!Burrs formed during molding may be left over on some parts of the chassis. Therefore,
pay attention to such burrs in the case of preforming repair of this system.
!Please use enough caution not to see the beam directly or touch it in case of an
adjustment or operation check.

1-4 (No.49787B)
1.2 Preventing static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser
diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
1.2.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser diode) in devices such as CD players.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the
traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(3) Handling the optical pickup
• In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical
pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition.
(Refer to the text.)
• Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can easily
destroy the laser diode.
1.3 Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
(1) Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit.
(2) Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific details, refer to the
replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too long a
time when attaching it to the connector.
(3) Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force.
(4) It is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it.
1.4 Attention when traverse unit is decomposed
*Please refer to "Disassembly method" in the text for the CD pickup unit.
• Apply solder to the short land before the flexible wire is disconnected from the connector on the CD pickup unit.
(If the flexible wire is disconnected without applying solder, the CD pickup may be destroyed by static electricity.)
• In the assembly, be sure to remove solder from the short land after connecting the flexible wire.

3.2.13 Precautions on reassembling
CAUTION:
When reassembling, also refer to the disassembling proce-
dures.
3.2.13.1 Mounting the traverse mechanism
(See Fig.19 to 23)
(1) When mounting the pickup assembly, attach the feed slide
shaft assembly to the traverse chassis.Apply E-JC-525
grease to the shaft.
(2) Mount the middle gear and the feed slide shaft to the
traverse chassis and secure them with the screw P
through the shaft holder.
(3) Before mounting the mechanism board, move the pickup to
the outer edge position, then secure the board assembly
using the screw N.
At this time, check that the rest switch is correctly placed.
(4) To mount the rack arm, first move the pickup to the middle
position and secure it with the screws Q.
CAUTION:
To reattach the mechanism board, connect the pickup flexible
wire to connector CN501 on the mechanism board before un-
soldering the short circuit round. Subsequently, fix the mecha-
nism board using screws.

(See Fig.24 to 26)
(1) Insert the shafts f of the traverse mechanism assembly into
the slide grooves gon the lifter unit.
(2) Shift the hook of the lifter unit to the edge, and shift the slid-
ing lever inside the side bracket unit to the edge as well.
(3) With each hole and lever shifted to the edge, mount the lift-
er unit and side bracket unit from the side. (Check each at-
tached section, and check that the two shafts hof the lifter
unit are correctly inserted into the holes iof the side bracket
unit. After mounting, check that the levers move together. )

3.2.13.8 Pickup replacement procedure
(See Fig.38 to 44)
(1) Remove the bottom cover, front panel and top cover from
the exterior section.
(2) Unplug the flexible ribbon wire from connector CN502 on
the traverse mechanism PC board assembly.
(3) Turn the rear slider and third gear in the lifter section coun-
terclockwise until the traverse mechanism assembly is in
the lowermost (bottom) position.
(4) Unsolder the two wires (black and brown) connected to the
tray motor.
(5) Remove the two screws Mfrom the round holes on the
chassis (R) assembly to remove the lifter bracket (L).
(6) Remove the lower rod.
(7) Disconnect the two feed motor wires (blue and white), two
spindle motor wires (red and black) and two tray motor
wires (brown and black) that are soldered to the mecha-
nism board.
(8) Short-circuit the grounding point on the mechanism board.
Move the mechanism board without disconnecting the wire
from connector CN501. Solder the short circuit round on
the pickup assembly.
(9) Disconnect the wire from connector CN501 on the mecha-
nism board.
(10) Remove the three fixing screws Nfrom the round holes on
the chassis (R) assembly to remove the traverse mecha-
nism board assembly.
(11) Remove the pickup shaft holder fixing screw Pto remove
the pickup assembly.
CAUTION:
When replacing the pickup, be sure to apply counter-
measures against static electricity (grounding the opera-
tion table, wrist band and soldering iron). To remove it,
first short-circuit the grounding point on the mechanism
board, then lift the mechanism board assembly with
CN501 connected. Next, short-circuit the grounding
point on the pickup main unit, then unplug the pickup
flexible board from connector CN501.
CAUTION:
When reassembling, perform in the reverse order.
(12) Remove the two rack arm fixing screws Q.
Pull out the feed slide shaft.
Remove the shaft holder fixing screw R.
(13) When mounting the lifter bracket after replacing the pickup,
shift the lifter unit lever approx. 30 mm towards the inside,
then mount the lifter bracket.
