1. This design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components specially for safety
purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in
writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services
should be performed by qualified personnel only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design alterations of the product
should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer`s warranty and will further
relieve the manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related characteristics. These
characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily
be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.Replacement parts which
have these special safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical
components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the Parts List in
the Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics
as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or
other hazards.
4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be
separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges for the prevention of
electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing and dress should be
observed, and it should be confirmed that they have been returned to normal, after re-assembling.
5. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the product
(antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the
product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage
current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground.Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000 ohms per volt or more
sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor
between an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC
voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part,
particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to
the chassis, and meausre the AC voltage across the resistor.
Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each
measurement.Voltage measured any must not exceed 0.75 V
AC (r.m.s.).This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
1.This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards.
2. It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that these safety standards are maintained.
3. Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant safety standards.
4. It is essential that safety critical components are replaced by approved parts.
5. If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local voltage.

Place this
probe on
each exposed
metal part.

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.
In regard with component parts appearing on the silk-screen printed side (parts side) of the PWB diagrams, the
parts that are printed over with black such as the resistor ( ), diode ( ) and ICP ( ) or identified by the " "
mark nearby are critical for safety.

Preventing static electricity
1.Grounding to prevent damage by 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.
2.About the earth processing for the destruction prevention 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.
2-1 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.
2-2 Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
3. Handling the optical pickup
1. 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.)
2. 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.
4.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.
Attention when traverse unit is decomposed
*Please refer to "Disassembly method" in the text for pick-up and how to detach the substrate.

Host chip select. Host asserts HCS to select the controller for a read or
write operation. The falling edge of this signal triggers the read or write
operation. General Purpose I/Os 41, 42, and 43, respectively.
Host chip select. Host asserts HCS to select the controller for a read or
write operation. The falling edge of this signal triggers the read or write
operation.
Host (muxed address) address bus. 3-bit address bus selects one of eight
host inter-face registers. These signals are not muxed in ATAPI master
mode.
HA[15:0] is the 16-bit (muxed address and data) bi-directional host data
bus through which the host writes data to the decoder Code FIFO. MSB of
the 32-bitword iswrit-ten first. The host also reads and writes the decoder
internal registers and local SDRAM/ROM via HA[7:0]. These signals are
not muxed for ATAPI master mode.
Host Data Transfer Acknowledge.
Host interrupt. Open drain signal, must be pulled-up via 4.7k to 3.3 volts.
Driven high for 10 ns before tristate.
Host Upper Data Strobe. Host high byte data, HA[15:8], is valid when this
pin is active.
Host Lower Data Strobe. Host low byte data, HA[7:0], is valid when this pin
is active.
Read/write strobe
Address latch enable
Memory chip select.
Active LOW SDRAM Column Address Strobe.
Active LOW SDRAM Row Address Strobe.
These pins are the bytes masks corresponding to MD[7:0], [15:8], [23:16]
and [31:24].They allow for byte reads/writes to SDRAM.
SDRAM Address
SDRAM Data
SDRAM Write Enable. Specifies transaction to SDRAM: read (=1) or

General Purpose I/O 9
Video clock. Clocks out data on input. VDATA[7:0].
Clock is typically 27 MHz.
Video data bus. Byte serial CbYCrY data synchronous with VCLK. At
powerup, the decoder does not drive VDATA. During boot-up, the
decoder uses configuration parameters to drive or 3-state VDATA.
General Purpose I/Os [1:7]
Vertical sync. Bi-directional, the decoder outputs the top border of a new
field onthe first HSYNC after the falling edge of VSYNC. VSYNC can
accept vertical synchroni-zation or top/bottom field notification from an
external source. (VSYNC HIGH = bot-tom field. VSYNC LOW = Top field)
