THE AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMISSION LEVEL) OF THE LASER POWER OUTPUT IS LESS THAN CLASS 1
BUT THE LASER COMPONENT IS CAPABLE OF EMITTING RADIATION EXCEEDING THE LIMIT FOR
CLASS 1.
A SPECIALLY INSTRUCTED PERSON SHOULD DO SERVICING OPERATION OF THE APPARATUS.
LASER DIODE CHARACTERISTICS
FOR DVD : MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 5 mW
WAVELENGTH : 650 nm
FOR CD : MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER : 5 mW
WAVELENGTH : 780 nm
Additional Laser Caution
∗: See page 16.
1.
• Laser diode is driving with Q2303,Q2305(650nm LD) and Q2302,
Q2304(780nm LD)on the DVD MT PCB Assy.
Therefore, when short-circuit between the emitter and collector of these
transistors or the base voltage is supplied for transistors turn on, the
laser oscillates. (failure mode)
• In the test mode ∗, there is the mode that the laser oscillates except
for the disc judgment and playback. LD ON mode in the test mode
oscillates with the laser forcibly.
2. When the cover is open, close viewing through the objective lens with
the naked eye will cause exposure to the laser beam.

NOTES ON USE
WHEN REPLACING DVD DECK
NOTES ON SOLDERING
• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:
• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.

Case when this diagnosis is required :
When playback of any disc, including a test disc (DVD: GGV1025, CD: STD-905), cannot be performed
How to diagnose
In the case mentioned above, degradation of the laser diodes (LDs) mounted on the PICKUP Assy is suspected.
Measure the voltage between the two ends of one of the resistors mentioned below.
Measure the voltage between the two ends of R2321 or R2323 on the DVDM
Assy. If the voltage is 0.4 V or higher, the 650-nm LD is degraded.
No playback of a DVD :
Measure the voltage between the two ends of R2320 or R2322 on the DVDM
Assy. If the voltage is 0.4 V or higher, the 780-nm LD is degraded.
No playback of a CD :
If the measurements show degradation
of an LD, replace the PICKUP Assy.
