NOTES ON HANDLINGTHE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
break-down because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the “Scurvecheck”in “CDsection adjustment”andcheck
that the S curve waveform is output several times.
Self-diagnosis Function
(When letters/numbers appear in the
display)
When the self-diagnosis function is
activated to prevent the system from
malfunctioning. In this case a five-character
service number (e.g., C 13 00) with a
combination of a letter and digits appears on
the screen and the front panel display. Refer
to the following table.
First three
characters of
the service
number
C 13
C 31
E XX
(xx is a number)
Cause and/or Corrective
Action
The disc is dirty.
,Clean the disc with a soft
cloth (page 9).
The disc is not inserted
correctly.
,Re-insert the disc
correctly.
To prevent a malfunction, the
system has performed the self-
diagnosis function.
,Contact your nearest Sony
dealer or local authorized
Sony service facility and
give the 5-character
service number.
Example: E 61 10
C:13:00
