NOTES ON HANDLING THE 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
repain 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, ob-
serve from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carryout the “S curve check” in “CD section adjustment” and check
that the S curve waveform is output three times.

SECTION 4
TEST MODE
VIDEO CD COLOR-BARS MODE
On this mode, the data of the color-bars signal as a picture signal
and the 1kHz sine wave signal as a sound signal are output by the
mechanism control microcomputer (IC701) for video CD signal
check. When measurement of the voltage and waveform on the
VIDEO board, perform it in this mode.
Forrefernce,the color-barssignal can be observed atJ9001(VIDEO
OUT) and the sound signal can be observed at J101 (VIDEO (AU-
DIO) OUT) using an oscilloscope.
1. Connect the lead wire to both ends of the land of SL701 (CAL
BAR) of the VIDEO board.
2. Turn the power on. Press FUNCTION button to select CD.
3. After 2 or 3 seconds later, connect the lead wire.
4. After measuring, remove the lead wire connected.
NOTE:
The 1 kHz sine wave is not outputted when the CD is played once,
but it is not error.
E-F BALANCE MODE
• Refer to SECTION 6 ELECTRICALADJUSTMENTS page 15.
1. Connect the lead wire to both ends of the land of SL702 (ADJ)
and SL703 (AFADJ) of the VIDEO board.
2. Turn the power on. Press FUNCTION button to select CD.
3. Short-circuit the lead wire. (At this time, “DISC” on the fluores-
cent indicator tube will blink (test mode). If it is not blinking,
perform from step 1 again.)
4. Press the ·button in playback.
5. Every pressing the REPEAT button, the tracking servo and the
sledding servo are turned on or off.
6. When the servo is OFF, the counter on front panel will not be
changed.

Record Bias Adjustment (Deck B)
Procedure:
INTRODUCTION
When set to the test mode performed in Tape Speed Adjust-
ment,when the tape is rewound after recording, the“REC memory
mode” which rewinds only the recorded portion and playback is
set.
This “REC memory mode” is convenient for performing this ad-
justment. During recording, the input signal FUNCTION will auto-
matically switch to VIDEO.
1. Press FUNCTION button to select VIDEO. (This step is not
necessary if the above test mode has already been set.)
2. Load a tape into deck B, and press the rREC button.
3. Mode: Record
4. Mode: Playback
5. Confirm playback the signal recorded in step 2 become adjust-
ment level as follows.
If these levels do not adjustment level, adjust the RV341 (L-
CH) and RV441 (R-CH) on the AUDIO board to repeat steps 3
and 4.
Adjustment level: The playback output of 10 kHz level difference

Record Level Adjustment (Deck B)
Procedure:
INTRODUCTION
When set to the test mode performed in Tape Speed Adjust-
ment, when the tape is rewound after recording, the“REC memory
mode” which rewinds only the recorded portion and playback is
set.
This “REC memory mode” is convenient for performing this
adjustment. During recording, the input signal FUNCTION will
automatically switch to VIDEO.
1. Press FUNCTION button to select VIDEO. (This step is not
necessary if the above test mode has already been set.)
2. Load a tape into deck B, and press the rREC button.
3. Mode: Record
5. Confirm playback the signal recorded in step 2 become adjust-
ment level as follows.
If these levels do not adjustment level, adjust the RV301 (L-
CH) and RV351 (R-CH) on the MAIN board to repeat steps 3
and 4.
Adjustment level:
CN403 playback level: 47.2 to 53.0 mV (–24.3 to –23.3 dB)

CD SECTION
NOTE :
1. CD Block is basically designed to operate without adjustment.
Therefore, check each item in order given.
2. Use YEDS-18 disc (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated.
3. Use an oscilloscope with more than 10MΩimpedance.
4. Clean the object lensbyanapplicatorwithneutraldetergent when
the signal level is low than specified value with the following
checks.
S Curve Check
Note : A clear RF signal waveform means that the shape “◊” can
be clearly distinguished at the center of the waveform.
RFsignalwaveform
Procedure :
1. Connect oscilloscope to test point TP (FE) on BD board.
2. Connect between test point TP(FEI) and TP(VC) by lead wire.
3. Turned Power switch on.
4. Put disc (YEDS-18) in and turned Power switch on again and
actuate the focus search. (actuate the focus search when disc
table is moving in and out.)
5. Check the oscilloscope waveform (S-curve) is symmetrical be-
tween A and B.
And confirm peak to peak level within 3±1 Vp-p.

Note : • Try to measure several times to make sure than the ratio
of A : B or B :A is more than 10 : 7.
• Take sweep time as long as possible andlightupthebright-
ness to obtain best waveform.

3. Turned Power switch on. Press FUNCTION button to select
CD.
4. Short the lead wire.
5. Put disc (YEDS-18) in to play the number five track.
6. Press the REPEAT button. (The tracking servo and the sled-
ding servo are turned OFF.)
7. Check the level B of the oscilliscope's waveform and theA(DC
voltage) of the center of the Traverse waveform.
Confirm the following :

RF PLL Free-run Frequency Check
Procedure :
1. Connect frequency counter to TP (PLCK) with lead wire.
2. Turned Power switch on.
