Notes on chip component replacement
-Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
-Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
-Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ΛC dur-
ing repairing.
-Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
-Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0 OR DOTTED
LINE WITH MARK 0 ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE
OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH
SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS
SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUB-
LISHED BY SONY.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on
the rear exterior.CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra-
diation exposure.
On AC power adaptor
-Use only the AC power adaptor supplied or
recommended in Accessories (supplied/
optional). Do not use any other AC power
adaptor. It may cause a malfunction.

SERVICING NOTES
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static breakdown because of the potential difference generated by
the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown 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 emis-
sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.BEFORE REPLACING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
Please be sure to check thoroughly the parameters as par the Op-
tical Pick-Up Block Checking Procedures (Part No.: 9-960-027-
11) issued separately before replacing the optical pick-up block.
Note and specifications required to check are given below.
- FOK output: IC601 yg pin
When checking FOK, remove the lead wire to disc motor.
- RF signal P-to-P value: 0.4 to 0.6 Vp-p
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
During normal operation of the equipment, emission of the laser
diode is prohibited unless the upper lid is closed while turning ON
the S804. (push switch type)
The following checking method for the laser diode is operable.
- Method:
Emission of the laser diode is visually checked.
1. Open the upper lid.
2. With a disc not set, turn on the S801 with a screwdriver having
a thin tip as shown in Fig.1.
3. Press the
> N button.
4. Observing the objective lens, check that the laser diode emits
light.
When the laser diode does not emit light, automatic power
control circuit or optical pickup is faulty.
In this operation, the objective lens will move up and down 4
times along with inward motion for the focus search.

About CD-Rs/CD-RWs
This CD player can play CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the CD-DA
format*, but playback capability may vary depending on the qual-
ity of the disc and the condition of the recording device.
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is
a recording standard used for the Audio CDs.
