SELF-DIAGNOSIS
This unit is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.
The function is used for diagnosing the conditions of the circuits
of the VIDEO board.
The circuits can be determined if normal or abnormal by the light-
ing of D502 of the VIDEO board.
Lighting of D502
When lit : Operates normally
Blinks repeatedly : The circuit may be faulty.

SERVICING NOTES
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static 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 emis-
sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
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 ûC 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. NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
