1-1. NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
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.
1-2. 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 objectivelens.
1-3. 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.
1-4. FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT BOARD REPAIRING
- Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 °C 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.

SEARCH OPERATION
1. Turn on the POWER and open the CD cover.
2. As shown below, push S701 (CD DOOR) with a screwdriver or
other tool.
3. Press the CD button.
4. Check the objective lens to make sure that the laser diode is
emitting light. If not so, the auto power control circuit or
optical pickup would be damaged.
Verify that the objective lens moves vertically three times for
focus search. This Compact Disc player
is classified as a CLASS 1
LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER
PRODUCT label is located
on the bottom exterior.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of proce-
duresother than those specified herein may result in haz-
ardous radiation exposure.
