This adjustment is to be done when the optical pick-up block is
replaced.

1. Connect the oscilloscope between TP (RF) and TP (VC).
2. Insert disc (YEDS-18) and push the 

fl button.

3. Adjust RV701 so that the oscilloscope waveform is maximum as

shown in the figure below (eye pattern).

• RF signal reference waveform (eye pattern)

A frequency response analyzer is necessary in order to perform this
adjustment exactly.
However, this gain has a margin, so even if it is slightly off, there is
no problem. Therefore, do not perform this adjustment.
Focus/tracking gain determines the pick-up follow-up (vertical and
horizontal) relative to mechanical noise and mechanical shock when
the 2-axis device operate.
However, as these reciprocate, the adjustment is at the point where
both are satisfied.
• When gain is raised, the noise when the 2-axis device operates

increases.

• When gain is lowered, it is more susceptible to mechanical shock

and skipping occurs more easily.

When gain adjustment is off, the symptoms below appear.

When observing the eye pattern, set the oscilloscope for AC range
and raise vertical sensitivity.
