Focus Tracking/Gain  Adjustment
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, mechanical shock and skipping occurs
more easily.
• When gain adjustment is off, the symptoms below appear.
The following is a simple adjustment method.
– Primary Adjustment –
Note:
Since exact adjustment cannot be performed, remember the posi-
tions of the controls before performing the adjustment. If the posi-
tions after the primary adjustment are only a little different, return
the controls to the original position.
Connection:
• The time until music starts becomes longer for
STOP 
 
^ button or automatic selection.
(
=, + buttons pressed.)
(Normally takes about 2 seconds.)
• Music does not start and disc continues to
rotate for STOP 
 
^ button or automatic
selection.
(

• Sound is interrupted during PLAY.
Or time counter display stops progressing.
• More noise during 2-axis device operation

Focus Bias Adjustment
This adjustment is to be done when the optical pick-up is replaced.
Procedure:
1. Connect the oscilloscope to solder bridge (FOCUS) and TP
(VC) on  the MAIN board.
2. Put the set into test mode. (See page 24.)
3. Optical pick-up setting to the center by 
+ or = button
pushing. (Move the optical pick-up to the music area on the
disc to enable easy visibility of the eye pattern.)
4. Put the disc (YEDS-18) and press 
^ button.
From focus searching, focus is turned ON while entering
CLV drawing-in mode. Tracking and sled are turned OFF.
5. Press the 
^ button.
[Both tracking and sled are turned ON.]
6. Adjust RV701 so that the oscilloscope waveform is as shown
in the figure below (eye pattern).
A good eye pattern means that the diamond shape (≈) in the
center of the waveform can be clearly distinguished.
7. Release the test mode after adjustment is completed.
