 AD = 
” is displayed.
5. Rotate the SELECTOR knob and display “FBIAS ADJUST”.
6. Press the YES button and display “ 
/
 a = 
”.
The first four digits indicate the C1 error rate, the two digits after
[/] indicate ADER, and the 2 digits after [a =] indicate the focus
bias value.
7. Rotate the SELECTOR knob in the clockwise direction and find
the focus bias value at which the C1 error rate becomes 220.
8. Press the YES button and display “ 
/
 b = 
”.
9. Rotate the SELECTOR knob in the counterclockwise direction
and find the focus bias value at which the C1 error rate becomes
220.
10. Press the YES button and display “ 
/
 c = 
”.
11. Check that the C1 error rate is below 50 and ADER is 00. Then
press the YES button.

position C is automatically calculated from points a and b.
Note 2 : As the C1 error rate changes, perform the adjustment using
the average vale.

 AD = 
” is displayed.
5. Rotate the SELECTOR knob and display “FBIAS CHECK”.
6. Press the YES button and display “ 
/
 c = 
”.
The first four digits indicate the C1 error rate, the two digits after
[/] indicate ADER, and the 2 digits after [c =] indicate the focus
bias value.
Check that the C1 error is below 50 and ADER is 00.
7. Press the YES button and display “ 
/
 b = 
”.
Check that the C1 error is not below 220 and ADER is not
above 00 every time.
8. Press the YES button and display “ 
/
 a = 
”.
Check that the C1 error is not below 220 and ADER is not above
00 every time.
9. Press the NO button, next press the EJECT button, and remove
the continuously recorded disc.
Note 1 : If the C1 error and ADER are above 00 at points a or b, the
