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.

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.

Carry out the “S curve check” in “CD section adjustment” and
check that the S curve waveforms is output three times.

Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.

• In cleaning the objective lens of optical pick-up, be sure the

following below.

1. In cleaning the lens, do not apply an excessive force.

As the optical pick-up is vulnerable, application of excessive
force could damage the lens holder.

2. In cleaning, do not use a cleaner other than exclusive cleaning

liquid (KK-91 or isopropyl alcohol).

3. Wipe the objective lens spirally from center toward outside.

(See Figure A)

4. Eject the disk, if loaded.
5. Disconnect the power cord from the socket to shut off the power

supply.

6. When cleaning the objective lens of optical pick-up in CD,

refer to “HOLDER (BU) ASS’Y” on page 29 for removing
