(@@, ## are both arbitrary numbers)

Before performing repairs, perform the following checks to determine the faulty locations up to a certain extent.
Details of the procedures are described in “5 Electrical Adjustments”.

Laser power check
(7-6-2 : See page 29)

Traverse check
(7-6-3 : See page 29)
Focus bias check
(7-6-4 : See page 30)

C PLAY check
(7-6-5 : See page 30)

Self-recording/playback
check
(REC/PLAY)
(7-6-6 : See page 30)

TEMP check
(Temperature
compensation
offset check)
(7-6-1 : See page 29)

Criteria for Determination
(Unsatisfactory if specified value is not satisfied)

• Clean the optical pick-up
• Adjust again
• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

• Replace the optical pick-up

If always unsatisfactory:
• Replace the overwrite head
• Check for disconnection of the circuits around the

overwrite head

If occasionally unsatisfactory:
• Check if the overwrite head is distorted
• Check the mechanism around the sled
• Check for disconnection of the circuits around D101

(BD board)

• Check the signals around IC101, IC121, CN102,

CN103 (BD board)

Measure if unsatisfactory:

The criteria for determination above is intended merely to determine if satisfactory or not, and does not serve as the specified value for
adjustments.
When performing adjustments, use the specified values for adjustments.

The system microprocessor can be reset in the following procedure.
Use these procedure when the unit cannot be operated normally due to the overrunning of the microprocessor, etc.
Procedure :
Disconnect the power plug, short-circuit both edge of BT921.

IC801
