This unit is equipped with a self-diagnosis function.
The function is used for diagnosing the conditions of the circuits of
the VIDEO board.
The circuits can be determined if normal or abnormal by the light-
ing of D502 of the VIDEO board.

Lighting of D502
When lit

: Operates normally

Blinks repeatedly : The circuit may be faulty.

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
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 emission, ob-
serve from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
