Focus 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 gain determines the pick-up follow-up (vertical and hori-
zontal) 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
this adjustment exactly.

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.

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.

Procedure:
1. Keep the set horizontal.

2. Insert the disc (YEDS-18) and press
^ button.
3. Connect the oscilloscope TP (FE) and TP (VREF) on MAIN
board.
4. Adjustment RV502 on MAIN board so that the waveform is
as shown in the figure below.
