3 minutes even if the power is turned on again. In this case, short
instantaneously the BP (CD TEST MANUAL).
3. Press the  ^ key, and the focus search is repeated.
At this time, check that the optical pick-up objective lens moves
smoothly without a sticking or noise.
4. Load the test disc (YEDS-18: Part No. 3-702-101-01), and per-
form automatic adjustment after the focus search succeded.
5. After automatic adjustment is finished, move the sled motor
to the center. At this time, keep pressing the + and =
