view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.

As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by static
electricity, solder the laser tap of the flexible board when using it.
Before disconnecting the connector, desolder first. Before connect-
ing the connector, be careful not to remove the solder. Also take ad-
equate measures to prevent damage by static electricity. Handle the
flexible board with care as it breaks easily.
