These checks are performed before replacing parts according to
“approximate specifications” to determine the faulty locations. For
details, refer to “Checks Prior to Parts Replacement and
Adjustments” (See page 8).

When performing adjustments, set the internal temperature and room
temperature to 22 to 28 C.

Checking Procedure:
1. Rotate the  – 

˜ +  knob to display “TEMP CHECK”.

2. Press the  ENTER/YES  button.
3. “T=@@(##) [OK]” should be displayed. If “T=@@ (##) [NG]”

is displayed, it means that the results are bad.
(@@ indicates the current value set, and ## indicates the value
written in the non-volatile memory.)

Before checking, check the IOP value of the optical pick-up.
(Refer to 5-8. Recording and Displaying IOP Information.)

Checking Procedure:
1. Set the laser power meter on the objective lens of the optical

pick-up. (When it cannot be set properly, press the  

0/≠

button or  

)/±  button to move the optical pick-up.)

Connect the digital volt meter to CN110 pin 5 (I+3V) and
CN110 pin 4 (IOP).

2. Then, rotate the  – 

˜ +  knob and display “LDPWR CHECK”.

3. Press the  ENTER/YES  button once and display “LD 0.9 mW $

”. Check that the reading of the laser power meter become

0.84 to 0.92 mW.

4. Press the  ENTER/YES  button once more and display “LD 7.0

mW $ 

”. Check that the reading the laser power meter and

digital volt meter satisfy the specified value.

Laser power meter reading : 7.0 ± 0.2 mW
Digital voltmeter reading : Optical pick-up displayed value ± 10%

(Optical pick-up label)

5. Press the  MENU/NO  button and display “LDPWR CHECK”

and stop the laser emission.
(The  MENU/NO  button is effective at all times to stop the
laser emission.)

(For details of the method for checking
this value, refer to “5-8. Recording and
Displaying IOP Information”.)

Checking Procedure:
1. Connect an oscilloscope to CN110 pin 3 (TE) and CN110 pin

1 (VC) of the BD board.

2. Load a disc (any available on the market). (Refer to Note 1.)
3. Press the  

)/±  button and move the optical pick-up out-

side the pit.

4. Rotate the  – 

˜ +  knob and display “EF MO CHECK”.

5. Press the  ENTER/YES  button and display “EFB = 

 MO-R”.

(Laser power READ power/Focus servo ON/tracking servo OFF/
spindle (S) servo ON)

6. Observe the waveform of the oscilloscope, and check that the

specified value is satisfied. Do not rotate the  – 

˜ +  knob.

(Read power traverse checking)

(Traverse Waveform)

7. Press the  ENTER/YES  button and display “EFB = 

 MO-W”.

8. Observe the waveform of the oscilloscope, and check that the

specified value is satisfied. Do not rotate the  – 

˜ +  knob.

(Write power traverse checking)

(Traverse Waveform)

9. Press the  ENTER/YES  button display “EFB = 

 MO-P”.

Then, the optical pick-up moves to the pit area automatically
and servo is imposed.

Note 1: After step 4, each time the  ENTER/YES  button is pressed,

the display will be switched between “LD 0.7 mW $ 

”,

“LD 6.2 mW $ 

”, and “LD Wp                $ 

”. Nothing

needs to be performed here.
