NOTES  ON  HANDLING  THE OPTICAL  PICK-UP 
 
BLOCK  OR  BASE  UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostat-
ic 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 fl exible board is easily damaged and should be handled with 
care.
NOTES  ON  LASER  DIODE  EMISSION  CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused 
on the disc refl ective surface by the objective lens in the optical 
pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, 
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures 
other than those specifi ed herein may result in hazardous radia-
tion exposure.
If the optical pick-up block is defective, please replace the whole 
optical pick-up block.
Never turn the semi-fi xed resistor located at the side of optical 
pick-up block.
