NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static 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 flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
(ABX-1R)
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static break-down easily. When handling it, perform soldering
bridge to the laser-tap on the flexible board. Also perform mea-
sures against electrostatic break-down sufficiently before the op-
eration. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled
with care.

SERVICING NOTES
laser-tap
• The shipment data will be cleared when the NV is reset. There-
fore, change the NV adjusted values following the Change of
NV Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset. (See
page 17)
• This set requires the patch data in the nonvolatile memory
(IC851) to be rewritten using the application, when the MAIN
board or nonvolatile memory (IC851) was replaced. (See page
28)
• Replacement of SN761058AZQLR (LC501) and CXD2680-
207GA (IC801) used in this set requires a special tool.
• In performing the repair with the power supplied to the set, re-
moving the MAIN board causes the set to be disabled.
In such a case, make a solder bridge to short SL802 (OPEN/
CLOSE) on the MAIN board in advance.
