5.6Maintenance of laser pickup

(1)Cleaning the pick up lens

Before you replace the pick up, please try to clean the lens with a alcohol soaked cotton swab.

(2)Life of the laser diode

When the life of the laser diode has expired, the following symptoms will appear.

The level of RF output (EFM output: amplitude of eye pattern) will be low.

Is RF output

NO

Replace it.

1.3 0.4Vp-p?

 

YES

OK

(3)Semi-fixed resistor on the APC PC board

The semi-fixed resistor on the APC printed circuit board which is attached to the pickup is used to adjust the laser power.Since this adjustment should be performed to match the characteristics of the whole optical block, do not touch the semi-fixed resistor.

If the laser power is lower than the specified value, the la- ser diode is almost worn out, and the laser pickup should be replaced. If the semi-fixed resistor is adjusted while the pickup is functioning normally, the laser pickup may be damaged due to excessive current.

5.7Replacement of laser pickup

Turn of the power switch and, disconnect the power cord.

Replace the pickup with a normal one. (Refer

to "Removing the pickup unit" on the previous page.)

Plug the power cord in, and turn the power on. At this time, check that the laser emits for about seconds and the objective lens moves up and down. Note: Do not observe the laser beam directly.

Play a disc.

Check the eye-pattern at

RF test point.

Finish.
