Sony MDS-JE630 Precautions for Checking Laser Diode Emission, Precautions for Adjustments

2. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECKING LASER DIODE EMISSION

To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight.

3. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF OPTICAL PICK-UP (KMS-260A)

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 con- necting the connector, be careful not to remove the solder. Also take adequate measures to prevent damage by static electricity. Handle the flexible board with care as it breaks easily.

4. PRECAUTIONS FOR ADJUSTMENTS

1.When replacing the following parts, perform the adjustments and checks with Âin the order shown in the following table.

2.Set the test mode when performing adjustments.

After completing the adjustments, release the test mode. Perform the adjustments and checks in “group S” of the test mode.

3.Perform the adjustments to be needed in the order shown.

4.Use the following tools and measuring devices.

• Check Disc (MD) TDYS-1

(Part No. 4-963-646-01)

•TEST DISK (MDW-74/AU-1) (Part No. 8-892-341-41)

•Laser power meter LPM-8001 (Part No. J-2501-046-A) or MD Laser power meter 8010S (Part No. J-2501-145-A)

•Oscilloscope (Measure after performing CAL of prove)

•Digital voltmeter

•Thermometer

•Jig for checking BD board waveform

(Part No. : J-2501-149-A)

5.When observing several signals on the oscilloscope, etc., make sure that VC and ground do not connect inside the oscil- loscope.

(VC and ground will become short-circuited)

6.Using the above jig enables the waveform to be checked with- out the need to solder.

(Refer to Servicing Notes on page 6)

7.As the disc used will affect the adjustment results, make sure that no dusts nor fingerprints are attached to it.

Laser power meter

When performing laser power checks and adjustment (electrical adjustment), use of the new MD laser power meter 8010S (Part No. J-2501-145-A) instead of the conventional laser power meter is convenient.

It sharply reduces the time and trouble to set the laser power meter sensor onto the objective lens of optical pick-up.

5.CREATING CONTINUOUSLY-RECORDED DISC

* This disc is used in focus bias adjustment and error rate check. The following describes how to create a continuous recording disc.

1.Insert a disc (blank disc) commercially available.

2.Turn the [ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊAMSÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ]- ± knob and display “CREC MODE”. (C31)

3.Press the [YES] button again to display “CREC MID”. Display “CREC (0300)” and start to recording.

4.Complete recording within 5 minutes.

5.Press the [MENU/NO] button and stop recording .

6.Press the [ÊÊÊÊÊEJECT]¤ button and remove the disc.

The above has been how to create a continuous recorded data for the focus bias adjustment/check and MO error rate check.

Note :

• Be careful not to apply vibration during continuous recording.
