SECTION 1SERVICING NOTES

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic 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

The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on the disc reflective 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.

UNLEADED SOLDER

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead- free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.

(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with

the lead free mark due to their particular size)

: LEAD FREE MARK

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.

•Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher than ordinary solder.

Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.

Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350 °C.

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

•Strong viscosity

Unleaded solder is more viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc.

•Usable with ordinary solder

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.

NOTES ON REPLACEMENT OF CSP (CHIP SIZE PACKAGE) IC

Replacement of MM1690NCBE (IC401), SN761059AZQLR (IC501), SC901585VAR2 (IC601) and CXD2681-225GG (IC801) used in this set requires a special tool.

OPERATION CHECK WHEN THE MAIN BOARD IS REMOVED

In making an operation check with the MAIN board removed from the set, short the SL894 of the MAIN board with the solder before starting the operation check.

Note: Be sure to remove the solder used for shortcircuit after the repaire completed.
