3. Operating Instructions 4. Handling Precautions for Traverse Deck The laser diode in the traverse deck (optical pickup) may break down due to potential difference caused by static electricity of clothes or human body. So, be careful of electrostatic breakdown during repair of the traverse deck (optical pickup).
Page 6
4.1. Handling the traverse deck (optical pickup) 1. The traverse deck (optical pickup) is an extremely high-precision construction and must not be subjected to impact, excessive vibration, or other types of rough handling. 2. In order to prevent static electricity damage to the laser diode, use a short pin or similar tool to short the optical pickup’s flexible circuit boards after they have been disconnected from the main circuit board.
1. Human body grounding Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity from your body. (as shown in Fig. 2. Work table grounding Put a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the area where the traverse deck (optical pickup) is placed, and ground the sheet. (as shown in Fig.

- For reassembly after operation checks or replacement, reverse the respective procedures. Special reassembly procedures are described only when required. - After replacing the main components (optical pickup or traverse motor, etc.) of mechanism unit block, change to the adjust mode, and then perform the “ROM/RAM auto-adjustment”.

6.2.2. Laser Power Adjustment Adjust each laser power: read power for reading (play) and write power for writing (record). 6.2.2.1. Set the Unit to the Adjustment Mode Cautions About handling the optical pickup and the magnetic head. - The optical pickup and the magnetic head are structured precisely; therefore, they are very fragile.
