*J senvrcEHINTS Warningavoid direct viewing of the laser otherwise irreparable

damagemay occur to the eye retina.

Precautions(ESD)
Electrostatic All the lC's fittedand most of the semiconductors
are susceptibleto
electrostatic discharges(ESD).
Carelesshandlingduringrepaircan destroythem,or drastically reduce
theirlife.
when repairing,make sure you are connectedto the same potentialas
the massof the CD playervia a wriststrapwith a resistor.Also keep
components and toolsat thispotential.

Surfacemountedchipcomponents are usedin thisequipment.Shouldany

servicingbe carriedout at componentlevelthen the correctprecautions
mustbe observedwhen removingand replacingthesecomponents.

Note: Pleaseensureany spacingwashersused are refittedon assembly.

DISMANTLINGFOR Simpleservicingcan be carriedout by removingthe top cover. To gainfull

SERVICE accessto the mainassemblies and to removethe CD mechanismboththe
rearpaneland frontpanelshouldalsobe removed.Disconnect fromthe

not to disengageeitherof the pivotpoints(P) or the spring(S).
(notethatthe springmay be fittedto eithersideof the mechanism).

C h a n g i n gM a i n s The Quad CD Playeris normallysuppliedfor 2201240V ac operation.For

Voltage 110/127Voperation the mainstransformer can be set by wire linkson the
mainPCB,the mainsinputpowerfuse mustalsobe replacedwiththe
correctrating. Facilitiesare providedfor operationfrom four different
voltageranges,110V,127V,220Vand 240V. Howeverin practicethe
'100V
127V and 240Vsettingsare suitablefor mostapplicationsbut for
supplies(Japan)the 110Vtaps shouldbe used.

a) RemovemainPCB assemblyas shownin 'Dismantling

For Service'.

VOLTAGEMEASUREMENTS Warning - Direct viewing of the laser to be avoided. I

AND ADJUSTMENTS
a) Equipment Required 1. DVM of at leastZOkelV .

2. Hexagonaltrimmingtoolfor adjusting
lasercurrentand focus offset.

3 . P h i l i p st e s td i s c5 .

b) DC Power supplies voltage measurements

Referenceshouldbe madeto the circuitdiagramsopposite.

All voltageswith respectto ground0V.

c) Laser Current Adjustment (see fig 5)

Usingtrack1 of the Philipstestdisc5, adjustR3520to give50 mV

DC +107oacrossR3501(TP1and TPZ).

d) Focus Adjustment (see fig 5) I

Usingtrack1 of Philipstest disc5, adjustR3569to give400mV
DC t10% betweenTP3 and TP4.

This now completesall the Adjustments

necessary.
