The deck has a self-diagnosis display. This function shows a three-digit display (a combination of a letter and figures) and the corresponding message alternately, so you can check the deck’s condition. If such a display appears, check the following table in order to resolve the problem. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Self-diagnosis display...
SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTE JIG FOR CHECKING BD BOARD WAVEFORM The special jig (J-2501-124-A) is useful for checking the waveform of the BD board. The names of terminals and the checking items to be performed are shown as follows. I+3V : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser) IOP : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser) TEO : TRK error signal (Traverse adjustment) : Reference level for checking the signal...

SECTION 4 TEST MODE 4-1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF TEST MODE 1 As loading related operations will be performed regardless of the test mode operations being performed, be sure to check that the disc is stopped before setting and removing it. Even if the §EJECT button is pressed while the disc is rotating during continuous playback, continuous recording, etc., the disc will not stop rotating.

4-5-1. Operating the Continuous Playback Mode Entering the continuous playback mode 1 Set the disc in the unit. (Whichever recordable discs or discs for playback only are available.) 2 Rotate the AMS knob and display “CPLAY MODE”. 3 Press the YES button to change the display to “CPLAY MID”. 4 When access completes, the display changes to “C1 = AD = ”.

4-6. FUNCTIONS OF OTHER BUTTONS Function Contents · Sets continuous playback when pressed in the STOP state. When pressed during continuous playback, the tracking servo turns ON/OFF. Stops continuous playback and continuous recording. The sled moves to the outer circumference only when this is pressed. The sled moves to the inner circumference only when this is pressed.
SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS 5-1. PRECAUTIONS FOR CHECKING LASER DIODE EMISSINON To check the emission of the laser diode during adjustments, never view directly from the top as this may lose your eye-sight. Optical BD Board Pick-up IC171 D101 IC101, IC121, IC192 5-2.

5-6. LASER POWER ADJUSTMENT 5-5. TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION OFFSET Connection : ADJUTMENT Laser power Save the temperature data at that time in the non-volatile memory meter as 25 ˚C reference data. Note : Usually, do not perform this adjustment. Perform this adjustment in an ambient temperature of 22 ˚C Optical pick-up to 28 ˚C.
Page 18
5-7. TRAVERSE ADJUSTMENT 11. Rotate the AMS knob until the waveform of the oscilloscope moves closer to the specified value. Connection : In this adjustment, waveform varies at intervals of approx. 2%. Oscilloscope Adjust the waveform so that the specified value is satisfied as much as possible.
