Flexible Circuit Board Repairing

•Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270°C

during repairing.

•Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the

circuit board (within 3 times).

•Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering

or unsoldering.

Notes on chip component replacement

•Never reuse a disconnected chip component.

•Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be

damaged by heat.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous

radiation exposure.

MZ-R501/R501PC SECTION 1

SERVICING NOTE

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP

BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

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

static 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

Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when

checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK

(LCX-4R)

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

static break-down easily. When handling it, perform soldering

bridge to the laser-tap on the flexible board. Also perform mea-

sures against electrostatic break-down sufficiently before the op-

eration. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled

with care.

OPTICAL PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD

• In performing the repair with the power supplied to the set,

removing the MAIN board causes the set to be disabled.

In such a case, fix a convex part of the open/close detect switch

(S806 on MAIN board) with a tape in advance.

Handle the FLEXIBLE board (overwrite head) with care, as it

has been soldered directly to the MAIN board.

In repairing the component side of MAIN board, connect the

FLEXIBLE board (overwrite head) and the MAIN board with

the lead wires in advance. (See page 7)

• Replacement of CDX2671-204GA (IC801) used in this set

requires a special tool.

• On the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, some

adjusted values were set in the manual mode at the shipment,

but these data will be cleared when the NV is reset. Therefore,

on the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, change the

adjusted values following the Change of Adjusted Values

immediately after the NV was reset. (See page 17)

TEST MODE

4-3. Operation in Setting the Test Mode

•When the test mode becomes active, first the display check mode

is selected.

•Other mode can be selected from the display check mode.

•When the test mode is set, the LCD repeats the following dis-

play.

•When the Xkey is pressed and hold down, the display at that

time is held so that display can be checked.

4-4. Releasing the Test Mode

For test mode set with the method 1:

Turn off the power and open the solder bridge on TAP801 (TEST)

on the MAIN board.

Note: Remove the solders completely. Remaining could be shorted

with the chassis, etc.

For test mode set with the method 2:

Turn off the power.

Note: If electrical adjustment (see page 17) has not been finished

completely, always start in the test mode. (The set cannot

start in normal mode)

4-1. Outline

•This set provides the Overall adjustment mode that allows CD

and MO discs to be automatically adjusted when in the test mode.

In this overall adjustment mode, the disc is discriminate between

CD and MO, and each adjustment is automatically executed in

order. If a fault is found, the system displays its location. Also,

the manual mode allows each individual adjustment to be auto-

matically adjusted.

4-2. Setting Method of Test Mode

There are two different methods to set the test mode:

1Short TAP801 (TEST) on the MAIN board with a solder bridge

(connect pin 3 of IC801 to the ground). Then, turn on the

power.

Mode to adjust or check the operation of the set by function.

Normally, the adjustment in this mode is not executed.

However, the Manual mode is used to clear the memory, power

supply adjustment, and laser power check before performing

automatic adjustments in the Overall Adjustment mode.

• Transition method in Manual Mode

1. Setting the test mode (see page 11).

2. Press the >or[VOL +] key activates the manual mode where

the LCD display as shown below.

3. During each test, the optical pick-up moves outward or in-

ward while the >or .key is pressed for several sec-

onds respectively.

4. Each test item is assigned with a 3-digit item number;

100th place is a major item, 10th place is a medium item, and

unit place is a minor item.

The values adjusted in the test mode are written to the

nonvolatile memory (for the items where adjustment was

made).

4-8. Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode

This set uses the self-diagnostic function system in which if an

error occurred during the recording or playing, the mechanism

control block and the power supply control block in the

microcomputer detect it and record its cause as history in the

nonvolatile memory.

By checking this history in the test mode, you can analyze a fault

and determine its location.

Total recording time is recorded as a guideline of how long the

optical pickup has been used, and by comparing it with the total

recording time at the time when an error occurred in the self-

diagnosis result display mode, you can determine when the error

occurred.

Clear both self-diagnosis history data and total recording time, if

the optical pickup was replaced.

• Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode Setting Method

1. Setting the test mode (see page 11).

2. In the display check mode, press the [ENTER] key activates the

self-diagnosis result display mode where the LCD display as

shown below.

3. Then, each time the >key is pressed, LCD display descends

by one as shown below. Also, the LCD display ascends by one

when the .key is pressed.

4. Quit the self-diagnosis result display mode, and press the xkey

to return to the test mode (display check mode).

5. The display changes a shown below each time the

[ENTER] key on the set is pressed.

However in the power mode (item number 700’s), only the

item is displayed.

6. Quit the manual mode, and press the xkey to return to the

test mode (display check mode).

4-7. Overall Adjustment Mode

Mode to adjust the servo automatically in all items.

Normally, automatic adjustment is executed in this mode at the

repair.

ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS

5-1. Outline

•In this set, automatic adjustment of CD and MO can be per-

formed by entering the test mode (see page 11).

However, before starting automatic adjustment, the memory

clear, power supply adjustment, and laser power check must be

performed in the manual mode.

•A key having no particular description in the text, indicates a

set key.

•For the LCD display, the LCD display on the set is shown.

5-2. Precautions for Adjustment

1. Adjustment must be done in the test mode only.

After adjusting, release the test mode.

2. Use the following tools and measuring instruments.

•Test CD disc TDYS-1

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

•SONY MO disc available on the market

•Digital voltmeter

•Laser power meter LPM-8001

(Part No. : J-2501-046-A)

•Thermometer (using the Temperature Correction)

3. Unless specified otherwise, supply DC 3V from the DC IN

3V jack (J601).

4. Switch position

HOLD switch ............................................... OFF

5-3. Adjustment Sequence

5-4. NV Reset

Caution: In this set, certain adjustment values are set in the manual

mode at the factory. NV Reset will cause these data to

be cleared. So, the adjustment values should be set again

just after NV Reset is made.

1. NV Reset(Memory clear)

2. Power Supply Manual Adjustment

3. Temperature Correction(item number:014)
