Antenna Plug Adapror (EB only) 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). - Handling of traverse deck (optical pickup) 1.
Page 6
- Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention 1. Human body grounding Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity from your body. 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. Caution : The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded through the wrist strap.

Step 2 Remove the top cabinet. Step 3 Remove the T-bracket.
Page 14
Step 5 Turn locating pin on both sides 90°. (Locating pin need not to be bent back.) Step 6 Release the wires CN302, CN303, CN304, CN309 and CN502. Remove rear panel by pulling it backward and lift the rear panel assembly.
Page 15
Step 7 Use a hexagonal wrench and turn clockwise to release the tray. Step 8 Pull the CD tray in the direction shown above.
Page 16
Step 9 Remove the CD lid in the direction of the arrow. Step 11 Release the two catches shown above to remove the front cabinet from the CD traverse unit.
Step 12 Connect back the wire to CN302, CN303 and CN304. Use the extension wire (REXX0261) to connect to CN502. Use a FFC wire (REEX0137) to connect CN1 to CN309. 8.1.2. Checking of the Power P.C.B.
8.2. Main Component Replacement Procedures 1. Replacement of the Traverse Deck Step 1 Follow the procedures in ‘Disassembly of the Traverse Unit’ ( Step 1 - Step 4 ) Step 3 Desolder the 4 legs of the 2 motors and pull out the Servo P.C.B. Step 4 Widen the 3 bosses with a flat screwdriver and pull out the 3 pins.
Page 19
Step 5 Remove the flexible cable CN 701. - Removal of the flexible cable. Push the top of the connector in the direction of the arrow 1, and then pull out the flexible cable in the direction of the arrow 2. Note: Insert a short pin into the flexible cable for traverse unit.
Before installing the CD servo P.C.B., move the optical pickup towards the outer edge from the marking (black triangle). [Otherwise, the reset detect switch (S701) mounted on the CD servo P.C.B. may be damaged.] 2.
