WARNING: Laser Safety
This product contains a laser beam component. This component may emit invisible, as well as visible radiation, which may
cause eye damage. To protect your eyes and skin from laser radiation, the following precautions must be used during
servicing of the unit.

1) When testing and/or repairing any component within the product, keep your eyes and skin more than 30 cm away from
the laser pick-up unit at all times. Do not stare at the laser beam at any time.

2) Do not attempt to readjust, disassemble or repair the laser pick-up, unless noted elsewhere in this manual.

3) CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.


Laser Emitting conditions:
1. This device is a Class IIIb laser device.

Class IIIb means
With the protective case removed, exposure to the light output from the laser, either directly or reflected by a mirror, can
cause harm to the eyes, but there is no danger to the eyes from exposure to dispersed reflected laser light. (Generally 0.5
W or less)

2. Always wear eyeglasses designed for protection against laser light.
3. Always wear gloves.
4. Have no reflective objects anywhere near this device.
5. Figure A shows from where in this device the laser is emitted.
6. When switching on the power to the device for the first time, always measure the laser power with a laser power meter
and check that the power is no greater than the number of Watts in the specifications.
7. Never look directly at the laser light while the laser is emitting light.
8. Do not allow the laser light to shine directly on your skin while the laser is emitting light.

PROTECTION OF EYES FROM LASER BEAM DURING SERVICING
This set employs a laser. Therefore, be sure to carefully Laser Radiation Point
follow the instructions below when servicing.

1. Laser Diode Properties
· Material : GaAlAs
· Wavelength : 779-789 nm
· Emission Duration : Pulse
· Laser Output : DC erase mode max. 20mW (Continuous)
Write mode max. 62mW
(Max. Cycle 111 ns, Min. Cycle 30 ns at Max. Speed)

This output is the value measured at the lens of the Laser Pickup
Unit.

2. When checking the laser diode emission, keep your eyes more than
30 cm away from the objective lens.

CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.

s PREVENTION OF ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and
semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by
electro static discharge (ESD).
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by
touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be
removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to
prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static (ESD protected)" can generate
electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most
replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable
conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the
chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing
together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an
ES device).


Grounding for electro static breakdown prevention
1. Human body grounding:
Use an anti static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity
from your body. Anti-static wrist strap

2. Work table grounding: 1M

Put a grounded conductive material (sheet) or iron sheet on
the area where the optical pickup is placed.
Caution:
The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded
through the wrist strap. So take care not to let your clothes Conductive material
(sheet) or iron sheet
touch the optical pickup.
