Complete service manual in very good scanning quality with all schematic and PWB graphics as well as assembly & maintenance instructions. A slight drawback is that the rastering of the PWB graphics sometimes makes it a bit difficult to follow fine traces, but no showstopper.
Purchased the manual that I was looking for at a great price and could download it easily.. Great service experience and for future purchases I plan to use the site. Thank you very much
I searched the Internet exhaustively for this manual and Owner-Manuals was the least expensive...but provided an excellent reproduction within 4 hours. Very satisified.

5) SBAD Signal Circuit unit
In this unit, outputs from the photo detector, namely, E and F are processed through the addition amplifier. That is, E and F are added together and (E+F) signal is output from #15 pin of IC101 (TA2153FN), as SBAD signal. This SBAD signal, along with Focus Error signal, is used as one of the conditions that the system uses to internally judge Focus ON/OFF based on them. Also, SBAD signal is used to detect defects: defects that may be detected when the Pickup passes a scratch on the disk, for instance.
