If extended damage is caused due to negligence of repair, the legal responsibility shall be with the repairing company. Caution in removal and making wiring connection to the parts for the automobile. Disconnect the battery terminal after turning the ignition key off. If wrong wiring connections are made with the battery connected, a short circuit and/or fire may occur. If extensive damage is caused due to negligence of repair, the legal responsibility shall be with the repairing company. Cautions regarding chips. Do not reuse removed chips even when no abnormality is observed in their appearance. Always replace them with new ones. (The chip parts include resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, etc). The negative pole of tantalum capacitors is highly susceptible to heat, so use special care when replacing them and check the operation afterwards. Cautions in handling flexible PWB Before working with a soldering iron, make sure that the iron tip temperature is around 270�. Take care not to apply the iron tip repeatedly(more than three times)to the same patterns. Also take care not to apply the tip with force. Turn the unit OFF during disassembly and parts replacement. Recheck all work before you apply power to the unit.

8. Cautions in checking that the optical pickup lights up. The laser is focused on the disc reflection surface through the lens of the optical pickup. When checking that the laser optical diode lights up, keep your eyes more than 30cms away from the lens. Prolonged viewing of the laser within 30cms may damage your eyesight. 9. Cautions in handling the optical pickup The laser diode of the optical pickup can be damaged by electrostatic charge caused by your clothes and body. Make sure to avoid electrostatic charges on your clothes or body, or discharge static electricity before handling the optical pickup. 9-1. Laser diode The laser diode terminals are shorted for transportation in order to prevent electrostatic damage. After replacement, open the shorted circuit. When removing the pickup from the mechanism, short the terminals by soldering them to prevent this damage. 9-2. Actuator The actuator has a powerful magnetic circuit. If a magnetic material is put close to it. its characteristics will change. Ensure that no foreign substances enter through the ventilation slots in the cover. 9-3. Cleaning the lens Dust on the optical lens affects performance. To clean the lens, apply a small amount of isopropylalcohol to lens paper and wipe the lens gently.
