2) Start service mode, and execute '1/2 POWER' of
'LASER' under 'FUNC'.
3) Turn VR1 counterclockwise so that the reading of
the Digital Multimeter is '20.0 ±0.2 mV'. (Take care
not to turn too fast; the reading will increase abruptly
at a certain point.)
4) Press the Stop key to stop the laser output.
5) Execute 'POWER' of '6 LASER' under 'FUNC'.
6) Turn VR2 counterclockwise so that the reading of
the Digital Multimeter is '44.8 ±0.4 mV'. (Take care
not to turn too fast; the reading will increase abruptly
at a certain point.)
7) Take notes of the reading of 'POWER' after
adjustment.
8) Press the Stop key to stop the laser output.
9) Perform laser intensity adjustment.
When turning the VR, turn it slowly while referring to
the reading of the Digital Multimeter; do not increase
the power excessively.
Turning the VR clockwise decreases the laser output.
Do not exceed the setting recorded on the label;
otherwise, the laser di ode may become damaged.

Be sure to adjust the laser power before making the
following adjustments
1) Start service mode, and execute 'FUNC > 6 LASER
> BIAS'
2) Take notes of the reading of the Digital Multimeter.
3) Press the Stop key to stop the laser output.
4) Compute the target value according to the
following formula:
Formula
P00 target:BIAS + 0.1 =
PFF target:
266/200/400lines(60.0
BIAS)× 0.7 + BIAS =
800lines(60.0 BIAS)×
0.57 + BIAS =
5) Execute 'FUNC > 6 LASER > 800 P00'
6) Turn VR3 counterclockwise so that the reading of
the Digital Multimeter is the P00 target value.
7) Press the Stop key to stop the laser output.
8) Execute 'FUNC > 6 LASER > 800 PFF'
9) Turn VR4 counterclockwise so that the reading of
the Digital Multimeter is the PFF target value.
10) Press the Stop key to stop the laser output.
11) Likewise, adjust the following volumes:
Execute the following in service mode, and use
VR5:'FUNCTION>LASER>400 P00'
Execute the following in service mode, and
use6:'FUNCTION>LASER>400 PFF'
