4. MEASURE THE LASER CURRENT
CD DRIVE � LASER CURRENT MEASUREMENT
The laser current can be measured as a voltage drop on resistor 3820. Typical value 170 - 190mV for CD-DA respectively 200 - 220mV for CD-RW.

6. MEASURE THE OFFSETS OF THE CD10
SIGNAL PROCESSOR � OFFSET MEASUREMENT
Each ADC input of the CD10 may have an offset too. Also this offset leads (together with the offsets of the CD Drive) to poor playability of some CDs (skipping tracks). Start the Service Test Program - section �Focus Test� using a CD-RW disc. Use a DC Millivoltmeter for measurement. The offsets can be measured on capacitors near the signal processor. See drawing below.

5. MEASURE THE OFFSETS OF THE CD-DRIVE
CD DRIVE � OFFSET MEASUREMENT
Each photodiode of the CD-drive may have an offset. This offset has to be compensated by the signal processor. A high offset of the CD-drive leads to poor playability of some CDs (skipping tracks). Start the Service Test Program - section �Focus Test� without a CD. Focus sensitivity = CD-RW. Use a DC Millivoltmeter for measurement. The offsets can be measured direct on the connector. See drawing below.

The values from diode A-D should read 0±10mV. Diodes E and F are less critical.
