JIG FOR CHECKING BD BOARD WAVEFORM The special jig (J-2501-149-A) is useful for checking the waveform of the BD board. The manes of terminals and the checking items to be performed are shown as follows. GND : Ground I + 3 V : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser) : For measuring IOP (Check the deterioration of the optical pick-up laser) : TRK error signal (Traverse adjustment) : Reference level for checking the signal...
