Denon DCD-1450 laser measurements, TE, FE servos

Apr 14, 2005 1 Replies

Hi there,



I'd like to know if any of you has got the service manual for the Denon dcd-1450, and can check how the laser diode current can be measured. The player has a Sharp laser, and the laser has a small board, which has a chip and some smd parts. One of them is a 22 Ohm resistor, I guess that is the one to measure the voltage accross and calculate the laser current. Can anybody tell me if it's correct, and if not, how to check this with this player?



Another question, the same player. I cannot see any potentiometers on the servo board, so I don't know how it is possible to set up the focus and tracking servos. (I miss at least potmeters, F gain, T gain, F offset, T offset). Anybody knows the reason? m127


on newer players these adjustments are done electronically and stored in eeprom, if you want to change them you need to find out the secret handshake to get into service mode.

Be warned, you can get lost in there and change adjustments accidently that are very hard to get back correctly.
