 DRIVE MANUAL OPERATION

Note: This mode is used for design, and not used in service fundamentally.
On the Test Mode Menu screen, press the [2] key on the remote commander, and the Operation Menu will be displayed. For the manual operation, each servo on/off control and adjustment can be executed manually.

In using the manual operation menu, take care of the following points. These commands do not provide protection, thus requiring correct operation. The sector address or time code field is displayed when a disc is loaded.

Note:
1. Set correctly the disc type to be used on the Disc Type screen.
2. In case of an alarm, exit the manual operation menu immediately to stop the servo operation, and press the I/1 button to turn the power off.

Basic operation:
