WARNING
OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK (KMS-190A) USING PRECAUTIONS
As the laser diode in the optical pick-up is easily damaged by static electricity, make a solder bridge on the laser tap of the flexible board when transporting or disconnecting from the connector of the board. Also carry out thorough anti static electricity measures. Handle the flexible board carefully as it is damaged easily.

WARNING
It may be possible that the OP Head Ass'y in the unit is damaged, if the Mech Deck itself turns upside down. In order to avoid such trouble during function checks, use some pillows as below.
