Hello,

Before you start playing with adjustments, I would suggest cleaning the
sled rails and lens as suggested by other posters. There is also a
common problem with the focus coil drive transistors because an
under-sized transistor was used. (This problem also occurs in the 5000
and 5440) Replace Q102 with a 2SD669 or similar transistor, and replace
Q103 with a 2SB649 or similar. Also look for overheated solder joints
in the area of the transistors.

Hi guys.

I'm searching for the above since the player has started skipping towards
the end of a CD (tracking offset problem?).

The board is rev. issue 1A and there are five potentiometers; VR101, 102 to
105. Which one solves the tracking problem?

Any help appreciated :-)
