Tracking Servo
The tracking servo is turned on after focus is found (FOK = HIGH). This
servo results in a periodic track correction signal that looks like about
400mV of noise at the TE test point.

When the tracking loop is open, the laser is no longer following the data
track. In the following scope shot, the RFO waveform in channel 1 shows
the laser is seeing alternate areas of RF data (teeth) and no data (gaps).
Channel 2 shows there is TE correction signal generated from IC103/pin
13, but it is not reaching the tracking coil for correction.

Spindle Servo
Although the spindle motor has started when focus was found (FOK =
HIGH), its lock onto the data does not occur until about 800msec later. At
that time the LOCK signal goes HIGH.

Scope ground is taken at Vc (IC103/pin 12)
At this time, the RFO signal should be at least 1Vp-p (1.2Vp-p = normal)
and the RFO waveform should be straight on top and bottom (no drop-
outs).
Once the LOCK test point goes HIGH, the servos are all working and
audio should output if that processing within IC101 is OK.
