Maintenance Features:

This document primarily serves as a service manual, providing detailed exploded views and parts lists for maintenance and repair.

Self-Diagnosis Support: The manual indicates that the model supports self-diagnosis, which can aid in troubleshooting.
Parts Identification: Exploded views are provided for various sections, including the overall assembly, front panel, chassis sections, and DVD mechanism deck. These diagrams help technicians identify and locate specific components.
Critical Components: Components marked with "O" or a dotted line with "O" are identified as critical for safety. The manual explicitly states that these should only be replaced with specified part numbers to ensure safety and proper operation.
Part Availability Notes:
- Parts marked with "-XX" or "-X" are standardized parts that may have slight differences from the original.
- Items marked with "*" are not typically stocked due to infrequent demand for routine service, and ordering these may incur delays.
Mechanism Type and Optical Pick-up: The manual specifies the mechanism type as CDM69EH-DVBU101 and the optical pick-up name as KHM-310CAB/C2NP, which are crucial details for ordering replacement parts for the DVD/CD drive.
