The service manual is really great - thanks to it I was able to install the laser unit and thus "save" my CD-player, which seemed to be impossible before I had the manual.
Complete service manual in very good scanning quality with all schematic and PWB graphics as well as assembly & maintenance instructions. A slight drawback is that the rastering of the PWB graphics sometimes makes it a bit difficult to follow fine traces, but no showstopper.

Figure 4-13Removing the stabilizing pods
The pods connected to the bottom of the printer must be removed before the covers of the printer can be taken off. The end of the pod removal tool marked �L� removes the left pod; the end of the tool marked �R� removes the right. To release the pods: 1 2 Insert the pod removal tool into the slot below the corresponding pod, and press firmly. Lift the pods from the frame.
Alternate procedure:
1 2 Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, pry the plastic snaps open. Lift the pods from the frame.
