CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra-
diation exposure.
Notes on chip component replacement
•Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
•Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C dur-
ing repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 ˚C higher than
ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350 ˚C .
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky , less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur
such as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

Notes
• For use in your house: Use the AC power
adaptor. Do not use an AC power adaptor
other than the recommended one since it may
cause the recorder to malfunction.
• There are regional differences in the supplied
AC power adaptor specifications. For this
reason, you should verify that the power
requirements and plug configuration are
appropriate for your area before you purchase
the recorder.
• Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily
accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an
abnormality in the AC power adaptor,
disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static break-down because of the potential difference generated
by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human
body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
(LCX-5R)
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static break-down easily. When handling it, perform soldering
bridge to the laser-tap on the flexible board. Also perform mea-
sures against electrostatic break-down sufficiently before the op-
eration. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled
with care.

SERVICING NOTES
laser-tap
•The shipment data will be cleared when the NV is reset. There-
fore, change the NV adjusted values following the Change of
NV Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset. (See
page 18)
•This set requires the patch data in the nonvolatile memory
(IC802) to be rewritten using the application, when the MAIN
board or nonvolatile memory (IC852) was replaced. (See page
28)
• In perf orming the repair with the power supplied to the set, re-
moving the MAIN board causes the set to be disabled.
In such a case, make a solder bridge to short SL802 (OPEN/
CLOSE) on the MAIN board in advance.

TEST MODE
Outline
•This set provides the Overall adjustment mode that allows CD
and MO discs to be automatically adjusted when in the test mode.
In this overall adjustment mode, the disc is discriminated be-
tween CD and MO, and each adjustment is automatically ex-
ecuted in order. If a fault is found, the system displays its loca-
tion. Also, the manual mode allo ws each indi vidual adjustment
to be automatically adjusted.
• Operation in the test mode is performed with the set.
Setting Method of Test Mode
Short SL803 (TEST) on the MAIN board with a solder bridge
(connect pin <zx. . of IC801 to the ground). Then, turn on the po wer .
Note: If electrical adjustment (CD and MO overall adjustment) has not
been finished completely, “ERROR” is displayed on LCD of the
set.

Operation in Setting the Test Mode
•When the test mode becomes active, first the display check mode
is selected.
• Other mode can be selected from the display check mode.
•When the test mode is set, the LCD repeats the following dis-
play.
• When the u/ENTER key is pressed and hold down, the dis-
play at that time is held so that display can be checked.
Releasing the Test Mode
Turn off the power and open the solder bridge on SL803 (TEST)
on the MAIN board.
Note: Remove the solders completely. Remaining could be shorted with
the chassis, etc.

Configuration of Test Mode
Manual Mode
Mode to adjust or check the operation of the set by function.
Normally, the adjustment in this mode is not executed.
However, the Manual mode is used to clear the memory, power
supply adjustment, and laser power check before performing au-
tomatic adjustments in the Overall Adjustment mode.
•Transition Method in Manual Mode
1. Set the test mode (see page 13).
2. Press the > to activate the manual mode where the LCD
display as shown below.
3. During each test, the optical pick-up moves outward or in-
ward while the
> or . key is pressed for several sec-
onds respectively.
4. Each test item is assigned with a 3-digit item number;
100th place is a major item, 10th place is a medium item, and
unit place is a minor item.
The values adjusted in the test mode are written to the non-
volatile memory (for the items where adjustment was made).

Normally, automatic adjustment is executed in this mode at the

Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode
This set uses the self-diagnostic function system in which if an
error occurred during the recording or playing, the mechanism
control block and the power supply control block in the micro-
computer detect it and record its cause as history in the nonvola-
tile memory.
By checking this history in the test mode, you can analyze a fault
and determine its location.
Total recording time is recorded as a guideline of how long the
optical pick-up has been used, and by comparing it with the total
recording time at the time when an error occurred in the self-diag-
nosis result display mode, you can determine when the error oc-
curred.
Clear both self-diagnosis history data and total recording time, if
the optical pick-up was replaced.
• Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode Setting Method
1. Set the test mode (see page 13).
2. In the display check mode, press the [GROUP] key activates
the self-diagnosis result display mode where the LCD display
as shown below.
3. Then, each time the
> key is pressed, LCD display descends
by one as shown below. Also, the LCD display ascends by one
when the . key is pressed.
If the [GROUP] key is pr essed with this display , the LCD switches
to the simple display mode.
