When the power cord is plugged into an AC household outlet or the unit is loaded with the
batteries, Demonstration Mode starts. To cancel the Demonstration mode, press the
POWER button or hold the BBS button pressed for more than 3 seconds.
When the unit is moved to a location where the temperature is around 0 degrees C to a
warm location, the unit may not function properly. It is due to condensation generated
inside the unit. Leave the unit for about one hour to let it dry before normal operation.

Precautions
To prevent damage caused by static electricity, the following procedures for grounding is required when opening
or repairing the unit.
1. Grounding for the human body
Be sure to put on a wrist-strap for grounding (with impedance lower than 106 Ω) whose other end is grounded.
The strap works to drain away the static electricity build-up on the human body.
2. Grounding for the work table
Be sure to lay on the table a conductive sheet (with impedance lower than 106 Ω) such as a sheet of copper
which is grounded.
3. As static electricity build-up on clothes is not drainded away, be careful not to let your clothes touch the unit.
4. The short-pad on the pick-up PCB of a spare part is short-circuited for protection during shipment. To open
the short circuit, remove the soldering quickly with a soldering iron whose insulation resistance is larger than
10MΩ after connection to a suitable APC circuit.
Short-pad on pickup PCB
[Note] After the wire connector is
connected, desolder( short-pad).
* Check circuit around
and soldering IC703.
* Check IC701 and IC702.

Even if an MD is loaded, “NO DISC” or
“ERROR” appears.
Playback sound is interrupted.
Remote controller is not possible.
The unit under DEMONSTRATION mode.
Due to dew condensation of inside, the unit cannot
work properly.
The unit is used in a location subject to shock and
vibration.
The condition of the disc is bad. Dirt, scratches or warp
exists.

A pre-recorded MD (MD only for play) is used.
MD is in a state of TOC FULL.
The disc is scratched.
MD is used in an unstable location subject to vibration.
Condensation has occurred.
