1. This design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components specially for safety
purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in
writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services
should be performed by qualified personnel only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design alterations of the product
should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer`s warranty and will further
relieve the manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related characteristics. These
characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily
be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which
have these special safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical
components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the Parts List in
the Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics
as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or
other hazards.
4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be
separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges for the prevention of
electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing and dress should be
observed, and it should be confirmed that they have been returned to normal, after re-assembling.
5. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the product
(antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the
product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage
current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000 ohms per volt or more
sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor
between an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC
voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part,
particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to
the chassis, and meausre the AC voltage across the resistor.
Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each
measurement. Voltage measured any must not exceed 0.75 V
AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).

1. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards.
2. It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that these safety standards are maintained.
3. Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant safety standards.
4. It is essential that safety critical components are replaced by approved parts.
5. If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local voltage.
Burrs formed during molding may
be left over on some parts of the
chassis. Therefore, pay attention to
such burrs in the case of
preforming repair of this system.
In regard with component parts appearing on the silk-screen printed side (parts side) of the PWB diagrams, the
parts that are printed over with black such as the resistor ( ), diode ( ) and ICP ( ) or identified by the " "
mark nearby are critical for safety.

Preventing static electricity
1. Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged,
can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.
2. About the earth processing for the destruction prevention by static electricity
In the equipment which uses optical pick-up (laser diode), optical pick-up is destroyed by the static electricity of
the work environment.
Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
2-1 Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over
it before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
2-2 Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(caption)
Anti-static wrist strap
Conductive material
(conductive sheet) or iron plate
3. Handling the optical pickup
1. In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the
replacement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition.
(Refer to the text.)
2. Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power
source can easily destroy the laser diode.
4. Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
1. Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit.
2. Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific
details, refer to the replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse
unit. Be careful not to take too long a time when attaching it to the connector.
3. Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force.
4. It is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it
Attention when traverse unit is decomposed
*Please refer to "Disassembly method" in the text for pick-up and how to
detach the CD traverse mechanism.
1. Remove the disk stopper and T. bracket on the CD changer mechanism
assembly.
2. Disconnect the harness from connector on the CD motor board.
3. CD traverse unit is put up as shown in Fig.1.
4. Solder is put up before the card wire is removed from connector CN601
on the CD servo control board as shown in Fig. 2.
(When the wire is removed without putting up solder, the CD pick-up
assembly might destroy.)
5. Please remove solder after connecting the card wire with CN601 when
you install picking up in the substrate.

Precautions for measurement
1. Apply 30pF and 33kto the IF sweeper output
side and 0.082F and 100kin series to the
sweeper input side.
2. The IF sweeper output level should be made as
low as possible within the adjustable range.
3. Since the IF sweeper is a fixed device, there is no
need to adjust this sweeper.
4. Since a ceramic oscillator is used, there is no need
to perform any MIX adjustment.
5. Since a fixed coil is used, there is no need to adjust
the FM tracking.
6. The input and output earth systems are separated.
In case of simultaneously measuring the voltage in
both of the input and output systems with an
electronic voltmeter for two channels, therefore, the
earth should be connected particularly carefully.
7. In the case of BTL connection amp., the minus
terminal of speaker is not for earthing. Therefore, be
sure not to connect any other earth terminal to this
terminal. This system is of an BTL system.
8. For connecting a dummy resistor when measuring
the output, use the wire with a greater code size.
9. Whenever any mixed tape is used, use the band
pass filter (DV-12).

Maintenance of laser pickup
(1) Cleaning the pick up lens
Before you replace the pick up, please try to
clean the lens with a alcohol soaked cotton
swab.
(2) Life of the laser diode
When the life of the laser diode has expired,
the following symptoms will appear.
1. The level of RF output (EFM output : ampli
tude of eye pattern) will below.
Is the level of
RFOUT under
1.25V 0.22Vp-p?
YES
O.K
NO
Replace it.
Replacement of laser pickup
Turn off the power switch and, disconnect the
power cord from the ac outlet.
Replace the pickup with a normal one.(Refer
to "Pickup Removal" on the previous page)
Plug the power cord in, and turn the power on.
At this time, check that the laser emits for
about 3seconds and the objective lens moves
up and down.
Note: Do not observe the laser beam directly.
Play a disc.
Check the eye-pattern at TP1.
Finish.
(3) Semi-fixed resistor on the APC PC board
The semi-fixed resistor on the APC printed circuit board which is attached to the pickup is used to adjust the laser
power. Since this adjustment should be performed to match the characteristics of the whole optical block, do not
touch the semi-fixed resistor.
If the laser power is lower than the specified value, the laser diode is almost worn out, and the laser pickup should
be replaced.
If the semi-fixed resistor is adjusted while the pickup is functioning normally, the laser pickup may be damaged
due to excessive current.
