Information for using a car audio service jig
(1) We're advancing efforts to make our extension cords common for all car audio products.
Please use this type of extension cord as follows.
(2) As a U-shape type top cover is employed, this type of extension cord is needed to check operation of the mechanism assembly
after disassembly.
(3) Extension cord : EXTKSRT002-6P ( 6 pin extension cord ) For connection bn etween mechanism assembly and main board.
(4) Check for mechanism driving section such as motor ,etc.
Disassembly method
(1) Remove the front panel assembly.
(2) Remove the bottom cover.
(3) Remove the front chassis assembly.
(4) Remove the heat sink.
(5) Remove the rear panel.
(6) Remove the main board.
(7) Reattach the heat sink with the screw B and two screws C. (Refer to Disassembly method.)
(8) Reattach the rear panel with the screw F. (Refer to Disassembly method.)
(9) Reattach the front chassis assembly with the screw A. (Refer to Disassembly method.).
(10) Reattach the front panel assembly.
(11) Confirm that current is being carried by connecting an extension cord jig.
Note:
Available to connect to the CJ701
CAUTION:
Be sure to attach the heat sink and rear panel on the power amplifier IC and regulator IC of a main board when supplying
the power.
If voltage is applied without attaching those parts, the power amplifier IC and regulator IC will be destroyed by heat.

Head height adjustment
Adjust the azimuth directly. When you
adjust the height using a mirror tape,
remove the cassette housing from the
mechanism chassis.
After installing thecassette housing,
perform the azimuth adjustment.
Load the SCC-1659 mirror tape. Adjust with
1.
height adjustment screw A and azimuth
adjustment screw B so that line A of the
mirror tape runs in the center between Lch
and Rch in the reverse play mode.
After switching from REV to FWD then to
2.
REV, check that the head position set in
procedure 1 is not changed. (If the position
has shifted, adjust again and check.)
Adjust with azimuth adjustment screw B so

Head azimuth adjustment
Load VT724 (1kHz) and play it back in

Set the Rch output level to max.
Load VT703 (10kHz) and play it back in
2.
the forward play mode. Adjust the Rch
and Lch output levels to max, with
azimuth adjustment screw B. In this case,
the phase difference should be within 45 .
Engage the reverse mode and adjust the
3.
output level to max, with azimuth
adjustment screw C.
(The phase difference should be 45 or
more.)
When switching between forward and
4.
reverse modes, the difference between
channels should be within 3dB. (Between
FWD L and R, REV L and R.)
