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 (
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.
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 ACtype 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.).

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 testers internal power
source can easily destroy the laser diode.
4. Handling the CD changer unit (optical pickup)
1. Do not subject the CD changer 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.

1. Remove the CD changer unit.
2. Disconnect the harness from connector on the CD motor

3. Solder is put up before the card wire is removed from connector
Cn601on the main board as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2.
(When the wire is removed without putting up solder, the
CD pick-up assembly might destroy.)
4. 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 33kohm to the IF sweeper output
side and 0.082 F and 100kohm in 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 MPX 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.
7. In the case of BTL connection amplifier, 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 OTL system.

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?
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.
YES
Check the eye-pattern at
O.K
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 would be adjusted when the pickup operates normally, the laser pickup may be
damaged due to excessive current.
