SECTION 1
PRECAUTION

1.1 Safety Precautions

(1) This design of th is product contains special hardw are 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 manufacturers 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 reassem­bling.
(5) Leakage shock hazard testing
After reassembling 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 per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF 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 measure 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.).

1.2 Warning

(1) This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
meet international safety standards.
(2) It is the legal resp onsibility 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 compone nts are replaced
by approved parts.
(5) If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local
voltage.

1.3 Caution 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.

1.4 Critical parts for safety

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. When replacing them, be sure to use the parts of the same type and rating as specified by the manufacturer. (This regulation dose not Except the J and C version)
each exposed metal part.
(No.MB124)1-3

1.5 Preventing 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.
1.5.1 Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Static electricity in the work area can destroy the optical pickup (laser dio de) in devices such as CD players. Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.
(1) Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sh eet) or an iron plate over it before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.
(2) Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.
(caption) Anti-static wrist strap
1M
Conductive material (conductive sheet) or iron palate
(3) Handling the optical pickup
• In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the re placement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition. (Refer to the text.)
• 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.

1.6 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) I t is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1 Maintenance of laser pickup (CD)

1. Cleaning the pickup lens
(1) Before you replace the pick up, please try to clean the
pickup lens.
(2) When cleaning the pickup lens with a alcoholsoaked
cotton swab.
2. Confirm the life of a 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 o f eye
pattern) will below.
(2) The drive current required for light emitting oflaser diode
will be increased.
Is the level of
RFOUT under
NO
Replace it.
0.9V 0.22Vp-p?
YES
O.K
3. Semi-fixed resistor on the APC board
The semi-fixed resistor on the APC 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.

5.2 Replacement of laser pickup (CD)

Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from a AC outlet.
Replace the pickup. (Refer to "Removing the pickup" on the previous page)
Insert the power cord in the AC outlet, and turn the power on. At this time, check that the laser emits for about 3 seconds and the objective lens moves up and down. Note: Do not observe the laser beam directly.
Play a disc.
Check the waveform of the eye-pattern at IC601 pin5.
Completion of changing the pickup.

5.3 Maintenance of laser pickup (MD)

1. Confirm the life of a laser diode
When the life of the laser diode has expired, the following symptoms will appear.
(1) Recording will become impossible. (2) The RF output (EFM output, amplitude of eye pattern)
will become lower.
(3) The drive current required for light emitting of laser diode
will be increased.
2. Confirm the service life according to the following flow
chart.
Is the
