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.
AC VOLTMETER
(Having 1000
ohms/volts,
or more sensitivity)
Move the resistor connection to eachexposed 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.).
0.15 F AC TYPE
1500 10W
Place this
probe on
each exposed
metal part.
This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
Good earth ground
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.

Attention when MD pick up is exchanged
1. About the static electricity protection measures
The laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pick up) is easy to be destroyed by clothes and the human body
to the electrified static electricity.
Please note the explosion by static electricity when repairing.
2. About the earth processing for the electrostatic destruction prevention
In the equipment which uses an optical pick up (laser diode), an optical pick up is destroyed by the static
electricity of the work environment.
Please do the earth processing and work.
1) Earth of work stand
Please pull the conductive material (conductive sheet) or the iron plate to the depository
place of the traverse unit (optical pick up), and take the earth to ground.
2) Human body earth
Please use the anti-static wrist strap to exhaust the electrified static electricity to the human body.
anti-static wrist strap
Conductive material (conductive
sheet) or the iron plate
3. Handling the optical pick up
1) Please return according to a correct procedure based on short processing after exchanging
parts.
2) Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pick up .The tester 's internal
power source can easily destroy the laser diode.
4. Attention when unit is disassembled
Please refer to "Disassembling method" for how to detach .
1) Please be sure to solder before a flexible wire is removed from connector on a main printed
circuit board as shown.
if you removes without soldering.the MD picking up assembly might destroy
2) When installing , solder in the part of short round should be removed after a flexible wire is connected with
connector.

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
0.35Vp-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.
