1 Safety Precautions

1.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or
damaged by the short circuit.

2. After servicing, ensure that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.

3. After servicing, check for leakage current checks to prevent from being exposed to shock hazards.

1.1.1. LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK

1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug.

2. Using an ohmmeter measure the resistance value, between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on
the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the
chassis, the reading should be between 1MΩ and 5.2Ω.
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be

.

Fig. 1

1.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See Figure 1.)

1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.

2. Connect a 1.5kΩ, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15µF capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a
good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor.

4. Check each expose d metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.

5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.

6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may
be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. Should the measurement is outside of the limits
specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and re-checked before it is returned
to the customer.

2 Before Repair and Adjustment

Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C301, C131, C231, C310, C307, C309 and C331 through a 10 Ω,1W
resistor to ground. DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screw driver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state
devices.

After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent.

Current consum ption at AC 220 V, 50 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~180 mA respectively.

Current consum ption at AC 240 V, 60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~129 mA respectively.

3 Protection Circuitry

The protection circuitry may have operated if either of the following conditions are noticed:

· No sound is heard when the power is turned on.

· Stops during a performance.

The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connec tion wires are
“shorted”, or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used.

If this occurs, follow the procedure outline s below:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.

3. Turn on the power once again after one minute.

Note:

When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first turned off and then on again.

4 Handling the Lead Solder

4.1. About lead free solder (PbF)

Distinction of PbF P.C.B. :

P.C.B.s (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp on the P.C.B.

Caution:

· Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50 - 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher.

Please use a high temperature soldering iron. In case of the soldering iron with temperature control, please set it to 700 ± 20°F
(370 ± 10°C).

· Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/600°C).

· W hen soldering or unsoldering, please completely remove all of the solder on the pins or solder area, and be sure to heat the

soldering points with the Pb free solder until it melts enough.

5 Precaution of Laser Diode

Caution :

This product utilizes a laser diode with the unit turned "ON", invisible laser radiation is emitted from the pick up lens.
Wavelength : 780 nm
Maximum output radiation power from pick up : 100 µW/VDE
Laser radiation from pick up unit is safety level, but be sure the followings:

1. Do not disassemble the optical pick up unit, since radiation from exposed laser diode is dangerous.

2. Do not adjust the variable resistor on the pick up unit. It was already adjusted.

3. Do not look at the focus lens using optical instruments.

4. Recommend not to look at pick up lens for a long time.

ACHTUNG :

Dieses Produkt enthält eine Laserdiode. Im eingeschalteten Zustand wird unsichtbare Laserstrahlung von der Lasereinheit
abgestrahlt.
Wellenlänge : 780nm
Maximale Strahlungsleistung der Lasereinheit :100µW/VDE
Die Strahlung an der Lasereinheit ist ungefährlich, wenn folgende Punkte beachtet werden:

1. Die Lasereinheit nicht zerlegen, da die Strahlung an der freigelegten Laserdiode gefährlich ist.

2. Den werkseitig justierten Einstellregler der Lasereinhit nicht verstellen.

3. Nicht mit optischen Instrumenten in die Fokussierlinse blicken.

4. Nicht über längere Zeit in die Fokussierlinse blicken.

ADVARSEL :

I dette a apparat anvendes laser.

CAUTION!

THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT
IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

6 Handling Precautions For Traverse Deck

The laser diode in the traverse deck (optical pickup) may break
down due to potential difference caused by static electricity of
clothes or human body.

So, be careful of electrostatic breakdown during repair of the
traverse deck (optical pickup).

l Handling of CD traverse deck (optical pickup)

1. Do not subject the traverse deck (optical pickup) to
static electricity as it is extremely sensitive to electrical
shock.

2. The short land between the No.4 (LD) and No.5 (GND)
pins on the flexible board (FFC) is shorted with a solder
build-up to prevent damage to the laser diode.

3. Take care not to apply excessive stress to the flexible
board (FPC board) (Fig 6.1).

4. Do not turn the variable resistor (laser power
adjustment). It has already been adjusted.

Fig 6.1

l Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention

1. Human body grounding (Fig 6.2)

Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static
electricity from your body.

2. Work table grounding (Fig 6.2)

Put a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the
area where the traverse deck (optical pickup) is placed,
and ground the sheet.

Caution :

The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded
through the wrist strap. So, take care not to let your
clothes touch the traverse deck (optical pickup).

Fig 6.2

Caution when Replacing the Optical Pickup :

The traverse has a short point shorted with solder to protect
the laser diode against electrostatics breakdown. Be sure to
remove the solder from the short point before making
connections.
