1 Before Use

Be sure to disconnect the mains cord before adjusting the voltage selector.

Use a minus(-) screwdriver to set the voltage selector (on the rear panel) to the voltage setting for the area in which the unit will be used. (If the power supply in your area is 117V or 120V, set to the “127V” position.)

Note that this unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly. (There is no voltage selector for some countries, the correct voltage is already set.)

2 Before Repair and Adjustment

Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C5820 and C5840 through a 10Ω, 5W resistor to ground.

DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices.

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

Current consumption at AC 127 V, 50/60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode (volume min at CD mode) should be ~500mA.

Current consumption at AC 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode (volume min at CD mode) should be ~350mA.

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.

· Sound stops during a performance.

The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connection 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 outlines 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 Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatica lly Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field- effect transistors and semiconductor “chip” components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electro static discharge (ESD).

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminium foil, to prevent electrostatic charge build up or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder remover device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti- static (ESD protected)” can generate electrical charge to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propell ed chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminium foil or comparable conductive material).

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

Caution

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

SA-AK23 0GCP

8. Minimize body motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device).

5 Handling the Lead-free Solder

5.1. About lead free solder (PbF)

Distinction of PbF P.C.B.:

P.C.B.s (manufacture d) 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 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.

SA-AK23 0GCP

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).

· Handling of 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. To prevent the breakdown of the laser diode, an antistatic shorting pin is inserted into the flexible board (FFC board).

3. Take care not to apply excessive stress to the flexible board (FFC board). When removing or connecting the short pin, finish the job in as short time as possible.

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

Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention

1. Human body grounding

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

2. Work table grounding

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

Caution when replacing the Traverse Deck

The traverse deck 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.

7 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.

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.
