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, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
3. After servicing, carry out the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer 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. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, 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 5.2MΩ.
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be
1.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
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 exposed 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. In case a measurement is outside of the limits
specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to
the customer.
Figure 1
1.2. Before Repair and Adjustment
Disconnect AC power to discharge unit AC Capacitors as such C701, C702, C703, C704, C705, C706, C707, C748 through a 10
Ω, 10 W resistor to ground.
Caution:
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 240 V, 50 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode volume minimal should be ~ 600 mA.
1.3. Protection Circuitry

2 Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically 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
aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup 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 removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static (ESD protected)" can
generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled 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, aluminum 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.
8. Minimize bodily 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).

4 About Lead Free Solder (PbF)
4.1. Service caution based on legal restrictions
4.1.1. General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF)
The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this
equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.
The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin
(Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30 degrees C (86°F) more than that
of the normal solder.
Definition of PCB Lead Free Solder being used
The letter of “PbF” is printed either foil side or components side on the PCB using the lead free solder.
(See right figure)
Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)
•
• The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.
• •
(Definition: The letter of “PbF” is printed on the PCB using the lead free solder.)
•
• To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.
• •
•
• Remove the remaining lead free solder on the PCB cleanly for soldering of the new IC.
• •
•
• Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt
• •
the lead free solder.
•
• Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30
• •
degrees C (662±86°F).
Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)
•
• The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route.
* Ingredient: tin (Sn), 96.5%, silver (Ag) 3.0%, Copper (Cu) 0.5%, Cobalt (Co) / Germanium (Ge) 0.1 to 0.3%

5 Handling Precautions for Traverse Unit
The laser diode in the optical pickup unit may break down due to static electricity of clothes or human body. Special care must be
taken avoid caution to electrostatic breakdown when servicing and handling the laser diode.
5.1. Cautions to Be Taken in Handling the Optical Pickup Unit
The laser diode in the optical pickup unit may be damaged due to electrostatic discharge generating from clothes or human body.
Special care must be taken avoid caution to electrostatic discharge damage when servicing the laser diode.
1. Do not give a considerable shock to the optical pickup unit as it has an extremely high-precise structure.
2. To prevent the laser diode from the electrostatic discharge damage, the flexible cable of the optical pickup unit removed should
be short-circuited with a short pin or a clip.
3. The flexible cable may be cut off if an excessive force is applied to it. Use caution when handling the flexible cable.
4. The antistatic FPC is connected to the newoptical pickupunit. After replacing the optical pickup unit and connecting the flexible
cable, cut off the antistatic FPC.
5.2. Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention

6 HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Handling Care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a
very special device that is easily susceptible to damage.
The H
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may
no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead
from the household AC mains socket . In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.
Back up the HDD periodically
As a precaution for HDD failure, we recommend making a backup of the HDD periodically. However, in some cases where the
HDD is heavily damaged, backups may not be restored.
Immediately request service as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds ordistortion ("broken up" audio) may result. Using the HDD in
this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this
type of problem, request service. Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.
DD
is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust
Setup precautions
Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear
cooling fan is covered up.
Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject
to vibrati o n or impact.
Do not place on anything that
generates heat like a video
cassette recorder, etc.
Do not place in an area often
subject to temperature changes.
Place in an area where condensation does not occur.
Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a
cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature.
Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit.
Conditions where condensation may occur
When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving
from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice
versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when
cooled air directly impacts the unit.) When the HDD
(warms during operation) is subjected to cold air,
condensation may form on the inside of the HDD and may
cause damage to the HDD heads, etc.
When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room.
During the rainy season.
In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the
unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2 3 hours until
condensation is gone.
Cigarette smoke, etc. causes malfunction
or breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/
vapor, etc. gets inside the unit.
While operating
Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The
HDD may become damaged.)
Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household AC
mains socket, or flip the power breaker switch.
While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound
or movement due to rotation is normal.
When moving the unit
1.
Remove the CD.
2.
Turn the unit off.
3.
After "GOOD-BYE" is finished displaying, remove the
plug from the wall within 2 minutes, or wait until
conversion and analysis is complete to remove the AC
mains lead from the household mains socket.
4.
Once the HDD is no longer rotating and has come to a
complete stop (after waiting about 2 minutes), move
the unit carefully so as to avoid any vibration or shock.
(After the power has been turned off, the HDD will
briefly continue to rotate due to inertia.)
After the power to the unit has been turned off, (unit enters
"Standby Mode"), if there are recorded tracks that have not
yet been converted or analyzed, the HDD will begin
conversion and analysis of these recorded tracks after about
2 minutes.
During conversion/analysis:
Do not remove the AC mains lead.
If you are using an extension cord and/or power strip with a
power switch, do not switch the power to off.

9 New Features
9.1. As a Music Jukebox (Using HDD)
Recording
This unit can record audio to the internal HDD from a variety of sources including commerical CDs, radio, music files (WMA/
MP3), and audio from externally connected devices (portable digital audio players, etc.). This unit can also access the Gracenote
database to obtain title information for music CDs, radio broadcasts, or other analog recordings made with externally connected
devices. (For recording details, see page 26 of operating instruction.)
Importing from a PC
You can import WMA/MP3 files from your PC to this unit. This differs from recording because the files are saved in the HDD in the
same format as they are saved on your PC. (LPCM and AAC conversion is not performed.)

9.1.1. Built-in Gracenote® Database
The Gracenote
By connecting to the Internet, the unit can access the Gracenote server and obtain the most recent CD title information. When a
CD is inserted or recording from a CD begins, the unit will automatically search for and obtain information about the inserted CD

(
If this unit is not connected to the Internet:
A portion of the Gracenote database comes pre-installed on this unit, so titles and artist information can be obtained. Please note
however that the newest CD titles, etc. may not be registered yet to the internal database. This unit has an internal database
containing information for approximately 350,000 album titles.
Searching for titles other than on CD:
Using the Gracenote database, information can also be obtained for other types of tracks recorded to the HDD (

How recordings work
Tracks are initially recorded to the HDD and saved as LPCM. When the recording mode is set to AAC, AAC conversion takes
place while the unit is in standby mode. In addition to AAC conversion, track analysis for the "Music Shuffle" function (
of operating instruction) also takes place during standby mode.

About AAC conversion of recorded tracks and Music Shuffle analysis
Conversion/analysis is performed when the unit is in standby mode. 2 minutes after the unit is set to standby mode, conversion/
analysis starts and the unit s display starts to show "_ _ _ _". Leave the power cord plugged in.
You can also perform conversion/analysis immediately (
This unit usually takes about one-third of the recording time to complete analysis and conversion.
For example, a 60-minute recording will take about 20 minutes to complete conversion and analysis. (For tracks imported from
a PC, time will be shorter as the tracks only need to be analyzed.)
Tracks can be played even if conversion and analysis is incomplete. However, the same track may sound slightly different before
and after AAC conversion.
You can also compress LPCM tracks to AAC to increase the amount of the available space on the HDD (see page 47 of
operating instruction).

9.1.3. Recording Modes
With these settings you can adjust the audio quality when recording tracks to the HDD. Recordings made with higher bitrates use
more space, reducing the total available space on the HDD.

Explanation
The audio signal is digitally recorded without any
compression.
The audio is initially recorded as LPCM and converted to
AAC when this unit is in standby mode.
AAC is a compression format which compresses the audio
data into a smaller size. Audio quality and the amount of
tracks that can be recorded will differ depending on the
bitrate.

time
Recording mode settings at the time of purchase:
The recording mode for each selector is set to "LPCM" at the time of purchase. The recording mode for each selector can be set
individually(
If you want to change the recording mode to AAC, please note the following:
Recordings made to this unit are initially recorded in LPCM, and then are converted to AAC. Therefore if you are making
continuous, long recordings, the maximum amount of recordings you can make must fit within the LPCM limits for maximum
possible recording time as described in the chart above. In the event that you are making many recordings, continue recording
after the music data has been converted to AAC format (
Note
LPCM audio quality does not exceed the audio quality of the original recording.

15.2. Important points in adjustment
15.2.1. Important points in optical adjustment
•
• Before starting optical adjustment, be sure to take anti-static measures.
• •
•
• Optical pickup tilt adjustment is needed after replacement of the following components.
• •
1. Optical pickup unit
2. Spindle motor unit
3. Optical pickup peripheral parts
Notes
Adjustment is generally unnecessary after replacing other parts of the traverse unit. However, make adjustment if there is a
noticeable degradation in picture quality. Optical adjustments cannot be made inside the optical pickup. Adjustment is generally
unnecessary after replacing the traverse unit.
15.2.2. Important points in electrical adjustment
•
• Follow the adjustment procedures described in this manual.
• •
15.3. Storing and handling of test discs
•
• Surface precision is vital for DVD test discs. Be sure to store and handle them carefully.
• •
1. Do not place discs directly onto the workbench, etc., after use.
2. Handle discs carefully in order to maintain their flatness. Place them into their case after use and store them vertically. Store
discs in a cool place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight or air from air conditioners.
3. Accurate adjustment will not be possible if the disc is warped when placed on a surface made of glass,etc. If this happens, use
a new test disc to make optical adjustments.
4. If adjustment is done using a warped disc, the adjustment will be incorrect and some discs will not be playable.

15.4.1.1. Adjustment procedure
1. While pressing STOP button on the main unit, press "5" on
the remote control unit.
2. Confirm that "J_xxx/yyy_zz" (Display 1/Display 2) is shown
on the front display.
For your information:
"yyy" and "zz" have nothing to do with the jitter value.
"yyy" is the error counter, while "zz" is the focus drive
value.
Note:
Jitter value appears on the front display.
3. Play test disc T30 (center periphery).
4. Adjust tangential adjustment screw so that the jitter value is
minimized.
5. Play test disc T30 (center periphery).
6. Adjust tilt adjustment screw 1 so that the jitter value is
minimized.
7. Play test disc T30 (center periphery).
8. Adjust tilt adjustment screw 2 so that the jitter value is
minimized.
9. Repeat adjusting tilt adjustment screws 1 and 2 alternately
until the jitter value is minimized.
the mechanism unit. Follow (Step 1) to (Step 4) of Item
11.17. for its disassembling procedures.
15.4.1.3. Check after adjustment
Play test disc or any other disc to make sure there is no picture
degradation in the inner, middle and outer peripheries, and no
audio skipping. After adjustment is finished, lock each
adjustment screw in position using screw lock.
15.4.1.4. Procedure for screw lock
1. After adjustment, remove top cover, tray, clamper base and
traverse unit in this sequence.
2. Lay the traverseunit upside down, and fix adjustment screw
with screw lock.
3. After fixing, reassemble traverse unit, clamper base, tray
and top cover.
15.4.1.2. Important points
1. Make tangential adjustment first, and then make tilt
adjustment.
2. Repeat adjusting two or three times to find the optimum
point.
3. Finish the procedure with tilt adjustment.
Jitter value depends on the model:
1. If the jitter value changes like B, the optimum point is easy to
find.
2. If the jitter value changes like A, set the optimum point near the
middle.
Note: Tilt adjustment can be done through disassembly of
