NOTICE
(FOR CANADIAN MODEL ONLY)
Fuse symbols (fast operating fuse) and/or (slow operating fuse) on PCB indicate that replacement parts must
be of identical designation.
REMARQUE
(POUR MODÈLE CANADIEN SEULEMENT)
Les symboles de fusible (fusible de type rapide) et/ou (fusible de type lent) sur CCI indiquent que les pièces
de remplacement doivent avoir la même désignation.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the
continued protection of the customer and service
technician.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water
pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester
such as Simpson Model 229-2 or equivalent between the
earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appliance
(input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control
shaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directly
into a 120V AC 60Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch
on. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.
Reading should
not be above
0.5mA
Earth
ground
Device
under
test
Also test with

(Using AC adapter
plug as required)
Leakage
current
tester
Test all
exposed metal
surfaces
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS
OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE
RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.
2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance
have special safety related characteristics. These are
often not evident from visual inspection nor the protection
afforded by them necessarily can be obtained by using
replacement components rated for voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this Service Manual.
Electrical components having such features are identified
by marking with a
in this Service Manual.
The use of a substitute replacement component which does
not have the same safety characteristics as the PIONEER
recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in
this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards.
Product Safety is continuously under review and new
instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest
information, always consult the current PIONEER Service
Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies of, PIONEER
Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from
PIONEER.

The mark found on some component parts indicates the importance of the safety factor of the part.
•
Therefore, when replacing, be sure to use parts of identical designation.
When ordering resistors, first convert resistance values into code form as shown in the following examples.
•
Ex.1 When there are 2 effective digits (any digit apart from 0), such as 560 ohm and 47k ohm (tolerance is shown by J=5%,
and K=10%).
For adjustment, use the STEREO CD RECEIVER (XC-F10) in combination with the STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER(M-F10).
6.1 TEST MODE
How to Enter the Test Mode
In case of system operation ........
Receive “A15F” (bus data 1C5F) with the remote control or switch on the power with the TEST MODE JP [W137 (GNDC) and W138
(TEST)] of the MAIN ASSY short-circuited (pin 30 of the microcomputer connected to GND).
(Refer to Fig. 6-1.)
In case of single operation ........
Connect part A of the MAIN ASSY [W134 (GNDPB) and W156 (GND) ], short-circuit the TEST MODE JP [W137 GNDC) and W138
(TEST)] (pin 30 of the microcomputer connected to GND), and supply DC power to part [W155 (+9 V), W154 (-9 V) and W156
(GND)]. (Refer to Fig. 6-1.)
* Single operation the keys “EJECT” , "STOP", "REC" and “PLAY” operate normally, and other connect part B
of the ILLUMI ASSY W176 (GNDC), short-circuit the TEST JUMPER [W177(REW) and W175(FF)].

mode is reached and the following operation is performed.
1 FUNCTION is set to AUX.
2 FWD recording is performed for 4 sec.
3 RVS recording is performed for 4 sec.
4 FWD playback is performed for 4 sec. (Function becomes
TAPE), and the unit stops.
5 RVS playback is performed for 4 sec.
6 STOP.
7 REC PAUSE . ( Direction becomes FWD )
LINE MUTE opens in REC condition.
6.2 SINGLE OPERATION METHOD
Operation of preparation
Connect part A of the MAIN ASSY [W156 (GND) and
W134 (GNDPB)], short-circuit the TEST MODE JP [W137
GNDC) and W138 (TEST)] (pin 30 of the microcomputer
connected to GND), and supply DC power to part [W155
(9 V), W154(-10 V) and W156 (GND)]. (Refer to Fig. 6-1.)
In case of single connect load
In case of adjustment as a single unit, connect a 27 kΩ load
resistor to pins W149(PBR) and W150(PBL) of (MAIN
ASSY ). (Refer to Fig. 6-4.)
In case of input signal
In case of adjustment as a single unit, enter the signal at
W147(REC_L) and W151(REC_R) of MAIN ASSY. At this
time, connect an output buffer amplifier to the oscillator, and
then connect a series resistor(180 Ω) after the impedance
hasbecome sufficiently low. (For MPX filter impedance
matching) (Refer to Fig. 6-4.)
In case of Fuction

5. When abnormal operation is detected, the corresponding code
will be displayed on the DISPLAY Part.

6.3 ADJUSTMENT
Please execute this adjustment in test mode .
Adjustment Condition
(1) The ground at the time of adjustment shall be W134.
(Refer to Fig. 6–4).
(2) Clean the heads and demagnetize them using a head eraser.
(3) Set the measurement level to 0 dBV = 1 Vrms.
(4) Use the specified tape for adjustment. Use the labeled (A) side
of the test tape.
NCT–111: For Tape Speed Adjustment
: For Head Azimuth Adjustment
NCT–132X: For Playback Level Adjustment
: For Playback Frequency Adjustment
STD–633: Normal blank tape
STD–622: CrO
(5) Provide yourself with the following measuring devides:
• AC millivoltmeter
• Low-frequency oscillator
• Attenuator
• Oscilloscope
(6) Adjust both right and left channels unless otherwise specified.
(7) Turn the DOLBY NR switch off unless otherwize specified.
(8) Warm up the unit for several minutes before adjustment. In
particular, be sure to warm up the unit in the REC/PLAY mode
for 3 to 5 minutes before starting recording/playback frequency
characteristics adjustment.
(9) Always follow the indicated adjustment order.
Otherwise, a complete adjustment may not be achieved.
