• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:
• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.
• Discharging
For more detail, please refer to "7. DISASSEMBLY - 1. Discharging".

Sound and operation should not be defective
2
Check each input and main VOL (check the
operation of selector)
The sound is output by selecting an analog-connected input
with a selector and the sound volume should change by
rotating main VOL knob
3
Check the tone control, balance, and function The sound quality or right and left balances should change
by rotating each VOL knob
4
Check DIRECT functions The tone control should be disabled by setting DIRECT
function to ON.
6 Check SPEAKER A/B and headphone terminal There should not be defect in sound such
5 Check the tuner (AM and FM) operations Audio and operations must be normal.
