INTRODUCTTON
The
Quad
CD
player
is
designed
for the serious
music listener.
lt has
the
minimum
number
of
controls
and
funclions on the assumption
that the
serious
music
listener wishes to
hear music
in
the
order
in which it was
written and
will normally start
from the
beginning of
a disc. However simple
programming
permits
tracks
to be selected
and
played
in any sequence.
The
player
disc drawer
will accept
compact audio
discs
in
the
'normal'
and
'CD
single'
format
without any special
adapters.
The main operating
controls
are separated
from the
player
and all
major
functions are available
via a
remote control
unit, a compact
hand
held
type
being
supplied as
standard
More
than
one
remote control
can be used
and
it is not necessary to
point
the unit
at the CD
player
as
is often the
case
Performance of the Quad
CD
player
is as accurate
as it is
possible
to
achieve
by careful
design,
selection of
componenls
and rigorous test
orocedures.

Warning
avoid
direct viewing
of the
laser
otherwise irreparable
damage may
occur to the eye
retina.
All
the
lC's
fitted
and
most
of the
semiconductors
are susceptible
to
electrostatic
discharges
(ESD).
Careless handling
during
repair
can
destroy them,
or drastically reduce
their life.
when
repairing,
make
sure
you
are connected
to
the same
potential
as
the
mass
of
the CD
player
via
a
wrist
strap
with
a
resistor.
Also
keep
components
and
tools at this
potential.
Surface mounted
chip
components are used in
this equipment.
Should
any
servicing
be carried
out at component level
then
the correct
precautions
must
be observed when
removing
and
replacing
these
components.
Note:
Please
ensure
any spacing
washers
used
are
refitted
on assembly.
Simple
servicing
can
be carried out by removing
the top cover. To
gain
full
access
to the main
assemblies and to
remove
the
CD
mechanism
both
the
rear
panel
and
front
panel
should also
be
removed.
Disconnect
from
the
mains
supply.
a)
Remove
the
4
screws
marked
(A)
and
lift
off.
These
are
accessible from
beneath
the
unit.
Note
on
reassembly
that the cover
will
only fit
one way
round.

Replacing
CD First
remove
the
main PCB
assembly complete
as
shown
t
Mechansm
(Fig

a)
Lary
iire
assembly upsicle
down and
remove
the
2
screws
(N).
b) Lift PCB
and carefully unplug the
flat
cable
(V)
and the 2
connectors
(W)
and
(X), (See
exploded
view).
Note: The
socket
(v)
is a lockable
type.
Lift
the outer
shroud
to
release
and
push
it
down to
lock.
c)
The
CD
mechanism
can
now
be
removed
and,
if necessary
replaced.
Should the
CD
mechanism
be
replaced it is important
that
the
focus
adjustment
and
laser
current are
set as shown
on
page
(12).
d) To replace
the
mechanism
secure
the CD
mechanism
to
the
main
PCB
with
the two screws
in
the
front
pillars
ensuring
any
spacing
washers
are
correctly
fitted.

View
of
PCB
Note : When replacing
the CD
mechanism
ensure that the switch
link
assembly
is
correctly engaged. On
early
units the switch
rod
may
be
glued
to the
plastic
switch connector, to separate the switch
link mechanism
it may
be
necessary
to exert a twisting
pressure
between the
rod
and
connector.
On
later
models rubber
adjustment
rings
are
fitted
beneath
the
front
screws
on the CD
mechanism,
to allow accurate drawer alignment within
the
front
aperture.

The
Quad
CD
Player is normally
supplied
for 2201240V
ac operation. For
1 10/127V
operation the
mains
transformer can be set by
wire links
on the
main PCB,
the
mains input
power
fuse must
also be
replaced with
the
correct
rating. Facilities
are
provided
for
operation
from four
different
voltage ranges, 1 10V, 127V,220V
and
240V. However in
practice
the
127V
and
240V
settings
are
suitable
for most
applications but
for
'100V
supplies
(Japan)
the
1 10V
taps should be used.
a)
Remove main

as shown
in
'Dismantling
