SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR
SERVICE MANUAL
Precaution to be taken when replacing and servicing the
Laser Pickup.
The AEL (Accessible Emission Level) of Laser Power Output
for this model is specified to be lower than Class I Requirements.
However, the following precautions must be observed during
servicing to protect your eyes against exposure to the Laser
beam
(1) When the cabinet has been removed, the power is turned
on without a compact disc, and the Pickup is on a position
outer than the lead-in position, the Laser will light for several
seconds to detect a disc. Do not look into the Pickup Lens.
(2) The Laser Power Output of the Pickup inside the unit and
replacement service parts have already been adjusted prior
to shipping.
(3) No adjustment to the Laser Power should be attempted
when replacing or servicing the Pickup.
(4) Under no circumstances look directly into the Pickup Lens
at any time.
(5) CAUTION - Use of controls or adjustments, or performance
of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION-INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. DO NOT STARE INTO
BEAM OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.

CAUTION
This Mini Component System is classified as a CLASS
1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT label is located on the
rear cover.
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
VOLTAGE SELECTION
The voltage selector is located on the AC voltage selector box. If adjustment is necessary, ensure to remove plug of AC cord from
AC socket and use a screwdriver to turn the selector in either direction. The correct voltage figure is displayed in the window below
to the adjustment screw.

has been best adjusted in the factory so that its further
adjustment is not needed at the field. When replacing the
FM front end assembly, no adjustment is needed either.

Since this CD system incorporates the following automatic adjustment function, when the pickup is replaced, it is not necessary
to readjust it.
Since this CD unit does not need adjustment, the combination of PWB and laser pickup unit is not restricted.

This automatic adjustment is performed each time a disc is changed. Therefore,
each disc is played back using the optimal settings.

NOTES ON SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
• Resistor:
To differentiate the units of resistors, such symbol as K and
M are used: the symbol K means 1000 ohm and the symbol
M means 1000 kohm and the resistor without any symbol is
ohm-type resistor. Besides, the one with “Fusible” is a fuse
type.
• Capacitor:
To indicate the unit of capacitor, a symbol P is used: this
symbol P means micro-micro-farad and the unit of the
capacitor without such a symbol is microfarad. As to
electrolytic capacitor, the expression “capacitance/withstand
voltage” is used.
(CH), (TH), (RH), (UJ): Temperature compensation
(ML): Mylar type
(P.P.): Polypropylene type
• Schematic diagram and Wiring Side of P.W.Board for this
model are subject to change for improvement without prior
notice.
• The indicated voltage in each section is the one measured
by Digital Multimeter between such a section and the chassis with no signal given.
1. In the tuner section,
( ) indicates AM
2. In the main section, a tape is being played back.
3. In the deck section, a tape is being played back.
( ) indicates the record state.
4. In the power section, a tape is being played back.
5. In the CD section, the CD is stopped.
• Parts marked with “ ” ( ) are important for
maintaining the safety of the set. Be sure to replace these
parts with specified ones for maintaining the safety and
performance of the set.
