SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR SERVICE MANUAL
WARNINGS
THE AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMISSION LEVEL) OF THE LASER POWER OUTPUT IS LESS THAN CLASS 1 BUT THE LASER
COMPONENT IS CAPABLE OF EMITTING RADIATION EXCEEDING THE LIMIT FOR CLASS 1. THEREFORE IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS ARE OBSERVED DURING SERVICING TO PROTECT YOUR EYES
AGAINST EXPOSURE TO THE LASER BEAM.
1-WHEN THE CABINET IS REMOVED, THE POWER IS TURNED ON WITDOUT A COMPACT DISC IN POSITION AND THE
PICK-UP IS ON THE OUTER EDGE THE LASER WILL LIGHT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS TO DETECT A DISC. DO NOT
LOOK INTO THE PICK-UP LENS.
2-THE LASER POWER OUTPUT OF THE PICK-UP UNIT AND REPLACEMENT SERVICE PARTS ARE ALL FACTORY
PRE-SET BEFORE SHIPMENT.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ADJUST THE LASER PICK-UP UNIT DURING REPLACEMENT OR SERVICING.
3-UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES STARE INTO THE PICK-UP LENS AT ANY TIME.
4-CAUTION-USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
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.
CAUTION-INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. DO NOT STARE INTO
BEAM OR VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.

Remote control
Notes concerning use:
Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if
the operation becomes erratic.
Periodically clean the transmitter LED on the remote control
and the sensor on the main unit with a soft cloth.
Exposing the sensor on the main unit to strong light may in-
terfere with operation. Change the lighting or the direction of
the unit.
Keep the remote control away from moisture, excessive heat,
shock, and vibrations.

AM/FM interval (span)
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has estab-
lished that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or
a 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of any AM
station. The illustration shows the 9 kHz interval zones (regions
1 and 3), and the 10 kHz interval zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the
rear panel) to AM tuning interval (span) of your area.
To change the tuning zone:
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.
2
Set the SPAN SELECTOR switch to "50/9" for 9 kHz AM
interval (50 kHz FM interval), and "100/10" for 10 kHz AM
interval (100 kHz FM interval).
3
Whilst pressing down the button and the
button, hold down the ON/STAND-BY button for at least 1
second.
Caution:
The operation explained above will erase all data stored in
memory including clock and timer settings, and tuner and CD
presets.

has been best adjusted in the factory so that its further
adjustment is not needed at the field. When replacing the

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.

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
< > indicates FM stereo
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.
