SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR
SERVICE MANUAL
(FOR CD-CH1500H)
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 1
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.

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 WITHOUT A COMPACT DISC IN POSITION AND THE
PICKUP IS ON THE OUTER EDGE 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 UNIT AND REPLACEMENT SERVICE PARTS ARE ALL FACTORY
PRESET BEFORE SHIPMENT.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO READJUST THE LASER PICKUP UNIT DURING REPLACEMENT OR SERVICING.
3-UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES STARE INTO THE PICKUP 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.

Playback stops in the middle
or is not performed properly.
Playback sounds are
skipped, or stopped in the
middle of a track.
Does the disc satisfy the standards?
Is the disc distorted or scratched?
Is the unit located near excessive vibrations?
Is the disc very dirty?
Has condensation formed inside the unit?
Tuner
SymptomPossible cause
Radio makes unusual noise
consecutively.
Is the unit placed near the TV or computer?
Is the FM/AM loop aerial placed properly? Move the
AC power lead away from the aerial if located near.
Cassette deck
SymptomPossible cause
Cannot record.Is the erase-protection tab removed?
Cannot record tracks with
proper sound quality.
Cannot erase completely.

CD-CH1500H/CD-CH1500W
Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (CD-CH1500H Only)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide.
These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme
signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air.
"EON" will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) data is
broadcast.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is
received.
"RT" (Radio Text) will appear whilst the unit receives the Radio text data.
"CT" (Clock Time) will appear whilst the unit receives the RDS CT data.
You can control the RDS by using the remote control only.
Information provided by RDS
Each time the DISP MODE button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:
Station name (PS)Frequency
Programme type (PTY)RDS clock time
(8 Languages)
Programme type (PTY)Clock-time and date (CT)
(English fixed)
Radio text (RT)
When you are tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station
which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:
Date (for 3 seconds)
Descriptions of the PTY (Programme Type) codes, TP (Traffic Programme) and
TA (Traffic Announcement).
You can search for and receive the following PTY, TP and TA signals.

Setting the AC voltage selector
Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plugging the unit into an AC socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the
AC power voltage used in your area.
Turn the selector with a screwdriver until the appropriate voltage number
appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220 V or 230 V - 240 V AC).
Connecting the AC power lead
After making all connections, plug the unit. If you plug the unit first, the unit

Plug the AC power lead into an AC socket, after any connections.
Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket if the unit will not be in use for a prolonged period of time.
Setting the FM/AM span selector
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows
the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
