IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTES (For U.S.A.Only)
BEFORE RETURNING THE AUDIO PRODUCT
(Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the audio product to the user, perform the
following safety checks.
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not
pinched or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis
and other metal parts in the audio product.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as insulating materials,
cabinet, terminal board, adjustment and compartment
covers or shields, mechanical insulators etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for leakage
current in the following manner.
* Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120 volt AC outlet.
* Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt resistor
paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with all exposed
metal cabinet parts and a known earth ground, such as
conduit or electrical ground connected to earth ground.
* Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohm per volt, or higher,
sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the
resistor (See diagram).
* Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metal parts
having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal cabinet,
screw heads, knobs and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.)
and measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor.

DISASSEMBLY
MD-C2
Caution on Disassembly
The disassembling the machine or assembling it after
repair, observe the following instructions so as to ensure
safety and keep its performance.
1. Unload the compact disc, and mini-disc, casette tape
from machine.
2. Be sure to unplug the power cable before starting
disassemble of the machine.
3. When disassembling each section, remove the nylon
band or wire arrangement.
After servicing the unit, be sure to rearrange the leads
where they were before disassembling.
If a screw of improper length is fit to the MD mechanism.
(a screw fit the part to the mechanism chassis of MD
section), it may contact the optical pickup, impeding
normal operation. Hence, due care must be taken.
4. While repairing, pay utmost attention to static electricity
on ICs.
Note 1:The CD tray must be opened to remove the CD tray
cover. Open the CD tray using one of the following
methods. After removing the CD tray cover, close the
tray. (See Figure 10-1 and Figure 10-2.)
* Turn the power on and open the CD tray.
* Insert the tip of a screwdriver into the hole
A on the
top of the CD tray. Use the screwdriver to turn the
worm gear 10 turns or more until the lock lever is
released. After releasing the lock lever, manually
push the CD tray out.
* Put the tip of the screwdriver into the hole on the lock
lever through the hole on the back of the CD player
unit. Turn the screwdriver all the way in the direction
indicated by the arrow to release the lock lever. Then,
manually push the CD tray out.
Note 2:When removing or reinstalling the MD unit, avoid a
short circuit by being careful not to allow it to touch the
PWB.
Note 3: After removing the connector for the optical pickup
from the connector wrap the conductive aluminium
foil around the front end of connector so as to protect
the optical pickup from electrostatic damage.
Cares after repairing
After completion of repair of product set the following shipping
mode to return.
1. Make sure that there is not a CD disc in the tray. Press and
hold the PRE-EQ and ENTER buttons, and then press the
RESET switch (or plug in the AC cord) to enter the TEST
mode.
2. After the indication of TEST END appears, unplug the
power cord. If this test mode is executed, the data stored
by the user in the preset memory are all cleared. It is
necessary tell and obtain the consent of user in advance.
Turn idler gear F and install the
MD changer switch PWB with
both SW levers A and B in the
lowered position.
How to remove the mechanism block.
(See Fig. 12-2.)
1. Press and hold the hook. Then turn idler gear F A

Lead-in switch position measurement mode
Insert High reflection test disk (TGYS1)
Note: Adjust the lead-in switch position to FF85 to FFDF.
1. Loosen the screw (A) x 2 pcs. which fix the mechanism switch
PWB.
2. Retighten the screw, pressing the mechanism switch PWB in
the arrow direction, and then measure the lead-in switch
position again.
After position adjustment fix with the two screws (A). (See Fig. 24-1.)
Note: After tightening the two screws on the PWB apply Screw Lock.
Forced rotation of loading motor
When STOP or EJECT appears in the display and the MD RELEASE
key is pressed, it allows the loading motor to be forced to run (loading
and unloading operations).
Forced movement into the loading mechanism throttle
positions
When STOP or EJECT appears in the display and the CD1 PLAY CD3 PLAY keys are pressed, the MD throttle mechanism can move
to positions 1 - 3.
Adjustment of magnetic head mounting position
When the magnetic head and optical pickup have been replaced, be
sure to adjust the mounting position.
For easier adjustment of mounting position move the optical pickup
to the center position, and then adjust the position.
1. Set the adjusting transparent disc 3.
2. Lower the magnetic head up-shift arm with your finger, and raise
the magnetic head.
3. Viewing the set from above, make an adjustment so that the
magnetic head aligns with the optical pickup objective lens.
4. Make sure that there is a clearance as shown in Figure 24-2 and
the magnetic head moves up and down smoothly.

EEPROM WRITING PROCEDURE
MD-C2
EEPROM (IC1402) writing procedure
1. Method for setting the reference temperature value
(This setting should be performed quickly at a room
temperature, between 21 C and 29 C when the PWB is not
hot.)
(1) When replacing the EEPROM, wait until it has cooled down.
(2) Connect the main unit using the single MD main PWB.
(3) Enter the test mode as shown on page 21.
"EJECT"
(4) Press the X-BASS button.
"TEMP "
:Measured temperature, : Temperature setting
(5) Find the temperature correction value for the current ambient
temperature on the following table. Adjust the temperature
correction value using the jog dial.
Ambient temperaturecorrection
+ 21.0 °C ~ + 23.2 °C-1 H
+ 23.3 °C < + 26.8 °C± 0 H
+ 26.9 °C < + 29.0 °C+1 H
An example: When ambient temperature is 22°C and measured
temperature is 7AH
Temperature setting = 7A H - 01 H
= 79 H
* When the measured temperature fluctuates between
two values, take lower one (if temperature fluctuates
between 7AH and 79H, take 79H).
(6) Press the POWER button and write the temperature setting into
the EEPROM.
2. Method for making settings other than the reference
temperature
(1) Install the MD main PWB in the mechanism, and connect it to
the main unit.
(2) Enter the test mode as shown on page 21, and insert a disc.
"AUTO YOBI"
(3) Press the PLAY MODE button.
"EEPROM SET"
(4) Selection mode using the MD1 PLAY key.
(5) Selected using the SURROUND key.
(6) Determined by the MD1 PLAY key.
(7) Using the jog dial, adjust the settings as shown in the "List of the
EEPROM contents".
(8) Press the POWER button, and the settings will be written into
the EEPROM.
(9) Enter the test mode again, perform an "AUTO YOBI", and write
its results into the EEPROM.

• Resistor:
NOTES ON SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
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
