PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER
1. Employing lead-free solder
"MAIN, POWER, AMPLIFIER, HEADPHONE, MICOM REFLASH, DISPLAY, SPEAKER, VOLUME LED LIGHT UP,
iPOD, CD PWB" of this model employs lead-free solder.
The LF symbol indicates lead-free solder, and is attached on the PWB and service manuals. The alphabetical
character following LF shows the type of lead-free solder.
Example:
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.
2. Using lead-free wire solder
When fixing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with
conventional lead wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks.
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40 C, were
commend you to use a dedicated soldring bit, if you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free wire solder or
soldering bit, contact our service station or service branch in your area.
3. Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is about 220 C which is higher than the conventional lead
solder by 40 C, and as it has poor solder wet ability, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the
PWB for extended period of time. However, since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance
temperature of parts may be exceeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you confirm the steady
soldering condition.
Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corrected. Make sure to turn on
and off the power of the bit as required.
If a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder. Clean the bit
after every use of it.
When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, file it with steel wool or fine sandpaper.
Be careful when replacing parts with polarity indication on the PWB silk.

CHAPTER 1.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
[1] Important Service Safety Precaution
CAUTION : “These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce
the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating
instructions unless you are qualified to do so”.
WARNING
1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit should be attempted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED
PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE

[2] 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.

Any reading of 0.3 volt RMS (this corresponds to 0.2
milliamp. AC.) Or more is excessive and indicates a
potential shock hazard which must be corrected before
returning the audio product to the owner.

CHAPTER 2. ADJUSTMENTS
[1] CD Section
1. CD SECTION
• Adjustment
Since this CD system incorporates the following
automatic adjustment functions, readjustment is not
needed when replacing the pickup. Therefore,
different PWBs and pickups can be combined freely.
Each time a disc is changed, these adjustments are
performed automatically. Therefore, playback of
each disc can be performed under optimum
conditions.
Items adjusted automatically
1) Offset adjustment (The offset voltage between the
head amplifier output and the VREF reference
voltage is compensated inside the IC.)
* Focus offset adjustment
* Tracking offset adjustment
2) Tracking balance adjustment
3) Gain adjustment (The gain is compensated inside
the IC so that the loop gain at the gain crossover
frequency will be 0 dB.)

* Focus gain adjustment
* Tracking gain adjustment

•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 pico-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 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.
