SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTE
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for A C leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
LEAKAGE
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth Ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated A C v oltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75
V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale.
The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair
parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the “S curve check” in “CD section adjustment” and check
that the S curve waveform is output repeatedly.

CD-TEXT TEST DISC
This unit is able to display the test data (character information) written in the CD on its fluorescent indicator tube.
The CD-TEXT TEST DISC (TGCS-313:4-989-366-01) is used for checking the display.
To check, perform the following procedure.
Checking Method:
1. Turn ON the power, set the disc on the disc table with the side labeled as “test disc” as the right side , close the front co v er, and chuck the
disc.
2. Press the ” button and play back the disc.
3. The following will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.
Display : 1kHz/0 dB/ L&R
4. Press the = and + buttons to switch the track. The text data of each track will be displayed.
For details of the displayed contents for each track, refer to “Table 1 : CD-TEXT TEST DISC TEXT Data Contents” and “Table 2 : CDTEXT TEST DISC Recorded Contents and Display”.
Restrictions in CD-TEXT Display
In this unit, some special characters will not be displayed properly. These will be displayed as a space or a character resembling it. For details,
refer to “Table 2 : CD-TEXT DISC Recorded Contents and Display”.
