SERVICE NOTE
TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Notes on Chip Component Replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
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 objecti ve lens in the optical pic k-up
block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe
from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
NOTES ON PICK-UP FLEXIBLE BOARD
The pick-up flexible board in this set is secured to the optical pick-up
with an adhesive tape. Once the tape is remov ed, an adhering force
becomes weak, and it cannot be reused.
Therefore, if the optical pick-up is replaced, replace also the pick-up
flexible board with a new one.

Procedure :
1. Adjust T5 on TU1 so that the reading on the digital voltmeter
becomes in 0 ± 50 mV.
2. Output an Fcenter 10 dB signal output from FM RF signal
generator so that the LINE OUT REAR jack is –20 dBs.
3. Change the FM RF signal generator frequency and check the
deviation of the frequency on + side and – side when the LINE
OUT REAR jack drops 3 dB. (Both + side and – side is approx.
50 kHz.)
4. Re-adjust T5 on TU1 when the difference deviation of the
frequency does more than 10 kHz.
