CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance

may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270°C during
repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or
unsoldering.
Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged 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.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
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
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode
emission, observe more than 30 cm away from the objective
lens.
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK ! OR DO TTED LINE WITH
MARK ! ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN THE PARTS
LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION.

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTES
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety check before releasing the set to the customer :
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check
leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
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 0.5mA (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 AC voltmeter . The “limit” indication is 0.75V,
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)
CHUCK PLATE JIG ON REPAIRING
On repairing CD section, playing a disc without the CD lid, use
Chuck Plate Jig.
• Code number of Chuck Plate Jig : X-4918-255-1
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
1. Turn on POWER button and press CD button to CD
position.
2. Open the CD lid.
3. Turn on S901 as following figure.
4. Confirm the laser diode emission while observing the
objecting lens. When there is no emission, Auto Power
Control circuit or Optical Pick-up is broken.
Objective lens moves up and down three for focus search.
