SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTES
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
damaged by heat.
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.
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 0.5 mA (500 microamperes.). 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 manuf acturers’ 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 v oltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must hav e an accurate low-v oltage 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 2 V A C range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear exterior.
Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic break-down because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body. During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down 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 waveforms is output three times.
UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead­free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher than ordinary solder. Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350 °C. Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if
the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
Strong viscosity Unleaded solder is more viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc.
Usable with ordinary solder It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.
CAUTION

1. Clean the following parts with a denatured-alcohol-moistened swab :
record/playback head pinch roller erase head rubber belts capstan idlers
2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head demagnetizer. (Do not bring the head magnetizer close to the erase head.)
3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
4. After the adjustments, appiy suitable locking compound to the parts adjusted.
5. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power supply voltage unless otherwise noted.

2. Press the I/1 button to turn the power ON, and press the Z (CD) button to open the CD disc tray.
3. Set disc (YEDS-18) on the tray and press the CD u button to playback.
4. Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is as shown in the figure below. (eye pattern) A good eye pattern means that the diamond shape (◊) in the center of the waveform can be clearly distinguished.

Procedure:
1. Turn the power on.
2. Input the following signal from Signal Generator to FM antenna input directly.
* Carrier Freq: A = 87.5 MHz, B = 98 MHz, C = 108 MHz
Deviation : 75 kHz Modulation : 1 kHz ANT input : 35 dBu (EMF)
Note: Please use 75 ohm “coaxial cable” to connect SG and the set. You
cannot use video cable for checking. Please use SG whose output impedance is 75 ohm.
3. Set to FM tuner function and scan the input FM signal with automatic scanning.
4. Confirm that input Frequency of A, B and C are detected and automatic scanning stops.
The stop of automatic scanning means “The station signal is received in good condition.”
