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

Procedure :
1. Connect oscilloscope to TP (RFI) and TP (VC) on the BD90
board.
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
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.”

Note on Schematic Diagram:
• All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted. (p: pF)
50 WV or less are not indicated except f or electrolytics and
tantalums.
• All resistors are in Ω and
specified.
• f: internal component.
• 2 : nonflammable resistor.
• 5 : fusible resistor.
• C : panel designation.
Note:
The components identified by mark 0 or dotted line with mark 0 are
critical for safety.
