CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear exterior.

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 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.

Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.

The following caution label is located inside the unit.

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 0.75 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)

SERVICING NOTES

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 waveform is output repeatedly.

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.

9. The value after V also indicates amount of rotation of volume control. The clockwise rotation increases the count value. The counter-clockwise rotation decreases the count value.

10. To exit the GC test mode and to return to the STANDBY mode, press the STOP , ENTER and GROUP 2 buttons again.

11. [GROUP 2 test mode ] You can enter this mode directly from step 2. When you performed steps 3, perform steps 4, then 1 and 2 before starting the step 5. [GROUP 3 test mode ] From the GC test mode, press the GROUP 3 button to enter the VACS attenuation check mode. The display: VOL NORMAL appears.

12. To exit the GC test mode and to return to the STANDBY mode, press the STOP , ENTER and GROUP 2 buttons again.

[MC Test Mode]

* This mode checks operation of amplifier and cassette deck.

How to enter the MC test mode:

Press the three buttons of STOP , ENTER and GROUP 3 . “EQ CHECK” display on the FL tube and the VOLUME display flash. In addition the LEDs of the JOG dial, FF and REW flash indicating the MC test mode.

Check procedure:

You can perform any of the following five steps. However, it is recommended to perform them in the following order because the skipped cannot be performed if the checks are not performed in the given order.

1. EQ Check Mode

The GEQ becomes maximum when the JOG dial is turned clockwise. The GEQ becomes minimum when the JOG dial is turned counter-clockwise. The GEQ comes to center when the FILE SELECT button is pressed.

— 16 —

2. VOLUME Check Mode

The maximum volume is set, and the VOLUME MAX display and the GEQ display are displayed for a moment regardless of the amount of volume rotation. The minimum volume is set, and the VOLUME MIN display and the GEQ display are displayed for a moment regardless of the amount of volume rotation.

3. Deck Check Mode

Install a tape to the deck B. Select T APE B with the FUNCTION button. Recording starts and PAUSE is released when the REC button is pressed. VIDEO is selected by the input FUNCTION. Press the STOP button to stop recording and select TAPE B with the FUNCTION button. Rewind the tape by pressing the REW button and stop at the recording start point. Start playback from the recording start point.

4. High Speed Check Mode-1

Install a tape to the deck A. Select T APE A with the FUNCTION button. Press the PLAY button then press the HI-SPEED DUBBING button during playback. The normal playback is obtained during normal speed playback and the double speed playback is obtained during the double speed playback.

5. High Speed Check Mode-2

1. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head demagnetizer.

2. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.

3. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the parts adjust.

4. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power supply voltage unless otherwise noted.

5. The adjustments should be performed in the order given in this service manual. (As a general rule, playback circuit adjustment should be completed before performing recording circuit adjustment.)

6. The adjustments should be performed for both L-CH and RCH.

REC Bias Adjustment DECK B

Procedure:

INTRODUCTION When set to the test mode performed in Tape Speed Adjustment, when the tape is rewound after recording, the “REC memory mode” which rewinds only the recorded portion and playback is set. This “REC memory mode” is convenient for performing this adjustment. During recording, the input signal FUNCTION will automatically switch to VIDEO. (If do not operation of stopped from recording complete, after selecting DECK B with the FUNCTION button, and press ≠º – button then rewind to recording start position.)

1. Press [FUNCTION] button to select VIDEO. (This step is not necessary if the above test mode has already been set.)
