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
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. Follo w 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 v oltmeter. 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 e xamples of
a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)

The release method of a CD disc tray LOCK function
There is a disc lock function for the disc theft prevention for a
demonstration at a shop front in this machine.
Procedue:
1. Press the ?/1 button to turn the set on.
2. Press two buttons of x and Z (EJECT) simultaneously for
five seconds.
3. The message “LOCKED” is displayed and the tray is locked.
(Even if exiting from this mode, the tray is still locked.)
4. Press two buttons of x and Z (EJECT) simultaneously for
five seconds again.
5. The message “UNLOCKED” is displayed and the tray is
unlocked.
6. To exit from this mode, press the ?/1 button to turn the set
off.
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 viscous (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.

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

(3) The pick-up accesses to the first track, and plays 3 seconds.
(4) The pick-up accesses to the last track, and plays 3 seconds.
(5) The disc tray opens and closes.
(6) The disc tray turns to select a disc 1.
(7) The same operation starts like step (3).
(8) After a disc 1 aging operation, a disc 2 is selected.
(9) When an aging operation of a disc 3 is completed, the display
“AGING ∗∗∗∗” value increases.
(10) If no error occurs, the aging operation continues repeatedly.
