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 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.
Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation
exceeding the limit for Class 1.
This appliance is classified as
a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on
the rear exterior.
This caution
label is located
inside the unit.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING !!

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
s
s
s
s
s
s
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 four times.

SERVICING NOTE
About CD-TEXT display
This unit is provided with a simple CD-TEXT display function.
The CD-TEXT contents of 20 tracks are displayed on the fluorescent display tube.
Since the function is simple, some special characters may not be displayed, or may be displayed as other characters.
MC Cold Reset
• The cold reset clears all data including preset data stored in the RAM to initial conditions. Execute this mode when returning the set to the
customer.
Procedure:
1. Press three buttons c/CLOCK SET , ENTER , and "/1 simultaneously.
2. “COLD RESET” is displayed on the fluorescent display tube and reset is executed.
CD Delivery Mode
• This mode moves the pick-up to the position durable to vibration. Use this mode when returning the set to the customer after repair.
Procedure:
1. Press "/1 button to turn the set ON.
2. Press LOOP button and "/1 button simultaneously.
3. A message “LOCK” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube, and the CD delivery mode is set.
MC Hot Reset
• This mode resets the set with the preset data kept stored in the memory. The hot reset mode functions same as if the po wer cord is plugged
in and out.
Procedure:
1. Press three buttons c/CLOCK SET , ENTER , and DISC 1 simultaneously.
2. The fluorescent indicator tube becomes blank instantaneously, and the set is reset.
Sled Servo Mode
• This mode can run the CD sled motor freely. Use this mode, for instance, when cleaning the pick-up.
Procedure:
1. Press "/1 button to turn the set ON.
2. Press three buttons c/CLOCK SET , ENTER , and DISC 5 simultaneously.
3. The Sled Servo mode is selected, if “CD” is blanking on the fluorescent indicator tube.
4. With the CD in stop status, When the . AMS > knob is rotated in the clockwise direction, the pick-up moves outside. When
rotated counterclockwise, it moves inside.
5. To exit from this mode, perform as follows:
1) Move the pick-up to the most inside track.
2) Execute MC cold reset. (Press the three buttons c/CLOCK SET , ENTER , and "/1 button simultaneousl y.)
Note:
• Always move the pick-up to most inside track when exiting from this mode. Otherwise, a disc will not be unloaded.
• Do not run the sled motor excessively, otherwise the gear can be chipped.
Change-over of AM Tuner Step between 9kHz and 10kHz
• A step of AM channels can be changed over between 9kHz and 10kHz.
Procedure:
1. Press "/1 button to turn the set ON.
2. Select the function “TUNER”, and press TUNER/BAND button to select the BAND “AM”.
3. Press "/1 button to turn the set OFF.
4. Press ENTER and "/1 buttons simultaneously, and the display of fluorescent indicator tube changes to “AM 9k STEP” or “AM 10k
STEP”, and thus the channel step is changed over.
LED and Fluorescent Indicator Tube All Lit, Key Check Mode
Procedure:
1. Press three buttons c/CLOCK SET , ENTER , and DISC 2 simultaneously.
2. LEDs and fluorescent indicator tube are all turned on.
Press DISC 2 button, and the key check mode is activated.
3. In the key check mode, the fluorescent indicator tube displays “K @ V0 J0”. Each time a button is pressed, “K”v alue increases. Howe ver,
once a button is pressed, it is no longer taken into account.
“J” Value increases like 1, 2, 3 ... if rotating . AMS > knob in “+” direction, or it decreases like 0, 9, 8 ... if rotating in “-”
direction.
“V” Value increases like 1, 2, 3 ... if rotating VOLUME knob in “+” direction, or it decreases like 0, 9, 8 ... if rotating in “-” direction.
4. To exit from this mode, press three buttons in the same manner as step 1, or disconnect the power cord.
5
AMS Test Mode
• This mode is used for checking the AMS operations of the tape deck.
JIG
7-819-039-12 Alignment tape, AMS-110A

Note:
1. CD Block is basically constructed to operate without adjustment.
Therefore, check each item in order given.
2. Use YEDS-18 disc (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated.
3. Use an oscilloscope with more than 10MΩ impedance.
4. Clean the object lens by an applicator with neutral detergent when
the signal level is low than specified value with the following
checks.
S Curve Check
BD board
TP (FE)
TP (VC)
Procedure :
1. Connect the oscilloscope to test points TP (FE) and TP (VC).
2. Connect TP (FE1) and GND, and TP (AGCCON) and GND of
the BD board with lead wires.
3. Press the "/1 button to turn the set ON.
4. With the disc (YEDS-18) loaded, press the HX button and
perform focus search. (Focus search will be performed in the
same way even while the disc table is pushed in and out.)
5. Check the symmetry and peak to peak level of the oscilloscope
waveform (S curve) at this time.

Procedure:
1. Connect oscilloscope to test point TP (TE) on BD board.
2. Press the "/1 button to turn the unit ON.
3. Put disc (YEDS-18) in to play the number five track.
4. Press the HX button.
5. Check the level B of the oscilloscope's waveform and the A (DC
voltage) of the center of the Traverse waveform.
Confirm the following:
• A/B x 100 = less then ± 22 (%)
• B = 1.3 ± 0.6 Vp-p

6. After check, remove the lead wire connected in step 2.
Note: • Try to measure several times to make sure than the ratio of
A : B or B : A is more than 10 : 7.
• T ake sweep time as long as possible and light up the brightness to obtain best waveform.

Procedure :
1. Connect oscilloscope to test point TP (RF) and TP (VC) on BD
board.
2. Press the "/1 button to turn the set ON.
3. Put disc (YEDS-18) in and playback 5 track.
4. Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check RF signal level is correct or not.
Note: Clear RF signal waveform means that the shape “◊” can be
clearly distinguished at the center of the waveform.
