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 A C 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 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 V OM or battery-operated A C v oltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate lo w-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)

CAUTION

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

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic breakdown 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.

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.

SETTING AND RELEASING THE CD DISC TRAY LOCK FUNCTION

This set has a disc tray lock function to prevent discs for demonstration at shops from theft. While this lock function is set, the tray will not be delivered out even when the OPEN/CLOSE button is pressed.

Setting method:

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button while pressing the STOP button. After a few seconds, the message “LOCKED” will appear on the fluorescent indicator tube with the tray locked.

Releasing method:

Just as the lock is set, press the OPEN/CLOSE button while pressing the STOP button. After a few seconds, the message “UNLOCKED” will appear with the lock released.

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.

1. Set to the standby state.

2. Press three keys of x , [GAME EQ] and [MOVIE EQ]

simultaneously.

3. When the model, destination and version display mode is

activated, the model an destination is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.

4. Press two keys of [GAME EQ] and [DISC 2] simultaneously, mode

is changed over to model and destination display mode and version display mode.

5. To release from this mode, press the two keys of [GAME EQ]

and [MOVIE EQ] simultaneously.

[CD ERROR CODE DISPLAY]

• This mode can be used for error display of CD section.

Procedure:

1. Press the [POWER] key to turn the power ON.

2. Press the [CD] key to select “CD”.

3. Press three keys of x , [GAME EQ] and [DISC 1] simultaneously.

Note: Error code is not displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.

[CD SERVICE MODE]

•This mode can run the CD sled motor freely. Use this mode, for instance, when cleaning the optical pick-up.

Procedure:

1. Press the [POWER] key to turn the power ON.

2. Press the [CD] key to select “CD”.

3. Press three keys of x , [GAME EQ] and Z simultaneously.

4. When the CD service mode is activated, the message

“TRA VERS ON” is displa yed on the fluorescent indicator tube.

5. Press the M key, optical pick-up move to outside track and

the message “SLED OUT” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.

6. Press the m key, optical pick-up move to inside track and

the message “SLED IN” is displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube..

7. Press the [MOVIE EQ] key, traverse ON/OFF is changed over.

[5 REPEAT LIMIT CANCEL]

• Number of repeat for CD playback is 5 times when the repeat mode is “REPEAT”. This mode is used to enables CD to repeat playback for limitless times.

Procedure:

1. Press the [POWER] key to turn the power ON.

2. Press the [CD] key to select “CD”.

3. Press three keys of x , [GAME EQ] and G simultaneously.

CD SECTION

Note:

1. CD Block is basically designed to operate without adjustment. Therefore, check each item in order given.

2. Use YEDS-18 (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated.

3. Use an oscilloscope with more than 10MW 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

Oscilloscope

BD board

TP(FE) TP(VC)

Procedure :

1. Connect an oscilloscope to TP (FE) and TP (VC).

2. Turn the power on.

3. Load a disc (YEDS-18) and actuate the focus search. (In consequence of open and close the disc tray, actuate the focus search)

4. Confirm that the oscilloscope waveform (S-curve) is symmetrical between A and B. And confirm peak to peak level within 3 ± 0.5 Vp-p.

Note: Clear RF signal waveform means that the shape “ ◊ ” can be

clearly distinguished at the center of the waveform.

Procedure :

1. Connect an oscilloscope to TP (RF) and TP (VC).

2. Turn the power on.

3. Load a disc (YEDS-18) and playback.

4. Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check if RF signal level is correct or not.
