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 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)

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. T o 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 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.

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.

• If no error occurs: The aging operation continues repeatedly.

1. Operating method of Aging Mode

Turn on the main power and select “CD” of the function.

1) Set three discs in tray. Select ALL DISCS, and REPEAT OFF .

2) Load the tapes recording use into both decks.

3) Press three buttons x , PLAY MODE/TUNING MODE ,

and EX-CHANGE simultaneously.

4) Aging operations of CD and tape are started at the same time.

5) To exit the aging mode, perform [Cold Reset].

2. Aging mode in CD section

1) Operation during aging mode

• In the agining mode, the program is excuted in the following sequence.

(1) The disc tray opens and closes. (2) The disc tray turns to select a disc 3. (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
