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.
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.
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.
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.
SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the
customer.
1.Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2.Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.
3.Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly
transistors, that were installed during a previous repair . Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
4.Look for parts which, through functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
5.Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
6.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.

1.Connect oscilloscope to test point TP (RF) and TP (VC) on BD
board.
2.Connect TP (AGCCON) and GND of the BD board with lead
wires.
3.Press the 1/u button to turn the set ON.
4.Put disc (YEDS-18) in and playback 5track.
5.Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check RF
signal level is correct or not.
6.After check, remove the lead wire connected in step 2.

THIS NOTE IS COMMON FOR PRINTED WIRING
BOARDS AND SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS.
(In addition to this, the necessary note is printed
in each block.)
For schematic diagrams.
Note:
• All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted. pF: µµF
50 WV or less are not indicated except for electrolytics
and tantalums.
• All resistors are in Ω and 1/
specified.
¢
•
: internal component.
• 2 : nonflammable resistor.
• 1 : fusible resistor.
• C : panel designation.
Note: The components identified by mark ! or dotted line
with mark ! are critical for safety.
Replace only with part number specified.
• U : B+ Line.
• V : B– Line.
• H : adjustment for repair.
• Voltages and waveforms are dc with respect to ground
under no-signal (detuned) conditions.
• Voltages are taken with a VOM (Input impedance 10 MΩ).
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.
• Waveforms are taken with a oscilloscope.
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.
• Circled numbers refer to waveforms.
• Signal path.
