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.

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 ﬂ ow)

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 LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK

The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on the disc reﬂ ective 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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT (US MODEL)

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 AC 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 2 V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

To Exposed Metal Parts on Set

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those speciﬁ ed herein may result in hazardous radia- tion exposure.

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 ﬂ exible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on Multi Session disc

When you play back Multi Session discs with different formats for each session, the format of the ﬁ rst session is recognized as the disc type. Tracks in the second and subsequent sessions are played back if they are the same formats as the ﬁ rst session.

Procedure:

1. Press [M] (iPod) button, [TUNING MODE] button and [DISC 2] button simultaneously.

2. All segments in ﬂ uorescent indicator tube and the LEDs are lighted up.

3. When you want to enter to the model version and destination display mode, press [DISC 1] button. The model information appears on the ﬂ uorescent indicator tube.

4. Each time [DISC 1] button is pressed, the display changes to display software version of the software creation. The sequence is MC, GC, SYS, CD, CDDM, CDMA, CDMB, BDA, BDB, ST, TA, TM, and iPod in this order, and returns to the MC version display.

5. When [DISC 3] button is pressed while the software version is being displayed, the date of the software creation appears.

When [DISC 3] button is pressed again, the display returns to

the software version display. When [DISC 1] button is pressed while the date of the software creation is being displayed, the date of the software creation is displayed in the same order of software version display.

6. Press [DISC 2] button, the key check mode is activated.

7. In the key check mode, the ﬂ uorescent indicator tube displays “K 0 J0 V0”.

Turn the [JOG] clockwise; “J” value increases by one. Turn

the [JOG] counterclockwise; “J” value decreases by one. Each time a button is pressed, “K” value increases. Press their keys on main unit to check whether the key is detected. However, once a button has been pressed, it is no longer taken into account.

“V” value increases in the manner of 0, 1, 2, 3 ... if [VOLUME]

knob is turned clockwise, or it decreases in the manner of 0, 9, 8, 7 ... if [VOLUME] knob is turned counterclockwise.

8. When [EX-CHANGE] button is pressed after all segments in ﬂ uorescent indicator tube and the LEDs light up, alternate segments in ﬂ uorescent indicator tube would light up. If you press [EX-CHANGE] button again, another half of alternate segments in ﬂ uorescent indicator tube would light up. Press [EX-CHANGE] button again would cause all segments lights up.

9. To release from this mode, press three buttons in the same manner as step 1, or disconnect the power cord.
