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.

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 AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leaka ge 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. Follo w 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 low­voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Tr d are ex­amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V A C range are suit­able. (See Fig. A)

SERVICING NOTES

ICF-CD863/CD863L

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
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emis­sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objectiv e lens.

LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK

During normal operation of the equipment, emission of the laser
diode is prohibited unless the upper lid is closed while turning ON
the S301. (push switch type)
The following checking method for the laser diode is operable.

• Method
Emission of the laser diode is visually checked.

1. Open the upper lid.

2. Push the S301 as shown in Fig.1.

Note: Do not push the detection lever strongly, or it may be bent or dam-

aged.

3. Press the CD u button.

4. Check the object lens for confirming normal emission of the

laser diode. If not emitting, there is a trouble in the automatic
power control circuit or the optical pick-up.
In this operation, the object lens will move up and down 2
times along with inward motion for the focus search.

CHUCK PLATE JIG ON REPAIRING

On repairing CD section, playing a disc without the CD lid, use
Chuck Plate Jig.

• Code number of Chuck Plate Jig: X-4918-255-1

HOW TO CHANGED THE CERAMIC FILTERS

This model is used two ceramic filters of CF1 and CF3.
You must used same type of color marked ceramic filters in order
to meet same specifications.
Therefore, the ceramic filter must changed two pieces together
since it’s supply two pieces in one package as a spare parts.

1. Connect the oscilloscope to TP (RF) and TP (GND) on the CD
board.

2. Insert the disc (YEDS-18). (Part No. : 3-702-101-01)

3. Press the u (CD) button.

4. Confirm that the oscilloscope waveform is as shown in the
figure below. (eye pattern)
A good eye pattern means that the diamond shape (◊) in the
center of the waveform can be clearly distinguished.
