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.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks 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.

Laser component in this product is capable
of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for
Class 1.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear
exterior.

The following caution label is located inside the unit.

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)

SERVICING NOTES

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.

3. In the key check mode, the fluorescent indicator tube displays
“K 1 J0 V0”. Each time a button is pressed, “K”value increases.
However, once a button is pressed, it is no longer taken into
account.
“J” Value increases like 1, 2, 3 ... if rotating JOG knob in “+”
direction, or it decreases like 0, 9, 8 ... if rotating in “–” direction.
“V” Value increases like 1, 2, 3 ... if rotating VOLUME knob
in “+” direction, or it decreases like 0, 9, 8 ... if rotating in “–”
direction.

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

• This mode can run the CD sled motor freely. Use this mode, for

instance, when cleaning the pickup.

Procedure:

1. Select the function “CD”.

2. Press three buttons GROOVE , ENTER/NEXT , and
FLASH simultaneously.

3. The Sled Servo mode is selected, if “CD” is flashing on the

fluorescent indicator tube.

4. With the CD in stop status, press ) button in CD section to

move the pickup to outside track, or 0 button to inside track.

5. To exit from this mode, perform as follows:

1) Move the pickup to the most inside track.

2) Press three buttons in the same manner as step 2.

Note:

• Always move the pickup to most inside track when exiting from

this mode. Otherwise, a disc will not be unloaded.

• Do not run the sled motor excessively, otherwise the gear can be

chipped.

[Change-over of AM T uner Step between 9kHz and 10kHz]

• A step of AM channels can be changed over between 9kHz and

10kHz.

Procedure:

1. Press POWER button to turn the set ON.

2. Select the function “TUNER”, and press TUNER/BAND

button to select the BAND “AM”.

3. Press POWER button to turn the set OFF.

4. Press ENTER/NEXT and POWER buttons simultaneously,

and the display of fluorescent indicator tube changes to “AM
9k STEP” or “AM 10k STEP”, and thus the channel step is
changed over.

2-1. Operating Method of Aging Mode

1. Load a commercially available 10-minute tape into the decks
A and B respectively.
(If a 10-minute tape is not available, another tape may be
used but a cycle time will be longer.)

2. Select the function “TAPE”.

3. Rewind tapes in advance by pressing 0 button
respectively on decks A and B.

4. Press three buttons GROOVE , ENTER/NEXT , and
