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
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 microampers).
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)

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
Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your sight.
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.
This caution
label is located
inside the unit.

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.

Iop DATA RECORDING AND DISPLAY WHEN OPTICAL PICK-UP AND NON-VOLATILE MEMORY (IC195 OF
BD BOARD) ARE REPLACED
The Iop value labeled on the optical pick-up can be recorded in the non-volatile memory. By recording the value, it will eliminate the need
to look at the value on the label of the optical pick-up. When replacing the optical pick-up or non-volatile memory (IC195 of BD board),
record the Iop value on the optical pick-up according to the following procedure.
Record Procedure:
1. While pressing the l AMS L knob and x button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the l AMS L knob and
x button.
2. Rotate the l AMS L knob to display “[Service]”, and press the YES button.
3. Rotate the l AMS L knob to display “Iop Write” (C05), and press the YES button.
4. The display becomes “Ref=@@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number) and the numbers which can be changed will blink.
5. Input the Iop value written on the optical pick-up.
To select the number : Rotate the l AMS L knob.
To select the digit: Press the l AMS L knob.
6. When the YES button is pressed, the display becomes “Measu=@@@.@” (@ is an arbitrary number).
7. As the adjustment results are recorded for the 6 value. Leave it as it is and press the YES button.
8. “Complete!” will be displayed momentarily. The value will be recorded in the non-volatile memory and the display will become “Iop
Write”.
9. Press the REPEAT button to complete.
Display Procedure:
1. While pressing the l AMS L knob and x button, connect the power plug to the outlet, and release the l AMS L knob and
x button.
2. Rotate the l AMS L knob to display “[Service]”, and press the YES button.
3. Rotate the l AMS L knob to display “Iop Read” (C26).
4. “@@.@/##.#” is displayed and the recorded contents are displayed.
@@.@ : indicates the Iop value labeled on the optical pick-up.
##.#: indicates the Iop value after adjustment
5. To end, press the l AMS L button or MENU/NO button to display “Iop Read”. Then press the REPEAT button.

RETRY CAUSE DISPLAY MODE
• In this test mode, the causes for retry of the unit during recording can be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube. During playback, the
“track mode” for obtaining track information will be set.
This is useful for locating the faulty part of the unit.
• The following will be displayed :
During recording and stop : Retry cause, number of retries, and number of retry errors.
During playback: Information such as type of disc played, part played, copyright.
These are displayed in hexadecimal.
Procedure:
1. Insert the recordable disc.
2. Press MENU/NO button to display “Edit Menu” on the fluorescent display.
3. Turn l AMS L button to display “All Erase?” on the fluorescent display.
4. Press YES button to display “All Erase??” on the fluorescent display.
5. Press YES button, “Complete!” is displayed on the fluorescent display and it turns off immediately.
6. Procedure 1: Press the x button continuously for about 10 seconds.
Procedure 2: Press the LEVEL/DISPLAY/CHAR button while pressing the x button and MENU/NO button.
7. When the mode is set, “RTs 00c 00e 000” is displayed.
8. Press the z REC button to start recording. Then press the X button and start recording.
9. To check the “track mode”, press the H button to start play.
10.To exit the test mode, press the @/1 button, and turn OFF the power . When “T OC” disappears, disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
If the test mode cannot be exited, refer to “Forced Reset” on page 9.

Convert the hexadecimal display into binary display. If more than two causes, they will be added.
Example
When 42 is displayed:

In this case, the retry cause is combined of “CLV unlock” and “ader5”.
When A2 is displayed:
Higher bit : A = 1010 t b7+b5
Lower bit : 2 = 0010 t b2
The retry cause in this case is combined of “access fault”, “IVR rec error”, and “ader5”.

Example When 84 is displayed:
Higher bit : 8 = 1000 t b7
Lower bit : 4 = 0100 t b2
In this case, as b2 and b7 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “emphasis OFF”, “monaural”,
“original”, “copyright exists”, and “write allowed”.
Example When 07 is displayed:
Higher bit : 0 = 1000 t All 0
Lower bit : 7 = 0111 t b0+b1+b2
In this case, as b0, b1, and b2 are 1 and others are 0, it can be determined that the retry cause is combined of “emphasis ON”, “stereo”,
“original”, “copyright exists”, and “write prohibited”.

TEST MODE
4-1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF TEST MODE
• As loading related operations will be performed regardless of the test mode operations being performed, be sure to check that the disc
is stopped before setting and removing it.
Even if the A EJECT button is pressed while the disc is rotating during continuous playback, continuous recording, etc., the disc will
not stop rotating.
Therefore, it will be ejected while rotating.
Be sure to press the A EJECT button after pressing the MENU/NO button and the rotation of disc is stopped.
4-1-1. Recording laser emission mode and operating buttons
• Continuous recording mode (CREC 1MODE) (C35)
• Laser power check mode (LDPWR CHECK) (C13)
• Laser power adjustment mode (LDPWR ADJUST) (C04)
• Iop check (Iop Compare) (C27)
• Iop value nonvolatile writing (Iop NV Save) (C06)
• Traverse (MO) check (EF MO CHECK) (C14)
• Traverse (MO) adjustment (EF MO ADJUST) (C07)
• When pressing the z REC button.
4-2. SETTING THE TEST MODE
The following are two methods of entering the test mode.
Procedure 1:While pressing the l AMS L knob and x button, connect the power plug to an outlet, and release the l AMS L
knob and x button.
When the test mode is set, “[Check]” will be displayed. Rotating the l AMS L knob switches between the following
three groups; ··· y Check y Service y Develop y ···.
Procedure 2:While pressing the l AMS L knob, connect the power plug to the outlet and release the l AMS L knob.
When the test mode is set, “TEMP CHECK” will be displayed. By setting the test mode using this method, only the “Check”
group of method 1 can be executed.
