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
• K eep 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.

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 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. 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 A C voltmeter . The “limit” indica tion 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 A C range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

Setting
If your receiver has a voltage selector on the rear panel,
check that the voltage selector on the rear panel of the
receiver is set to the local power supply voltage. If not,
use a screwdriver to set the selector to the correct position
before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet.

DISASSEMBLY
Note: Follow the disassembly procedure in the numerical order given.
All fluorescent segments are tested. When this test is activated,
all segments turn on at the same time, then each segment turns on
one after another.
Procedure:
1. While depressing, the [A.F.D] and the [DIMMER] buttons simultaneously, press the po wer `/1 button to turn on the main
power.
2. All segments turn on at the same time, then each segment tur ns
on press the [A.F.D] button.
Factory Set Mode
All preset contents are reset to the default setting.
Procedure:
1. While depressing the [SET UP], and the [DIMMER] buttons
simultaneously, press the power `/1button to turn on the
main power. The message Factry Set appears and the present
contents are reset to the default values.
All Clear Mode
All preset contents are cleared when this mode is activated. Use
this mode before returning the product to clients upon completion
of repair.
Procedure:
1. While depressing the [SET UP] button simultaneously, press
the power `/1 button to turn on the main power. The machine enters the DEMO mode.
DEMO mode: Wait a while, then the demonstration starts. If
the power `/1 button is pressed often the demonstration has
started, the power is turned off, and the demonstration resumes
if the power

`/1 button is pressed again.
Sound Field Clear Mode
The preset sound field is cleared when this mode is activ ated. Use
this mode before returning the product to clients upon completion
of repair.
Procedure:
1. While depressing the [SOUND FIELD MODE + ] button, press
the power `/1 button to turn on the main power. The message S.F Initialize appears and initialization is performed.
( )
AM Channel Step 9 kHz/10 kHz
Selection Mode (US, Canadian, and E Models)
Either the 9 kHz step or 10 kHz step can be selected for the AM
channel step.
Procedure:
1. Set the FUNCTION to AM. Turn off the main power.
2. While depressing the [TUNING+] button or the [PRESET
TUNING +] button, press the po wer `/1 button to turn on the
main power.
3. Either the message AM 9kHz Step or AM 10kHz Step appears.
Select the desired step.
DSP Test Mode
It tests whether the DSP works correctly or not. When the DSP
test is activated, the test data is output from the DSP (IC1401:
CXD2712R) of the DIGITAL board and is written in the RAM
(IC1402: IDT71V016S). When the test data is read from the RAM
by the DSP , the data output must be equi valent to the original data.
If they disagree, an error is triggered. Errors can be caused by the
broken data line or defective soldering.
Procedure:
1. While pressing the [SOUND FIELD MODE + ] and [DIMMER]
buttons, press the `/1 button to enter the DSP test mode.
2. The message DSP TEST MODE appears. When an error occurs, the message DSP2 ERROR is displayed. When there is
no error, the message DSP2 NO ERROR appears and the 1
kHz signal is output to all channels.
3. Use the [MUTING] button, when selecting the SINE WAVE,
THROUGH, or IMPLUSE mode.

Version Mode
When this mode is used, the microprocessor version number is
displayed.
Procedure:
1. Press the `/1 button while pressing the [MUTING], and [DIM-
MER] buttons to turn on the power. The microprocessor ver-
