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.
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 viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow)
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.

“DCAC[]FTM” appears.
Afterward, press the TUNING MODE to start DCAC f actory
test mode.
1.DCAC DSP Data Line Checking
After press the TUNING MODE , DCAC Factory test mode will
start, below display will show:
“DCAC[][][]x” x = 1, 2, 3, 4
If there is error happen, below display will show:
“ERR[]SD0x”x = 1 → D1501 or R1530 or C1512 problem
x = 2 → D1502 problem
x = 3 → D1503 problem
x = 4 → D1504 problem
2.DCAC AUTO CAL MIC board Checking
Connect front left speaker of the receiver and AUTO CAL
microphone. Turn MASTER V OLUME jog, there will be test tone
sound output from front left speaker, and the display will change
accordingly.

For Schematic Diagrams.
Note:
• All capacitors are in µF unless otherwise noted. (p: pF)
50 WV or less are not indicated except for electrolytics and
tantalums.
• All resistors are in Ω and 1/
specified.
• %: indicates tolerance.
• f: internal component.
• 2 : nonflammable resistor.
• 5 : fusible resistor.
• C : panel designation.
Note: The components identified by mark 0 or dotted
line with mark 0 are critical for safety.
Replace only with part number specified.
• A : B+ Line.
• B : B– Line.
•Voltages and waveforms are dc with respect to ground under no-signal (detuned) conditions.
No mark : FM
•Voltages are taken with a VOM (Input impedance 10 MΩ).
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production
tolerances.
•Waveforms are taken with a oscilloscope.
• Circled numbers refer to waveforms.
