Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
Q
Q
• 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.
TEL 13942296513 QQ 376315150 892498299
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.

Note: The components identified by mark 0 or dotted line
• A : B+ Line.
• B : B– Line.
• Voltages and waveforms are dc with respect to ground
under no-signal (detuned) conditions.
no mark : TUNER
• 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.
Voltage variations may be noted due to normal production tolerances.
• Circled numbers refer to waveforms.
• Signal path.
F: AUDIO (ANALOG)
J: AUDIO (DIGITAL)
f: TUNER
5
with mark 0 are critical for safety.
