TABLE OF CONTENTS
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.

SECTION 1
SERVISE NOTE
[Service Mode]
The service mode enables to operate the mechanism of WM-EX678
while the MAIN board is opened.
Rotation of the idler gear (A) (S side) is detected using the photoreflector (PH701) in the WM-EX678. PH701 is located on the
MAIN board, therefore the rotation of the idler gear (A) (S side)
cannot be detected by PH701 when the MAIN board is removed.
As a result, the motor cannot be controlled and cannot run correctly.
To repair the machine after the MAIN board is removed while the
main power is turned on, follow the procedures as described below.
1. Setting
1) Remove the cabinets referring to section “3. DISASSEMBL Y”.
Open the MAIN board.
2) Connect the motor (M901) and the plunger solenoid (PM901)
to the MAIN board using the jumper wires. When the extension
jig (1-769-143-11) (10 wires as a set) is used, they can be
connected easily.
3) Short the TAPE DETECT switch (S901-1) and the ATS switch
(S901-2).
4) Connect an AF oscillator to TP53 (P. IN) and TP14 (GND).
5) Connect DC 1.3 V from external regulated power supply to ‘
and ’ terminals of the battery .
2. PRE-SET status
The PLA Y, FF and REW modes can be entered only from the PRESET status.
1) Check that the slider (NR) is in the center position (S701), and
the FWD/REV switch is also in the center position. When
these switches are not in the center position, set them to the
PRE-SET status as follows.
2) Move the FWD/REV switch (S701) to the same position as the
slider (NR) is set.
3) The slider (NR) can be moved when the main power of the
regulated power supply is turned OFF once then back ON.
Move the FWD/REV switch (S701) to the center position in
synchronism with the timing when the slider (NR) is moved.
3. FF, REW modes
1) Check that the PRE-SET status is set.
2) Connect square wave or sine wave to TP53 (P. IN) and TP14
(GND). (See illustration below.)
3) Press the p switch (S702) to enter the STOP mode.
4) Press the FF AMS switch (S704) and the REW AMS switch
(S705).
4. PLAY mode
1) Check that the PRE-SET status is set.
2) Connect square wave or sine wave to TP53 (P. IN) and TP14
(GND). (See illustration below.)
3) Press the p switch (S702) to enter the stop mode.
4) When the 9(REPEAT switch (S703) of the MAIN board
is pressed, the slider (N/R) moves once to the F side then moves
to the R side. When the FWD/REV switch (S701) is pressed
in the synchronism with the above timing, the machine can
enter the PLAY (R side) mode. Press the 9(REPEAT
switch (S703) again, and move the FWD/REV switch (S701)
in the synchronism with the motion of slider (NR). It enables
the machine to enter into the PLAY (F side) mode.
Note 1: When you fail to enter the PLAY mode, re-start from step
1) PRE-SET status.
Note 2: Regarding the 9(REPEAT (S703), p (S702),
FF AMS (S704), and REW AMS (S705) switches, use
these switches of the remote control unit as much as possible.
Note 3: If a headphones are used, the beep sound shows the timing
of the FWD/REV switch (S701).
