BEFORE RETURNING THE AUDIO PRODUCT
(Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the audio product to the user, perform the
following safety checks.
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not
pinched or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis
and other metal parts in the audio product.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as insulating materials,
cabinet, terminal board, adjustment and compartment covers
or shields, mechanical insulators etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for leakage
current in the following manner.
* Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120 volt AC outlet.
* Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt resistor
paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with all exposed
metal cabinet parts and a known earth ground, such as
conduit or electrical ground connected to earth ground.
* Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohm per volt, or higher,
sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the
resistor (See diagram).
* Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metal parts
having a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal cabinet,
screw heads, knobs and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.)
and measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor.

• Setting the Test Mode
Keeping the FF/FWD button and MEMORY/SET button
pressed, turn on POWER. Then, the frequency is initially set
in the memory as shown in Table. Call it with the JOG DIAL
knob to use it for adjustment and check of tuner circuit.
The test mode applied to this microcomputer has three modes, namely ordinary test mode to be used for adjustment or
measurement, aging test mode to be used for aging test, and self-diagnosis test mode for self-inspection in case of final product
inspection.
1. Turning on the test mode
To turn on the specific test mode, press the POWER button, holding down the following two buttons in the ordinary stand-by
mode (power off state). In this case only the main unit button is valid. Even when the POWER of remote control button is set
to on, the test mode is not turned on.
[Ordinary test mode]
1. CD Test Mode (TEST 1)…………………… Volume/JOG Dial Selector + FF/FWD
3. Electronic volume Test Mode (TEST 3)……REW/REV + FF/FWD
4. Timer Test Mode (TEST 4)………………… FUNCTION + Volume Select
5. LCD Test Mode (TEST 5)……………………FUNCTION + FF/FWD
[Self-diagnosis Test Mode]
1. Button input diagnosis test mode (TEST6).…
REW/REV + Volume Select
2. CD Test Mode (TEST 1)
In the CD test mode the operation of each step is enabled even when the LID-SW is off. However, if focus cannot be set in step
3 or any error processing is started, it is impossible to proceed to the next step. When the error processing is started, operations
other than termination of test mode by pressing the POWER button or return to the step 1 by pressing the STOP button are inhibited.
1. Step 1 Mode
When the CD test mode is turned on, the following indication lights, the processing (until turning-off of CD STB terminal of CD
initialization operation flow) is executed, and the next button input is waited.
After lighting for one second
If the following operation buttons are pressed in this state, the operation is performed as follows.
"POWER".................The test mode is turned off, the power is turned off, and the ordinary standby mode is set.

Other cautions
• TOC IL is not executed in the test mode.
• As for button operations other than those shown above, only the sound volume operation (with JOG) is accepted.
3. Tuner Test Mode (TEST 2)
1. Outline of tuner (radio) test mode
The tuner test mode is intended to store the adjustment and measurement frequencies in the preset memory CH without
frequency setting by adjusting personnel when the tuner section is adjusted in the production line.
2. Details of tuner test mode
When the power is turned on by using the "POWER" button while the "Volume/JOG Dial Selector" and "Volume Select"
buttons are held down in POWER OFF state, the frequency for adjustment and measurement of destination specified by the
AREA terminal is preset and stored in the preset memory CH. However, Ordinary 1 and Ordinary 2 are set to the designation
(destination selected by SPAN switching operation) set when the test mode is set. (As for frequencies to be preset and stored
for each destination, refer to item 3.)
The tuner test mode is started from preset No.1.
The operations of test mode are identical with the ordinary operations of TUNER function. However, FUNCTION switching
is invalid.
Since it is necessary to discard the content of preset memory when the tuner test mode is ended, "0000" or "1111" bits are
written in the memory to be checked in case of memory check (in case of initial setting) so that memory abnormality is detected
in case of initial setting so as to ensure memory initialization.
When the tuner test mode is turned on, the following indication lights for one second.
• The TUNER TEST2 mode is set as a result of Volume Select + POWER. -> IF AC is set to OFF in the TEST2 mode, the initial
state is restored.
When POWER is set to OFF, the memory of TEST2 mode is protected.
When the power is turned on again, the ordinary operation is enabled while the data is stored in the
memory (besides TUNER).
If AC OFF state is maintained in this state for about 1/2 day, start is executed in the initial state.
• To clear the whole memory, insert the AC cord, holding down MEMORY + PLAY.

3. Preset frequencies for various destinations (random preset memory)
When this mode is set, BASS/TREBLE is set to 0 (0 dB) and SURROUND mode is set to off, and start-up function is set to CD
when volume is -14 dB (STEP 17). The button operations in the test mode are the same as those of ordinary operation excepting
sound volume UP/DOWN.
(1) The indication is the same as that of ordinary operation excepting test mode setting.
(2) The sound volume control with the sound volume UP/DOWN button is only the following 3 steps unlike the ordinary state.
(3) BASS/TREBLE and SURROUND are switched when button operation is performed.
5. Timer test Mode (TEST 4)
When the test mode is set, the following indication lights for one second.
The current time and timer time are set in the following procedure to perform the timer playback.
1.Set the current time to 1:00, set the timer to ON time 1:02, set the function to Tape, and set volume STEP 8. One minute is counted
as one second, and the timer playback operation is performed. The fade-in (when playback is started) is executed at a rate of
one step for 0.5 sec. After completion of fade-in the fade-out is executed at a rate of one step for 0.5 sec (WAIT 1 sec inserted).
After completion of fade-out the power is turned off (after WAIT 1 sec), and the mode is changed to the standby mode.
The indication during operation is the same as that of ordinary timer operation.
6. LCD Test Mode (TEST 5)
When the LCD test mode is set, all the LCD segments are lighted. After that the indication is changed as follows according to
the "PLAY" button input.
Lighting of all segments Lighting of odd segments Lighting of even segments

7. Key input diagnosis Test Mode (TEST 6)
When the test mode is set, the following indication appears.
This test mode is intended to check whether all the main unit buttons can be detected. Accordingly, in this test mode checking
as to whether the "POWER" button was pressed after all the buttons shown below were pressed is performed. If the result is
OK, OK is indicated. Even any one of keys was not pressed, an error is indicated. In case of OK termination or error termination
exit from this mode occurs when the "POWER" button is pressed next time, and the standby mode is set.
1. In case of "Review" + "Volume/Jog Dial Select Button"
The following 13 buttons are detected as all buttons.
The OK/NG indication of test result is as follows.

NOTES ON SCHEMA TIC DIAGRAM
• Resistor:
To differentiate the units of resistors, such symbol as K and
M are used: the symbol K means 1000 ohm and the symbol
M means 1000 kohm and the resistor without any symbol is
ohm-type resistor. Besides, the one with “Fusible” is a fuse
type.
• Capacitor:
To indicate the unit of capacitor, a symbol P is used: this
symbol P means micro-micro-farad and the unit of the
capacitor without such a symbol is microfarad. As to
electrolytic capacitor, the expression “capacitance/withstand
voltage” is used.
(CH), (TH), (RH), (UJ): Temperature compensation
(ML): Mylar type
