About CD-Rs/CD-RWs and MP3 files
This player can play CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the CD­DA format* and MP3 files recorded in the CD-ROM format, but playback capability may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording device.
* CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is
a recording standard used for Audio CDs.
Notes on chip component replacement
Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
Keep 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 AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica­tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low­voltage 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)
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra­diation exposure.

SERVICING NOTES

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro­static break-down because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body. During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair parts. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emis­sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objectiv e lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION CHECK
During normal operation of the equipment, emission of the laser diode is prohibited unless the upper lid is closed while turning ON the S701. (push switch type) The following checking method for the laser diode is operable.
Method Emission of the laser diode is visually checked.
1. Open the upper lid.
2. Push the S701 as shown in Fig.1.
Note: Do not push the detection lever strongly, or it may be bent or dam-
aged.
3. Press the u button.
4. Check the object lens for confirming normal emission of the
laser diode. If not emitting, there is a trouble in the automatic power control circuit or the optical pick-up. In this operation, the object lens will move up and down 2 times along with inward motion for the focus search.

About “MP3”
What is the MP3?
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing a sound sequence. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.
Playable “MP3” files on this player
You can only play MP3 files recorded by following requirements.
USABLE MEDIA
CD-Rs and CD-RWs
USABLE DISC FORMAT
You can use ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 2 and Joliet extension format discs. In some cases, MP3 files that are recorded in a format other than these formats may not play normally or the file and folder names may not be displayed correctly. The major specifications of the usable disc format are as follows:
¥ Maximum directory steps: 8 ¥ Usable characters for a file/folder name:
A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9, _ (underscore)
¥ Maximum number of characters for a file
name: 64 including quotation marks and a 3-character extension code
Notes
¥ When naming, be sure to add the file extension
mp3 to the file name.
¥ If you put the extension mp3 to a file other
than an MP3 file, the player cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers.
¥ The file name does not correspond to the ID tag.
THE USABLE NUMBER OF FOLDERS/FILES
¥ Maximum folder number: 255 ¥ Maximum file number: 255
SETTINGS FOR COMPRESSION SOFTWARE AND WRITING SOFTWARE
¥ To compress a source for an MP3 file, we
recommend setting the transfer bit rate of the compression software to 44.1 kHz,
128kbps, and Constant Bit Rate.
¥ To record up to the maximum capacity, set
to the halting of writing.
¥ To record at one time up to the maximum
capacity on media that has nothing recorded it, set to Disc at Once.
NOTES FOR SAVING FILES ON THE MEDIA
When the disc is inserted, the player reads all the files on that disc. If there are many folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start play. Do not save unnecessary folders or files other than MP3 ones in the disc to be used for MP3 listening.
We recommend that you do not save other types files or unnecessary folders on a disc that has MP3 files.
About “ID3 tag”
ID3 tag is a format for adding certain information (song title, artist name, album name, etc.) to MP3 files. This player conforms to Version 1.1 of the ID3 tag format. If the file has the ID3 tag information, song title, artist name and album name can be displayed.
Note
If you use a version other than 1.1, ID3 tag information will not be displayed correctly.
