■ TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
1. Critical Components Information
Components having special characteristics are marked Z
and must be replaced with parts having specifications equal
to those originally installed.
2. Leakage Current Measurement (For 120V Models Only)
When service has been completed, it is imperative to verify
that all exposed conductive surfaces are properly insulated
from supply circuits.
● Meter impedance should be equivalent to 1500 ohm shunted
by 0.15µF.
WALL
OUTLET
● Leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA.
● Be sure to test for leakage with the AC plug in both
polarities.

* When assembling the Rear Panel, check to ensure that
the gasket is not damaged so as to prevent air leakage
from occurring.
● Installation of emblem
1. Put the emblem into the cabinet at the specified position.
2. Place a piece of cloth/wood on top of the emblem.
3. Using a mallet, hammer the emblem in place through
the cloth/wood.
* Use special care not to cause damage to the emblem or
cabinet while hammering the emblem.

● Installation of power switch
Rapid cures bond (such as 5 minute epoxy) is required to fix the power switch.
As shown in Fig. A, apply r apid cures bond (such as 5 minute epo xy) to the pow er s witch (the area which
contacts the rear panel), insert it in the rear panel and make sure it is fixed.
(Inserting the power switch in the rear panel only would not be sufficient for its secure installation.)
●
Precaution for installation of power cord
After connecting the power cord, be sure to apply the rapid cures bond (such as 5 minute epo xy) to the
cord stopper as shown in Fig. A,

■ ADJUSTMENTS

Confirmation of Power Amp operation
For the power amplifier which has been repaired, it
is absolutely necessary to confirm that a correct
waveform is obtained at points indicated by A and B
in the schematic diagram according to the following
procedure.
Devices required
Signal generator
8Ω or 6Ω load resistor
Oscilloscope (dual trace type)
Connection
1) Connect the output signal from the signal generator
to the input terminal of YST-SW320.
2) Disconnect the connector terminal connected to the
speaker unit and reconnect it to the load resistor.
3) Connect the HOT side of the oscilloscope CH1 probe
to the point A or B indicated in the figure and the
GND side to the GND of the main unit.
4) Connect the oscilloscope CH2 input to the red side
of the connector cable, which is connected with the
load resistor.
At this time, the GND terminal of CH2 must be left
unconnected.
Setting
1) Set the signal generator to the sine wave, 100Hz and
minimum output level settings.
2) Set the volume of YST-SW320 to the minimum
position.
3) Turn on the power to YST-SW320.
4) Adjust the output level of the signal generator and the
volume of YST-SW320 so that the output level
observed at oscilloscope CH2 is 28Vp-p.
● Idling Adjustment
To stabilize operation of the amplifier, turn ON the
power with no input signal and wait for 1 or 2 minutes
in non loaded condition before the adjustment.
Adjust VR1 so that the voltage between terminals
TP11 and TP12 is DC 50mV to 250mV.
● Confirmation of AUTO STANDBY
Measuring Condition
R60 = 1MΩ
