Safety precautions
1. This design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components specially for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services should be performed by qualified personnel only. 2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design alterations of the product should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer`s warranty and will further relieve the manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom. 3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the Parts List in the Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards. 4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges for the prevention of electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed that they have been returned to normal, after re-assembling. 5. Leakage current check (Electrical shock hazard testing) After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the product (antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock. Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check. Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet , particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.) Alternate check method Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having 1,000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15 F AC-type capacitor between an exposed AC VOLTMETER metal part and a known good earth ground. (Having 1000 Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the ohms/volts, AC voltmeter. or more sensitivity) Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part, particularly any exposed metal part having a 0.15 F AC TYPE return path to the chassis, and measure the AC Place this voltage across the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in probe on the AC outlet and repeat each measurement. Voltage each exposed 1500 10W measured any must not exceed 0.75 V AC (r.m.s.). metal part. This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
Good earth ground

Warning
1. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards. 2. It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that these safety standards are maintained. 3. Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant safety standards. 4. It is essential that safety critical components are replaced by approved parts. 5. If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local voltage. ! CAUTION Burrs formed during molding may be left over on some parts of the chassis. Therefore, pay attention to such burrs in the case of preforming repair of this system. 1-2

Preventing static electricity
1. Grounding to prevent damage by static electricity
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), which occurs when static electricity stored in the body, fabric, etc. is discharged, can destroy the laser diode in the traverse unit (optical pickup). Take care to prevent this when performing repairs.

2. About the earth processing for the destruction prevention by static electricity
In the equipment which uses optical pick-up (laser diode), optical pick-up is destroyed by the static electricity of the work environment. Be careful to use proper grounding in the area where repairs are being performed.

2-1 Ground the workbench
Ground the workbench by laying conductive material (such as a conductive sheet) or an iron plate over it before placing the traverse unit (optical pickup) on it.

2-2 Ground yourself
Use an anti-static wrist strap to release any static electricity built up in your body.

(caption) Anti-static wrist strap Conductive material (conductive sheet) or iron plate

3. Handling the optical pickup
1. In order to maintain quality during transport and before installation, both sides of the laser diode on the replacement optical pickup are shorted. After replacement, return the shorted parts to their original condition. (Refer to the text.) 2. Do not use a tester to check the condition of the laser diode in the optical pickup. The tester's internal power source can easily destroy the laser diode.

4. Handling the traverse unit (optical pickup)
1. Do not subject the traverse unit (optical pickup) to strong shocks, as it is a sensitive, complex unit. 2. Cut off the shorted part of the flexible cable using nippers, etc. after replacing the optical pickup. For specific details, refer to the replacement procedure in the text. Remove the anti-static pin when replacing the traverse unit. Be careful not to take too long a time when attaching it to the connector. 3. Handle the flexible cable carefully as it may break when subjected to strong force. 4. It is not possible to adjust the semi-fixed resistor that adjusts the laser power. Do not turn it

Precautions for measuring
1.Input 30 pF and 33 kohm to the IF sweeper output and 0.082 F and 100 kohm to the sweeper input, respectively. 2.Lower the output level of the IF sweeper as much as possible in the adjustable range. 3.The IF sweeper needs no adjustment as it is a fixed component. 4.It is not necessary to perform any kind of adjustment on the MPX, as a ceramic oscillator is used for measuring. 5.FM tracking adjustment is not necessary as a fixed coil is used. 6.The grounding circuit is separate from the input and output. Therefore, be sure to connect to ground carefully when measuring both the input and output voltages simultaneously using 2 channels of the electronic voltmeter. 7.The speaker's minus terminal cannot be connected to ground when using a BTL format amplifier. Therefore, do not connect any type of ground wire to this terminal. The OTL format is used with this system. 8.Use a large wire to connect to the dummy impedance generator when measuring the output. 9.Be sure to use a band pass filter (DV-12) when using mixed tape.

Maintenance of laser pickup
(1) Cleaning the pick up lens Befor you replace the pick up, please try to clean the lens with a alcohol soaked cotton swab. (2) Life of the laser diode (Fig.1) When the life of the laser diode has expired, the following symptoms wil appear. (1) The level of RF output (EFM output:ampli tude of eye pattern) will below.

Replacement of laser pickup
Turn off the power switch and,disconnect the power cord from the ac outlet.

Replace the pickup with a normal one.(Refer to " Pickup Removal " on the previous page)

Is RF output 1.1 0.15Vp-p?

NO Replace it.

Plug the power cord in,and turn the power on. At this time,check that the laser emits for about 3seconds and the objective lens moves up and down. Note: Do not observe the laser beam directly.

YES O.K (Fig.1) Check the eye-pattern at TP1. Play a disc.

(3) Semi-fixed resistor on the APC PC board The semi-fixed resistor on the APC printed circuit board which is attached to the pickup is used to adjust the laser power.Since this adjustment should be performed to match the characteristics of the whole optical block, do not touch the semi-fixed resistor. If the laser power is lower than the specified value,the laser diode is almost worn out, and the laser pickup should be replaced. If the semi-fixed resistor is adjusted while the pickup is functioning normally,the laser pickup may be damaged due to excessive current.

Finish.
