them
necessarily
be
obtained
by
using
replacement

which
have
these
special
safety
characteristics
are
identified
in
the

1. Check ‘‘VTP66T6-24A =B, VTP66J6-24A =E/G” of
power transformer and make sure that any bolt is not
loosened.
2. Check the power source cord indication ‘’ <VDEp> /E,G,
BASEC.BS6500/B version’’ of attachment plug
“KP-419C"’, and make sure that the cord is free from
any defect (damage).
3. The primary circuit of the P.C. board and the pattern
contacting the circuit should be extrusion-soldered by as
much as one round to acquire a creeping distance.
* Any back-mounted parts of the P.C. board should be
fixed with a spacer or bond.
5. Since the following parts are exothermic, make sure that
such parts will not come into contact with any electrolytic
capacitor/condenser, wire and other parts:
CD block: The IC306, heat sink and transistors (Q901,
Q902, 903, D901 and IC503) are exothermic
parts.

Deck block: The diode (D951), IC351, heat sink and
transistor (Q801) are exothermic parts.
6. Any wire, etc. should be clamped or bonded as indicated
in the above diagram so that such wire will not be posi-
tioned close to any exothermic parts.
7. The 10PIN wire of the tuner P.C. board should be treated
by drawing it out to the tuner P.C. board side after
inserting the connector in order that the wire will not
approach close to any exothermic parts.
8. By using the special tool, attach the power cord bushing
to the position where ‘‘4N-4”’ is marked.
9. Set and firmly fix the fuses F951, F953 and F954
respectively to T630mA T1.6A and T630 after confirm-
ing the respective positions.
Other
A barrier should be provided between the transformer
connector and jack holder.

© Active Hyper-Bass circuit
Generally, since low-frequency sound is not reproduced
satisfactorily by small speakers, a bass-boost circuit is
used to reinforce low-frequency sound. However, if the
volume is turned up with bass-boost reinforcement, low-
frequency sound is easily saturated which results in
distortion. As shown in the diagram, the Active Hyper-
Bass circuit incorporates a control circuit in which the
cut-off frequency of low-frequency sound is varied in
the bass-boost circuit, with the cut-off frequency
controlled by instructions from a level identification
circuit. With these circuits, when the volume increases,
low-frequencies are sharply attenuated, which prevents
distortion caused by the saturation of low frequencies. i

control operation is possible within about 7 m (approx. 23
ft). However, since the remote control range is less when
the unit is used at an angle, use directly in front of the
REMOTE SENSOR, as far as possible.
Do not expose the REMOTE SENSOR to strong light (direct
sunlight or artificial lighting) and make sure that there are
no obstacles between the REMOTE SENSOR and the
