SECTION 1 SUMMARY
SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
1. Always disconnect the power source before:
1) Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board, module or any other instrument assembly.
2) Disconnecting or reconnecting any instrument electrical plug or other electrical connection.
3) Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor in the instrument.
CAUTION: A wrong part substitution or incorrect polarity installation of electrolytic capacitors may result in an
explosion hazard.
2. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with which instruments covered by this service
manual might be equipped.
3. Do not apply power to this instrument and or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state de-
vice heat sinks are correctly installed.
4. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting
the test instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground lead last.
1) The service precautions are indicated or printed on the cabinet, chassis or components. When servicing,
follow the printed or indicated service precautions and service materials.
2) The Components used in the unit have a specified conflammability and dielectric strength. When replacing
any components, use components which have the same ratings. Components marked in the circuit diagram
are important for safety or for the characteristics of the unit. Always replace with the exact components.
3) An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used and some components are raised above the printed writing
board for safety. The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact with heating components.
Install them as they were.
4) After servicing always check that the removed screws, components and wiring have been installed correctly
and that the portion around the service part has not been damaged. Further check the insulation between
the blades of attachment plug and accessible conductive parts.

ESD PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components com-
monly are called electrostatically sensitive devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits
and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should be used
to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off
any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a know earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a com-
mercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior
to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface
such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD de-
vices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to
install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive
foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the
protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will by installed.
CAUTION : BE SURE NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHASSIS OR CIRCUIT, AND OBSERVE ALL
OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion
such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate
static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).
CAUTION. GRAPHIC SYMBOLS

IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TO THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED
“DANGEROUS VOLTAGE” THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENED TO ALERT
THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION IN

FIRMWARE UPGRADE METHOD
[ MAIN/CD FIRMWARE UPGRADE ]
1. Confirmation of version information
• Change the Source of audio set to tuner.
(Default: tuner)
• Turn power off using power key.
• Press power key for 5 sec.
(After power on, continue pressing)
• After 5 sec, beep sound rings two times.
Then version information would show up at display.
• In order to check version of MAIN/CD system, press band key.
• With beep sound version of system for main, CD is displayed in sequence.
2. Upgrade program reading
• Insert update CD in ACC on state and then [READING --> FILE CHK --> DOWNLORD?] is displayed in order.
3. Upgrade start
• In order to start upgrade, press INT key (No2.) long (more then 2 sec) until “CHECK CD” display on the LCD.
4. Upgrade progress display
• Upgrade is in progress now.
[ CHECK CD --> ERASE --> WRITE --> I-VRF --> D-VRF ]
5. Upgrade completion
• When upgrade finished, the display shows up “DOWN OK”.
After a while, the audio set is reset automatically.
• Caution!
If power is off on the way of upgrading firmware, the set can’t be recovered.
Therefore pay lots of attention for power not to be off.

1-6
• It is sufficient only to supply power for upgrade.
• Shown from the right figure, connect yellow line (Battery) and red line (Ignition) to plus and minus terminal
respectively.
• Jack is connected to the audio set via its shapes matched each other.
• We need power supply for operation of audio set (Voltage : 12~15V Current : Over 2A)
Before connection between set and power supply, adjust voltage level to 15V typically (It is okay up to 12V.)
Power Supply has a variety of shapes and capacity of voltage and current.
At first check these things.
