SERVICING NOTICES ON CHECKING
As for the places which need special attentions,
they are indicated with the labels or seals on the
cabinet, chassis and parts. Make sure to keep the
indications and notices in the operation manual.
PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK AFTER
SERVICING

Confirm that the screws, parts and wiring which
were removed in order to service are put in the
original positions, or whether there are the
portions which are deteriorated around the
serviced places serviced or not. Check the
insulation between the antenna terminal or
external metal and the AC cord plug blades.
And be sure the safety of that.
2. USE THE DESIGNATED PARTS
The parts in this equipment have the specific
characters of incombustibility and withstand
voltage for safety. Therefore, the part which is
replaced should be used the part which has
the same character.
Especially as to the important parts for safety
which is indicated in the circuit diagram or the
table of parts as a mark, the designated
parts must be used.
1. KEEP THE NOTICES 3. PUT PARTS AND WIRES IN THE
ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER
ASSEMBLING OR WIRING
There are parts which use the insulation
material such as a tube or tape for safety, or
which are assembled in the condition that
these do not contact with the printed board.
The inside wiring is designed not to get closer
to the pyrogenic parts and high voltage parts.
Therefore, put these parts in the original
positions.

REMOVAL
IC
Put the Masking Tape (cotton tape) around the Flat
Package IC to protect other parts from any damage.
(Refer to Fig. 3-1.)
1.
Fig. 3-1
NOTE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF
FLAT PACKAGE IC
Some ICs on the PCB are affixed with glue, so be
careful not to break or damage the foil of each IC
leads or solder lands under the IC when removing it.
NOTE
Masking is carried out on all the parts located within
10 mm distance from IC leads.
Blower type IC
desoldering machine
IC
Heat the IC leads using a blower type IC desoldering
machine. (Refer to Fig. 3-2.)
2.
Fig. 3-2
NOTE
Do not add the rotating and the back and forth
directions force on the IC, until IC can move back and
forth easily after desoldering the IC leads completely.
When IC starts moving back and forth easily after
desoldering completely, pickup the corner of the IC using
a tweezers and remove the IC by moving with the IC
desoldering machine. (Refer to Fig. 3-3.)

When bridge-soldering between terminals and/or the
soldering amount are not enough, resolder using a Thin-
tip Soldering Iron. (Refer to Fig. 3-8.)

NOTE
When the IC leads are bent during soldering and/or
repairing, do not repair the bending of leads. If the
bending of leads are repaired, the pattern may be
damaged. So, be always sure to replace the IC in this
case.
Finally, confirm the soldering status on four sides of the
IC using a magnifying glass.
Confirm that no abnormality is found on the soldering
position and installation position of the parts around the
IC. If some abnormality is found, correct by resoldering.

INSTALLATION
Take care of the polarity of new IC and then install the
new IC fitting on the printed circuit pattern. Then solder
each lead on the diagonal positions of IC temporarily.

PREVENTIVE CHECKS AND SERVICE INTERVALS
The following standard table depends on environmental conditions and usage.
Parts replacing time does not mean the life span for individual parts.
Also, long term storage or misuse may cause transformation and aging of rubber parts.
The following list means standard hours, so the checking hours depends on the conditions.

CLEANING
NOTE
After cleaning the heads with isopropyl alcohol, do not
run a tape until the heads dry completely. If the heads
are not completely dry and alcohol gets on the tape,
damage may occur.
1. AUDIO CONTROL HEAD
Clean the Audio Control Head with the cotton stick
soaked by alcohol. Clean the full erase head in the
same manner. (Refer to the figure below.)
2. TAPE RUNNING SYSTEM
When cleaning the tape transport system, use the
gauze moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
3. CYLINDER
Wrap a piece of chamois around your finger. Dip it in
isopropyl alcohol. Hold it to the cylinder head softly.
Turn the cylinder head counterclockwise to clean it (in
the direction of the arrow). (Refer to the figure below.)
NOTE
Do not exert force against the cylinder head. Do not move
the chamois upward or downward on the head.
Use the chamois one by one.
