1 Before Use
Be sure to disconnect the mains cord before adjusting the voltage selector.
Use a minus(-) screwdriver to set the voltage selector (on the rear panel) to the voltage setting for the area in which the unit will
be used. (If the power supply in your area is 117V or 120V, set to the “127V” position.)
Note that this unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made correctly. (There is no voltage selector for some countries,
the correct voltage is already set.)
2 Before Repair and Adjustment
Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C531, C532, C533, C534, C579 through a 10 Ω, 5W resistor to ground.
DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices.
After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent.
Current consumption at AC 110 V, 60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~650mA respectively.
3 Protection Circuitry
The protection circuitry may have operated if either of the following conditions are noticed:
• No sound is heard when the power is turned on.
• Sound stops during a performance.
The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connection wires are
“shorted”, or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used.
If this occurs, follow the procedure outlines below:
1.Turn off the power.
2.Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.
3.Turn on the power once again after one minute.
Note:
When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first turned off and then on again.

The laser diode in the traverse deck (optical pickup) may break
down due to potential difference caused by static electricity of
clothes or human body.
So, be careful of electrostatic breakdown during repair of the
traverse deck (optical pickup).
●Handling of traverse deck (optical pickup)
1.Do not subject the traverse deck (optical pickup) to
static electricity as it is extremely sensitive to electrical
shock.
2.The short land between the No.4 (LD) and No.5 (GND)
pins on the flexible board (FFC) is shorted with a solder
build-up to prevent damage to the laser diode.
To connect to the PC board, be sure to open by
removing the solder build-up, and finish the work
quickly.
3.Take care not to apply excessive stress to the flexible
board (FFC board).
4.Do not turn the variable resistor (laser power
adjustment). It has already been adjusted.
●Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
1.Human body grounding
Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static
electricity from your body.
2.Work table grounding
Put a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the
area where the traverse deck (optical pickup) is placed,
and ground the sheet.
Caution :
The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded
through the wrist strap. So, take care not to let your
clothes touch the traverse deck (optical pickup).
Caution when Replacing the Traverse Deck :
The traverse deck has a short point shorted with solder to
protect the laser diode against electrostatics breakdown. Be
sure to remove the solder from the short point before
making connections.

6 Precaution of Laser Diode
Caution :
This product utilizes a laser diode with the unit turned "ON", invisible laser radiation is emitted from the pick up lens.
Wavelength : 780 nm
Maximum output radiation power from pick up : 100 µW/VDE
Laser radiation from pick up unit is safety level, but be sure the followings:
1.Do not disassemble the optical pick up unit, since radiation from exposed laser diode is dangerous.
2.Do not adjust the variable resistor on the pick up unit. It was already adjusted.
3.Do not look at the focus lens using optical instruments.
4.Recommend not to look at pick up lens for a long time.
ACHTUNG :
Dieses Produkt enthält eine Laserdiode. Im eingeschalteten Zustand wird unsichtbare Laserstrahlung von der Lasereinheit
abgestrahlt.
Wellenlänge : 780nm
Maximale Strahlungsleistung der Lasereinheit :100W/VDE
Die Strahlung an der Lasereinheit ist ungefährlich, wenn folgende Punkte beachtet werden:
1.Die Lasereinheit nicht zerlegen, da die Strahlung an der freigelegten Laserdiode gefährlich ist.
2.Den werkseitig justierten Einstellregler der Lasereinhit nicht verstellen.
3.Nicht mit optischen Instrumenten in die Fokussierlinse blicken.
4.Nicht über längere Zeit in die Fokussierlinse blicken.
ADVARSEL: I dette a apparat anvendes laser.
CAUTION!
THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT
