5.4. Clearing Self-DiagnosticMemory
<CD Section> (F15, F17, F22, F26, F27, F28, F29)
1. Enteraself-diagnosticmode.
2. Press " /-DEMO"button. Asymbol ofself-diagnosticisindicated
on thedisplayifanerrorisfound. Ifseveral errorsarefound, a

respectiveindication isdisplayedwhen" /-DEMO"button is
pressing repeatedly. (e.g. H01 CD F15 F01) / Ifno erroris
found, only"TEST"indication isdisplayedand remainsunchange
evenif" /-DEMO"button ispressed.
5.5. Displaying Self-DiagnosticResults
<CassetteDeck Section> (H01, H02, H03, F01, F02)
1. Entertheself-diagnosticmode, following theinstructions
describedin[5.2. Entering Self-DiagnosticMode].
2. Insertanormal-positionedmusictapewitherase prevention
niches on bothSides Aand B. Press [TAPE ]button toactivate
theTPS operation sothat thetapeautomaticallystopsat an
interval betweenmusicselections.
3. Press [ /CLEAR]and [TAPE ]buttonstogetheron theremote

6. Handling Precautions ForTraverse Deck
Thelaserdiodeinthetraverse deck (optical pickup)may break downduetopotential difference
causedbystaticelectricityofclothes or humanbody. So, becareful ofelectrostaticbreakdown
during repairofthetraverse deck (optical pickup).
-Handling oftraverse deck (optical pickup)
1. Donotsubject thetraverse deck (optical pickup)tostatic
electricityas itisextremelysensitivetoelectrical shock.
2. To preventthebreakdownofthelaserdiode, anantistatic
shorting pinisinsertedintotheflexibleboard(FFCboard).
3. Take carenottoapplyexcessivestress totheflexibleboard(FFC
board). Whenremoving orconnecting theshortpin, finishthejob
9

inas shorttimeas possible.
4. Donotturnthevariableresistor(laserpoweradjustment). Ithas
alreadybeenadjusted.
-Grounding forelectrostaticbreakdownprevention
1. Humanbodygrounding
Use theanti-staticwrist straptodischargethestaticelectricity
fromyourbody.
2. Worktablegrounding.
Putaconductivematerial (sheet) orsteel sheet on thearea where
thetraverse deck (optical pickup)isplace, and ground thesheet.
Caution:
Thestaticelectricityofyourclothes will notbegroundedthrough
thewrist strap. So, take carenottolet yourclothes touchthe
traverse deck (optical pickup).
Caution whenreplacing theTraverse Deck
Thetraverse deck has ashortpointshortedwithsoldertoprotectthelaserdiodeagainst
electrostatics breakdown. Besuretoremove thesolderfrom theshortpointbeforemaking
connections.
