3.
4-
5.
Before Servicing, unplug the power cord to prevent an electric shock.
When replacing parts, use only manufacture's recommended components for safety.
Check the condition of the power cardoReplace if wear or damage is evident.
After servicing, be sure to restore the lead dress, insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc.
Before returningthe serviced equipment to the customer, be sure to make the following insulation resistance test to
prevent the customer from being exposed to a shock hazard.
1.1 Insulation Resistance Test
1.
2.
3.
Unplug the power cord and short the two prongs of the plug with a jumper wire.
Turn on the power switch.
Measure the resistancevalue with ohmmeter between thejumper AC plug and each exposed metal cabinet part, such
as screwheads, antenna, control shafts, handle brackets, etc.
Equipment with antenna terminals should read between 3MQ and 5.2MQ to all exposed parts* (Fig.1).
Equipment without antenna terminals should read approximately infinity to all exposed parts. (Fig.2).
*Note: Some exposed parts may be isolated from the chassis by designoThese will read infinity.
4. If the measurement is outside the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard. The equipment should be
repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

2Before Repair and Adjustment
Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors POWER PCB C556, C557, C558, C559, C561 and TRANS-
FORMER PCB C705 through a 10 Q, 5W resistorto ground.
DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLy (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this way destroy salid state devices.
After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent.
'"'
Current consumption at AC 127V, 60Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~800mA.
3Protection 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.
2.
3.
Turn off the power.
Determine the cause of the problem and correGíit.
Turn on the power once again after one minute.

5Handling Precautions For Traverse Deck
f'" 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 pick up).
Handling of traverse deck (optical pick up)
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 (LO)and No. 5 (GND)pins on the flexible board (FFC) is shorted with a solde build-
up to prevent damage tothe laserdiode. To connect to the PC board besure to open by removing the solder build-up
and finish the work quickly.
3. Take Gafenot to apply excessive stress to the flexible board (FFC).
4. Do not turn the variable resistor (laser power adjustment). It has already been adjusted.

Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
1. Human body groundling
Use the anti-satatic wrist strap to discharge the static electricity from your body.
Work table grounding
Pul a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the afea where the traverse deck (optica! pickup) isplaced, and
ground the sheet.
r2.
Caution:
The static electricity of your clothes will not be groundedthrough the wrist strap. So,take Gafenot to leí your clothes touch
the traverse deck (optical pickup).
Caution when Replacing the Traverse Deck:
The traverse deck has a short point shourted with solder to proteGíthe lazer diode against electrostatics breakdown. Be
sure to remove the solder from the short point before making connections.

6Precaution 01 Laser Diode
CAUTION:
This unit utilizes a class 1 laser.
Invisible laser radiation is emitted from the optical pick up lens.
When the unit is turned on:
1. Do not look directly into the pick up lens.
2. Do not use optical instruments to look at tlle pick up lens.
3. Do not adjust the preset variable resistor on the pick up lens.
4. Do not disassemble the optical pick up unit.
5. If the optical pick up is replaced use the manufactures's specified replacement pick up only.
6. Use of control or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified here in may result in hazard-
ous radiation exposure.

CAUTION!
THIS PRODUCT UTILlZES A LASER.
USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECI
FIED HERE IN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
