1.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts
which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation
papers shields are properly installed.
3. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from
being exposed to shock hazards.
1.1.1 LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK
1.1.2 LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See Figure 1.)
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT

1.1.1 LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug and each
exposed metallic cabinet part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts,
etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis,the reading should be
between 1MΩand 5.2Ω.
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be
.

1.1.2 LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See
Figure 1.)
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this
check.
2. Connect a 1.5kΩ, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15μF capacitors, between each
exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in
Figure 1.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across
the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage current tester
(Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must
not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case a measurement is outsideof the limits specified, there is a
possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is
returned to the customer.

2 Handling the Lead-free Solder

2.1 About lead free solder (PbF)
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT

2.1 About lead free solder (PbF)
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
Distinction of PbF P.C.B. :
P.C.B.s (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp on the P.C.B.
Caution:
●Pb free solder has a higher melting point that standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50
- 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher.
Please use a high temperature soldering iron. In case of the soldering iron with
temperaturecontrol, please set it to 700 ± 20°F (370 ± 10°C).
●Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/600°C).
●When soldering or unsoldering, please completely remove all of the solder on the pins or
solder area, and be sure to heat the soldering points with the Pb free solder until it melts
enough.

3 Before Repair and Adjustment
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C546, C547, C548, C549 through a 10 Ω,
1 W 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 230V, 50Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~400 mA (E).
Current consumption at AC 230~240V, 50Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~400 mA (EB).

4 Protection Circuitry
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
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.

5 Connection of the Speaker Cables
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
●Be sure to connect speaker cables before connecting the AC power supply cord.
●The load impedance of any speaker used with this unit must be 4Ω.
●Be sure to connect the cable from the right speaker to the right terminal and the cable from the
left speaker to the left terminal.
1. Strip off the outer covering, and twist the center conductor. Make sure the bare ends of the
wires are not unravelled. (If they are, twist them tight again.)
2. Insert the wire to the rear panel of the unit and close the lever.
Notes :
●To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit positive (+) and negative (-) speaker wires.
●Be sure to connect only positive (red) wires to positive (+) terminals and negative (black)
wires to negative (-) terminals.

6 Disassembly Procedure
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
“ATTENTION SERVICER”
Some chassis components may have sharp edges.
Be careful when disassembling and servicing.
1. This section describes procedures for checking the operation of the major printed circuit
boards and replacing the main components.
2. For reassembly after operation checks or replacement, reverse the respective procedures.
Special reassembly procedures are described only when required.
3. Select items from the following index when checks or replacement are required.
