1.2. ABOUTLEADFREE SOLDER(PbF)
Distinction ofPbF PCB:
PCBs(manufactured)using leadfree solderwill have aPbF stampon thePCB.
Caution:
-Pbfree solderhas ahighermelting pointthanstandardsolder,
Typicallythemelting pointis50-70°F(30-40°C)higher. Please use
ahigh temperaturesoldering iron. Incase ofsoldering iron with
temperaturecontrol,please set itto700±20°F(370±10°C)
-Pbfree solderwill tend tosplashwhenheatedtoo high (about
1100°F/600°C).
Whensoldering or unsoldering, please completelyremove all ofthesolderon thepinsor solder
area, and besuretoheatthesoldering pointswiththePbfree solderuntil itmeltsenough.
2. GENERALDESCRIPTIONS
2.1. SERVICECAUTION-1
WhentheMicroprocessor IC6001 and/or Back-up batteryB7751 arereplaced, readthefollowing
procedurecarefullyand proceedit.
[REASONS]
ThereisaRAMintheIC6001, whichisbacking up:
1. ProgrammeNavigation Data [See NOTE1]
2. TVTuning Data
3. PG ShifterAdjustmentData
3

4. Option Setting Data
WhenIC6001 arereplaced, all above listeddatabecomenotavailable.
These dataisbackedup byusing thepowersource of:
*ACConnected:ACPowersource
*ACDisconnected:Back-up Battery(B7751)&Back-up Capacitor (C7752)
[NOTE1]
Asfor your reference, withoutinserting atapeintoaVCR, you canconfirm thattheNAVIdata
thatisback up withIC6001 as showninthefollowing steps.
1. Indicate the"NAVI"markon theFrontInformation Panel. (Press
theMenu button and select theoption, thenset the"NAVI"toON
mode.)
2. Turnon theService Modeand press the"NAVI"button on the
Remote Controllerinmorethan5seconds. The"NAVI"data list is
displayedon theMonitor. (Press the"MENU"button on the
Remote Controllerforcancellation.)
Although storedNAVIdatacanbeconfirmedon themonitor, thereisno way totransfertheNAVI
datatoIC6001whichisnewlymounted.
2.1.1. REPLACINGPROCEDURE [IC6001]
[1.PREPARATION]
Beforereplacing IC6001:
1. Take note that storedTVbroadcast channels. (Because, its user
maystoreTVbroadcasts bymanuallyotherthan"AutoTuning"
operation and itisalsoerased.)
NOTE:
During servicing, do notmake ashortcircuitbetweenIC6001-pin37 (5V)withotherline/
Componentsotherwise IC6001 may bebroken.
CAUTION:
*Whenreplacing theB7751, besuretoread/follow the"HOWTO
REPLACETHELITHIUMBATTERY"section.
[2.REPLACINGPROCEDURE INSTEPS]
STEP1.PREPARATION

1. Disconnect theACplug beforeremoving theC.B.A. with
Mechanismunitbyreferring totheDisassemblyprocedure.
STEP2.REPLACE THE IC6001
1. Replace theIC6001. (Donotmake ashortcircuitbetweenIC6001-
pin37 and otherpins/Components.)
STEP3.RESETTHE IC6001 ATONCE
1. Connect theACplug.
2. Connect ajumperwirebetweenTL7510 (RESET)and TL7509
(GND)forasecond toreset theMicroprocessorIC6001.
Note:
Since theresistance atpin2as well as pin3ofIC6001 decides themodel distinction data, there
isno needtosetup theModel code, whichisnecessaryinthepreviousmodels.
STEP4.LINE-INSETTING&ACTIVATE PLUG-INA.T.P.
1. Press theChannel up and downkeyssimultaneouslyformore
than3seconds, underthecondition oftheno tapeisintheunit.
2. Confirm that "A1"and "A2"canbedisplayedon theFIPby
pressing theCH UPand CH DOWNbuttons.
NOTE:
If"DIRECTREC" on theOPTIONsetting screenissetto[ON], theinputsignal isfixedto"A1",
and theChannel up and downkeys arenoteffective.
3. Disconnect theACplug forfew secondsand connect itagain, and

press POWERbutton forturning thepowertoon fromoff tocarry
outthe"Plug inAutoTunerPreset".
4. Since otherthanthechannelsthat canbestoredby"AutoTuning"
operation arenotavailableyet, preset manuallybyconsulting the
note ofits availableTVchannelsofwhichyou tookbefore.
NOTE:
TheFactoryshipping condition ofOSDsetting isnotrestoredbyabove operation.
