HANDLING CHIP COMPONENTS

1-6
GB
WARNING
All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce life
drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the mass
of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.
F
ATTENTION
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres
semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux
décharges statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est
prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié
au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et
enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de
sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également à ce
potentiel.
ESD
D
WARNUNG
Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kan
die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Veranlassen Sie, dass Sie im Reparaturfall über
ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand verbunden
sind mit dem gleichen Potential wie die Masse
des Gerätes.
Bauteile und Hilfsmittel auch auf dieses gleiche
Potential halten.
NL
WAARSCHUWING
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan
de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
I
AVVERTIMENTO
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della
massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto
a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili
con quali si lavora siano anche a questo
potenziale.
“Pour votre sécurité, ces documents
doivent être utilisés par des spécia-
listes agréés, seuls habilités à réparer
votre appareil en panne”.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original
condition and that parts which are identical with those specified,
be used.
NL
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat bij reparatie in
zijn oorspronkelijke toestand wordt teruggebracht en dat onderdelen,
identiek aan de gespecificeerde, worden toegepast.
F
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis à l’état
d’origine et que soient utiliséés les piéces de rechange identiques
à celles spécifiées.
D
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu
beachten. Der Original zustand des Geräts darf nicht verändert werden;
für Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.
I
Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso
nelle condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati i pezzi di ricambio
identici a quelli specificati.
"After servicing and before returning set to customer perform a
leakage current measurement test from all exposed metal parts to
earth ground to assure no shock hazard exist. The leakage current
must not exceed 0.5mA."

General Information
•The typeplate (which contains
the serial number) is located at
the rear of the system.
•Recording is permissible if
copyright or other rights of third
parties are not infringed.
•This device complies with the
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules, part 15
and with 21 CFR 1040.10.
Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
–This device may not cause
harmful interference, and
–This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Environmental
Information
All unnecessary packaging has been
omitted.We have tried to make the
packaging easy to separate into three
materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene
foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags,
protective foam sheet).
Your system consists of materials which
can be recycled and reused if
disassembled by a specialized company.
Please observe the local regulations
regarding the disposal of packaging
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
Accessories (Supplied)
–Remote control
–AM loop antenna
–FM wire antenna
–ACpower cord
GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION
•Under no circumstances should you
repair the system yourself, as this will
invalidate the warranty!
• If the system is brought directly from
a cold to a warm location, or is
placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens
of the CD unit inside the system.
Should this occur, the CD player will
not operate normally. Leave the
power on for about one hour with
no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible.
•Electrostatic discharge may cause
unexpected problems. See whether
these problems disappear if you
unplug the AC power cord and plug
it in again after a few seconds.
•To disconnect the system from
the power supply completely,
remove the AC power plug
from the wall socket.
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
Safety Information
•Before operating the system, check
that the operating voltage indicated
on the typeplate (or the voltage
indication beside the voltage
selector) of your system is identical
with the voltage of your local power
supply. If not, please consult your
dealer.The typeplate is located at the
rear of your system.
•When the system is switched on, do
not move it around.
•Place the system on a solid base (e.g.
a cabinet).
•Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent
internal heat build-up in your system.
Allow at least 10cm (4 inches)
clearance from the rear and the top
of the unit and 5cm (2 inches) from
each side
•Do not expose the system to
excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat
sources.

DISMANTLING INSTRUCTIONS
1) Take a paper clip or any stiff wire diameter of 1mm -1.5mm
and make a marking about 17mm from the tip.
2) Place the set in an upright position and insert the paper clip
into the slot on the right side of the Cabinet Rear.
3) With the marking just outside the Cabinet Rear, you
should be able to engage the gear on the side of the
3CDC-LC Module. Because of the distance between the
gear and the Cabinet Rear the chance of the paper clip
slipping above or below the gear is high, therefore you
have to feel and adjust slightly to engage the gear cor-
rectly.
4) Push the gear slowly towards the front as shown until the
Tray CDC starts to move out of the Front Cabinet. The
Tray CDC is now disengage and can be pulled out com-
pletely
Note: If the Cabinet Rear has to be replaced, it has to
be replaced by one that has a similar slot on the
right side of the Cabinet otherwise there is no
possibility to disassemble the same set in the
future.
Opening the CDC Tray manually
17mm
Turn the Gear inside towards
the Front of the Set repeatedly
until the Tray CDC starts to
open.
Marking just outside the
slot on the Cabinet Rear
Dismantling of the Front Panel
1) With the CDC tray opened remove the Cover Tray CDC
(pos 107) as indicated.
2) Loosen the 8 screws to separate the Front Panel from the
rear portion.
-2screws B on the front
-2screws each on the left & right side
-2screws at the bottom

2) Remove 12 screws D as indicated to loosen the Front
board.
3) Remove 6 screws E to loosen the ECO-MTF Module
Dismantling of Rear Portion
1) Remove 1 screw H & uncatch C1 to loosen the Mains
socket board.
2) Remove 2 screws F, 2 screws G and uncatch C2 to
loosen the Tuner board assembly.
3) Remove 5 screws J (3x on the rear and 2x on the

Note:
1. During repair it is possible to disconnect the following
assemblies or modules while working on other areas:
-Tuner Board
-3CDC Module
2. Flex cables are very fragile, care should be taken not to
damage them during repair. After repair, be very sure
that the flex cables are inserted properly into the flex
sockets before encasing, otherwise faults may occurs.
