Maintenance
Cleaning the CD pickup lens
Do not touch the laser pickup lens. If fingerprints or dust accumulate
on the pickup, clean it gently with a dry cotton swab.
Cleaning the tape-handling parts
• Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
• When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc., unplug the unit which
contains high voltages.
AErase head C Capstan
BRecording/Playback head D Pinch roller
• After long use, the deck’s heads and capstan may become magnetised, causing poor sound.
Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.

3. Tuner Test Mode (TEST 02)
1. Outline of tuner (radio) test mode
The tuner test mode is intended to store the adjustment and measurement frequencies in the preset memory CH. When
adjusting the tuner section in the production line, adjusting personnel are not required to set frequency.
2. Details of tuner test mode
Press the "REW/PRESET DOWN" and "CD PLAY" buttons in POWER OFF state and turn on the power by the use of "ON/
STAND-BY" button to preset and store frequency for adjustment and measurement of destination specified by the AREA
terminal in the preset memory CH. However, Ordinary 1 and Ordinary 2 are stored in the destinations (selected by SPAN
switching operation) when the test mode is obtained.
("FF " + "MEMORY/SET" KEY SPAN CHANGE)
(As for frequencies to be preset and stored for each destination, refer to item 3.)
The tuner test mode is started from preset No.1.
The operations of test mode are identical with the ordinary operations of TUNER function. FUNCTION switching is invalid.
It is necessary to discard the content of preset memory when the tuner test mode is ended; be sure to write "0000" or "1111"
bits in the memory to be checked for judging memory error at initial setting and to initialize memory.
When the tuner test mode is obtained, the following display lights for one second.
• The TUNER TEST02 mode is obtained with >> + MEMORY + ON/STAND-BY. ->Turn off AC in the TEST02 mode to restore
the initial state.
Turn off POWER to protect the memory of TEST02 mode.
TurnoffPOWERagaintoobtaintheordinaryoperationwhilethedataisstoredinthememory(besides
TUNER).
If AC OFF state is maintained in this state for about 1/2 day, start is executed in the initial state.
• To clear the whole memory, insert the AC cord, pressing MEMORY + CD PLAY.
3. Preset frequencies for various destinations (random preset memory)
• The slant line sections of the table store no memory.

Set the current time and timer time according to the following procedure to reproduce the timer.
1.Set the current time to 1:00, the timer to ON time 1:05, the function to CD, and volume to STEP 12, respectively. One minute
is counted as one second, and the timer is reproduced. The fade-in (when playback is started) is executed at a rate of one step
for 1 sec. After completion of fade-in, the fade-out is executed at a rate of one step for 1 sec (WAIT 1 sec inserted).
After completion of fade-out, the power is turned off (after WAIT 1 sec), and the mode is shifted to the standby.
The display during operation is the same as that of ordinary timer operation.
5. Timer test Mode (TEST 04)
When this test mode is obtained, the following display lights for one second.

whether the "ON/STAND-BY" button was pressed after all the buttons shown below were pressed. If the result is OK, OK is
displayed. If any one of keys was not pressed, an error is displayed. In both cases of OK termination or error termination, the

depending on models, types of buttons to be used are determined by whether RDS, SURROUND, and an electric lid are
available at the initial setting by MODEL port.
The order of buttons to be pressed is not determined. Accordingly, it is checked whether all buttons have been pressed.
1. PU-IN buttons: REW/PRESET DOWN + CD STOP
Since this model is provided with SURROUND (HAVE OR NOT), RDS (HAVE OR NOT), and electric CD lid, the following
10 buttons are detected as all buttons.

NOTES ON SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
•Resistor:
To differentiate the units of resistors, such symbol as K and
M are used: the symbol K means 1000 ohm and the symbol
M means 1000 kohm and the resistor without any symbol is
ohm-type resistor. Besides, the one with “Fusible” is a fuse
type.
•Capacitor:
To indicate the unit of capacitor, a symbol P is used: this
symbol P means micro-micro-farad and the unit of the
capacitor without such a symbol is microfarad. As to
electrolyticcapacitor,theexpression“capacitance/withstand
voltage” is used.
