SERVICING NOTES
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
BLOCK OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostat-
ic break-down because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic break-down and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.
NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
Never look into the laser diode emission from right above when
checking it for adjustment. It is feared that you will lose your
sight.
If the optical pick-up block is defective, please replace the whole
optical pick-up block.
Never turn the semi-fixed resistor located at the side of optical
pick-up block.
EXTENSION CABLE AND SERVICE POSITION
When repairing or servicing this set, connect the jig (extension
cable) as shown below.
• Connect the MAIN board (CNP501) and the SERVO board
(CN2) with the extension cable (Part No. J-2502-076-1).
NOTE THE IC500 AND IC510 ON THE IT BOARD
REPLACING
When IC500 and IC510 on the IT board are damaged, exchange
the new IT board for the IT board which IC damaged.

UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher
than ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350 °C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges
occur such as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

REPLACING THE LITHIUM BATTERY OF THE CARD
REMOTE COMMANDER
Under normal conditions, the battery will last
approximately 1 year. (The service life may be
shorter, depending on the conditions of use.)
When the battery becomes weak, the range of the
card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace
the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use
of any other battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
Notes on the lithium battery
•Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children.
Should the battery be swallowed, immediately
consult a doctor.
•Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good
contact.
•Be sure to observe the correct polarity when
installing the battery.
•Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,
otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

Cautions
Be sure to install this unit in the dashboard of the car
as the rear side of the unit becomes hot during use.
• This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V DC
operation only.
• Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in moving
parts (e.g. seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to
avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power input leads only
after all other leads have been connected.
•Run all ground leads to a common ground
point.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with
electrical tape for safety.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots or heat sinks of the
unit.
• The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard.
Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)
• When connecting this unit in combination with other
stereo components, the connected car circuit’s rating
must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse.
• When no car circuits are rated high enough, connect
the unit directly to the battery.
