CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
TEST DISCS
This set can playback CD-R and CD-ROM discs. The following
test discs should be used to check the capability:
CD-R test disc TCD-R082LMT (Part No. J-2502-063-1)
CD-RW test disc TCD-W082L (Part No. J-2502-063-2)
Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs
•You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CD-RWs (rewritable CDs)
designed for audio use on this unit.
Look for these marks to distinguish CD-Rs/CD-RWs for audio
use.
These marks denote that a disc is not for audio use.
•Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used for
its recording or the condition of the disc) may not play on this
unit.
•You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not finalized∗.
∗A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc to be
played on the audio CD player.

SERVICE NOTES
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown 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
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, ob-
serve from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
Notes on Chip Component Replacement
•Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
•Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
This label is located on the bottom of the chassis.
This label is located on the drive unit’s internal chassis.
When replacing the chassis (T.U) of mechanism deck which have
the “CAUTION LABEL” attached, please be sure to put a new
LABEL (OP CAUTION) (3-223-913-01) to the chassis (T.U).

EXTENSION CABLE AND SERVICE POSITION
Whenrepairingor servicing thisset,connect the jig(extensioncable)
as shown below.
•Connect the MAIN board (CNP301) and the SERVO board (CN1)
with the extension cable (Part No. J-2502-011-1).
•UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution:Someprintedcircuit boards may notcomeprintedwith
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
•Unleadedsoldermeltsat a temperature about40°Chigher 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.

Raccordementpour la conservationde la mémoire
Lorsque le fil d’entrée d’alimentation jaune est raccordé,
le circuit de la mémoire est alimenté en permanence
même si la clé de contact est sur la position d’arrêt.
Remarquessur le raccordementdeshaut-parleurs
•Avant de raccorder les haut-parleurs, mettez l’appareil
hors tension.
•Utilisez des haut-parleurs ayant une impédance de 4 à
8ohms avec une capacité électrique adéquate pour
éviter de les endommager.
•Ne raccordez pas les bornes du système de haut-
parleur au châssisde la voiture et ne raccordez pas les
bornes du haut-parleur droit à cellesdu haut-parleur
gauche.
•Ne raccordez pas le câble de massede cet appareil à la
borne négative (–) de l’enceinte.
•N’essayezpas de raccorder les haut-parleurs en
parallèle.
•Raccordez uniquement des haut-parleurs passifs. Le
raccordement de haut-parleurs actifs (avec
amplificateurs intégrés) aux bornes des haut-parleurs
peut endommager l’appareil.
•Pour éviter tout dysfonctionnement, n’utilisez pas les
fils des haut-parleurs intégrés installés dans votre
voiture si l’appareil partage un fil négatif commun (–)
pour les haut-parleurs droit et gauche.
•Ne raccordez pas entre eux les cordons des haut-
parleurs de l’appareil.
Remarquesurle raccordement
Si les enceintes et l’amplificateur ne sont pas raccordés
correctement, le message “FAILURE” s’affiche. Dans ce
cas,assurez-vous que les enceintes et l’amplificateur sont
bien raccordés.

Memory hold connection
When the yellow power input lead isconnected, power
will always be supplied to the memory circuit even when
the ignition key is turned off.
Notes on speaker connection
•Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
•Usespeakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and
with adequate power handling capacities to avoid its
damage.
• Do not connect the speaker terminals to the car
chassis,or connect the terminals of the right speakers
with those of the left speaker.
•Do not connect the ground lead of this unit to the
negative (–) terminal of the speaker.
•Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel.
•Connect only passivespeakers. Connecting active
speakers (with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker
terminals may damage the unit.
•To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker
wires installed in your car if the unit sharesa common
negative (–) lead for the right and left speakers.
•Do not connect the unit’s speaker cords to each other.
Note on connection
If speaker and amplifier are not connected correctly,
"FAILURE" appears in the display. In this case,make sure
the speaker and amplifier are connected correctly.
Connection diagram (3)
1 To a metal surfaceof the car
First connect the black ground lead, then connect
the yellow and red power input leads.
2 To the power antenna control lead or power
supply lead of antenna booster amplifier
Notes
• It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is no
power antenna or antenna booster, or with a
manually-operated telescopic antenna.
•When your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna in
the rear/side glass,see“Notes on the control and
power supply leads.”
3 To AMP REMOTEIN of an optional power
amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers. Connecting
any other system may damage the unit.
4 To the interface cableof a cartelephone
5 To the +12 V power terminal which isenergized
in the accessoryposition of the ignition key
switch
Notes
•If there is no accessoryposition, connect to the +12
V power (battery) terminal which is energized at
all times.
Be sure to connect the black ground lead to a
metal surface of the car first.
•When your car has a built-in FM/AM antenna in
the rear/side glass,see“Notes on the control and
power supply leads.”
6 To the +12 V power terminal which isenergized
at all times
Be sure to connect the black ground lead to a metal
surface of the car first.
Notes on the control and power supply leads
•The power antenna control lead (blue) supplies +12 V
DCwhen you turn on the tuner.
•When your car has built-in FM/AM antenna in the rear/
side glass,connect the power antenna control lead
(blue) or the accessorypower input lead (red) to the
power terminal of the existing antenna booster. For
details, consult your dealer.
•Apower antenna without relay box cannot be used
with this unit.
