• Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 ˚C dur-
ing repairing.
• Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
• Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.
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.
SERVICING NOTES
HOWTO CHANGETHE CERAMIC FILTERS
This model is used two ceramic filters of CF2 and X2.
You must used same type of color marked ceramic filters in order
to meet same specifications.
Therefore, the ceramic filter must changed two pieces together
since it's supply two pieces in one package as a spare parts.

1. Play back WS-48A (tape center part) and Adjust the RV601 so
that the frequency counter reading becomes 3,000 Hz ± 15 Hz
2. Play back WS-48A tape the beginning and the end part.
Check that the frequency counter reading is within 1.5 % of
the reading of step 1.
