SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Checktheantennatermmals, metal trim, "metallized"knobs, screws,
and all otherexposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
LEAKAGE
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth Ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, mustnotexceed0.5 rnA (500 microampers). Leak-
age current can be measured by any one
of three methods.
I. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' mstructions to use these
mstruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistorby means
of a YOM
orbattery-operatedAC voltmeter. The "hmit" indicatiOn is 0.75
Y, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale.
The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a pas-
sive YOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a
2Y AC range are smtable. (See Fig. A)

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTE
NOTES ON HANDLINGTHE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laserdiode in the optical pick-up block may sufferelectrostatic
breakdown because
of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothmg and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostaticbreakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is mcluded 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 befocused on
the
d1sc reflective surface by the objective lens m the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emiss10n, ob-
serve from more than
30 em away from the objective lens.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the "Scurve check" m "CD section adjustment" andcheck
that the S curve waveform is output repeatedly.

disc.
2. Press the I
C> Ibutton and play back the disc.
3. The following will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube.
Display: lkHz/0 dB/ L&R
4. Press theI D<l<ll and I t>I>D Ibuttons to switch the track. The text data of each track will be displayed.
For details
of the displayed contents for each track, refer to "Table 1 : CD-TEXT TEST DISC TEXT Data Contents" and ''Table 2 . CD-
TEXT TEST DISC Recorded Contents and Display".
Restrictions in CD-TEXT Display
In this unit, some special characters will notbedisplayed properly. These will be eli splayed as a space or a characterresembling it. Fordetails,

AGING MODE
Aging Mode
• Mode which repeatedly changes and plays back discs automati-
cally in the unit.
• It will repeat aging as long as no errors occur.
• If an erroroccurs during aging, it will stop all servos, motors, etc.
instantaneously, display the error number, and stop operatiOns.
However, the stopping conditions differ according to whether the
unit is equipped with the "self-protectiOn function during errors"
described later.
The function serves to maintain the state
of the unit when errors
occur.
Sequence of Aging Mode Order of Disc Change
(1 cycle takes 3 minutes)
Special Functions in Agmg Mode
Disc setting mode:
5 discs are set before setting the aging mode. This mode makes
the setting
of these discs more easy.
2 Selfprotection function during errors:
Function which voluntarily corrects errors which occur during
normal operations by retnes.
If this function is not provided, all operations will be stopped
without retiring.
It is suitable for checking errors with low re-
producibility.
If this function is provided, and errors can be corrected by re-
tries, aging will be continued without stopping.
3 Aging cycle count function:
-18-
Functions which displays the number of agings carried out on
theFluorescentindicatortube innumbers. Oneaging cycle con-
sists
of five d1scs.

7. Press the c:::> button.
8. The c:::> LED blinks, the aging mode is set, and aging is started.
9. The agingcyclelasts 3 minutes. If errors occurduring aging, the
errornumberwill bedisplayed on theFluorescentindicatortube.
(Refer to the following table for the details
of the errors.)
lO.Aging will be repeated as long as no errors occur.
1l.After each aging cycle, the number displayed on the Fluores-
