À LA SÉCURITÉ!
LES COMPOSANTS IDENTIFÉS PAR UNE MARQUE 0SUR LES
DIAGRAMMES SCHÉMATIQUES ET LA LISTE DES PIÈCES SONT
CRITIQUES POUR LA SÉCURITÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT. NE

After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed 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, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operatedAC voltmeter. The “limit” indication
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of
a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)

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.

RCD-W500C SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTE
NOTES ON HANDLINGTHE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
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
repain 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,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
The emission check enables continuous checking of the S curve.
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
Carry out the “S curve check” in “CD section adjustment” and check
that the S curve waveform is output three times.

Explanation
You are trying to record a disc that
cannot be played back in DECK-A
or with an external device, such as
CD-ROM or VIDEO CD.
• Remove the disc, and then insert a
music CD for playback.
Recording has not been completed
successfully because of vibration.
• Relocate the unit in a place free of
vibration and restart the recording
again.
The disc you try to record is
excessively dirty (such as oil-
stained or finger marked) or
scratched. Or the disc is not
normal.
• Replace the disc with another one
and restart the recording again.
The unit did not read the TOC
information.
• Insert other discs.
The sound source you are trying to
record is a copy of a commercial
music software. Or you are trying
to record on a CD-R/CD-RW
digitally.
• Because of the restriction of the
Serial Copy Management System,
you cannot record a copy of a
commercial music software.
Neither can you record a CD-R/
CD-RW digitally.
If this message is displayed
momentarily, this is not an error. It
is caused by the digital signal
during recording.
During recording of a digital sound
source, the connecting cable has
been disconnected or the player of
the sound source has turned off.
• Connect the cable or turn on the
digital player.
Self-diagnosis Function
When the self-diagnosis function is activated to
prevent the player from malfunctioning, three
character service numbers in a combination
with a message appears in the display. In this
case, check the following table.
