CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous ra-
diation exposure.
Notes on chip component replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
• Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270˚C
during 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.
Laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation
exceeding the limit for Class 1.
This appliance is classified as
a CLASS 1 LASER product.
The CLASS 1 LASER PROD-
UCT MARKING is located on
the rear exterior.
The following
caution label is
located inside of
the unit.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing 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 microampers). Leak-
age 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-operated AC 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 pas-
sive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTE
NOTES ON HANDLING THE 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, ob-
serve 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.

CD-TEXT TEST DISC
This unit is able to display the TEXT data (character information) written in the CD on its fluorescent indicator tube.
The CD-TEXT TEST DISC (TGCS-313:J-2501-126-A) is used for checking the display.
To check, perform the following procedure.
Checking Method:
1. Turn ON the power, set the disc on the disc table with the side labeled as “test disc” as the right side, close the front cover, and chuck the
disc.
2. The following will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube. (The display switches each time the TIME/TEXT button is pressed.)
Display : CD TEXT TEST DISC (Album Title)
3. Press the · button and play back the disc.
4. The following will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube. (If nothing is displayed, press the TIME/TEXT button.)
Display : 1kHz/0 dB/ L&R
5. Rotate ≠ and ± knob 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 not be displayed properly. These will be displayed as a space or a character resembling it. For details,
refer to “Table 2 : CD-TEXT DISC Recorded Contents and Display”.

ALL ERASE
This mode is used for clearing information such as the title memo.
Do not execute if information such as the title memo is not to be
erased.
Procedure:
While pressing the CLEAR button with the power OFF, press the
1/u button and turn on the power.
The fluorescent display tube displays “ALL ERASE” and all memo-
ries will be cleared.
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 error occurs 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.
