SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

LEAKAGE TEST
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.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to
the customer and recommend their replacement.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend
their replacement.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check
leakage as described below.

Parts on Set

0.15 µF

1.5 kΩ

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is
0.75V, 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 leadfree 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.

PRECAUTIONS
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Before returning an instrument to the customer, always make a
safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not limited
to, the following items:
(1) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective or have
been defeated during servicing.
(1)Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician
and the customer. Correctly replace all missing protective
shields, including any removed for servicing convenience.
(2)When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly in the
cabinet, be sure to put back in place all protective devices,
including, but not limited to, nonmetallic control knobs,
insulating fish papers, adjustment and compartment covers/
shields, and isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate
this instrument or permit it to be operated without all protective
devices correctly installed and functioning.

(4) Insulation Resistance Test Cold Check-(1) Unplug the power
supply cord and connect a jumper wire between the two prongs
of the plug. (2) Turn on the power switch of the instrument. (3)
Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the jumpered
AC plug and all exposed metallic cabinet parts on the instrument,
such as screwheads, antenna, control shafts, handle brackets,
etc. When an exposed metallic part has a return path to the
chassis, the reading should be between 1 and 5.2 megohm. When
there is no return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite.
If the reading is not within the limits specified, there is the
possibility of a shock hazard, and the instrument must be repared
and rechecked before it is returned to the customer. See Fig. 2.

Antenna
Terminal

(2) Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which adults
or children might be able to insert their fingers and contact a
hazardous voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited
to, excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and an improperly
fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet back cover.
(3) Leakage Current Hot Check-With the instrument completely
reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC
outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.)
Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies
with American National Standards institute (ANSI) C101.1
Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) 1270 (40.7). With the instrument’s AC switch first in the
ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from a known
earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed
metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle brackets, metal
cabinets, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.),
especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return
path to the chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA. Reverse the
instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat the test. See
Fig. 1.
Any measurements not within the limits specified herein indicate
a potential shock hazard that must be eliminated before returning
the instrument to the customer.

2) Read and comply with all caution and safety related notes on or
inside the cabinet, or on the chassis.
3) Design Alteration Warning-Do not alter or add to the mechanical
or electrical design of this instrument. Design alterations and
additions, including but not limited to, circuit modifications and
the addition of items such as auxiliary audio output connections,
might alter the safety characteristics of this instrument and create
a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will
make you, the servicer, responsible for personal injury or
property damage resulting therefrom.
4) Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure correct
lead dress in the following areas:
(1) near sharp edges, (2) near thermally hot parts (be sure that
leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts), (3) the
AC supply, (4) high voltage, and (5) antenna wiring. Always
inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed wiring,
Do not change spacing between a component and the printedcircuit board. Check the AC power cord for damage.
5) Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated
or that are otherwise damaged should be replaced with
components, parts and/ or wiring that meet original
specifications.
Additionally, determine the cause of overheating and/or damage
and, if necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential
safety hazard.

6) Product Safety Notice-Some electrical and mechanical parts
have special safety-related characteristics which are often not
evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give
necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated
for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety
characteristics are identified by shading, an ( ) or a ( ) on
schematics and parts lists. Use of a substitute replacement that
does not have the same safety characteristics as the
recommended replacement part might create shock, fire and/or
other hazards. Product safety is under review continuously and
new instructions are issued whenever appropriate.

2 SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Before servicing units covered by this service manual
and its supplements, read and follow the Safety Precautions section
of this manual.
Note: If unforseen circumstances create conflict between the
following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions,
always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.

2-1 General Servicing Precautions

2-2 Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the
power ON. Connect the insulation resistance meter (500V) to the
blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between
each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts
(see note) should be more than 1 Megohm.
Note: Accessible conductive parts include metal panels, input
terminals, earphone jacks, etc.

(1) a. Always unplug the instrument’s AC power cord from the AC
power source before (1) re-moving or reinstalling any
component, circuit board, module or any other instrument
assembly, (2) disconnecting any instrument electrical plug or
other electrical connection, (3) connecting a test substitute in
parallel with an electrolytic capacitor in the instrument.
b. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with
which instruments covered by this service manual might be
equipped.
c. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its
electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks
are correctly installed.
d. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to the
instrument chassis ground before connecting the test
instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument
ground lead last.
Note: Refer to the Safety Precautions section ground lead last.
(2) The service precautions are indicated or printed on the cabinet,
chassis or components. When servicing, follow the printed or
indicated service precautions and service materials.
(3) The components used in the unit have a specified flame
resistance and dielectric strength.
When replacing components, use components which have the
same ratings. Components identified by shading, by ( ) or by
( ) in the circuit diagram are important for safety or for the
characteristics of the unit. Always replace them with the exact
replacement components.
(4) An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used and some
components are raised above the printed wiring board for safety.
The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact
with heating components. Install such elements as they were.
(5) After servicing, always check that the removed screws,
components, and wiring have been installed correctly and that
the portion around the serviced part has not been damaged and
so on. Further, check the insulation between the blades of the
attachment plug and accessible conductive parts.

3 ESD PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily
by static electricity.
Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive
Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated
circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip
components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce
the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
(1) Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or
semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic
charge on your body by touching a known earth ground.
Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available
discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for
potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under
test.
(2) After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD
devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as
aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or
exposure of the assembly.
(3) Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder
ESD devices.
(4) Use only an anti-static solder removal devices. Some solder
removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
(5) Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices.
(6) Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective
package until immediately before your are ready to install it.
(Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads
electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil
or comparable conductive materials).
(7) Immediately before removing the protective materials from the
leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the protective material
to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be
installed.
CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit,
and observe all other safety precautions.
(8) Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as
the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of
your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity
sufficient to damage an ESD device).

4 HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP
The laser diode in the optical pick up may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of potential static electricity from clothing and
your body.
The following method is recommended.
(1) Place a conductive sheet on the work bench (The black sheet
used for wrapping repair parts.)
(2) Place the set on the conductive sheet so that the chassis is
grounded to the sheet.
(3) Place your hands on the conductive sheet (This gives them the
same ground as the sheet.)
(4) Remove the optical pick up block
(5) Perform work on top of the conductive sheet. Be careful not to
let your clothes or any other static sources to touch the unit.
◆ Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to the sheet.
◆ Be sure to lay a conductive sheet made of copper etc. Which is
grounded to the table.

Notes on playing DTS soundtracks on a CD
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise
will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To
avoid possible damage to the audio system, the
consumer should take proper precautions when
the analog stereo jacks of the recorder are
connected to an amplification system. To enjoy
DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external
5.1-channel decoder system must be connected to
the digital jack of the recorder.

Press MENU to display “Menu: Off.” To use the
PBC functions, press MENU again to display
“Menu:On.”

Resuming playback from the point
where you stopped the disc (Resume

DTS audio signals are output only through the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or

When you play a DVD with DTS soundtracks, set
“Digital Out” – “DTS” to “On” of “Audio” in the
“Setup” display (page 98).
If you connect the recorder to audio equipment
without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “On”
in “Audio” setup. A loud noise (or no sound) may
come out from the speakers, which might disturb
your ears or cause damage to the speakers.

The rotation of the capstan motor causes the holder clutch ass’y to rotate through the belt pulley.
The spring wrap PLAY/REV of holder clutch ass’y drives the disk reel S, T through gear idler by rotation of gear center ass’y.
Brake is operated by slider cam at FF/REW mode.
Transportation of accurate driving force is done by gears. (Gear Center Ass’y)

Note: If the spec. does not meet the followings specifications, replace the holder clutch ass’y and then recheck.
