1. Precautions
1. Precautions
1.1. 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:
a) Be sure that no built-in protective devices are defective or have been defeated during servicing
i) Protective shields are provided to protect both the technician and the customer. Correctly replace all missing
protective shields, including any removed for servicing convenience.
ii) 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.
b) 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.
c) Leakage Current Hot Check — With the instrument completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord directly into a
230V(220V ~ 240V) 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 Standard 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
Any measurements not within the limits specified herein indicate a potential shock hazard that must be eliminated
before returning the instrument to the customer.
Figure1.1 AC Leakage Test

1. Precautions
d) 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 repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer. See
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 printed-circuit 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 ( ) 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.

1. Precautions
1.2. 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 unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions,
always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.
1.2.1. General Servicing Precautions
1) a. Always unplug the instrument’s AC powercord from the AC power source before (1) removing 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 damage 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. Components identified by shading, 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.
1.2.2. 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. Precautions
1.3. 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 installing 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 body motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESD devices.

(Otherwise harmless motions 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).

1. Precautions
1.4. 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 to let your clothes or any other static sources touch the unit.
NOTE
• Be sure to put on a wrist strap grounded to the sheet.
• Be sure to lay a conductive sheet, that is grounded to the table, made of copper.
Fig.1-3
6) Short the short terminal on the PCB, which is inside the Pick-Up ASS’Y, before replacing the Pick- Up. (The short
terminal is shorted when the Pick- Up Ass’y is being lifted or moved.)
7) After replacing the Pick-up, open the short terminal on the PCB.

NOTE
Do not use the part number shown on this drawing for ordering. The correct part number is shown in the parts list (may be slightly different or amended since this drawing was prepared).
CAUTION
Most semiconductor devices are electrostatically sensitive and therefore require the special handling techniques described under the “electrostatically sensitive (ES) devices” section of this service manual.
WARNING
Components identified with the mark have the special characteristics for safety. When replacing any of these components. Use only the same type.

6.1. All Block Diagram

6.2. Power
6.2.1. About S.M.P.S (Ringing Choke Converter Method)
Terms
1) 1st : Common power input to 1st winding.
2) 2nd : Circuit followings output winding of transformer.
3) f (Frequency) : Switching frequency (T : Switching cycle)
4) Duty : (Ton/T) x 100
6.2.2. Circuit descripcotion [FLY-Back RCC(Ringing Choke Converter)] Control
1) AC Power Rectification/Smoothing Terminal

a) BD01 ~ 04 : Convert AC power to DC(Wave rectification).
b) C1S05B : Smooth the voltage converted to DC.
c) L1S01, C1S03, C1S04 : Noise removal at power input/output.
d) R1S02 : Rush current limit resistance at the moment of power cord insertion.
Without P1S02, the bridge diode might be damaged as the rush current increases.
2) SNUBBER Circuit : D1S10, C1S10, R1S10

a) Prevent residual high voltage at the terminals of switch during switch off/Suppress noise. High inverted power occurs at switch off, because of the 1st winding of transformer : (V=-L1 xdi/dt. L1 : Leakage Induction) A very high residual voltage exist on both
terminals of IC1 because dt is a very short.
b) SNUBBER circuit protects IC1 from damage through leakage voltage suppression by RC, (Charges the leakage voltage to DIS10 and CIS10 and discharges to R1S10).

3) IC1S01 Vcc circuit

a) ICIS01, RIS05, RIS07,RIS08 : ICIS01 driving resistance (ICIS01 works through driving resistance at power cord in)
b) ICIS01 Vcc : RIS05, RIS07, RIS08
i) Use the output of transformer as Vcc, because the current starts to flow into transformer while ICIS01 is active
ii) Rectify to DIS07 and smooth to CIS09.
iii) Use the output of transformer as ICIS01 Vcc : The loads are different before and after ICIS01 driving. (Vcc of ICIS01 decreases below OFF voltage , using only the resistance dut to lode increase after ICIS01 driving.)
4) Feedback Control Circuit
a) F/B Terminal of IC1 determines output duty cycle.

b) C-E (Collector-Emitter) of and F/B potential of PQIZ1 are same.
