SERVICING NOTES

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow- ing safety check 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 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.

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” indica- tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low- voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex- amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suit- able. (See Fig. A)

This feature enables users to record up to 148 minutes of stereo sound on a single MiniDisc, making it an invaluable tool for those requiring longer recording sessions, such as musicians or radio broadcasters.

The MDS-JE630 is equipped with ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) compression algorithms, ensuring that audio files retain high fidelity even when compressed. The device features a 20-bit digital-to-analog converter, providing remarkable sound clarity and depth. Users can expect crisp highs and robust lows, making every listening experience engaging and immersive.

Ease of use is another hallmark of the MDS-JE630. The front panel includes an intuitive layout, featuring a large LCD display that clearly shows current track information, time elapsed, and other playback indicators. Additionally, the unit offers various playback modes such as normal, repeat, and shuffle, allowing users to customize their listening experience.

The recording process on the MDS-JE630 is seamless, thanks to its one-touch recording feature. Users can easily initiate recordings from connected sources, including CD players or turntables, via the device's multiple inputs, such as line-in and optical digital inputs. This adaptability makes it a versatile component for any audio setup, whether for home studios or live performances.

Moreover, the MDS-JE630 incorporates a variety of editing functions, including track arranging, dividing, and merging, providing users with the ability to create perfectly curated audio collections. The device also supports a wide range of MiniDisc formats, ensuring compatibility with existing media.

In conclusion, the Sony MDS-JE630 stands out as a premier MiniDisc recorder, offering a blend of advanced technology, user-friendly design, and high-quality playback.
