SECTION 1

SERVICING NOTES

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT

The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostat- ic 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 repair 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 pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

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.

NOTE OF REPLACING THE IC1103 ON THE MAIN BOARD

IC1103 on the MAIN board cannot exchange with single. When this part is damaged, exchange the entire mounted board.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition, or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of recording, cannot be played back. In these cases, “Reading” will remain or “Cannot Play” will appear on the display.

Note on DTS-CDs

DTS signals are output from the DIGITAL OUT (CD) jacks only.

The DTS signals must be decoded on a DTS-compliant digital device to be listened to.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Note on DSD Discs

A DSD Disc is a disc recorded in the DSF file format.

This player can play DSF files that you have recorded on DVD-ROM compatible DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW discs. For details on DSD Discs.
