Notes on chip component replacement
·Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be dam-
aged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
·Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 °C dur-
ing 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.

SECTION 1
SERVICING NOTES
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static breakdown because of the potential difference generated by
the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown 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
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emis-
sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.
BEFORE REPLACING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
Please be sure to check thoroughly the parameters as par the "Op-
tical Pick-Up Block Checking Procedures" (Part No.: 9-960-027-
11) issued separately before replacing the optical pick-up block.
Note and specifications required to check are given below.
· FOK output: IC601 yg pin
When checking FOK, remove the lead wire to disc motor.
· RF signal P-to-P value: 0.45 to 0.65 Vp-p
LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION
CHECK
During normal operation of the equipment, emission of the laser
diode is prohibited unless the upper lid is closed while turning ON
the S801. (push switch type)
The following checking method for the laser diode is operable.
· Method:
Emission of the laser diode is visually checked.
1. Open the upper lid.
2. With a disc not set, turn on the S801 with a screwdriver having
a thin tip as shown in Fig.1.
3. Press the B X key.
4. Observing the objective lens, check that the laser diode emits
light.
When the laser diode does not emit light, automatic power
control circuit or optical pickup is faulty.
In this operation, the objective lens will move up and down 5
times along with inward motion for the focus search.

ABOUT CD-Rs/CD-RWs
· This CD player can play CD-Rs/CD-RWs recorded in the Com-
pact Disc Digital Audio (Audio CD) format, but playback capa-
bility may vary depending on the quality of the disc and the
condition of the recording device.

SERVICE MODE
In the Service mode, this set can check the following.
Note: Use RM-MC10L (Part No. 1-476-211-[][]), when you operate service
mode. (Use dot matrix Remote Commander)
1. Service Mode Setting Method
To set the service mode, perform as follows.
1) Make sure that the power is not turned on.
2) Check for the following states:
CD lid open detection switch (S801) .... OFF
Solder bridge at TAP802 (OPEN) ......... OPEN
[HOLD] switch (S803) .......................... OFF
[AVLS] switch (S808) ........................... OFF
[G-PROTECTION] switch (S802) ........ ON
3) Short the solder bridge at the TAP801 (TEST) on the MAIN
board (see Fig. 2).
4) Turn the power on, and then set a CD.
2. Operation in Service Mode
When the Service mode is set, the LCD on the remote commander
displays the microcomputer version display.

The C1 error rate check display mode becomes active if the fol-
lowing operation is performed during the operation in the service
mode.
1) Turn the power off, and cancel other service operations.
2) Turn the power on, and then set a CD and play it with
