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
SERVICE NOTE
Service Mode
Mode for operating the mechanism section with the AUDIO board
opened.
1. Setting
1) Refer to "Disassembly", and remove the cabinet and open the
AUDIO board.
2) Connect the motor and plunger to the AUDIO board using
jumper wires. These can be connected easily with the use of
the extension tool (1-769-143-11) (ten in one set).
3) Turn ON the HOLDER switch (S706).
4) Input the square wave or sine wave to PH701. (See right fig-
ure.)
5) Supply 1.5 V to the
` and ' terminals of the battery using a
regulated power supply.
2. Preset state
To set the PLAY, FF, REW modes, the preset state must be set.
1) Check that the lever (FR SW) and FWD/RVS switch (S708)
are set to the center position. If not, set the preset state as fol-
lows.
2) Move the FWD/RVS switch (S708) to the side which the lever
(FR SW) is facing.
3) The lever (FR SW) will move when the regulated power sup-
ply switch is set to OFF once and then set to ON. Move the
FWD/RVS switch (S708) according to this timing and set to
the center position.
3. FF, REW Modes
1) Check that the preset state is set and press the FF and REW
switches.
4. PLAY mode
1) Check that the preset state is set.
2) Pressing the
ª · switch will move the lever (FR SW) once
towards the F side and then to the R side. Moving the FWD/
RVS switch (S708) according to this timing will set the PLAY
mode (R side). Pressing the
ª · switch another time and
moving the FWD/RVS switch (S708) according to the move-
ment of the lever (FR SW) will set the PLAY ( F side) mode.
Note 1: If the above fails, perform from preset again.
Note 2: Use the
ª ·, , FF, REW switches on the remote
commander as much as possible. If no remote commander,
do not touch the switches with your hands, but using a
stick with a round tip.
Note 3: When using headphones, the timing for moving the S708
can be determined from the beep sound.
