Safety Check after Servicing Chassis or Secondary Conductor Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts, and wires have been returned to their original Primary Circuit positions. Afterwards, do the following tests and con- firm the specified values to verify compliance with safety standards.

Instructions for Handling Semi- conductors Electrostatic breakdown of the semi-conductors may occur due to a potential difference caused by electrostatic charge during unpacking or repair work. 1. Ground for Human Body Be sure to wear a grounding band (1 MΩ) that is properly grounded to remove any static electricity that may be charged on the body.
PREPARATION FOR SERVICING How to Enter the Service Mode About Optical Sensors Caution: An optical sensor system is used for the Tape Start and End Sensors on this equipment. Carefully read and follow the instructions below. Otherwise the unit may operate erratically. What to do for preparation Insert a tape into the Deck Mechanism Assembly and press the PLAY button.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS / CBA’S AND TEST POINTS Standard Notes WARNING Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special characteristics. These characteristics often pass unnoticed and the protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.

LIST OF CAUTION, NOTES, AND SYMBOLS USED IN THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES: 1. CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE HAZARD, REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE FUSE. 2. CAUTION: Fixed Voltage (or Auto voltage selectable) power supply circuit is used in this unit. If Main Fuse (F001) is blown, first check to see that all components in the power supply circuit are not defective before you connect the AC plug to the AC power supply.
