1. SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
1.1 NOTES ON SOLDERING
• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit. A
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden). B
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:

• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.
1.2 CAUTION

• Discharging
For more detail, please refer to “7. DISASSEMBLY - 1. Discharging”.
• Notes on Ground Points Connection

Note: A
(1) Even if the unit shown in the photos and illustrations in this manual may differ from your product, the
procedures described here are common.
(2) For performing the diagnosis shown below, the following jigs for service is required:
• 10P extension jig cable (GGD1628)
• 8P extension jig cable (GGD1629)
• Board to board extension jig cable (GGD1673)
1. Discharging B
[1] MAIN Assy Capacitor (C179, C180)
[Procedures]
(1) Unplug the power cord.
(2) Disconnect the 8P CONNECTOR that connects the CN202 of the AMP Assy and CP107 of the MAIN Assy from the CP107.
(3) Connect CP107 B+ (pins 5 and 6) and B- (pins 7 and 8, respectively) terminals, using resistor leads with 47 - 100 ohms
(2 W or higher), for discharging.
∗ Discharging time: 30 - 60 seconds, depending on the level of resistance.
(4) Check that the voltage between the B+ and GND terminals, as well as that between the B- and GND terminals, is less
than 1 V, using a tester.
∗ Be sure to connect the GND terminal of the tester to the chassis.
∗ If the voltage is still 1 V or higher, repeat Step (3). C

[Note]
During repair, before checking the MAIN Assy, etc., with the rear chassis removed, be sure to connect the
GND terminal of the main capacitor to the chassis back (TUNER PACK chassis), as shown below, then connect the
power cord.
Without grounding connection, the protection circuit will be activated.

After repairing, be sure to remove the ground wire before reassembling.

12. PCB PARTS LIST

- The > mark found on some component parts indicates the importance of the safety factor of the part. A
- When ordering resistors, first convert resistance values into code form as shown in the following examples.
Ex.1 When there are 2 effective digits (any digit apart from 0), such as 560 ohm and 47 k ohm (tolerance is shown by J = 5%,
and K = 10%).
560 Ω → 56 × 101 → 561 ................................................................... RD1/4PU 5 6 1 J
47 kΩ → 47 × 103 → 473 ................................................................... RD1/4PU 4 7 3 J
0.5 Ω → R50 ................................................................................................. RN2H R 5 0 K
1Ω → 1R0 ................................................................................................. RS1P 1 R 0 K
Ex.2 When there are 3 effective digits (such as in high precision metal film resistors).
5.62 kΩ → 562 × 101 → 5621 ................................................................. RN1/4PC 5 6 2 1 F
- Meaning of the figures and others in the parentheses in the parts list.
B
Example) IC 301 is on the point (face A, 91 of x-axis, and 111 of y-axis) of the corresponding PC board.
