• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be

damaged by heat.

• Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270˚C

during 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.

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.)

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.

In case of repairing, please bring the entire system set([HCD-WZ5,
DXA-WZ5],except for the speaker) to the service station.

Perform the following procedures 1 to 7 to hook up your system using the supplied cords and 
accessories. European model is used for illustration purpose.

Place the components as shown below.

1

Connect to the same numbered jack in the 
order indicated on the rear panel.

The system cable is used to send signals and electricity 
between the components for interlinked operation.

Be sure to insert the connector horizontally until it 
clicks into place. Otherwise the system will not operate 
correctly.

2

Be sure to match the appropriate speaker 
cords from the speaker terminals to the 
corresponding SPEAKER terminals on the 
tape deck.
