  It indicates the operation that is being processed when the trou-

ble has occurred.

 

It indicates the step number of each processing specifi ed by 3. 
Because the numbers of steps are different in each processing, 
this number is different in each processing. 

Note1: Do not enter the [CD FACTORY MODE] while any other test-

mode is in progress.

Note2: Do not enter any other test mode while the [CD FACTORY 

MODE] is in progress.

Procedure:
1.  Press the [

?/1

] button to turn the power on.

2.  Press the [FUNCTION] button to select CD function
3.  Press three buttons of [N], [FUNCTION], and [DISPLAY] 

simultaneously.

4.  It enters the CD factory mode and displays the following mes-

sage.

  –X1ON   

 

 S character mode setting

 

 Tracking servo setting

 

 RF gain setting

Key Operation:
[DISPLAY]:
 

The display changes in the following order when-
ever the button is pressed.

 

(Initial display)

fcsAG ** (**: Focus AGC value)

trkAG ** (**: Track AGC value)

RF-AG ** (**: RF AGC value)

[DSGX]:
 

RF gain setting changes whenever the button is 
pressed.

 

“–”: No gain fi xation.

 

“AL”: Fix to the gain for AL disc.

 

“RW”: Fix to the gain for RW disc.

[EQ]:
 

Tracking servo setting changes whenever the but-
ton is pressed.

 

“ON”: Tracking servo ON.

 

“OFF”: Tracking servo OFF.

[FUNCTION]:
 

S character mode setting changes whenever the but-
ton is pressed.

 

“  ”: S character mode OFF.

 

“S”: S character mode ON.

5.  To release from this mode, press the [

?/1

] button to turn the 

power off.

Note:
1.  CD Block is basically constructed to operate without adjustment.
2.  Use YEDS-18 disc (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated.
3.  Use an oscilloscope with more than 10 M

Ω impedance.

4.  Clean the object lens by an applicator with neutral detergent when the 

signal level is low than specifi ed value with the following checks.

5.  Check the focus bias check when optical pick-up block is replaced.

Procedure :
1.  Connect the oscilloscope to TP121 (RFI) and TP124 (VC) on 

the CD board.

2.  Press the [

?/1

] button to turn the power ON, and press the [

Z

] 

button to open the CD disc tray.

3.  Set disc (YEDS-18) on the trey and press the [N] button to 

playback.

4. Confi rm that oscilloscope waveform is as shown in the fi gure 

below. (eye pattern)

    A good eye pattern means that the diamond shape (

◊) in the 

center of the waveform can be clearly distinguished.

1.  Turn the set to 98 MHz.
2.  Adjust L802 so that modulation distortion may become the 

best in the vicinity of the maximum value where the tuner out 
level becomes –15dBuV or more.

 

Ω

Procedure :
1.  Turn the power on.
2.  Input the following signal from Signal Generator to FM an-

tenna input directly.

Carrier frequency : A = 87.5 MHz, B = 98 MHz, C = 108 MHz
Deviation 

: 75 kHz

Modulation 

: 1 kHz

ANT input 

: 35 dBu (EMF)

Note:  Please use 75 ohm “coaxial cable” to connect SG and the set. You 

cannot use video cable for checking.

 

Please use SG whose output impedance is 75 ohm. 

 
3.  Set to FM tuner function and scan the input FM signal with 

automatic scanning.

4. Confi rm that input Frequency of A, B and C detected and auto-

matic scanning stops.

 
The stop of automatic scanning means “The station signal is re-
ceived in good condition”.
