change from TUNER to CD or USB but it will improve tuner
reception.

• When CD and USB POWER is set to ON, the power supply to

the BU and USB Micom is not cut off during TUNER function.
It will reduce the time taken to access CD or USB when function
change from TUNER to CD or USB but it will decrease tuner
reception performance.

Procedure:
1. Press  ?/1  button to turn on the system.

Procedure:
1. Press  ?/1  button to turn on the system.
2. Press  x  button, [CHORUS] button and [DISC SKIP/EX-

CHANGE] button simultaneously.

3. The VACS Level Display, the fluorescent indicator tube displays

“VATB F APC”. “V” represent VACS, A represent VACS level
which is triggered by signal level, “T” represent Thermal VACS
NEO, B represent VACS level which is triggered by temperature,
“F” represent FAN is triggered by software to turn in to high
speed, “AP” represent APVACS (Abuse Protection VACS) and
“C” represent APVACS level which is triggered.

What to do

1. Please check the model resistor value and replace with correct

parts.

2. Plug in the set. The error message shall not be appear.

1. Clean the following parts with a denatured alcohol-moistened

swab:
record/playback heads pinch rollers
erase head

rubber belts

capstan

idlers

2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head

demagnetizer.

3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustments.
4. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to

the parts adjusted.

5. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power

supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
