Procedure:
1.

Supply a 98 MHz signal at 28 dB from the ANTENNA terminal.

2.

Tune the set to 98 MHz.

3.

Adjust RV101 to the point (moment) when the TUNED
indicator will change from going off to going on.

Adjustment Location: MAIN board

Procedure:
1.

Supply a 98 MHz signal at 60 dB from the ANTENNA terminal.

2.

Tune the set to 98 MHz.

3.

Procedure :
1. Connect oscilloscope to pin q; (IC751).
2. Turned Power switch on.
3. Load a disc (YEDS-18) and playback.
4. Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is clear and check RF signal

level is correct or not.

Note :

Clear RF signal waveform means that the shape “

distinguished at the center of the waveform.

Note :

1. CD Block is basically designed to operate without adjustment.

Therefore, check each item in order given.

2. Use YEDS-18 disc (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated.
3. Use an oscilloscope with more than 10M

Ω impedance.

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

when the signal level is low than specified value with the
following checks.
