The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electro-
static breakdown because of the potential difference generated by
the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also
use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the
repair parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused
on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emis-
sion, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

• Material: GaAlAs
• Wavelength: 780 nm
• Emission Duration: continuous
• Laser Output Power: less than 44.6 

µ

W*

* This output is the value measured at a distance of 200 mm

from the objective lens surface on the Optical Pick-up Block.

This set is available with two types, Initial Lot type and User Up-
grade type, depending on the software version used in the micro-
computer.
If the Flash Memory (IC1030 on MAIN board) or mounted MAIN
board was replaced, the work (*1) required after parts replace-
ment is different according to the type. Therefore, before parts
replacement, check the type of set, and then perform the work
(*1) necessary for that type. However, if the version check is im-
possible because of a trouble in the set, handle it as a User Up-
grade type.
*1: For the work required after parts replacement, refer to “Setup

After Parts Replacement” and “Version Up After Microcom-
puter Software Related Parts Replacement” (page 22) in the
following section.

Procedure for check the version:
1. Select the “Test Mode” from the test mode main menu by ro-

tating the right jog dial (PUSH LIST), and press the right jog
button (PUSH LIST) to enter the Test Mode.

2. Rotate the right jog dial (PUSH LIST) to select the “Version”,

and press the right jog button (PUSH LIST) to enter the Ver-
sion mode.

3. With the “Version” mode activated, press the right jog button

(PUSH LIST), and the versions of Main, Sub, CD Servo will
be displayed respectively. Check the version of “Main”.
Version by type:
Initial Lot type

: 1.00.05

User Upgrade type : 2.03.02

This set requires the work such as microcomputer software ver-
sion up, system ID setting and HDD formatting, if either of flash
memory, microcomputer (or mounted MAIN, SUB, or SERVO
board) and hard disk drive (HDD) was replaced.
Perform the work required by referring to the “Test mode”, if ei-
ther of the following parts was replaced.

*1: Including the case where the mounted board as a whole is re-

placed.

*2: Executing the HDD formatting causes the user’s recorded data

to be all erased, and therefore be careful not to execute this
operation by mistake if the HDD was not replaced.

Refer to “Version Up After Microcomputer Software Related
Parts Replacement”.

System ID setting and HDD processing:

Refer to “Relating with ID”.

Pr cautions

•Cet appareil est exclusivement conçu pour

fonctionner sur une tension de 12 V CC avec
masse négative.

•Evitez de fixer des vis sur les câbles ou de

coincer ceux-ci dans des pièces mobiles (par
exemple, armature de siège).

•Avant d’effectuer des raccordements, éteignez

le moteur pour éviter les courts-circuits.

•Raccordez les fils d’entrée d’alimentation

 et rouge seulement après avoir terminé

tous les autres raccordements.

•Rassemblez tous les fils de terre en un point

•Veillez à isoler avec du chatterton tout fil lâche

non raccordé.

Remarques sur le cordon d’alimentation
(jaune)
•Lorsque cet appareil est raccordé à d’autres

appareils stéréo, la valeur nominale des
circuits de la voiture raccordée doit être
supérieure à la somme des fusibles de chaque
appareil.

•Si aucun circuit de la voiture n’est assez

puissant, raccordez directement l’appareil à la
batterie.

Avant l installation ( 1)

N’installez pas l’appareil dans un endroit où il
pourrait gêner le conducteur dans ses
mouvements.
Exemple :
— dans un endroit où l’ouverture et la

fermeture de la façade ou du plateau de
disque pourraient nuire aux changements de
vitesse ;

— dans un endroit où l’ouverture de la façade

pourrait bloquer l’accès à l’interrupteur de
feux de détresse et aux autres commandes.

Cautions

• This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V

DC operation only.

• Do not get the wires under a screw, or caught

in moving parts (e.g. seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the car

ignition off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the yellow and red power input leads

only after all other leads have been connected.

• Run all ground wires to a common ground

• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected

wires with electrical tape for safety.

• The use of optical instruments with this

product will increase eye hazard.

Notes on the power supply cord (yellow)
• When connecting this unit in combination with

other stereo components, the connected car
circuit’s rating must be higher than the sum of
each component’s fuse.

• When no car circuits are rated high enough,

connect the unit directly to the battery.

Before installation (

1

)

Do not install the unit where its operation
interferes with driving.
Example:
— Opening and closing of the front panel or

disc tray interfere with operation of the gear
shift.

— With the front panel open, operation of

hazard lamps, switches etc., is impaired.
