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

NOTE ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused
on the disc refl ective surface by the objective lens in tha optical
pick-up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other
stereo components, the amperage rating of the car
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher
than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.
If no car circuits are rated high enough, connect the unit
directly to the battery.

Notes on speaker connection
Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with adequate
power handling capacities to avoid damage.
Do not connect the speaker terminals to the car chassis, or connect the
terminals of the right speakers with those of the left speakers.
Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the negative (–)
terminal of a speaker.
Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel.
Connect only passive speakers. Connecting active speakers (with
built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals may damage the unit.
To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker leads installed in
your car if they feature a common negative (–) lead for the right and left
speakers.
Do not connect the unit’s speaker leads to each other.
