Before Repair and Adjustment:
Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C566~C569, C782 and C591 through a 10Ω, 5W resistor to ground.
DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices.
After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid over current. Current consumption at AC 120V, 60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~650mA.
Protection Circuitry
The protection circuitry may have operated if either of the following conditions are noticed:
• No sound is heard when the power is turned on.
• Sound stops during a performance.
The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connection wires are “shorted”, or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used.
If this occurs, follow the procedure outlines below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.
3. Turn on the power once again after one minute.
Note : When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first turned off and then on again.

CD SECTION : RAE0152Z-3 TRAVERSE DECK SERIES
1.The traverse deck (optical pickup) is an extremely high precision construction and must not be subjected to impact, excessive vibration, or other types of rough handling.
2. In order to prevent static electricity damage to the laser diode, use a short pin or similar tool to short the optical pickup’s flexible circuit boards after they have been disconnected from the main circuit board.
3. Handle the flexible circuit boards with care; excessive force could cause them to be broken.
4. Do not turn the pre-set variable resistor (for adjustment of the laser power); it has been adjusted at the factory.

Head Azimuth adjustment
1. Connect the measuring instrument as shown in Fig.
2. Replace azimuth screws for both forward and reverse direction after removing the screw-locking bond left on the head base.
3. Playback the azimuth adjustment portion(8kHz, -20dB) of test tape(QZZCFM). Adjust the azimuth adjusting screw until the outputs of the L/Rch are maximized.
Make sure that the difference in the peak level between the left and right channels does not exceed 5dB.
4. Perform the same adjustment in reverse playback mode.
Check of the level difference forward and reverse directions
5. Playback the playback gain adjustment portion(315Hz, 0dB) of test tape(QZZCFM). Check if level difference between forward and reverse direction is within 1.5dB.
6. After the adjustment, apply screw lock to the azimuth adjusting screw.
