SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTE

1. When repairing this de vice with the po wer on, if you remo ve the main boar d, this de vice stops w orking. In this case , you w ork without the de vice stopping b y fastening the hook of the DOOR OPEN/CLOSE s witc h (S801) with tape.
2. The electrical components diff er accor ding to the ver sion of the system contr ol IC (IC801). When replacing the IC801, chec k its model name and ad d or remo ve D1001 and/or R1001 as sho wn belo w. For detailed inf ormation, see the Printed Wiring Boar d on pa ge 18 and the Schematic Diagram on page 21. RU6815MF-0004 (V er. 3.0). Add D1001 and R1001 RU6815MF-0005 (V er. 3.2) and later.

SECTION 4 TEST MODE

Outline In this set, overall adjustment mode is made a vailab le b y enter ing test mode to perform automatic adjustment of CD and MO. In the overall adjustment mode, the disc is determined whether it is CD or MO and adjustments are performed in sequence. If a fault is f ound, the location of the fault is displa yed. Also, in ser vo mode,eachadjustmentcanbeautomaticallymade. Setting the Test Mode To enter the test mode , two methods are a vailab le : 1. Entering method with key input. Turn off the HOLD s witc h on the set. While holding do wn the p y on the set, press the f ollo wing remote commander ke ke ys in the following order : + n + n = n = n + n = n + n = Pn P n 2. Entering method by shorting the test point Solder bridg e the test point TAP801 (TEST) on the main boar d (connect IC801 pin #to GND), and turn on the PO WER.
