HCD-RG490/RG590 SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTES
NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic 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 flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care. NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK 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 pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens. UNLEADED SOLDER Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size) : LEAD FREE MARK Unleaded solder has the following characteristics. · Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher than ordinary solder. Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350 °C. Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful! · Strong viscosity Unleaded solder is more viscou-s (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc. · Usable with ordinary solder It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder. RELEASING THE ANTITHEFT LOCK The disc table lock function for the antitheft of an demonstration disc in the store is equipped. Releasing Procedure : 1. Press the I/1 button to turn the power on. 2. While pressing the x button, press the A button until "UNLOCKED" displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube (around 5 seconds).
Note: When "LOCKED" is displayed, the antitheft lock is not released by turning power on/off with the I/1 button.

Note 1: Remove the mecha deck before this adjustment. (Refer to Section 3. DISASSEMBLY (See page 8)) Note 2: Perform this adjustment for both decks.

Procedure: 1. Mode: Playback
test tape P-4-A063 (6.3 kHz, ­10 dB) MIC. AUX. HP board PHONES jack (J701) level meter set + ­

2. Turn the adjustment screw and check output peaks. If the peaks do not match for L-CH and R-CH, turn the adjustment screw so that outputs match within 1dB of peak.

CD SECTION
Note: 1. CD Block is basically constructed to operate without adjustment. 2. Use YEDS-18 disc (3-702-101-01) unless otherwise indicated. 3. Use an oscilloscope with more than 10 M 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. 5. Check the focus bias check when optical pick-up block is replaced. · Abbreviation MX: Mexican model

Procedure : 1. Connect oscilloscope to TP (RFACI) and TP (VC) on the CD board (Except RG490: MX/RG590: MX) or BD board (RG490: MX/RG590: MX). 2. Press the I/1 button to turn the power on, and press the A button to open the CD disc table. 3. Set disc (YEDS-18) on the tray and press the u button to playback. 4. Confirm that oscilloscope waveform is as shown in the figure below. (eye pattern) A good eye pattern means that the diamond shape () in the center of the waveform can be clearly distinguished.
