IMPORTANT NOTICE
This manual has been provided for the use of authorized YAMAHA Retailers and their service personnel.
It has been assumed that basic service procedures inherant to the industry, and more specifically YAMAHA Products, are already
known and understood by the users, and have therefore not been restated.
WARNING: Failure to follow appropriate service and safety procedures when servicing this product may result in personal
injury, destruction of expensive components and failure of the product to perform as specified. For these reasons,
we advise all YAMAHA product owners that all service required should be performed by an authorized
YAMAHA Retailer or the appointed service representative.
IMPORTANT: The presentation or sale of this manual to any individual or firm does not constitute authorization, certification or
recognition of any applicable technical capabilities, or establish a principle-agent relationship of any form.
The data provided is believed to be accurate and applicable to the unit(s) indicated on the cover. The research, engineering, and
service departments of YAMAHA are continually striving to improve YAMAHA products. Modifications are, therefore, inevitable
and specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation to retrofit. Should any discrepancy appear to exist, please contact
the distributor's Service Division.
WARNING: Static discharges can destroy expensive components. Discharge any static electricity your body may have accumu-
lated by grounding yourself to the ground buss in the unit (heavy gauge black wires connect to this buss).
IMPORTANT: Turn the unit OFF during disassembly and parts replacement. Recheck all work before you apply power to the unit.

s TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
1. Critical Components Information.
Components having special characteristics are marked Z AC LEAKAGE
and must be replaced with parts having specifications equal WALL EQUIPMENT TESTER OR
OUTLET UNDER TEST EQUIVALENT
to those originally installed.
2. Leakage Current Measurement (For 120V Models Only).
When service has been completed, it is imperative to verify
that all exposed conductive surfaces are properly insulated
from supply circuits.
INSULATING
q Meter impedance should be equivalent to 1500 ohm shunted TABLE
by 0.15µF.
q Leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA.
q Be sure to test for leakage with the AC plug in both

q Confirmation of pick-up laser power
Recording and reproduction can be checked by using the laser power meter. However it should be used for checking only
because there is variation in its measurement.
When the measured value is excessively deviated from the reference value, replace the pick-up.
Reference value (measured at room temperature of 25 °C)
During reproduction (ppw) : 0.72 ± 0.1 mW
During recording : 5.5 ± 0.5 mW
Note : Be very careful when using the laser power meter. The laser beam would cause damage to your eye if exposed to it
directly.

Note) Adjust the position of the lead-in switch to FF85 ~ FFD2.
1. Loosen 2 screws (A) fixing the mechanism switch P.C.B.
2. Retighten screws while pushing the mechanism switch P.C.B. in the arrow (<-) direction and then measure the
position of the lead-in switch again. After adjusting the position, tighten 2 screws (A) securely. (Fig.12)




Loosen 2 screws (A)
Note) Apply thread lock to 2 screws on the
P.C.B. after tightening them.

q Forced rotation of loading motor
It is possible to force the loading motor to rotate by turning the jog dial when the microprocessor version (tsm13**e**)
of the test mode or EJECT appears on display. (This is used when the disc cannot be ejected.)


* To obtain the microprocessor version on display When a disc is loaded, " _ AUT _ YOBI _ " appears on display. Press
the DELETE/CANCEL key in this state, and the microprocessor version will appear.

optical pick-up to the center position and follow the procedure
described below. Radial direction Push down with a finger.

1.Push down the up-shift arm of the magnetic head with a finger to
raise the magnetic head.
2.Looking at the unit from above, check if the magnetic head
matches with the optical pick-up objective lens.
3.Check to ensure that the magnetic head moves up and down
smoothly.
