VARIOUS COMPLAINTS - TIPS AND SOLUTIONS
Complaint Of Noisy Recording, Dropout, “Static” Or “Ticking” Sound During Recording: Check Flat Cable
Connecting Record And Play Decks – order part# 6850R-GZ21Z. Also ground cable to chassis
(with paper
clip or alligator clip)
No Digital Signal Output:
Check T401
Check X501
Units with serial #’s LG0001-8001 (120v) and higher should not have a problem with components.
Check T101
Units with serial #’s LG0001-29501 (120v) and higher should not have a problem with component.
Playability Upgrades:
Remove C121,C222
C104: change from 0.1ohms to 0.015 ohms.
R130: change from 5.6Ω to 8.2Ω.
R312: change from 15Ω to 22Ω.
R310: change from 22Ω to 15Ω.
Units with serial #’s LG0001-29501(120v) and higher have been modified

For complaint: "CR2 defaults back to X1 speed when attempting to record at X4 speed" :
Normal conditions -
1) Will occur when an external input is selected.
2) Will occur when dubbing from a copied CD. (automatically goes into analog recording)
3) Will occur when dubbing from a copy protected CD. (automatically goes into analog recording)
