B. Changes in and Addition to Circuit Components Changes made to RA-1000 (applicable to the units with Serial No. beginning NC61910 or over). 4) MC Head Amp Circuit is added to the Phono Amp Girouit. The Phono Circuit with builtin MG Head ‘Amp is the same as that of the RC-1000. Because Of this modification, the capacitors C423, and 424 fon the Phono Amp Circuit is changed to 100mfa. +B Circuit is partly modified. Fig. 2 shows the modified and related portion. ) Because of this modification, component parts are ‘added as listed in Table 1 to the models equipped With builtin MC Head Amp.

See Fig. 3. Change of Phono Amp Circuit: 1) FET 401 and 402 are changed from 2SK130 to 2SK155(S). 2) Because of the change in (1), R403 and 404 are specified as 820 ohms only. 3) Electrolytic capacitors C429 and 430, 470mfd, are added in parallel with D401 and 402. (See Fig. 2 Phono Amp Circuit for RA-1000). The units for Norway and Switzerland are provid ed with fuse which is placed at the secondary side fof the power supply circuit as shawn in Fig. 4 (as, required by NEMKO and SEV standards) 3) " Fuse Circuit Board Ass'y 141810988 Fuse, 125mAT 345952012 Fuse Clip, 648211147 ‘Changes common to RA-1000 and RC-1000 4) Transistors Q501 and 502 on the Tone Amp Cir. cuit are changed from 2SC828 to 28C1327 (R, S), Part No. 301201175 (in order to improve noise characteristics). cae . a tm ..| 0 Uy Note: The pattem encircled by the broken line hat been cut off Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Power Supply Circuit (Portion) for RC-1000 (NEMKO, SEV Approved Type Only)Chassis Layout (Top View) RA-1000 Function Selector Volume Contra!

Set vertical gain control of the oscilloscope to 0.01V/ cm, and vertical input switch to GND. Bring the trace to central position on the screen; then set the vertical input switch to DC. 2. Connect the oscilloscope to speaker terminals of amplifier. Set volume control of the amplifier to minimum position. Turn on the power. When DC output appears on the screen (the trace will shift upwards or downwards as shown in Fig. 1), adjust potentiometer VR6O1 on the main-amplifier PC board so that the DC output trace falls on zero position (the position set up in step 1) 3. Repeat the adjustment in step 2 for the other channel. Fig. 1. DC Balance Adjustment (RA-1000, RB-1000) ‘AouUsT vn6or so THat ouTPUt OF De. VOLTAGE.

Reason: To insure stable operation when the unit ‘operates for a long time at high output. ‘These modifications have been made on the units with serial numbers NC37654 and over. (With some of the units having serial numbers up to NC37654, installing position of RGOB and C610 has been changed already for the same reason.) Models RA-1000 and RC-1000 1. Value of capacitor C505 (C506) on the tone amp cir- cuit has been changed from 1 mfd to 4.7 mfd. Reason: To reduce residual noise. This modification has been made on the units with serial numbers NC18450 and over. Note: Schematic diagram and PC board diagram given in this manual are showing the new value. 2. Specification for tapemonitor switch has been changed from non-short type to non-short/short type. Reason: To suppress pop-noise produced when the switch is operated. © Only new type switches will be supplied for repairSpecifications AMPLIFIER SECTION Continuous Rated Power Output RMS, both channas driven 20H to 20,000H2, 0.03% THD Total Harmonie Distortion 2oH42 to 20,0002 Rated output UZrated output 1W power output Interradulation Distortion ‘He: 7,000 = 4:1 Damping Factor “2obH2 to 20,000H2, 82.
