SERVICE MANUAL
CDX-E400
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.

■ TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
1. Critical Components Information
Components having special characteristics are marked Z
and must be replaced with parts having specifications equal
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.
●Meter impedance should be equivalent to 1500 ohm shunted
by 0.15µF.
●Leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA.
●Be sure to test for leakage with the AC plug in both
polarities.

WARNING: CHEMICAL CONTENT NOTICE!
The solder used in the production of this product contains LEAD. In addition, other electrical/electronic and/or
plastic (where applicable) components may also contain traces of chemicals found by the California Health and
Welfare Agency (and possibly other entities) to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DO NOT PLACE SOLDER, ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC OR PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN YOUR MOUTH FOR
ANY REASON WHATSOEVER!
Avoid prolonged, unprotected contact between solder and your skin! When soldering, do not inhale solder fumes
or expose eyes to solder/flux vapor!
If you come in contact with solder or components located inside the enclosure of this product, wash your hands
before handling food.
THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
WARNING: Laser Safety
This product contains a laser beam component. This component may emit invisible, as well as visible radiation,
which may cause eye damage. To protect your eyes and skin from laser radiation, the following precautions must
be used during servicing of the unit.
1) When testing and/or repairing any component within the product, keep your eyes and skin more than 30 cm away from
the laser pick-up unit at all times. Do not stare at the laser beam at any time.
2) Do not attempt to readjust, disassemble or repair the laser pick-up, unless noted elsewhere in this manual.
3) CAUTION : Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Laser Emitting conditions:
1) When the Top Cover is removed, and the “STANDBY/ON”SW is turned to the "ON" position, the laser component will
emit a beam for several seconds to detect if a disc is present. During this time (5-10 sec.) the laser may radiate through
the lens of the laser pick-up unit. Do not attempt any servicing during this period!
If no disc is detected, the laser will stop emitting the beam. When a disc is set, you will not be exposed to any laser
emissions.
2) The laser power level can be adjusted with the VR on the pick-up PWB. However, this level has been set by the factory
prior to shipping from the factory. Do not adjust this laser level control unless instruction is provided elsewhere in this
manual. Adjustment of this control can increase the laser emission level from the device.

Laser Diode Properties
●Material : GaAlAs
●Wavelength : 780 nm
●Emission Duration : Continuous
●Laser Output : max. 44.6 µW*
* This output is the value measured at a distance of about
200 mm from the objective lens surface on the Optical
Pick-up Block.
When checking the laser diode emission, keep your eyes more
than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

■PREVENTION OF ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE
The laser diode in the CD mechanism unit (optical pickup) may be damaged due to static electricity from clothes or
the human body. Use caution to prevent electrostatic damage when servicing or handling the laser diode.
1. Grounding for electrostatic damage prevention
1. Worktable grounding
Put a grounded conductive material (sheet) or iron sheet on the area where the optical pickup is placed.
2. Human body grounding
Use an anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity from your body.
2. Handling of the optical pickup
Do not use a tester to check the laser diode in the optical pickup. The power supply in the tester will damage the
laser diode.
3. Handling Precautions for the CD mechanism Unit (Optical Pickup)
1. Handle the CD mechanism unit (optical pickup) gently, as it is an extremely high-precision assembly.
2. The flexible cable lines may break if an excessive force is applied to it. Use caution when handling the cable.
3. The semi-fixed resistor for laser power adjustment should not be adjusted. Do not turn the resistor.
