~|1| Safety Precautions
1. The design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components specially for safety
purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design uniess authorized in writing
by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Service should
be performed by qualified personnel only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design alterations of the product
should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty and will further
relieve the manufacturer or responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the product have special safety-related characteristics. These
characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily
be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which
have these special safety characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical components
having such features are identified by (A\) on the schematic diagram and Parts List in Service Manual. The use
of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replace-
ment part shown in the Parts List in Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards.
4. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be separated
from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp edges for the prevention of electric shock
and fire hazard.
When service is required, the original lead routing and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed
that they have been returned to normal, after re-assembling.
5. Leakage current check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the product
(antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the pro-
duct is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
* Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a ‘Leakage Current Tester’’, measure the leakage
current from each exposed metal part of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path
to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
® Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having 1,000 ohms per volt or more
sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500 2 10 W resistor paralleled by a 0.15 uF AC-type capacitor
between an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC ET Were ons cea
voltmeter. or more sensitivity.)
Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal o Sl
part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
. 0.15 pF AC TYPE
path to the chassis, and measure the AC voltage across
the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and ‘ Blake thiscorebe
repeat each measurement. Any voltage measured must on each etpcaad
not exceed 0.75 V AC (r.m.s.).
1500 2 10 W metal part.
This corresponds to 0.5 mA AC (r.m.s.).
Good earth ground
—Warning
. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards.
. It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that these safety standards are mainteined.
. Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant safety standards.
. It is essential that safety critical components are replaced by approved parts.
. If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local voltage.

Safety
Precautions
about
PC-Y777
PRECAUTIONS
Prevention of damage to the set
1. Do not leave this unit in direct sunlight or in extremely
hot (about 40°C (104°F)) or humid places or in closed
automobiles in the sun.
2. Exhausted batteries in the unit may cause damage due to
corrosion.
When the unit is not used for more than 2 weeks, remove
the batteries.
3. Never use benzine or thinner for cleaning as these will
damage the cabinet.
4. Place the unit as far away from the TV as possible.
Prevention of electric shock and fire hazards
1. Even when the POWER switch is set to STANDBY, a
very small current will flow. To save power and for
safety when not using the unit for an extended period
of time, disconnect the power cord from the household
AC outlet.
2. Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
3. When unplugging the power cord, always grasp and pull
the plug, not the power cord.

:
1. Make sure that the soldering round does not protrude in
order to maintain a gap between the primary circuit of
the circuit board and the pattern adjoining the primary
circuit.
2. Confirm that the power transistor is provided with the
parts number ‘’VTP57P2-12C/VTP57P2-12CBS"’, and
to prevent the pattern from coming off, confirm that the
fixation screw for the circuit board is not loose.
3. Confirm that the AC socket is provided with the number
“HSC 1466" and that the pattern is properly fixed.
4, Check that clamping has been properly performed to pre-
vent contact with heated parts.
5. As D999, the heat sink IC801, 802,911, R751, R761,
R723, R814, R815, R28, Q914 and 0916 are heated
parts, make sure that they do not come in contact with
the wire and the E. cap.
6. Confirm that fuses F998 and F997 ‘’T4A” “’250” are

“LIVE EFFEX"” Sound System
When stereo sources are heard from the speakers,
often the sound feels far more restricted than in a live
performance. This is because the stereo effect is
degraded due to crosstalk** between our left and right
ears. The PC-Y999/Y777 removes this acoustic cross-
talk between the ears using our newly developed
“LIVE EFFEX” signal sound processor; with this, the
sound image extends beyond the speakers, realizing
a natural stereo sound field.
** Crosstalk is a phenomenon in which sound from
two channels is mixed; in addition to hearing
sound from the right speaker, the right ear hears
sound from the left speaker, with a slight time
delay.
