PRECAUTION
1.1SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
(1)Thedesignofthisproductcontainsspecialhardware,
manycircuitsandcomponentsspeciallyforsafety
purposes.Forcontinuedprotection,nochangesshouldbe
madetotheoriginal design unlessauthorizedinwriting by
themanufacturer. Replacementpartsmustbeidenticalto
thoseusedintheoriginalcircuits.Serviceshouldbe
performedbyqualified personnel only.
(2)Alterations of the designor circuitryof theproductsshould
notbemade.Anydesign alterationsoradditions willvoid
themanufacturer'swarrantyandwill furtherrelieve the
manufacturerofresponsibilityforpersonalinjuryor

(3)Manyelectrical and mechanical partsintheproductshave
specialsafety-related characteristics.These
characteristicsareoftennot evidentfromvisual inspection
norcantheprotection affordedbythemnecessarilybe
obtainedbyusingreplacementcomponentsratedfor
highervoltage,wattage,etc.Replacementpartswhich

(5)If anyrepairhas beenmadetothechassis,it is
recommendedthatthe B1settingshouldbe checkedor
adjusted(SeeB1POWERSUPPLYcheck).
(6)Thehighvoltageapplied tothepicturetubemustconform
withthatspecifiedinServicemanual. Excessive high
voltage cancausean increase inX-Rayemission,arcing

occurs,removetheACpowerimmediatelyand determine
thecause by visualinspection (incorrectinstallation,

manufacturer'sreplacementcomponents.
(9) IsolationCheck (SafetyforElectrical Shock Hazard)
Afterre-assemblingthe product, alwaysperforman
isolationcheckontheexposedmetalpartsofthecabinet
(antennaterminals,video/audioinputand outputterminals,
Control knobs,metalcabinet,screwheads,earphonejack,
controlshafts,etc.)tobesuretheproductissafetooperate
without dangerofelectrical shock.
a) DielectricStrengthTest
Theisolationbetween theACprimarycircuitandallmetal
partsexposedtotheuser, particularlyanyexposedmetal
part having areturnpathtothe chassisshouldwithstand a
voltage of 3000VAC(r.m.s.) for aperiod of one second. (.

appliancerated upto120V,and3000VAC (r.m.s.)toan
appliancerated200Vormore,foraperiodofone second.)

b) LeakageCurrent Check
PlugtheAClinecorddirectlyintotheACoutlet(donotuse
alineisolationtransformerduringthischeck.).Usinga
"LeakageCurrentTester",measurethe leakage current
fromeachexposedmetalpartofthecabinet, particularly
anyexposedmetalpart havingareturnpathtothe chassis,
toaknowngoodearthground (waterpipe,etc.). Any
leakagecurrent mustnot exceed 0.5mAAC(r.m.s.).
However, intropical area,thismustnotexceed0.2mAAC
(r.m.s.).
