1. Replacing the fuses
2. Safety check out
This symbol located near the fuse indicates that the
fuse used is slow operating type, For continued protection against
fire hazard, replace with same type fuse, For fuse rating, refer to
the marking adjacent to the symbol.
Ce symbole indique que le fusible utilise est e lent.
Pour une protection permanente, n'utiliser que des fusibles de meme
type. Ce demier est indique la qu le present symbol est apposre.
Press ON/STANDBY button while pressing down VCR/DVR(TX-NR525/HT-RC550 is CBL/SAT) button
when the unit is POWER ON, then the FL displays "CLEAR", and turn to STAND-BY. Remove power cord from power line.
(U.S.A. model only)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety check before releasing the unit to the customer.
Leakage current Check
Measure the leakage current to a known earth ground (water pipe or conduct etc.) by connecting a leakage current
tester between the earth ground and exposed metal parts of the unit (input/output ground terminals,
screw heads or metal overlays etc.).
Plug the power supply cord directly into a 120Vac 60Hz wall socket and turn ON/STANDBY button on.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.

5. Notes on repairs (Power supply board)
Some parts on BAPS-1333 may remain high voltages even after the power cord is disconnected from AC power source.
Before starting repair and any other work , please discharge C9002 by connecting resistors between its terminals.
See the figure below(recommended resistor spec: 5 k ohms/ 10W)
It is dangerous to touch the "HIGH VOLTAGE PRIMARY" area surrounded by white lines without discharging.
