1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. INTRODUCTION
This service manual contains technical information, whichallowservice personnel’s to
understand and service this model.
Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers.
If the circuit is changedormodified, the information will be followedbyservice manual tobe
controlledwithoriginal service manual.
1.2. ABOUTLEAD FREE SOLDER(PbF)
Distinction of PbF PCB:
PCBs (manufactured) using leadfree solderwill have a PbF stampon the PCB.
Caution:
-Pb free solder has ahigher melting point than standard solder,
Typicallythe melting point is50-70°F (30-40°C)higher.
Please use ahigh temperature soldering iron. Incase of soldering
iron with temperature control, please set itto 700±20°F (370±10°C)
2

-Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about
1100°F/600°C).
Whensoldering orunsoldering, please completelyremove all of the solderon the pins orsolder
area, and be sure toheat the soldering points withthe Pbfree solderuntil it melts enough.

the “CS-Web from AVC”web-site in“TSNsystem”, together with
Maintenance software.
1.4.2. INITIALSETTINGS:
Whenyou replace the MainC.B.A. be sure toperform the initial settings afterachieving the
Adjustment, byordering the following procedure inaccordance withmodel suffix.
Preparation:
Insert the SD cardwhichhas a fewphotodata.
-Step 1. The temporarycancellation of factorysetting:
Set the mode dial to “[SINGLE] ”.
Whilekeep pressing [Flash] and “[UP] of Cross key”
simultaneously, turn the Power on.
-Step 2. The cancellation of factorysetting:
Set the mode dial to “[Playback] ”.
Whilekeep pressing [Flash] and “[UP] of Cross key”
simultaneously.
-Step 3. Displaythe INITIALSETTING:
Set the mode dial to “[SINGLE] ”.
Whilekeep pressing [MENU]and “[RIGHT] of Cross key”
simultaneously, turn the Power off.

-Step 4. Set the INITIALSETTING:
Select the area with pressing “[UP] / [DOWN]of Cross key”,
and then press the “[RIGHT] of Cross key”.
The onlyset area isdisplayed, and then press the "[RIGHT] of
Cross key"after confirmation. (The unitispowered off
automatically.)
Confirm the displayof “PLEASE SET THECLOCK”inEnglish
when the unitisturned on again.
-NOTE:
The displayshows“PLEASE SET THECLOCK”when turn the
Power on again.
Connect the unitto PCwith USBcableand isdetected as

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1. GENERALGUIDELINES
1. IMPORTANTSAFETY NOTICE
There are special components used inthisequipment which are
important for safety. These parts are marked byinthe
SchematicDiagrams, CircuitBoard Layout, Exploded Viewsand
Replacement Parts List. Itisessential thatthese critical parts
shouldbe replaced with manufacturer’sspecified parts to prevent
X-RADIATION, shock, fire, or other hazards. Donot modifythe
original design without permission of manufacturer.
2. AnIsolation Transformer shouldalwaysbe used during the
servicing of AC Adaptor whose chassisisnot isolated from the
AC power line. Use atransformer of adequate power rating as this
protects the technician from accidents resulting inpersonalinjury
from electrical shocks. Itwill also protect AC Adaptor from being
damaged byaccidental shorting that mayoccur during servicing.
3. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. Ifashort circuit
isfound, replace all parts which have been overheated or
damaged bythe short circuit.
4. After servicing, see to itthat all the protective devices such as
insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
5. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to
prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
2.2. LEAKAGECURRENTCOLDCHECK
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect ajumper between the two
prongs on the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the
jumpered AC plug and each exposed metalliccabinet part on the
equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc.
When the exposed metallicpart has areturn path to thechassis,
the reading shouldbe between 1M and 5.2M . When the
exposed metal does not have areturn path to the chassis, the
6

reading must be infinity.
2.3. LEAKAGECURRENTHOTCHECK (See Figure 1.)
1. Plug the AC cord directlyinto the AC outlet. Donot use an
isolation transformer for thischeck.
2. Connect a1.5k , 10 Wresistor, inparallel with a0.15 F
capacitor, between each exposed metallicpart on the set and a
good earth ground, as showninFigure 1.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1k /Vor more sensitivity, to measure
the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallicpart, and measure the voltage at
each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug inthe AC outlet and repeat each of the above
measurements.
6. The potential at anypoint shouldnot exceed 0.75 VRMS. A
leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) maybe
used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2
mA. Incase ameasurement isoutside of thelimits specified, there
isapossibilityof ashock hazard, and the equipment shouldbe
repaired and rechecked before itisreturned to the customer.

3. PREVENTION OF ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) TO ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE (ES)
DEVICES
Some semiconductor(solidstate) devices canbe damagedeasilybystatic electricity. Such
components commonlyare calledElectrostaticallySensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical
ES devices are integratedcircuits and some field-effect transistorsand semiconductor"chip"
components. The following techniques shouldbe usedtohelpreduce the incidence of
component damage causedbyelectrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Immediatelybefore handling anysemiconductor component or
7

semiconductor-equipped assembly, drainoff anyESDon your
bodybytouching aknownearth ground. Alternatively, obtainand
wear acommerciallyavailabledischarging ESDwrist strap,
whichshouldbe removed for potential shock reasons prior to
applying power to the unitunder test.
2. After removing an electrical assemblyequipped with ES devices,
place the assemblyon aconductive surface such as aluminum
foil, to prevent electrostaticcharge buildup or exposure of the
assembly.
3. Use onlyagrounded-tipsoldering iron to solder or unsolder ES
devices.
4. Use onlyan antistaticsolder removal device. Some solder
removal devices not classified as "antistatic(ESDprotected)" can
generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Donot use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Donot remove areplacement ES device from its protective
package until immediatelybefore you are readyto install it. (Most
replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically
shorted together byconductive foam, aluminum foil or
comparableconductive material).
7. Immediatelybefore removing the protective material from the
leads of areplacement ES device, touch the protective material to
the chassisor circuitassemblyinto which the device will be
installed.
CAUTION :
Besure no power isapplied to the chassisor circuit, and observe
all other safetyprecautions.
8. Minimize bodilymotions when handling unpackaged replacement
ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing
together of your clothes fabricor the lifting of your foot from a
carpeted floor can generate staticelectricity(ESD)sufficient to
damage an ES device).

Foryoursafety, please readthe following text carefully.
This appliance is suppliedwitha mouldedthree-pinmains plug foryoursafetyand convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fittedinthis plug.
Shouldthe fuse needtobe replacedplease ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5
amperes and it is approvedbyASTA orBSI toBS1362
Check forthe ASRA mark orthe BSI mark on the bodyof the fuse.
If the plug contains a removable fuse coveryou must ensure that it is refittedwhenthe fuse is
replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover, the plug must not be useduntil a replacement coveris obtained.
A replacement fuse covercanbe purchasedfromyourlocal Panasonic Dealer.
If the fittedmouldedplug is unsuitable forthe socket outlet inyourhome thenthe fuse should
be removedand the plug cut off and disposedof safety.
