1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Be careful during removing metal parts, sharp edges.
2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is
found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the
short circuit.
3. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as
insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.
4. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent
2

the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
1.1.1. LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on
the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the
jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the
equipment such as screw heads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When
the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading
should be between 1M and 5.2M . / When the exposed metal does
not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinity.
Figure 1
1.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation
transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 1.5k , 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15 F
capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good
earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to
measure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each
point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above
measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage
current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make
the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 milliampere. In
case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a
possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired
3

and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.
2. WARNING
2.1. PREVENTION OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) TO
ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE (ES) DEVICES
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such
components commonly are called Electrostatic Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices
are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistor-sand semiconductor "chip" components. The
following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or
semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by
touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a
commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be
removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit
under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place
the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to
prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES
devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal
devices not classified as "anti-static (ESD protected)" can generate
electrical charge sufficient
to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical
charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package
until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement
ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by
conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a
replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or
circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
Caution
Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all
other safety precautions.
4

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES
devices. (Otherwise hamless motion such as the brushing together of
your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can
generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES device).
2.2. PRECAUTION OF LASER DIODE
CAUTION: ACHTUNG:
This product utilizes a laser diode with the unit
turned “on”,
invisible laser radiation is emitted from the pickup
lens.
Wave length: 662 nm (DVDs)/795 nm (CDs)
Maximum output radiation power from pickup: 100
W/VDE.
Laser radiation from the pickup lens is safety level,
but be sure
the followings:
Dieses Produkt enthält eine Laserdiode.
Im eingeschalteten Zustand wird unsichtbare
Laserstrahlung von der
Lasereinheit ausgestrahlt.
Wellenlänge: 662 nm(DVDs)/795 nm (CDs)
Maximale Strahlungsleistung der Lasereinheit: 100
VDE.
Die Strahlung der eingeschalteten Lasereinheit ist
ungefährlich, wenn
folgende Punkte beachtet werden:
1. Do not disassemble the optical pickup unit,
since radiation
from exposed laser diode is dangerous.
1. Die Lasereinheit nicht zerlegen, da die Strahlung
an
der freigelegten
Laserdiode gefährlich ist.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistor on the pickup
unit.
It was already adjusted.
2. Den werksseitig justierten Einstellregler der
Lasereinheit nicht
verstellen.
3. Do not look at the focus lens using optical
instruments.
3. Nicht in die Fokussierlinse blicken.
4. Recommend not to look at pickup lens for a long
time.
4. Auch nicht mit optischen Instrumenten in die
Fokussierlinse blicken.

2.3. SERVICE CAUTION BASED ON LEGAL RESTRICTIONS
General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF)
- The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all
electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this
equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.
- The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other
hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin (Sn), silver
(Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is
higher approx.30 degrees C (86°F) more than that of the normal solder.
Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)
- The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for
which the lead free solder is used.
- To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the
original lead free solder.
- Remove the remaining lead free solder on the PCB cleanly for soldering
of the new IC.
- Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the
normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the lead free solder.
- Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature
6

control after setting the temperature
at 350±30 degrees C (662±86°F). When soldering or unsoldering, please
completely remove all of the solder
on the pins or solder area and be sure to heat the soldering points with
the Pb free solder until it melts enough.
Definition of PCB Lead Free Solder being used
- The letter of “Pbf is printed either foil side or component side using the
lead free solder.
Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)
- The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the
service parts route.
RFKZ03D01K-----------(0.3mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ06D01K-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ10D01K-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)
Note
- Ingredient: tin (Sn), 96.5%, silver (Ag) 3.0%, Copper (Cu) 0.5%, Cobalt
(Co) / Germanium (Ge) 0.1 to 0.3%

This complete Information is needed for every customer who is using the DivX Video-on-Demand
Serivce.
Appendix:
* Parts that memorize user’s information are only on the EEPROM.
* The registration of Registration Code is possible for half a year up to 6 recorders up to 10 recorders a
year.
Every replacement of EEPROM or P.C.B. including EEPROM spends one of this.
- Registration Code is memorized in the EEPROM (RFKFxxxxxxx)
- If the Power & Digital I/F P.C.B. or the EEPROM will be changed a new
Registration Code
different from the previous one will be generated.
