1 Safety Precautions
1.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. 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.
2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
3. After servicing, carry out the following leakage current checks to prevent 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 screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the
chassis, the reading should be between 1MΩand 5.2MΩ.
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be .
Figure 1
1.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See Figure 1.)
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 1.5kΩ, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15µF 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 milliamp. In case a measurement is outside of the limits
specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to
the customer.
1.2. Before Repair and Adjustment
Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C5700, C5717, C5718, C5742, C5796 through a 10 Ω, 10 W resistor
to ground.
DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices.
After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent.
Current consumption at AC 120 V, 60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode volume minimal should be ~ 900 mA.
1.3. Protection Circuitry
The protection circuitry may have operated if either of the following conditions are noticed:
· No sound is heard when the power is turned on.
· Sound stops during a performance.
The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connection wires are
“shorted”, or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used.
5
SA-HT640WPL

If this occurs, follow the procedure outlines below:
1. Turn off the power.
2. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.
3. Turn on the power once again after one minute.
Note:
When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first turned off and then on again.

2 Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and
semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage
caused by electro static 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.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the
brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD)
sufficient to damage an ES device).

3 Precaution of Laser Diode
CAUTION:
This unit utilizes a class 1 laser.
Invisible laser radiation is emitted from the optical pickup lens.
Wavelength: 662nm(DVD)/785nm(CD).
Maximum output radiation power from pickup: 100µW/VDE
When the unit is turned on:
1. Do not look directly into the pick up lens.
2. Do not use optical instruments to look at the pick up lens.
3. Do not adjust the preset variable resistor on the pickup lens.
4. Do not disassemble the optical pick up unit.
5. If the optical pick up is replaced, use the manufacturer’s specified replacement pick up only.
6. Use of control or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
4 About Lead Free Solder (PbF)
Distinction of PbF PCB: PCBs (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp on the PCB.
Caution:
· Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50 - 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher.
Please use a high temperature soldering iron. In case of the soldering iron with temperature control, please set it to 700 ±
20°F (370 ± 10°C).
· Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/ 600°C).
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.

5 Handling Precautions for Traverse Unit
The laser diode in the optical pickup unit may break down due to static electricity of clothes or human body. Special care must be
taken avoid caution to electrostatic breakdown when servicing and handling the laser diode.
5.1. Cautions to Be Taken in Handling the Optical Pickup Unit
The laser diode in the optical pickup unit may be damaged due to electrostatic discharge generating from clothes or human body.
Special care must be taken avoid caution to electrostatic discharge damage when servicing the laser diode.
1. Do not give a considerable shock to the optical pickup unit as it has an extremely high-precise structure.
2. To prevent the laser diode from the electrostatic discharge damage, the flexible cable of the optical pickup unit removed should
be short-circuited with a short pin or a clip.
3. The flexible cable may be cut off if an excessive force is applied to it. Use caution when handling the flexible cable.
4. The antistatic FPC is connected to the new optical pickup unit. After replacing the optical pickup unit and connecting the flexible
cable, cut off the antistatic FPC.
5.2. Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
Some devices such as the DVD player use the optical pickup (laser diode) and the optical pickup will be damaged by static
electricity in the working environment. Proceed servicing works under the working environment where grounding works is
completed.
5.2.1. Worktable grounding
1. Put a conductive material (sheet) or iron sheet on the area where the optical pickup is placed, and ground the sheet.
5.2.2. Human body grounding
1. Use the anti-static wrist strap to discharge the static electricity form your body.

SA-HT640WPL

8.2.1. Operation
RF signal transmission and reception:
During the receive process, the radio signal is taken from a pair of balanced RF I/O pins that feed into the low noise amplifier (LNA).
Direct I/Q down conversion and on-chip filtering send the processed I/Q data to the analog-to-digital converter before processing
by the GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) demodulator. Within the demodulator, data detection and timing recovery circuits
convert the data for transfer to an external device. The transmit process operates in a similar fashion in reverse order.
The transmitted signal is GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) modulated data that is amplified on the chip to yield a radiated
output of 0dBm. A power control signal for an external amplifier is provided.
The audio baseband processor (C1BB00001102) is a digital audio processor IC encompassing apt-XTM audio
compress/decompress algorithm for wireless transmission of crystal-clear CD quality audio data.
For digital transmission the analog audio signals are sampled at 48kHz and converted to 1.536Mbps digital data through an
external 16-bit stereo audio codec. The digitized data are apt-XTM 4:1 compressed to 384Kbps stream data for efficient
transmission. Redundancy bits for forward error correction (FEC), synchronization flags, and control signals for time-division
duplexing (TDD) are appended to form data frames for error-free transmission.
In the receiver(Slave), synchronization flags and control data are first detected from the input stream. FEC decoder corrects any
errors that may have been introduced during the transmission and produces error-free compressed audio data. The compressed
audio is decompressed into 16-bit stereo PCM audio data through digital signal processing blocks. External audio codec converts
the PCM data to 2-channel (left and right) analog audio signals.
The Tx/Rx controller is in charge of several functions such as radio channel setup, frequency hopping for interference reduction and
generation of control signal for TDD and external RF chip.
In audio mode, the transmitter(Master) can send additional 16Kbps digital data simultaneously with stereo audio data.
How much time delay to transmit audio in wireless?
Audio compression and decompression requires about 3ms. Total time delay can be calculated as follows: Total delay time = audio
compression time + transmitter operating time + receiver operating time + audio decompression time. Total delay time is
approximately 12.2ms.
What is the power consumption?
The 2.4GHz RF module consumes about 45mA (max 65mA) for the transmitter and 55mA (max 71mA) for the receiver. The
EEPROM consumes about 1mA while the baseband IC consumes about 20mA. The total power consumption is 66mA (max 86mA)
for the transmitter and 76mA (max 92mA) for the receiver.
