1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
There are special components used in this equipment which are
important for safety. These parts are marked by in the Schematic
Diagrams, Circuit Board Layout, Exploded Views and Replacement
Parts List. It is essential that these criticalparts should be replaced
with manufacturerís specified parts to prevent shock, fire or other
hazards. Do not modify the original design without permission of
manufacturer.
2. An Isolation Transformer should always be used during the servicing
of VCR whose chassis is not isolated from the AC power line. Use a
transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician
from accidents resulting in personalinjury from electrical shocks. It
will also protect VCR from being damaged by accidental shorting that
may occur during servicing.
3. 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.
4. After servicing, see to it that 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.
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
2

equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When
the exposed metallic part has a return path to thechassis, the reading
should be between 1 M and 5.2 M . When the exposed metal does
not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinity.
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 1.5 k , 10 W resistor, in parallel with a 0.15 F capacitor,
between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth
ground, as shown in figure 1.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1 k /V 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 V 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
mA. In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a
possibility of a shock hazard, andthe equipment should be repaired
and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

2. PREVENTION OF ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) TO ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE (ES)
DEVICES
3

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, some field-effect transistorsand 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, whichshould
remove electrostatic charge 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 antistatic solder removal device. Some solder removal
devices not classified as "antistatic (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 comparableconductive 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).
“NOTE toCATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installerís attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC
4

that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding systemof the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.”
3. ABOUT LEAD FREE SOLDER (PbF)
Distinction of PbF PCB:
PCBs (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp or printing on the PCB.
(Please refer to figures.)
CAUTION:
- Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder;
Typically the melting point is 50°F - 70°F (30°C - 40°C) higher.
Please use a soldering iron with temperature control and adjust it to
700°F ± 20°F (370°C ± 10°C).
In case of using high temperature soldering iron, please be carefull not
to heat too long.
- Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/
600°C).
- All products with the printed circuit board with PbF stamp or printing
must be serviced with lead free solder.
When soldering or unsoldering, completely remove all of the solder
from the pins or solder area, and be sure to heat the soldering points
with the lead free solder until it melts sufficiently.
Recommendations
Recommended lead free solder composition is Sn96.5 Ag3.0 Cu0.5.
