SAFETY&PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVING
Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screw, parts and wires
have been returned to original positions. Afterwards, perform the following tests and conform the specified values in order
to verify compliance whit safety standards.
1. Insulation resistance test
Confirm the specified insulation resistance between power cord plug prong and externally exposed parts of the set
(RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.)
isgreater than values given in table 1 below.
2. Dielectric strengthen test
Confirm specified dielectric strengthen between power cord plug prongs and exposed accessible parts of the set
(RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input output terminals, microphone jack, ear phone jacks, etc.)
is greater than values given table 1.
3. Clearance distance
When replacing primary circuit component, confirm specified
clearance distance (d), (d’) between soldered terminals,
and between terminals and surrounding metallic parts. See
table below.
Rating for selected areas
* : Class II model only
NOTE : This table is unofficial and for reference only. Be sure to confirm the precise values for your particular country and locality
4. Leakage current test
Confirm specified or lower leakage current between B(earth ground, power cord plug prongs) and externally exposed acces-
sibleparts(RFterminals,antennaterminals,videoandaudioinputoutputterminals,microphonejacks,earphonejacks,etc.)
Measuring method:(Power ON) Insert load Z between B(earth
ground, power cord plug prongs) and exposed accessible parts.
UseonAC voltmeter to measure across bothterminalsofload Z.
See figure2 and following table.

IDENTIFICATION AND OPERATION OF CONTROLS
1Casette compartment
2 Power key
When the power is supplied for the set, the power indi-
cator lamp will always light up in red.
The Power ON and Power OFF mode will be toggled by
pressing this key.
When the POWER is switched on, the power lamp will
light up in red and the other keys will light up in green.
3Stop/Eject key
Press this key to stop tape and once more to eject tape.
4Rewind/Review key
If this key is pressed in the PLAYBACK mode, the VCP
enters the reverse picture search mode. If pressed in
STOP mode, then the tape will rewind at high speed.
The REW indicator lamp will light up in orange.
5PLAY key
Pressthis keytoplaybackarecordedtape,ortorelease
special operations such as the search modes.
Intheplaybackmodethe playbackindicatorlamp willbe
lightin orange,andinAuto Trackingmode,thisindicator
lamp will blink.
6Fast Forward/ Cue key
If this key is pressed in the PLAYBACK mode, the VCP
enters the forward picture search mode. If pressed in
STOP mode, then the tape will fast forward at high
speed.
The FF indicator lamp will light up in orange.
7Cassette-In lamp
Whenthecassette is inserted, the CST-INlampwilllight
up in red.
8DEW lamp
This indicator will flash (if power is on) to indicate exces-
sive moisture has been inside of VCP. This unit will not
operate until it dries out sufficiently (the tape can be
ejected from the unit). When DEW mode has been acti-
vated, leave the unit on to allow it to dry out completely.
9Hi-Fi Lamps
In the Hi-Fi output mode, these lamps will light up in
green.
