To Exposed Metal

Parts on Set

Earth Ground

LEAKAGETEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground

and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having

a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).

Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA

WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these

instruments.

2. A battery-operatedAC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245

digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a

VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-

tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-

voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-

amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery

operated digital multimeters that have a 2VAC range are suit-

able. (See Fig. A)

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-

dered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder

splashes and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are

“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transis-

tors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them

out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs

of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom-

mend their replacement.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the

replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,

screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.

Check leakage as described below.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following

safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

CAUTION:

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye

hazard.

This appliance is classified as a

CLASS 1 LASER product. The

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

MARKING is located on the rear

exterior.

This label is located on the side of

the player.

Unleaded solder

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-

free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.

(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with

the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

: LEAD FREE MARK

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.

•Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than

ordinary solder.

Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be

applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.

Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to

about 350°C.

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the

heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

•Strong viscosity

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than

ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur

such as on IC pins, etc.

•Usable with ordinary solder

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may

also be added to ordinary solder.

a movie taken on film, and a “Making of”

sequence taken on video.

•If the progressive format image becomes unclear

or unnatural when “MEMORY” is set to

viewing with “PROGRESSIVE 1” set to

“VIDEO.” If this does not improve the picture,

view the images in Interlace format through the

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (page 78), or

switch to another jack.

Adjusting the brightness of

selected areas (Gamma

Correction)

Depending on your TV or viewing

environment, images on the screen may lose

definition when a certain area of the image is

so light that it appears washed out, or so dark

that it blends into the surrounding dark areas.

By correcting the Gamma value, you can

adjust the brightness of selected areas to get a

clearer image. While the “BRIGHTNESS”

adjustment controls the brightness of the

entire image, the “GAMMA” adjustment is

useful when only some portions of the image

need adjusting.

Example: You are watching a movie that is

rich in shadows and you want to see the

hidden details of the scenery.

If you use the “BRIGHTNESS” adjustment,

the entire image will become brighter, losing

definition in the areas that were initially

bright. The “GAMMA” adjustment enables

you to select the dark part and gradually

increase its brightness without sacrificing the

overall definition.

After step 3 of “Adjusting the picture

items in MEMORY,” press X/xto

display the “GAMMA,” adjustment

bar, and press ENTER or c.
