SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!
COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY MARK 0OR DOTTED LINE 
WITH MARK 0ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS AND IN 
THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL TO SAFE OPERATION.
REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS 
WHOSE PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS 
MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY.
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following 
safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, 
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check 
leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
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. Acommercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
 WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’instructions to use these
 instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC 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-operatedAC voltmeter. The “limit” indication
 is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
 scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples
 of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
 digital multimeters that have a 2VAC range are suitable. (See
