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.
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 re-
turn to chassis, must not exceed 0.5mA (500 microampers).
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-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 0.75V,
so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale. The
Simpson250 and Sanwa SH-63Trdare examplesof apassiveVOM
that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that
have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

TEST MODE
DISPLAY / KEY TEST MODE
Press the ENTER/NEXT and FUNCTION buttons simultaneously.
Then press the MENU 1 button with the following 4 seconds to set the Test Mode.
1. The message “W3 NA (destination) ” appears on the screen and a 32 cycle square wave of the subcrystal oscillator is output from Pin 24
(AUB. OUT).
2. Press any key to rotate JOG and all FL indicators light up.
When you rotate JOG at this point, the display changes as follows.
Nall FL indicators on Nn FL pattern 1 Nn FL pattern 2 n
The changes and all LED indicators light up.
3. Again press any key to set the key count check. The following display appears.
000
The numbers in order from left to right show ; the number of keys pressed, the JOG count (1 click per 4 counts), and the VOL count.
(1 cycle is a count of 96.)
4. Press the Power button to reset to the factory settings.
AMPTEST MODE
Press the ENTER/NEXT and FUNCTION buttons simultaneously.
Then press the MENU 2 button with the following 4 seconds to set the Test Mode.
1. The message “AMP TEST” appears on the screen. Press the MENU button to call up the Equalizer Curve for the Amp Test.
However when the function is set to the tuner, use the MENU button to call up each tuner preset from 1 through 5.
2. Press the Power button to reset to the factory settings.
MICROCOMPUTER COLD START
Press the ENTER/NEXT and FUNCTION buttons simultaneously.
Then press the MENU 3 button with the following 4 seconds to reset the microcomputer to the factory settings.
SUBCRYSTAL TEST MODE
Press the ENTER/NEXT and FUNCTION buttons simultaneously.
Then press the MENU 4 button with the following 4 seconds.
The message “XTAL TEST ” appears on the screen and a 32 cycle square wave of the subcrystal oscillator is output from Pin 24 (AUB.OUT).
In addition, a square wave of the same frequency as the subcrystal oscillator, is output from 4PIN (POWER. ON/OFF).
Press the Power button to reset to the factory settings.
