To Exposed Metal

Parts on Set

Earth Ground

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. 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:

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.

appliance is classified as a

CLASS 1 LASER product. The

Precautions

•The power requirements and power

consumption of this player are indicated on

the back of the player. Check that the

player’s operating voltage is identical with

your local power supply.

On safety

•Caution – The use of optical instruments

with this product will increase eye hazard.

•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not

place objects filled with liquids, such as

vases, on the apparatus.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into

the cabinet, unplug the player and have it

checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

On power sources

•The player is not disconnected from the AC

power source as long as it is connected to

the wall outlet, even if the player itself has

been turned off.

•If you are not going to use the player for a

long time, be sure to disconnect the player

from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC

power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull

the cord.

•Should the AC power cord need to be

changed, have it done at a qualified service

shop only.

On placement

•Place the player in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the

player.

•Do not place the player on a soft surface

such as a rug that might block the

ventilation holes.

Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good

channel separation is realized because all of

the channel data are recorded discretely and

little deterioration is realized because all

channel data processing is digital.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 21)

Audio signal processing technology that

Dolby Laboratories developed for surround

sound. When the input signal contains a

surround component, the Pro Logic process

outputs the front, center and rear signals. The

rear channel is monaural.

DTS (page 22, 54)

Digital audio compression technology that

DigitalTheaterSystems, Inc. developed. This

technologyconformsto 5.1-channel surround

sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is

a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.

DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels

of high quality digital audio.

channel data processing is digital.

DVD (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving

pictures even though its diameter is the same

as a CD.

The data capacity of a single-layer and single-

sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7

times that of a CD. The data capacity of a

double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5

GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is

9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided

DVD is 17GB.

Thepicture data uses theMPEG 2 format, one

of the worldwide standards of digital

compression technology. The picture data is

compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its

original size. The DVD also uses a variable

rate coding technology that changes the data

to be allocated according to the status of the

picture. Audio information is recorded in a

multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,

allowing you to enjoy a more real audio

presence.

Furthermore, various advanced functions

such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and

Parental Control functions are provided with

the DVD.

DVD-RW (page 6)
