SAFETY CHECK-OUT
(US Model only)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before relasing the set to the customer
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly
soldered 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. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps,
and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4 Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly
transistors, that were installed during a previous repair Point
them out to the customer and recommned their replacement
5 Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement
6. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer
7. Check the condition of the monopole antenna (if any).
Make sure the end is not broken off and has the plastic cap on
it.
Point out the danger of impalement on a broken antenna to
the customer, and recommend the antenna's replacement.
8. Check the B+ and HV to see they are at the values specified .
Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of
your HV meter if sets always have low HV
9. 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 parts to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal parts
having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA(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 resistory by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter The “limit” indication
is 0 75V, 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 2V
AC range are suitable (See Fig A)
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is guaranteed earth ground, the cover plate
retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground
If the retaining screw is to be used as your earth ground, verify
that it is at ground by measuring the resistance between it and a
coldwater pipe with an ohmmeter. The reading should be zero
ohms. If a cold-water pipe is not accessible The reading should
be zero ohms. If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a
60-100 watts trouble light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side
of the line, the lamp shojuld light at normal brilliance if the screw
is a ground potential (See Fig. B)

1-2. CONNECTING TV ANTENNA/CABLE
Although you can use either an indoor or outdoor antenna with the VIDEO TV, an outdoor antenna will provide you with better
picture quality. You can receive cable TV by connecting a cable supplied by your local cable company.
Connecting VHF, UHF or VHF/UHF Combination Antenna, or CATV Cable
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
Check your antenna cable type and prepare the end of
the cable using the 300-ohm twin-lead cable.
Check your antenna cable type and prepare the end of
the cable using the F-type connector.
Attach the supplied antenna connector.

To record on a cassette with the safety tab broken off, simply cover the tab hole

Adhesive tape
Maximum recording time of a tape
The quality of tape you use greatly affects record/playback quality and the life of the
VIDEO TV. Use only cassette tapes that have the official VHS logo.
High-grade tapes give the best results, especially at the EP speed. They also have
a better oxide coating that helps prevent dirty video heads. Although T-160 tapes
offer the longest recording time, they contain thinner tape that 1s more likely to
stretch or cause tape jams. We suggest that you use T-120 or shorter tapes.
Recording in the SP or EP mode ts possible with this unit. When recording, select
the desired recording mode (SP or EP) with TAPE SPEED on the Commander.
During playback, the unit automatically detects the recording format, and then plays
back the tape in the appropriate mode.
The following chart shows the maximum recording times for T-60, T-120 and T-160
tapes at the recording speeds as below.
T-120
1 Hour 2 Hours 2 2/3 Hours
(60 Minutes) (120 Minutes) (160 Minutes)
3 Hours 6 Hours 8 Hours
EP (180 Minutes) (360 Minutes) (480 Minutes)
Playing back a video tape in the LP mode !s possible but recording tn this mode 1s
not possible with this unit.
