SAFETY CHECK-OUT
(US Model only)
After correcting the original service problem,
perform the following safety checks before releasing
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, par-
ticularly transistors, that were installed during
a previous repair. Point them out to the cus-
tomer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show
obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out
to the customer and recommend their replace-
ment.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion.
Recommend the replacement of any such line
cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are at the
values specified. Make sure your instruments
are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if
sets always have low HV.
8. Check the metal trim, metallized knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts
for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
To Exposed Metal
Parts on Set
AC
== voltmeter
(0.75V)
= Earth Ground
Fig. A. Using an AC voltmeter to check AC leakage.
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 0.5mA (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
manufactures’ instructions to use these instru-
ments.
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-operated AC volt-
meter. 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 cold-
water pipe with an ohmmeter. 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 receptacle and the
retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate
the hot side of the line, the lamp should light at
normal brilliance if the screw is at ground potential.

« If more than one code number is listed, try entering them one

* In some rare cases, you may not be able to operate your non-
Sony video equipment with the supplied remote commander.
This is because your equipment may use a code that is not
included with this remote commander. In this case, please use
the equipment’s own remote control unit.
The code numbers for Sony equipment are assigned at the
factory as follows.
VHS VCR 301 (preset code for the supplied
remote commander)
8mm VCR 302
Beta, ED Beta VCRs 303
Whenever you remove the batteries — to replace them, for
example — if too much time is taken, the code number may
revert to the factory setting and must be reset.
