NOTE ON REPAIR WORK SAFETY
Follow the instructions below, both to prevent accidents when making repairs and to ensure post-repair product
safety.
Do not apply voltages other than those specifi ed for the equipment or its components.
Applying voltages other than the rated voltage could cause electrical breakdown or over-current, possibly resulting
in electric shock or fire.
Use specified parts and components.
Be sure to use only specified parts when replacing parts indicated by the mark in the circuit diagram or parts list.
Because such parts have been designed for safety in terms of their incombustibility and dielectric strength, using
parts other than those specified could result in a fi re.
After replacing parts, be sure to return the new parts and any other affected parts to their
previous configuration.
After using insulators like tubing and tape, reinstalling floating parts on the printed circuit board, or replacing parts
mounted behind the circuit board, be sure to restore all parts and pieces to their original mounting positions. In many
cases, such parts have been installed in such a way as to prevent excessive heat build-up, and failing to restore
them to such positioning may create a fi re hazard.
Check that all screws, parts, and wiring removed or changed during servicing have been restored to their original
states. Also, confirm that no damage has occurred around the serviced area.
Restore changed wiring to its original state.
Internal wiring has been laid out to prevent wires from passing too close to parts that generate a lot of heat or that
carry high voltages. Therefore, if wiring has been re-routed, clamped, or otherwise altered during servicing, be sure
to restore the wiring to its original state once servicing is completed. Leaving internal wiring too close to such hot or
high-voltage parts could result in noise, electric shock, or fi re.
Do not modify the design of circuit boards or other electronic elements.
Modifying circuit boards could cause electric shock or result in a fi re hazard due to excessive heat buildup.
User modification automatically exempts the manufacturer from all personal and property liability caused by such
modification, and the user who carried out such modification shall be solely responsible for such accidents.
Conduct safety inspections following the completion of service.
1. Check that all screws, parts, and wiring removed or changed during servicing have been restored to their original
states. Also, confirm that no damage has occurred around the serviced area.
2. If parts from the power supply's primary side have been replaced, make sure that at least 3 millimeters of space
has been left between the terminals or soldered portions of the primary side's live charging section and peripheral
metal parts.
3. After servicing the power supply section, perform the following insulation safety check.
(1) Remove the power plug from an AC wall outlet.
(2) Disconnect all connections to the antenna and external equipment, then turn on the power switch.
(3) Using a 500-volt megohmmeter, check that the insulation resistance value between each of the power plug's
terminals and external exposed metal sections (video input/output terminals, audio input/output terminals, etc.) is
10 MΩ or more.
(4) If the insulation resistance value is less than 10 MΩ, check again to see if the replaced parts have been
mounted correctly and also if contacts or soldering have been established correctly.
Hazardous voltages are present inside the equipment. When replacing the pc board assemblies
or parts, be sure to disconnect the power cord to avoid electric shock that could result from
accidental contact with these parts.
When measuring the test point voltages, be sure to wear protective gloves.
