

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and

semiconductor "chip" components.

The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on

your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively , obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device,

which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to

prevent electrostatic charge build-up or exposure of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges

sufficient to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical change sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement

ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material.)

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the

chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.

CAUTION :

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together

or your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES devices.

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

Each precaution in this manual should be followed during servicing.

Components identified with the IEC symbol in the parts list are special significance to safety. When replacing a component identified with

, use only the replacement parts designated, or parts with the same ratings or resistance, wattage, or voltage that are designated in the

parts list in this manual. Leakage-current or resistance measurements must be made to determine that exposed parts are acceptably

insulated from the supply circuit before retuming the product to the customer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.

LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK

Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester between the earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V AC 60Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any current measured must not exceed o.5mA.

Reading should not be above

0.5mA Device under test

Leakage current tester



Test all exposed metal surfaces

Also test with plug reversed (Using AC adapter plug as required)

Earth ground

AC Leakage Test

ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.

Troubleshooting

Problems Solutions

The system does not power up (the Power indicator is not lit) • Check whether the system’s Power cord is properly plugged into the

system’s AC Power connector.

• Check that the Power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is set in the ON position.

• Check that the system’s main power switch (located on the rear panel) is in ON position.

Sound plays through the speakers, but there is no TV picture • Check the HDMI connection between the system and the TV.

• Check the HDMI connection or Component Video connection between the source device and the BDS system.

• Check that the TV is turned on and is set to the proper input source.

• Unplug the HDMI cable from the TV and plug it back in again.

There is no sound coming from just the subwoofer • Check that the subwoofer’s Power cord is plugged into a working AC

outlet.

• Check that the subwoofer’s power switch is in the ON position.

• Check that the Subwoofer Level control is not turned all the way down (fully counter clockwise).

• Check that the audio connection between the system and the subwoofer has been properly made.

• Check the system’s Settings: Conguration menu to make sure that the subwoofer volume has not been set at 10dB.

There is a constant hum in the sound • Check that all input cables are plugged all the way into their connectors.

• Check that all cables are at least 10 ft (3.3m) from uorescent lights.

• Check that all cable connectors are clean. If necessary, wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

• Set the subwoofer’s power switch to OFF. If the hum goes away, there is a ground loop between the subwoofer and the system. Plugging the subwoofer’s power cord into the same AC outlet that the system is plugged into should eliminate the ground loop.
