SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The desig n of this product c ontains speci al hardware, m any
circuits and components specially for safety purposes. For
continued protection, no changes should be made to the
original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer.
Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the
original circuits. Service should be performed by qualified
personn el only.
2. Alter ati ons of the design or cir c ui try of th e products shoul d n ot
be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the
manufacturer's warranty and will further relieve the
manufacturer of r esponsibility for personal injury or property
damage resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have
special safety-related characteristics. These characterist ics are
often not evi dent from vis ual insp ection nor c an the pr otecti on
afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using
replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
charact erist ics are identif ied in the p arts lis t of Servic e m anual.
Electric al co mp on ents h av ing su ch f eatur es ar e id ent ifi ed
by shading on t he schem atic s an d by (

) on th e p ar ts li st
in Service manual.
The use of a substitute replacement which
does not have the same safety characteristics as the
recommended replacement part shown in the parts list of
Servi ce manua l may cau se shock , fire, or oth e r haz a rd s.
4.
Use isolat io n tra nsformer wh en hot chassi s.
The chassis and an y sub- chass is c ontain ed in som e prod ucts
ar e con nect ed t o on e sid e of th e AC p owe r lin e. An is olat ion
transf ormer of adequate cap acity should be ins erted between
the produc t and the AC power supp ly point while perf orming
any service on some products when the HOT chassis is
exposed.
5.
Don't short b etween the LIVE s ide groun d and IS OLATE D
(NEUTRAL) side ground or EARTH side ground when
repairing.
Some model's power circuit is partly different in the GND. The
differenc e of t he GN D is shown by t he LI VE : (") side GND,
the ISOLATED(NEU TRAL) : (#) sid e GND an d EARTH : ($)
side GND. Don't short between the LIVE side GND and
ISOLATED(NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND and
never meas ure with a meas uring app aratus (oscill osc ope etc.)
the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED(NEUTRAL) side GN D or
EARTH side GND at the same time.
If above note will not be kept, a fuse or any parts will be broken.
6. If any repair has been made to the chassis, it is recommended
that the B1 setting should be checked or adjusted (See
ADJUSTMENT OF B1 POWER SUPPLY).
7. The high vol t ag e applied to t h e pic tu re tube must c onf or m wit h
that specif ied in Service manu al. E xcessive high voltage can
cause an increase in X-Ray emission, arcing and possible
component damage, therefor e oper ation under excess ive high
voltag e conditi ons sh ould b e kept to a minimu m, or should b e
prevented. If severe arcing occurs, remove the AC power
immediately and determine the cause by visual inspection
(incorrec t inst allati on, crac ked or melt ed high volt age har ness,
poor sold ering, etc.). T o maint ain the proper min imum l evel of
soft X-Ra y emiss ion, comp onents i n the high voltag e circuit ry
includin g the pic ture tu be must be the exact r eplacem ents or
alternatives approved by the manufacturer of the complete
product.
8. Do not check high voltage by drawing an arc. Use a high
voltag e meter or a high vol tag e prob e wit h a VTVM. Disc harg e
the picture tube before attempting meter connection, by
connecti ng a cl ip lead to th e gr ound fr am e and c onnect ing t h e
other end of the lead through a 10kΩ 2W resistor to the anode
button.
9. When service is required, observe the original lead dress.
Extra pr ecauti on shou ld be gi ven to assure c orrect l ead dr ess
in the high voltage circuit area. Where a short circuit has
occurred, those components that indicate evidence of
overheating should be replaced. Always use the
manufacturer's replacement components.
10.
Isolation Check
(Safety for Electrical Shock Hazard)
After r e- assembling t he product, always perf orm an isol ation
check on the exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antenna
terminals, video/audio input and output terminals, Control
knobs, metal cabinet, screwheads, earphone jack, control
shafts , etc.) to b e sure th e produc t is saf e to oper ate with out
danger of el ectrical shock.
(1)
Dielectr i c St rength Test
The isolation between the AC primary circuit and all metal parts
exposed to the user, particularly any exposed metal part having
a return path to the chassis should withstand a voltage of
1100V AC (r.m.s.) for a period of one second.
(. . . . Withstand a voltage of 1100V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance
rated up to 120V , an d 3000V AC (r. m.s.) to an ap pli anc e rat ed
200V or more, f or a peri od of one secon d.)
This method of test requires a test equipment not generally
found in the service trade.
(2)
Leakage Current Check
Plug th e AC lin e c ord dir ect ly into th e AC ou tl et ( do not us e a
line isolat i on transformer dur in g this chec k .) . U s i ng a " L eak ag e
Current Tester", measure the leakage current from each
exposed metal part of the cabinet, particularly any exposed
metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good
earth gr ound ( water pi pe, etc.) . An y leak age c urrent must n ot
exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.2mA AC
(r.m.s.).
""""
Alternate Check Method
Plug th e AC lin e c ord dir ect ly into th e AC ou tl et ( do not us e a
line isolation transformer during this check.). Use an AC
voltmeter having 1000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the
following manner. Connect a 1500Ω 10W resistor paralleled
by a 0.15μF AC-type capacitor between an exposed metal
part and a known good earth ground (water pipe, etc.).
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC
voltm eter. Move th e r es is tor conn ect i on t o eac h e xp os ed metal
part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to
the chassis , and meas ure the AC voltage acr oss the r esistor.
Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each
measur ement. A ny volt age meas ur ed mus t not exc eed 0.75V
AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.3V AC
(r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.2mA AC (r.m.s.).
