2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or
damaged by the short circuit.
2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly
installed.
3. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
2.1.1. LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD
CHECK
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two
prongs on the plug.
2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between
the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet
part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors,
control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a
return path to the chassis, the reading should be between
1MW and 5.2MW .
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to
the chassis, the reading must be
.
2.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an
isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 1.5kW, 10 watts resistor, inparallel with a 0.15µF
capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set
and a good earth ground such as a water pipe.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more
sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the
voltage at each point.
5. Reverse the ACplug in the AC outletand repeat eachof the
above measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts
RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or
equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage
current must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case a
measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a
possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be
repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the
customer.
3 PREVENTION OF ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
TO ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE (ES) DEVICES
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typicalES 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 electro static discharge (ESD).
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your
body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap,
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 alminum
foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup 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 (ESD protected)" can
generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges 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, alminum 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
Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
7
DVD-LS912EG
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise hamless motion such asthe brushing
together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to
damage an ES device).

5 HOW TO REPLACE THE LITHIUM BATTERY
This model is using a lithium battery for the remote control ass’y.
NOTE:
The lithium battery is a critical component. ( Type No.: CR2025 Manufactured by Panasonic. )
It must never be subjected to excessive heat or discharge.
It must therefore only be fitted in equipment designed specifically for its use.
Replacement batteries must be of the same type and manufacture.
They must be fitted in the same manner and location as the original battery, with the correct polarity contacts observed.
Do not attempt to re-charge the old battery or re-use it for any other purpose.
It should be disposed of in waste products destined for burial rather than incineration.

6 Service caution based on legal restrictions
6.1. General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF)
The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this
equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.
The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin
(Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30 degrees C (86 F) more than that
of the normal solder.
Definition of PCB Lead Free Solder being used
The letter of “PbF” is printed either foil side or components side on the PCB
using the lead free solder. (See right figure)
Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)
- The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.(Definition: The letter
of "PbF" is printed on the PCB using the lead free solder.)
- To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.
- Remove the remaining lead free solder on the PCB cleanly for soldering of the new IC.
- Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the
lead free solder.
- Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350+-30
degrees C (662+-86 F).
Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)
- The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the s ervice parts route.
RFKZ03D01K-----------(0.3mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ06D01K-----------(0.6mm 100g Reel)
RFKZ10D01K-----------(1.0mm 100g Reel)
Note
* Ingredient: tin (Sn) 96.5%, silver (Ag) 3.0%, Copper (Cu) 0.5%, Cobalt (Co) / Germanium (Ge) 0.1 to 0.3%

7 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR TRAVERSE DECK
DVD-LS912EG
The laser diode in the optical pickup may break down due to
potential difference caused by static electricity of clothes or
human body.
So be careful of electrostatic break down during repair of the
optical pickup.
It has already been adjusted.
7.1. Handling of optical pickup
1. Do not subject the optical pickup to static electricity as it is
extremely sensitive to electrical shock.
2. To prevent the breakdown of the laser diode, an antistatic
shorting pin is inserted into the flexible board (FPC Board).
When removing or connecting the short pin, finish the job in
as short times as possible.
3. Be careful not toapply excessivestress to theflexible board
(FPC Board).
4. Do not turn the variable resistor (Laser power adjustment).
7.2. Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
1. Human body grounding
Use the antistatic wrist strap to discharge the static
electricity from your body.
2. Work table grounding
Put a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the area
where the optical pickup is placed and ground the sheet.
Caution
The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded
through the wrist strap. So take care not to let your
clothes touch the optical pickup.

9 SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION AND SERVICE MODE
9.1. Optical Pickup Breakdown Diagnosis
As a new feature, this unit has an “optical pick-up problem diagnosis function” and “a tilt adjustment confirmation function” built
in. Use the following procedure to efficiently determine the problem and adjust tilt.If "NO DISC" is displayed, before exchanging
the optical pick-up, carry out problem diagnosis first. If the present laser driving current is over 55, the optical pick-up may need
to be exchanged.
Note:
Carry out diagnosis within 3 minutes of turning the unit on. (The player’s current can increase as it warms up, so turn the unit
off and allow it to cool down before diagnosis.)
22
Cautions to be taken when replacing the optical pickup
The optical pickup may break down due to the static
electricity of human body. Take proper protection measures
against static electricity before repairing the parts around
the optical pickup. (See the page describing the
PREVENTION OF STATIC ELECTRICITY DISCHARGE.)
1. Do not touch the areas around the laser diode and
actuator.
2. Do not judge the laser diode with a tester. (The tester
will be damaged easily.)
3. It is recommended to use a destaticized soldering iron
