1 Caution for AC Mains Lead

2 Use of Active Subwoofer

2.1. Checking Main Unit when Active Subwoofer is Used

SA-HT530EB

2.2. Checking Main Unit Using Power Jig

If the active subwoofer is not available during time of repair to the unit, the following equipment could be used.

Jig product number

RFKZ0182 (110V , 127V, 220V, 230V - 240V for with voltage selector overseas domestic use).

3 Before Repair and Adjustment

Disconnect AC power, discharge Power Supply Capacitors C2080 through a 10 Ω, 10 W resistor to ground.

DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices.

After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent.

Current consumption at AC 230V-240V, 50Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be ~850 mA (Active Subwoofer).

4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4.1. 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, ensure 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.

4.1.1. LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK (FOR ACTIVE SUBWOOFER)

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 1MΩ and 5.2Ω. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be

Fig. 1

SA-HT530EB

4.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See Figure 1.)

1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.

2. Connect a 1.5kΩ, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15µF capacitor, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1.

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 AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of 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.

5 Handling the Lead Solder

5.1. About lead free solder (PbF)

Distinction of PbF P.C.B. :

P.C.B.s (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a PbF stamp on the P.C.B.

Caution:

· Pb free solder has a higher melting point that standard solder; Typically the melting point is 50 - 70°F (30 - 40°C) higher. Please use a high temperature soldering iron. In case of the soldering iron with temperature control, please set it to 700 ± 20°F (370 ± 10°C).

· Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100°F/600°C).

· When soldering or unsoldering, please completely remove all of the solder on the pins or solder area, and be sure to heat the

soldering points with the Pb free solder until it melts enough.

6 Protection Circuitry

The protection circuitry may have operated if either of the following conditions are noticed:

· No sound is heard when the power is turned on.

· Sound stops during a performance.

The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connection wires are

“shorted”, or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used.

If this occurs, follow the procedure outlines below:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.

3. Turn on the power once again after one minute.

Note :

When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first turned off and then on again.

7 Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by 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 electro static discharge (ESD).

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equiped 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 equiped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminium 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 remover device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static (ESD protected)” can generate electrical charge 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, aluminium 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.

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

8 Cautions to Be Taken When Handling Optical Pickup

· The laser diode used inside the optical pickup could be destroyed due to static electricity (potential difference is caused by electrostatic load discharged from clothes and human body). Handle the parts carefully to avoid electrostatic destruction during repair & during replacement.

8.1. Handling Optical Pickup

1. Do not cause any strong impact on optical pickup as the unit structurally uses an extremely precise technology.

2. Short-circuit the flexible cable of optical pickup removed from the circuit board using a short-circuit pin or clip in order to prevent laser diode from electrostatic destruction. (Refer to Fig. 8-1 and Fig. 8-2.)

3. Do not handle flexible cables forcibly as this may cause snapping. Handle the parts carefully. (Refer to Fig. 8-1)

4. A new optical pickup is equipped with an anti-static flexible cable. After replacing and connecting to the flexible board, cut the anti-static flexible cable. (Refer to Fig. 8-1)

Fig. 8-1

Fig. 8-2

SA-HT530EB

8.2. Cautions to Be Taken During Replacement of Optical Pickup

Supplied optical pickup is equipped with a short clip found at the end of flexible cable in order to prevent electrostatic destruction of laser diode. Before connection, remove the short clip, and check that the short land is opened (remove solder if the part is shortcircuited). Also ensure human body is properly ground (Refer Section 8.3)

8.3. Grounding for Preventing Electrostatic Destruction

1. Human body grounding

Use an anti-static wrist strap to release static electricity accumulated in your body. (Refer to Fig. 8-3)

2. Workplace grounding

Place a conductive material (conductive sheet) or iron board where optical pickup is placed. (Refer to Fig. 8-3)

Note:

Keep your clothes away from optical pickup as wrist strap does not release the static electricity charged in clothes.
