Warnings and Laser safety instructions

2. Warnings and Laser safety instructions

WARNING

All ICs and many other semi-conductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the same potential as the mass of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this potential.

ATTENTION

WARNUNG

GB 3DVD612 /XX1 2.

WAARSCHUWING

AVVERTIMENTO

Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor elektrostatische ontladingen (ESD). Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen. Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat. Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal.

Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semiconducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD). Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est prise a leur manipulation. Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de sécurité. Veiller a ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que l’on utilise soient également a ce potentiel.

Alle IC und viele andere Halbleiter sind empfindlich gegen elektrostatische Entladungen (ESD). Unsorgfältige Behandlung bei der Reparatur kann die Lebensdauer drastisch vermindern. Sorgen sie dafür, das Sie im Reparaturfall über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand mit dem Massepotential des Gerätes verbunden sind. Halten Sie Bauteile und Hilfsmittel ebenfalls auf diesem Potential.

Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original condition and that parts which are identical with those specified be used.

Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat in zijn oorspronkelijke toestand wordt terug gebracht en dat onderdelen, identiek aan de gespecifieerde worden toegepast.

Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis a l’état d’origine et que soient utilisées les pièces de rechange identiques à celles spécifiées.

Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD). La loro longevita potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta in caso di non osservazione della piu grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione. Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto a resistenza. Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.

Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu beachten. Der Originalzustand des Gerats darf nicht verandert werden. Fur Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.

Le norme di sicurezza esigono che l’apparecchio venga rimesso nelle condizioni originali e che siano utilizzati pezzi di ricambiago idetici a quelli specificati.

SHOCK, FIRE HAZARD SERVICE TEST: CAUTION: After servicing this appliance and prior to returning to customer, measure the resistance between

either primary AC cord connector pins (with unit NOT connected to AC mains and its Power switch ON), and the face or Front Panel of product and controls and chassis bottom, Any resistance measurement less than 1 Megohms should cause unit to be repaired or corrected before AC power is applied, and verified before return to user/customer. Ref.UL Standard NO.1492.

NOTE ON SAFETY:

Symbol

: Fire or electrical shock hazard. Only original parts should be used to replace any part with symbol

Any other component substitution(other than original type), may increase risk or fire or electrical shock hazard.

Warnings and Laser safety instructions

LASER SAFETY

This unit employs a laser. Only a qualified service person should remove the cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.

LASER DEVICE UNIT

Type: Semiconductor laser GaAlAs Wave length: 650 nm (DVD)

780 nm (VCD/CD)

Output Power: 7 mW (DVD)

10 mW (VCD/CD)

Beam divergence: 60 degree

USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURE OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO BEAM

WARNING

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Repair handling should take place as much as possible with a disc loaded inside the player

Warning for powersupply on position 1005

The primary side of the powersupply including the heatsink carries live mains voltage when the player is connected to the mains even when the player is swiched off !

This primary area is not shielded so it is possible to touch copper tracks and/or components when servicing the player. Ser vice personnel have to take precautions to prevent touching this area or components in this area . The primary side of the powersupply has been indicated with a lightning stroke and a stripe-marked printed on the printed wiring board

2.1 Notes

2.1.1 DVD-Module

For repair of the DVD-module ASD1, the service manual 3122 785 10840 has to be used.

2.1.2 Compair

For assistance with the repair process of the monoboard an electronic Fault finding guidance has been developed , this program is called COMPAIR. This COMPAIR program is available on CDROM. The Version of the CDROM for repair of the monoboard is V1.3 and can be ordered with codenumber : 4822 727 21637. This is an update CDROM , so when the COMPAIR CDROM is used for the first time , one has to install the COMPAIR ENGINE CDROM V1.2 first. The V1.2 CDROM can be ordered with codenumber 4822 727 634 and has to registered after installation , the procedure for registration is explained in the help file of the program and in the booklet from the CDROM. The cable to connect the monoboard with a PC can be ordered with codenumber 3122 785 90017. All the hardware and software requirements of the systems necessary for working with COMPAIR is described on the CDROM.

översjruder gränsen för läserklass 1.

Observera!

Strömbrytaren POWER är sekundärt kopplad och inte bryter

strömmen fråan nätet Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför ansluten till

elnätet så länge stickproppen sitter i v ägguttaget.

Observer:

Nettbryteren POWER er sekundert innkoplet. Den

innebygdenetdelen er derfor ikke frakoplet nettet så lenge apparatet

er tilsluttet nettkontakten.

Important Note for Users in the UK

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To

change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should

be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5

Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used,the fuse at the

distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible

shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket

elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following

code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour

markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as

follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or

coloured black.

• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L

or coloured red.

• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in

the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green

(or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip

is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the

two wires.
