Safety Information, General Notes

2. Safety Information, General Notes

EN 5DVDR730/0x 2.

2.1 Description of the Production Number on the type plate

The type plate of the set contains a production number that consists of the following:

Example code

2.1.1 The Site Code (Production center)

The site code consists of 2 letters and relates to the factory assembling and/or equipping the products. The site code letters valid for Consumer Electronics are stated in UAT-0477. The code is used to trace the production site of the model number, e.g. VN...Szekesfehervar KB...Hasselt KT...SBI Electronics Shenzhen

2.1.2 BOM Code

The BOM code is used to link the model to the actual Bill Of Material used for assembly during set production. One set model can be made up of different standard designs / modules. This depends on the material availability in the production or the development progress of the successor modules. Different modules may be used during the same production period or changed back and forth from one week to the other. BOM version 1 gets BOM code 1, BOM version 2 gets BOM code 2, etc. Allowed codes are 1-9, A-Z.

2.1.3 Service Version Change Code

The service version change code, which has to be recognizable for service and production departments, is used to indicate a production change that is considered as a major change affecting the “serviceability” of the product. A major change is occurring when a safety component is changed or when the servicer needs additional information to repair the set. E.g. when the software is changed or when an IC and its peripheral circuit are changed. Allowed characters are (A-Z, 0-

9) to be used in the following sequence: A-Z followed by 0-9.

2.1.4 Production year/week code

Indicates the actual week of set assembly. Made up of the last two digits of year plus production week.

2.1.5 Serial number

Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return the unit in its original condition. Pay, in particular, attention to the following points:

• Route the wires/cables correctly, and fix them with the mounted cable clamps.

• Check the insulation of the mains lead for external damage.

• Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and the secondary side:

1. Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between

the two pins of the mains plug.

2. Set the mains switch to the 'on' position (keep the

mains cord unplugged!).

3. Measure the resistance value between the mains plug

and the front panel, controls, and chassis bottom.

4. Repair or correct unit when the resistance

measurement is less than 1 MΩ.

5. Verify this, before you return the unit to the customer/

user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).

6. Switch the unit ‘off’, and remove the wire between the

two pins of the mains plug.

2.2.2 Laser Safety

This unit employs a laser. Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover, or attempt to service this device (due to possible eye injury).

2.2 Safety Instructions

2.2.1 General Safety

Safety regulations require that during a repair:

• Connect the unit to the mains via an isolation transformer.

• Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol , only by components identical to the original ones. Any other component substitution (other than original type) may increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.

2.3 Warnings

2.3.1 General

• All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD, ). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that, during repair, you are at the same potential as the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components and tools at this same potential. Available ESD protection equipment: – Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,

connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822 310 10671.

EN 6 DVDR730/0x2.

Safety Information, General Notes

– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.

• Be careful during measurements in the live voltage section. The primary side of the power supply (pos. 1005), including the heatsink, carries live mains voltage when you connect the player to the mains (even when the player is 'off'!). It is possible to touch copper tracks and/or components in this unshielded primary area, when you service the player. Service personnel must take precautions to prevent touching this area or components in this area. A 'lightning stroke' and a stripe-marked printing on the printed wiring board, indicate the primary side of the power supply.

• Never replace modules, or components, while the unit is ‘on’.

2.3.2 Laser

• The use of optical instruments with this product, will increase eye hazard.

• Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.

• Repair handling should take place as much as possible with a disc loaded inside the player.

• Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover shield:

Connection with video (CVBS) cable

This cable, usually with yellow Cinch connectors, is used for

transmitting the Composite Video signal (FBAS, CVBS). In this method

of transmission the colour signal and the brightness signal are

transmitted on the same cable. In certain circumstances, this can lead

to slight problems with the picture, such as 'Moiré' patterns.

Connection with the aerial cable only

To connect this DVD-Recorder to a TV set without external

Audio/Video input sockets, you need a modulator. With the modulator

the audio/video signal is converted in an UHF-channel. This signal can

be received and stored on the TV as a TV-station.

Connecting to the TV

Connecting the DVD recorder

If the function Easy Link is not supported from your TV set, choose

from the following connection methods:

Connection with scart cable

Connection with Svideocable

Connection with Video (CVBS) cable

Connection with the aerial cable only

Connection with scart cable

The scart or Euro AV cable serves as the universal connector for

picture, sound and control signals. With this type of connection, there

is practically no loss of quality in picture or sound transmission.

1 Plug a scart cable into the scart socket EXT1 TO TV-I/O at the
