SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below.

To Exposed Metal Parts on Set

0.15 µF

1.5 k

Ω

voltmeter (0.75 V)

LEAKAGE TEST

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.

1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA

WT -540A. Follow the manuf acturers' instructions to use these instruments.

2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245

digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a

VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63T rd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V A C range ar e suitable. (See Fig. A)

CAUTION:

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye hazard.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Unleaded solder

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

: LEAD FREE MARK

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.

• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40°C higher than

ordinary solder. Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350°C. Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

• Strong viscosity

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky , less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc.

• Usable with ordinary solder

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.

Notes

•Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/ CD-RWs

Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, or CD-Rs/ CD-RWs cannot be played on this player due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The DVD disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback.

•Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection techno logies are being marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be pl ayable by this product.

•Note on D ualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

•Note about double-layer DVDs

The playback pictures and sound may be momentar ily interrupted when the layers switch.

About playback of discs recorded in AVCHD format

This player can play AVCHD format discs.

What is the AVCHD format?

The AVCHD format is a high definition digital video camera format used to record SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification*

or the 720p

specification*

on DVDs, using efficient data compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is ad opted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

“AVCHD” and the AVCHD logo are t rademarks of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.

A high definition specification which utilizes 108 0 effective scanning lines and the interlace system.

A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effectiv e scanning lines and the progressive system.

Notes

•Some AVC HD format discs may not play, depending on the recording

condition.

•The AVCHD for mat disc will not play if it has not been correctly

finalized.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) digital interface

When connected to an HDMI-equipped display device using a single HDMI cord, the player can output both SD to HD video and multi-channel audio signals, in digital form without degradation. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy pr otection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

Library function for recorded files (For JPEG image, MP3 audio, MPEG-2 PS movie files only)

With DATA DVDs created on other DVD devices, three separate movie/music/photo Title List-browsers allow for easy sorting, searching and playback including a slideshow.

BD-ROM playback

BD-ROM is a next generation optical disc format in the HD era. Featuring massive storage capa city of 25 to 50 GB (five times larger than a DVD) and a high-speed transfer rate of up to 54 Mbps, the format offers not only uncompromised HD quality video* and HD quality audio up to 8ch, and interactive operability.

*1A compatible HD display device is necessary to enjoy the same

quality.

Some discs allow viewing only with an HDMI connection.

24p True Cinema

Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24 frames per second. Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at an even pace. When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player displays each frame at 1/24 second intervals — the same interval originally shot with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing the original cinema image.

HDMI Control (‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync)

‘BRAVIA’ Theatre Sync Function makes operations simple by connecting Sony components that are compatible wit h the HDMI Control function with an HDMI cord.

BD-J application

The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles*.

Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries. Esmertec and Jbed are trademarks or registered trademarks of Esmertec AG. © 2000-2007 Esmertec AG

*This player does not support downloada ble BD-J content.

Support of uncompressed multi-channel Linear PCM

In combination with a compatible AV amplifier, the player can output up to 8ch Linear PC M surround sound*. With a noncompatible amplifier, the player can output 5.1ch analog signals from its 5.1CH OUTPUT jack for high quality audio enjoyment.

*Note that the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack does not

output 8ch signals. You will need an HDMI cord and an HDMIcompatible device that support 8ch signals.

AVCHD format disc playback

The player supports AVCHD format files–high definition recordings made on AVCHD-compatible camcorders. Your high definition personal archive is readily playable in HD quality.
