SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety check before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
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 microampers.).
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. Follo w the manufacturers’ 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 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V A C range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

Connecting the printer
Connecting to the video equipment
When printing images from the video equipment such
as a VCR or camcorder, use the supplied video
connecting cable to connect the video equipment and
the printer. Also connect the printer to the television to
display the images to be printed.
For printing operations, see page 20.
If the video equipment
has the S-video output
connector
Connect it to the S VIDEO
INPUT connector of the
printer using the optional
S-video connecting cable
so that you can get better
picture quality. In this
case, you do not need to
connect the video
connector.
When both the S VIDEO
INPUT and VIDEO INPUT
connectors of the
printer are connected
The input signals from
the S VIDEO INPUT
connector are
automatically selected.
Notes
• Before making
connections, turn off
the power of the
printer, the video
equipment and
television.
• See also to the
instruction manuals for
the video equipment.

Precautions
On safety
• Operate the printer on 110 to 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz
only.
• Be careful not to set or drop any heavy objects on the
power cord, or to damage the power cord in any
way. Never operate this printer with a damaged
power cord.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the printer and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Never disassemble the printer.
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug.
Never pull the power cord itself.
• When the printer is not going to be used for an
extended period of time, disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet.
• Do not handle the printer roughly.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug
the printer from electrical outlet before cleaning and
servicing the printer.
On installation
• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:
– vibration
– high humidity
– excessive dust
– direct sunlight
– extremely high or low temperatures
• Do not use electrical equipment near the unit. The
unit will not work properly in electromagnetic fields.
• The unit is designed to operate horizontally. Never
attempt to operate the printer in a tilted position. If
the unit was placed on its side or with its top panel
facing down, make sure to remove the paper tray
and check that the print papers are set properly
before starting operation.
• Do not place heavy objects on the printer.
• Leave enough room around the printer so that the
ventilation holes are not blocked. Blocking these
holes may cause internal heat build-up.
On moisture condensation
If the printer is brought directly from a cold location to
warm location or placed in an extremely warm or
humid room, moisture may condense inside the unit.
In such cases the printer will probably not work
properly and may even develop a fault if you persist in
using it. If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the
power and do not use the printer for at least one hour.
On transport
When you transport the printer, remove the print
cartridge from the printer and put the unit in the
original box with the protective packaging.
If you no longer have the original box and packing
parts, use the substitutive packing material so that it
will not be damaged while transporting.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the
finish.

Precautions (continued)
On floppy disks
To protect data recorded on floppy disk, note the
following:
• Avoid storing floppy disks near magnets or magnetic
fields such as those of speakers and televisions,
permanent erasure of disk data may result.
• Avoid storing floppy disks in areas subject to direct
sunlight or sources of high temperature, such a
heating device. Floppy disk warping of damage may
result, rendering the disk useless.
• Avoid contact with the disk’s surface by opening the
disk shutter plate. If the disk’s surface becomes
blemished, data may be rendered unreadable.
• Avoid getting liquids on the floppy disk or using
floppy disks in areas subject to high humidity.
Otherwise, data may be rendered unreadable.
• Be sure to use the floppy disk case to ensure
protection of important data.
• Use only a 2HD type disk head cleaner when
cleaning the disk drive.
• Even when you use a 3.5 inch 2HD floppy disk,
image data may not be recorded and/or displayed
depending on the using environment. In this case,
use the other brand disks.
Back up recommendation
To avoid the potential risk of data loss, always copy
(back up) data to the other floppy disk.
On print paper
Use the set of the print paper and print cartridge
supplied together in the same carton. If you use them
in different combination, proper printing results may
not be obtained, or paper jam or other trouble may
occur.

Electrical adjustment requires the following measuring equipment.
(1) Monitor TV
(2) Oscilloscope: 2 phenomena, bend 30 MHz or more, with de-
lay mode (use 10 : 1 probe unless otherwise specified)
(3) Frequency counter
(4) Pattern generator
(5) Digital voltmeter

2. Connection of Equipment
Following the designation of input terminal (S-VIDEO or VIDEO),
connect measuring units as shown in Fig. 4-1 and make adjustment.
The input terminal is designated with ( ) in the signal column.
Unless otherwise designated, either input terminal may be used.
Note: In the adjustment where the S-VIDEO input is designated, if ad-
justment was made with the VIDEO input. The specification of
this set will not be satisfied. Always follow the designation.
If adjustment was made using the VTR with S-VIDEO OUT terminal as a signal source, the performance of this set depends on that
VTR. Therefore, use the pattern generator with the Y/C separa te
output terminals, if possible.

The video circuit adjustment uses as adjustment signals the video
signals obtained from the pattern generator, and therefore these
video output signals must be within the specification.
(1) When S-VIDEO is input
Connect an oscilloscope to the Y signal pin of the S-VIDEO IN
connector, and check that the sync signal of Y signal is 286 mV,
video amplitude is 714 mV, and the setup level is 0 mV. (If using
the VTR with S-VIDEO OUT terminal, check further that the
chroma signal and burst signal do not remain.)
Also, connect an oscilloscope to the chroma signal pin of the SVIDEO IN connector, and check that the burst signal amplitude of
chroma signal is 286 mV and it is flat, and moreover, the amplitude ratio of burst signal to chroma signal is 0.30 : 0.705. The Y
signal and chroma signal used for adjustment are shown in
Fig. 4-2.
Setup level: Potential difference between black and pedestal
(2) When VIDEO is input
Connect an oscilloscope to the VIDEO IN terminal, and check
that the sync signal amplitude of VIDEO signal is 286 mV, video
amplitude is 714 mV, the setup level is 0 mV, and the burst signal
amplitude is 286 mV and it is flat. Also, check that the level ratio
of burst signal to red signal is 0.3 : 0.705.

(2) After printing, repeat (1) immediately.
(3) Compare the second printed pattern density with that of the
sample, and if the density differs, perform the following ad-
justment.
(4) Adjust VR201 according to the print density.
If darker than the sample: Decrease the head voltage.
If lighter than the sample: Increase the head voltage.
(5) Print the stair-step pattern two times continuously.
(6) Compare the second printed pattern density with that of the
simple, and if the density differs, repeat steps (3) to (6).
Note: Only one print is required after the second time.
