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-sol-dered 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

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 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 V OM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-tion is

0.75V , so analog meters must ha ve an accurate low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-amples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V A C range are suit-able. (See Fig. A)

Notes about the Discs

On handling discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not expo se th e disc to d ire ct sun lig h t o r heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car.

• After pressing A on the player to eject the disc, do no leave the disc as it is. Remove it completely from the player.

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

• If glue is present on the outer edge of the

disc, wipe the edge of the disc with the s ide of a pen or pencil so that the glue is sp read evenly along the edge before inserting the disc into the player. Be sure not to touch the playback side of the disc when wiping the edge.

• If burrs remain on the outer edge of the disc, remove them by rubbing with th e side of a pen or pencil. If burrs ar e not remo ved, discs may not load properly into the player, or fragments of plastic adhering to the playback side of the disc may cause skipping in the sound.

On cleaning

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Getting Started

Quick Overview

A quick overview presented in this chapter will give you enough information to start using the player for your enjoyment. To use the surround sound features of this player, refer to “Hookups” on page 19.

Notes

• You cannot connect this player to a TV that does not have a video input jack.

• Be sure to turn off the power of each component before connec ting.

Step 1: Unpacking

Check that you have the followi ng items:

• Audio/video cord (pinplug x 3 y pinplug x 3) (1)

• Remote commander (remote) RMT-D137A (1)

• Size AA (R6) batteries (2)

• AC power adaptor AC-F21 (1)

• AC power cord (1)

• Jack cover for vertical installation (1)

Step 2: Inserting Batteries into the Remote

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two size AA (R6) batter ies by matching the 3 and # ends on the ba tteries to the marking s inside the com partment. When us ing the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the player.

Getting Started

If you cannot operate the player with the remote

The player has 2 remote sensors, one at the top and one on the front (page 18). If one of the remote sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting apparatus, the remote may not operate correctly. If this happens, select a remote sensor in the following way until you find one that works.

When the power is on and no disc is inser ted in the player, press . for more than 2 seconds while pressing x. The selected remote sensor is displayed on the front panel display as follows:

BOTH* (The player receives the remote signal at both remote sensors.)

* The default setting

Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lig hting apparatus. Doing so may cause a

malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batter ie s to a void possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

TOP (The player receives the remote

signal at the top remote sensor.)

FRONT (The player receives the remote

signal at the front remote sensor.)

TV Virtual Surround Sound Settings

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front speakers, TV Virtual Surround lets you enjoy surround sound effects by using sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. This function is designed to work with the AUDIO OUT L/R jacks. Note that if you select one of the TVS settings while playing a DVD, the player does not output the Dolby Digital signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack (when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “DPCM”) (page 68).

To reset the TVS setting

In Step 2, select “OFF.”

TVS DYNAMIC

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The sound imaging effect is distinct and clearly reproduces each aural element of the audio track. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS WIDE

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without using actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. This gives the sound an expanded effect that fills the area surrounding the listener. This mode is effective when the distance between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

Notes

• When you select an effect, the sound cuts off for a moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for the rear speakers (page 52), the surround effect s may be difficult to hear.

• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off the surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

• Make sure that your listening position is between and at an equal distance from your speakers, and that the speakers are located in similar surroundings. Otherwise, the TVS effect may be hard to discern.

•“TVS NIGHT” only works with Dolby Digital discs. However, not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT” function in the same way.

• If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, sound will come from your speakers but it will not have the TVS effect.
