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

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 A C 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” indica-

tion is 0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-

voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63T rd 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)

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 17.

Note

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 be fo re connecting.

Step 1: Unpacking

Check that you have the following items:

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

•Remote commander (remote) RMT-D126A (1)

•Size AA (R6) batteries (2)

•A plug adaptor is included with some models.

Step 2: Inserting Batteries into the Remote

You can control the player using the supplied remote. Insert two size AA (R6) batteries by matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartm ent. When usi ng the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the player.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks o n a CD

•When playing DTS-encoded CDs,

excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.

•Set the sound to “STEREO” using the

AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 42).

•Do not play DTS sound tracks without f irst

connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) jacks even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” in the Setup Display (page 60), and may affect

cause your speakers to be

your ears or damaged.

Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track

•DTS audio signals are output only through

the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) jacks.

•If you connect the player to au d io

equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” (page 59). A loud noise may come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) DYNAMIC

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L/R) without using actual rear speakers (shown 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 (TV Virtual Surround) WIDE

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L/R) without using actual rear sp eakers. 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.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT

The large sounds, such as expl os io ns , a r e suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature i s useful when you don’t want to disturb other people but still want to hear the dialog and enjoy the surround sound effects of TVS WIDE.
