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 par ts 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 AC milliammeter. T he 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)

For 2 speaker setups

When you connect o nly 2 front speaker s, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets yo u enjoy surround sound effects by using sou nd imaging to create virtual rea r speakers from the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R: right) without using actual rear speakers. Select one of the following mo des:

If the player is set up to output the signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the surround effect will be heard only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “D-PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 78).

TVS 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 an d 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 s tereo 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 dista nce between the front L and R speakers is short, such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

TVS NIGHT

Large sounds, such as explosions, are compressed, but the quie ter sounds are unaffected. This featur e is useful when you don’t want to disturb other people but still want to hear the dialog a nd enjoy the surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE.”

TVS STANDARD

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. Use this setting when you want to use TVS with 2 separate speakers and retain the sound quality.

L : Front speaker (left) R : Front speaker (right)

: Virtual speaker

For 4 (or more) speaker setups

You can enjoy the following surround effects by using the 2 front speakers and 2 rear speakers. Connect the player to the amplifier (receiver)

B-1

with the connection (page 22). You can experience Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) sounds or Digital Cinema Sound (DCS). DCS uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers a way from the actual speaker position or create entire sets of virtual rear speakers from one set of actual rear speakers. “VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT,”

“VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and “VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” make

use of this technology.

NORMAL SURROUND

Software with 2 channel audio signals is decoded with the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) decoder to create surround effects. The rear speakers will emit identical monaural sounds. If you are using a cen ter speaker, the appropriate sounds for the center speaker will be delivered.

RSLS

ENHANCED SURROUND

Provides a greater sense of presence from a Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) source with a monaural rear channel signal. Produces a stereo like effect in the rear channels.

VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT

Uses sound imaging to shift the sound of the rear speakers away from the actual speaker position. The virtual speakers are reproduced as shown in the illustration below. The shift position differs ac cording to “ REAR” or “SIDE” setting of the rear speakers (page 80).

VIRTUAL MULTI REAR

Uses sound imaging to c reate an array of virtual rear speakers from a single pair of actual rear speakers. The virtual speake rs are reproduced as shown in the illustration below.

VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION

Uses sound imaging to create an array of virtual rear speaker positions higher than the listene r from a single pair of actual rear speakers.

You can select “SURROUND” directly by pressing SURROUND. Each time you press the button, the item changes. If y ou select any setting other than “OFF,” the SURROUND indicator on the player lights up.

Notes

• To enjoy the multichannel audio through the 5.1CH

OUTPUT jacks, correctly set each speaker position and distance. For details on setting each speaker, see page 80.

• When you select an item, the sound cuts off for a

moment.

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal for

the rear speakers (page 54), the sur round effects may be difficult to hear.

• When you select “TVS DYNAMIC,” “TVS WIDE,”

“TVS NIGHT”, or “TVS STANDARD,” the player

does not output the sound fr om the center speaker.

• When you select one of the surround modes, turn off

the surround setting of the connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

• If the player is set up to output the signal from the

DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, the TVS effect will not be heard when you play a CD.

• Make sure that your listening position is between

and at an equal distance from yo ur 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 or

COAXIAL) jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS” to “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP,” sound will come from your speake rs but it will not have the TVS effect.
