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)

•When playing DTS-enc oded CDs,

excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precauti ons when the analog stereo jacks of the player are connected to an amplification system.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) WIDE

Uses sound imaging to create virtual rea r speakers from the sound of the front sp eakers (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.

TVS (TV Virtual Surround) NIGHT

Large sounds, such as explosions, are suppressed, but the quieter sounds are unaffected. This feature is use ful 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 (TV Virtual Surround) STANDARD

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

In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when outpu t in PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per second), the progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching. For more information about conversion modes, see “Progressive Conversion Methods of Film Based and Video Based Software.”

VIDEO This will set the conversion

Notes

• Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.

For instance, DVDs of movies may contain the movie taken on film, and a “Making of” sequence taken on video.

• When you play video based software with

you are playing Film based or Video based software and convert the signal to th e appropriate conversion mode. Normally select this position.

mode for Video based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.

Progressive Conversion Methods of Film Based and Video Based Software

This player converts video based software and film based software in the following manner.

Video based software conversion

Video shows an image by alternately displaying every other line of an imag e (field) at 30 frames (60 fields) per second (Interlace format).

The Interlace format displays 30 frames (60 fields) per second by displayin g every other line of the image, causing scanning lin es to appear across the image. Furthermore, since only half of the image is shown at once, the amount of information contained in an i mage is limited.

The Progressive format displays 60 entire frames per seconds. The player accomplishes this by converting each field into a frame by using either a field-based conve rsion method or a frame-based conversion method. The appropriate method is automatically selected by the player according to the movement of the images on the screen. If the movement on the screen is slow, the frame-based conversion method borrows adjacent field information to fill in the missing information. If the movement on the screen is ra pid, the field-based conversion method creates the missing information by predicting the movement of the images on the screen from field to field. The end result is an image that is higher in quality when compared to the Interlace format.

DVD (page 6)

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its d iameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and doublesided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The pictu re data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of it s original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that c hanges the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advance d functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.
