NOTES ON CHIP COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged by heat.
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 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
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter . The “limit” indication
UFOELK - 2/21/2018 5:23 PM
is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage
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 2V AC range are suitable. (See

SERVICING NOTES

Ver. 1.3
UNLEADED SOLDER
Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size)
: LEAD FREE MARK
Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 °C higher
than ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350 °C.
Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if
the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!
• Strong viscosity
Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to fl ow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges
occur such as on IC pins, etc.
• Usable with ordinary solder
It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.
ADVANCE PREPARATION WHEN CONFIRMING OPERATION
All the units included in the HT-RT3 (SA-WRT3, SS-RT3/SRT3,
remote control) are required to confi rm the operation of SA-WRT3.
Check in advance that you have all the units.
NOTE OF REPLACING THE IC1000 AND IC1002
ON THE MAIN BOARD AND THE COMPLETE MAIN
BOARD
When IC1000 and IC1002 on the MAIN board and the complete
MAIN board are replaced, it is necessary to spread the compound
between the MAIN board and the heat sink.
Spread the compound (THERMAL COMPOUND (G747)) referring to the fi gure below.

NOTE OF PERFORMING THE OPERATION CHECK IN
THE STATE THAT HEAT SINK WAS REMOVED
When performing the operation check in the state that this unit was
disassembled, it is possible to perform the operation check in the
state that heat sink was removed. But don’t perform the operation
check in the long time, and perform the operation check in the
volume state as low as possible.
IF “PRTCT” APPEARS IN THE FRONT PANEL DISPLAY OF THE SUBWOOFER
t Press 1 to turn off the system. After

the display turns off, disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead) then
check that nothing is blocking the
ventilation holes of the Subwoofer.

When the BLUETOOTH MODULE or RC-S730 (WW) is replaced, the MAC address for BLUETOOTH MODULE has been
changed. Please execute COLD RESET (refer to page 14) before
pairing with a Bluetooth device / NFC.

CAPACITOR ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE PROCESSING
When checking the board, for the electric shock prevention, connect the resistors to both ends of respective capacitor (C201 and
C207) to discharge the capacitor (C201 and C207).
When REGULATOR, SWITCHING 3L405W-2 board (Except
E12), REGULATOR, SWITCHING 3L405W-3 board (E12) or
MAIN board is replaced, it is necessary to fi x parts to the boards
by using a specifi ed bond without fail.
