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 touching high-wattage resistors.

3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that you have replaced all the insulators.

4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if sets always have low HV.

8. 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 instructions.

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 is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).

CAUTION

Only connect your authorized Satellite Dish Antenna to the SATELLITE IN jack as described in the Installation Instructions. Connecting any other equipment to this jack could result in damage to the equipment and/or receiver.

If you have a local TV antenna or cable

company service

Connect it to the VHF/UHF IN jack on your Satellite Receiver using a coaxial c able or RF adapter (not supplied). You can view local stations using your TV controls when the power to the receiver is off.

Note

You must use the VHF/UHF (SAT) OUT jack to connect to your TV or VCR when a local TV antenna or cable company service is connected to the VHF/UHF IN jack (see below and on page 21). When the power to the Satellite Receiver is off, the antenna signal passes through to your TV.

If your TV has A/V input jacks

Connect the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on your Satellite Receiver to the A/V input jacks on your TV using the supplied A/V cable. If your TV has only one audio input, connect it to the AUDIO L jack on the receiver. (Be sure to match the colors on the jacks with the colore d plugs on the A/V cable.)

If your TV has an S-Video input

Use the S-Video cable instead of the yellow video connection shown in .

If your TV does not have A/V jacks

Connect the VHF/UHF (SAT) OUT jack to the VHF/UHF input jack on your TV us in g coaxial cable.

Notes

• With this connection, your input source is channel 3 or channel 4 on your TV depending on how you set the CH 3|4 sw itch on the Satellite Receiver.

• If you connect using or , you can connect your local TV antenna or cable company service to the TV’s VHF/UHF input directly.
