SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for A C leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
LEAKAGE
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 microampers). 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 V OM
or battery-operated A C v oltmeter. The “limit” indication 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 Fig. A)

While pressing the h (A deck) and REC MUTING W buttons with the power off, press the POWER button to turn on the power.
The fluorescent indicator tube displays the number or special message corresponding to the button pressed.
The message displayed differs according to the position of the switch.
2. Demagnetize the record/playback head with a head demagnetizer.
3. Do not use a magnetized screwdriver for the adjustment.
4. After the adjustments, apply suitable locking compound to the
parts adjusted.
5. The adjustments should be performed with the rated power supply voltage unless otherwise noted.

1. While pressing the H (DECK A) and REC MUTING W
buttons with the power off, press the ! button to turn on the
power. The fluorescent display tube lights up for about one second, and the test mode is set. The test mode performs the following two special functions.
• Playback speed switching function
Pressing the HIGH/NORMAL button switches the playback
speed between standard/double speed.
• Counter RESET & MEMORY function
Resets the counter when recording starts. When rewound with
the m (AMS) button after recording, stops at the point where
recording started.
2. To release the test mode, turn OFF the power switch.
