Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all
Funai Equipment. The service procedures recommended by Funai and
described in this service manual are effective methods of performing
service operations. Some of these service special tools should be used
when and as recommended.
It is important to note that this service manual contains various CAUTIONS
and NOTICES which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk
of personal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper
service methods may damage the equipment. It also is important to
understand that these CAUTIONS and NOTICES ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE.
Funai could not possibly know, evaluate and advice the service trade of all
conceivable ways in which service might be done or of the possible
hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, Funai has not
undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, a servicer who uses a
service procedure or tool which is not recommended by Funai must first
use all precautions thoroughly so that neither his safety nor the safe
operation of the equipment will be jeopardized by the service method
selected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Product Safety Notice
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special
safety-related characteristics which are often not
evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection
they give necessarily be obtained by replacing them
with components rated for higher voltage, wattage,
etc. Parts that have special safety characteristics are
identified by a # on schematics and in parts lists. Use
of a substitute replacement that does not have the
same safety characteristics as the recommended
replacement part might create shock, fire, and/or other
hazards. The Product’s Safety is under review
continuously and new instructions are issued
whenever appropriate. Prior to shipment from the
factory, our products are carefully inspected to confirm
with the recognized product safety and electrical
codes of the countries in which they are to be sold.
However, in order to maintain such compliance, it is
equally important to implement the following
precautions when a set is being serviced.
Precautions during Servicing
A. Parts identified by the # symbol are critical for
safety. Replace only with part number specified.
B. In addition to safety, other parts and assemblies
are specified for conformance with regulations
applying to spurious radiation. These must also be
replaced only with specified replacements.
Examples: RF converters, RF cables, noise
blocking capacitors, and noise blocking filters, etc.
C. Use specified internal wiring. Note especially:
1) Wires covered with PVC tubing
2) Double insulated wires
3) High voltage leads
D. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous
live parts. Note especially:
1) Insulation tape
2) PVC tubing
3) Spacers
4) Insulators for transistors
E. When replacing AC primary side components
(transformers, power cord, etc.), wrap ends of
wires securely about the terminals before
soldering.
F.Observe that the wires do not contact heat
producing parts (heat sinks, oxide metal film
resistors, fusible resistors, etc.).
G. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp
edges or pointed parts.
H. When a power cord has been replaced, check that
5 - 6 kg of force in any direction will not loosen it.
I.Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.
J. Be careful that foreign objects (screws, solder
droplets, etc.) do not remain inside the set.
K. When connecting or disconnecting the internal
connectors, first, disconnect the AC plug from the
AC outlet.
1-3-1DVDN_ISP
Safety Check after Servicing
Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts, and
wires have been returned to their original positions. Afterwards, do the following tests and confirm the specified
values to verify compliance with safety standards.
1. Clearance Distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm
specified clearance distance (d) and (d’) between
soldered terminals, and between terminals and
surrounding metallic parts. (See Fig. 1)
Table 1: Ratings for selected area
Chassis or Secondary Conductor
Primary Circuit
AC Line VoltageClearance Distance (d), (d’)
120 V≥ 3.2 mm (0.126 inches)
Note: This table is unofficial and for reference only. Be
sure to confirm the precise values.
2. Leakage Current Test
Confirm the specified (or lower) leakage current
between B (earth ground, power cord plug prongs) and
externally exposed accessible parts (RF terminals,
antenna terminals, video and audio input and output
terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.) is
lower than or equal to the specified value in the table
below.
Measuring Method (Power ON):
Insert load Z between B (earth ground, power cord plug
prongs) and exposed accessible parts. Use an AC
voltmeter to measure across the terminals of load Z.
See Fig. 2 and the following table.

soldering iron to center of the flat pack-IC and heat
up. Then remove (glue will be melted). (Fig. S-1-6)
4. Release the flat pack-IC from the CBA using
tweezers. (Fig. S-1-6)
CAUTION:
1. The Flat Pack-IC shape may differ by models. Use
an appropriate hot-air flat pack-IC desoldering
machine, whose shape matches that of the Flat
Pack-IC.
2. Do not supply hot air to the chip parts around the
flat pack-IC for over 6 seconds because damage
to the chip parts may occur. Put masking tape
around the flat pack-IC to protect other parts from
damage. (Fig. S-1-2)

Instructions for Handling Semiconductors
Electrostatic breakdown of the semi-conductors may
occur due to a potential difference caused by
electrostatic charge during unpacking or repair work.
1. Ground for Human Body
Be sure to wear a grounding band (1 MΩ) that is
properly grounded to remove any static electricity that
may be charged on the body.
2. Ground for Workbench
Be sure to place a conductive sheet or copper plate
with proper grounding (1 MΩ) on the workbench or
other surface, where the semi-conductors are to be
placed. Because the static electricity charge on
clothing will not escape through the body grounding
band, be careful to avoid contacting semi-conductors
with your clothing.
