SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION : Before servicing the VCR+DVD covered by this
service data and its supplements and addends, read and follow the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. NOTE : if unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing
precautions and any of the safety precautions in this publications, always follow the safety precautions.
Remembers Safety First:
General Servicing Precautions
1. Always unplug the VCR+DVD AC power cord from the AC
power source before:
(1) Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board,
module, or any other assembly.
(2) Disconnection or reconnecting any internal electrical
plug or other electrical connection.
(3) Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an elec-
trolytic capacitor.
Caution : A wrong part substitution or incorrect
polarity installation of electrolytic capacitors may result
in an explosion hazard.
2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this VCR+DVD or any
of its assemblies.
3. Unless specified otherwise in this service data, clean
electrical contacts by applying an appropriate contact
cleaning solution to the contacts with a pipe cleaner,
cotton-tipped swab, or comparable soft applicator.
Unless specified otherwise in this service data, lubrication
of contacts is not required.
4. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with
whitch instruments covered by this service manual might
be equipped.
5. Do not apply AC power to this VCR+DVD and/or any of its
electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat
sinks are cerrectly installed.
6. Always connect test instrument ground lead to the
appropriate ground before connection the test instrument
positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground
lead last.
Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn
the power on. Connect an insulation resistance meter(500V)
to the blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts (Note 1) should be more than 1Mohm.
Note 1 : Accessible Conductive Parts including Metal panels,
Input terminals, Earphone jacks, etc.
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged
easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are
called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of
typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field
effect transistors and semiconductor chip components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the
incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any
electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known
earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which
should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to
applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES
devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such
as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or
exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grouned-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder
ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some
solder removal devices not classified a “anti-static” can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES
devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can
generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES
devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protec
tive package until immediately before you are ready to
install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with
leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam,
aluminum foil, or comparable conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from
the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective
material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the
device will be installed.
Caution : Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or
circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ES devices. (Normally harmless motion such
as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting
of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES device.)

DTS or MPEG decoder.
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when

audio.
Off (for DTS): If you select “Off”, the DTS signal
is not output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice
is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit passes each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.
However, you may wish to compress the dynamic
range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows
you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into
normal stereo sound.
