SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The d esign of th is pr od uct con ta ins sp ecial har d ware, ma ny
circuit s and components specially for safety purposes. For
con tinu ed prot ection , n o chan g es sh ou ld b e ma de to the o rig inal
d esign un less a uth orized in writin g by the manu fact urer.
Replacemen t parts must be id ent ic al to thos e u sed in th e original
circu it s. S ervice sho uld b e p erform ed by qualif ied pers on nel
on ly.
2. Alte r ations of t he desig n or circuitry of t he prod ucts sh ould not be
made. Any design alterations or additions will void the
manu fact urer's warra nt y and will f urth er r elieve t he ma nu factu r er
of r esponsib ility for perso na l injury or prop erty d am ag e result ing
th er efr om .
3. Man y e lectr ical an d mech anica l p arts in th e pr od ucts ha ve
special safety-related characteristics. T hese characteristics are
oft en no t e viden t f rom visua l insp ection n or can t he pro tect io n
aff orde d by th em nece ssarily b e ob tained b y u sing r ep lacemen t
compo ne nts rated f or hig he r voltag e, watt ag e, etc. Rep lacemen t
p arts whic h ha ve these sp ecial s afet y ch aract erist ics ar e
identified in the parts list of Servic e manual. El ec tric al
components having su ch features are identified by shading
on t he sche matics and by (!

!) on the parts list in Service
manual. The us e of a sub stitute rep lacem en t which do es n ot
h ave th e same saf ety ch aract erist ics as t he reco mmen de d
replac ement par t sh own in th e p ar ts list of S ervice man ual may
cause shock, fire, or other hazards .
4. Do n't short between the LIVE side ground and ISOLATED
(NEUTRAL) side ground or EARTH side ground when
repairing.
Some model's power circuit is partly different in the GND. The
diff erenc e of th e G ND is sho wn b y the LIV E : (") side GND, the
ISO LATE D(NEUTRAL) : (#) side G ND and EARTH : ($) side
GND. Do n't sh or t b et ween th e LIV E sid e GND an d
ISO LATE D(NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND and
n ever mea sur e wit h a m ea sur ing a ppa r atus ( oscilloscop e etc.)
th e LI VE sid e GND an d IS OLA TED(NE UTRAL) side G ND or
EARTH side GND at the s ame time.
If above note will not be kept, a fuse or any parts will be broken.
5. If any repair has been made to the chassis, it is recommended
th at t he B1 set ting shou ld b e ch ecked or adju sted (See
ADJUSTMENT OF B 1 POW E R SUPPL Y).
6. The high volta ge app lie d t o th e pictu r e tu be mu st con form wit h
th at sp ecified in S er vice man ual. E xcessive h igh vo lt ag e ca n
cau se an incre ase in X- Ray em ission , ar cing an d possib le
component damage, therefore operation under excessive high
voltage conditions should be kept to a minimum, or should be
preve nt ed. If s ever e arc in g occurs, remove t he AC power
immed iate ly and de termine th e ca use b y visua l insp ect io n
(in correct in stallat ion, cr acked or melte d high vo lt age har n ess,
p oor soldering, et c.). To m aint ain the p rope r min imu m le vel of

includ ing t he pict ure tube must b e t he e xact rep laceme nts or
alte rnat ives ap prove d b y the manuf act urer of th e c omplet e
pr od uct.
7. Do not c hec k high volt ag e b y dr awing an ar c. Use a high volt ag e
meter or a hig h v oltag e prob e wit h a V TVM. Discha rge the
picture tube before attempting meter connection, by connecting
a clip lead to th e grou nd f rame and c onn ectin g th e oth er end of
the lead through a 10kΩ 2W resisto r to the an od e b utt on .
8. When se rvice is require d, ob serve th e origina l lea d dress. E xtra
prec aut ion sh ou ld b e g ive n t o assure cor r ect lea d dress in th e
high voltage circuit area. W here a s hor t cir cuit h as occu rre d,

9. Isolation Check
(Safety for Electrical Shock Hazard)
Af ter re-ass emb lin g th e p r odu ct, always per f orm an isolat io n

metal cabin et, scr ewhe ad s, earph one jack, con trol shaf ts, etc.)
to be su re th e p rodu ct is s af e t o o pe r ate with ou t d an ger of
elect rical shoc k.
(1) Dielectric Strength Test

(. . . . W it hstan d a vo lt ag e of 110 0V A C (r.m. s.) t o an ap plianc e
rate d up to 12 0V , an d 3 00 0V AC ( r .m. s.) to an ap pliance r at ed
200V or more, for a period of one second.)
This method of test requires a test equipment n ot generally found
in t he servic e trad e.
(2) Leakage Current Check
Plug th e A C line c ord d irect ly into the A C ou tlet (d o n ot use a lin e
isolatio n transf or mer during this ch eck.) . Usin g a " Lea kag e
Current Teste r", me asur e th e lea kag e cu rre nt f rom each exp osed

0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
Howeve r, in tr op ic al ar ea , this mu st no t exce ed 0.2 mA AC

must not exc eed 0.75V AC (r.m.s.). This c orresponds to 0.5mA
AC (r.m.s.).
Howeve r, in tropica l area, this must n ot exce ed 0.3V AC ( r.m.s.).
This corresponds to 0.2mA AC (r.m.s.).
