Safety Precaution for Repair
1-1 Cautions
Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related characteristics. These are often not
evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using
replacement components rated for a higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these
special safety characteristics are identifi ed in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such
features are identifi ed by marking with a on the schematics and the parts list in this Service Manual.
The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as
the HITACHI recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create
shock, fi re, or other hazards. Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are
issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual.
A subscription to, or additional copies for, HITACHI Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal
charge from HITACHI SALES CORPORATION.
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
CAUTION
There is a high-voltage section inside the DVD video
camera/recorder: When repairing or inspecting it, take
great care to prevent electric shock: Use an isolating
transformer, wear gloves, etc.
CLASS 1
LASER PRODUCT
CAUTION
This product contains a laser diode of
higher class than 1. To ensure contin-
ued safety, do not remove any covers
or attempt to gain access to the in-
side of the product. Refer all servicing
to qualified personnel.
Lithium battery; danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to
manufacturer's instructions.
When replacing the lithium battery it is important to use the same type and connect it correctly.
WARNING:
Lithium batteries contain dangerous chemicals.
Handle and dispose of with great care.
Do not throw in a fi re.
Do not short circuit it.
For disposal place in a plastic bag and put in waste bin.

Safety Precaution for Repair > Electrostatic Protection Measures / Cautions When Handling DVD Drive
1-2
Electrostatic Protection Measures
Semiconductor components can be damaged by static electricity charged on clothes, human
body, etc. Take great care when handling components to avoid electrostatic damage, and perform
servicing in an environment where grounding is complete.
(1)
Grounding work bench
Lay out an antistatic mat on work bench, and then use the ground plate to ground the work bench.
Antistatic mat
Ground
1M ohm
1M ohm
Antistatic wrist strap

Cautions When Handling DVD Drive
The optical pickup in DVD drive has a high precision structure: Be sure to observe the following
cautions.
1) Do not subject optical pickups to any severe vibrations or
impact during movement, installation or disassembly.
2) When performing repair work, do not perform disassembly any
further than that described in this manual.
3) Never turn the semi-variable resistors for adjustment in
optical pickup or DVD drive.
4) NEVER look into the objective lens in optical pickup or directly
view the laser light: You could lose your eyesight.
Do not directly look at laser light
from pickup.
(2)
Grounding human body
Use an antistatic wrist strap to discharge any static electricity charged on the body. Also, use a
tester for wrist strap to make sure that the wrist strap is working normally. Note, however, that
static electricity charged on clothes will not be discharged by wrist strap: Therefore do not allow
your clothes to touch the semiconductor components.
1 - 3
(3)
Lead-free solder for servicing
Use the following lead-free solder for servicing:
Recommended lead-free solder and composition of alloy (wt%): Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu or equivalent
Information:
For composition of alloy, Sn is tin; Ag is silver; Cu is copper; Bi is bismuth; Pb is lead.
(4)
Soldering iron for servicing
The temperature of soldering iron tip must be adjusted according to the points to be soldered: Use
an antistatic soldering iron with thermal control function.
When removing components, take care not to damage any surrounding component or pattern. When
attaching components, observe the heating time in the following table so that the components are
not destroyed by heat.
1-4
Lead-Free Solder
The printed circuit board that uses lead-free solder is adopted. To protect the global environment,
use the recommended lead-free solder also during servicing.
Read and observe the following before soldering:
Caution
ALWAYS wear protective goggles during soldering so that no solder smoke or scattered solder
enters the eye. Lead-free solder may scatter at high temperatures of 600°C.
(1)
Identifi cation of circuit boards that use lead-free solder
“ ” is stamped or noted with pattern letter on circuit boards that use lead-free solder.
(2)
Characteristics of lead-free solder
The components of lead-free solder used are as follows. The melting point of lead-free solder is
30-40°C higher than that of lead based solder:
Melting temperature: Approx. 220°C
Tip temperatures for different soldering points:

Cautions when using lead based solder
It is recommended that you use lead-free solder when servicing, but it is also possible to service
using lead based solder. However, if lead based solder is used for servicing, take care with the
following:
1) Before using lead based solder, remove the lead-free solder completely from the point to be
soldered.
2) For additional soldering for repair, set the soldering iron tip temperature for lead-free solder,
mix lead based solder and lead-free solder suf ciently. Do not perform any repair using the
bare soldering iron tip without adding solder, since it will cause secondary failure due to lack of
strength.
