SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following items should be checked for continued protection of the customer and the service technician.
leakage current check

resistance check. If the leakage current exceeds 0.5 milliamps, or if the resistance from chassis to either side of the 
power cord is less than 460 kohms, the set is defective. 
Be sure to test for leakage current with the AC plug in both polarities, in addition, when the set's power is in each state 
(on,offandstandbymode),ifapplicable.
CAUTION
  Please heed the following cautions and instructions during servicing and 
inspection.
 
◎
Heed the cautions!
Cautions which are delicate in particular for servicing 
are labeled on the cabinets, the parts and the chassis, 
etc. Be sure to heed these cautions and the cautions 
described in the handling instructions.
 
◎
Cautions concerning electric shock!

Use only designated parts!

on schematic diagrams and parts lists, be sure to use 
the designated parts.

◎
Make a safety check after servicing!
Check that all screws, parts and wires removed or 
disconnected when servicing have been put back in their 
original positions, check that no serviced parts have 
deteriorate the area around. Then make an insulation 
check on the external metal connectors and between 
the blades of the power plug, and otherwise check that 
safetyisensured.
(Insulationcheckprocedure)
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, disconnect 
the antenna, plugs, etc., and on the power. Using a 500V 
insulation resistance tester, check that the insulation
