SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Before returning the unit to the customer, make sure you make either (1) a leakage current check or (2) a line to chassis 
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 unit is defective.
CAUTION
  Please heed he points listed below during servicing and inspection.
Heed the cautions!
Spots  requiring particular attention when  servicing, such 
as the cabinet, parts, chassis,etc., have cautions indicated 
on labels. be sure to heed these causions and the cautions 
indicated in the handling instructions.
Caution concerning electric shock!
(1)  An AC voltage  is impressed on  this set, so  touching 
internal  metal  parts  when the  set  is energized  could 
cause  electric  shock.  Take  care  to  avoid  electric 
shock, by for  example  using  an isolating transformer 
and gloves when servicing while the  set is energized, 
unplugging the power cord when replacing parts, etc.
(2)  Tere are high voltage parts inside.  Handle with extra 
care when the set is energized.
 Caution concerning disassembly and 
assembly!
Through great care is taken when manufacturing parts 
from sheet metal, there may in some rare cases be burrs 
on the edges of parts which could cause injury if ngers 
are moved across them. Use gloves to protect your hands.
Only use designated parts!
The  set's  parts  have  specific  safety  properties  (fire 
resistance, voltage resistance, etc.). For replacement parts, 
be sure to use parts which  have the same poroperties. In 
particular, for the  important  safety parts that are  marked 
z 
on wiring  diagrams and parts lists, be sure to use the 
designated parts.
 Be sure to mount parts and arrange the wires 
as they were originally!
For safety seasons, some parts use tape,  tubes or  other 
insulating materials,  and  some  parts are mounted away 
from  the  surface  of  printed  circuit  boards. Care is also 
taken with the positions of the wores omsode amd clamps 
are used to keep wires away from heating and high voltage 
parts, so be sure to set everything back as it was originally.

Inspect for safety after servicing!
Check  that  all  screws,  parts  and  wires  removed  or 
disconnected  for  servicing have been  put back  in  their 
original positions, inspect that no parts around the area that 
has been serviced have been negatively affected, conduct 
an inslation  check  on  the external  metal  connectors and 
between  the  blades  of the  power  plug,  and  otherwise 
check that safety is ensured.
(Insulation check procedure)
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, disconnect 
the  antenna,  plugs,  etc.,  and turn  the  power switch  on. 
Using a  500V insulation resistance  tester, check  that  the 
inplug and the  externally exposed metal  parts  (antenna 
terminal,  headphones terminal,  input  terminal,  etc.)  is 
1MΩ or greater. If it is less, the set must be inspected and 
repaired.

Many  of the electric  and structural parts used in the  set 
have  special  safety  properties.  In  most  cases  these 
properties  are difficult to  distinguish  by sight, and  using 
replacement parts with  higher ratings  (rated power and 
withstand  voltage)  does  not  necessarily guarantee that 
safety performance will  be  poreserved. Parts  with safety 
properties are  indicated  as  shown  below  on the  wiring 
diagrams and parts lists is this service manual. Be sure to 
replace them with parts with the designated part number.
(1) Schematic diagrams ......Indicated by the 
z 
mark.
(2) Parts lists ......Indicated by the 
z
 mark.
Using  parts other than  the designated 
parts could  result in electric shock, res 
or other dangerous situations.
