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. 
Be sure to test for leakage current with the AC plug in both polarities, in addition, in each power ON, OFF and STANDBY 
mode, if applicable.
CAUTION
  Please heed the 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.
