SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The d esign of th is pr od uct con ta in s sp ecial hard wa re, many
circuits and components specially for saf ety purposes. For
con tinu ed prot ection , no 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 th e manu fact urer.
Replacem en t p ar ts m ust be id ent ic al to thos e u sed in the origin al
circu it s. S ervice sho uld b e p erformed by qu alif ied p ers on nel
on ly.
2. Alte ration s of t he desig n or circuitr y 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 ur th er relieve t he manu factu r er
of r esp onsib ility for per so na l injury or p r op er ty d am ag e r esult ing
th er efrom.
3. Man y e lectrical an d m ech anica l parts in th e prod ucts ha ve
special safety-relat ed characteristics. T hese characteristics are
oft en no t e viden t f rom visua l insp ection n or ca n t he pr o tect ion

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 the G ND is sho wn b y th e LIV E : (") side GND, the
ISO LATE D(NEUTRAL) : (#) side G ND and EARTH : ($) side
GND. Do n't shor t b et ween the LIV E sid e GND an d
ISO LATE D(NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH sid e GND an d
n ever mea sure wit h a m ea sur ing a ppa ratus (oscillo scop e etc.)
th e LI VE sid e GND an d IS OLA TED(NE UTRAL) sid e 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 ecke d or adju ste d (See
ADJUSTMENT OF B 1 POW E R SUPPL Y).
6. The high voltage app lie d t o th e pictu re tube must con for m wit h
th at sp ecified in S ervice man ual. E xcessive h igh vo lt ag e ca n
cau se an incre ase in X-Ray emission , arcing 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 ing occurs, remove t he AC power
immed iately an d de termine th e ca use b y visua l insp ect io n
(in corr ect installat ion, cracke d or melte d high vo lt age harn ess,
p oor so ld ering, et c.). To maint ain the p rope r min imu m le vel of

alte rnat ives ap pr oved b y th e ma nuf act urer of th e c omplet e
prod uct.
7. Do n ot c hec k high volt ag e b y dr awing an arc. Use a high volt ag e
meter or a hig h v oltage prob e wit h a V TVM . Discha rge th e
picture tube before attempting meter connection, by connecting
a clip lead to th e grou nd f rame a nd c onn ectin g the oth er end of
the lead through a 10kΩ 2W resistor to the an od e b utt on .
8. W hen se r vice is requ ire d, obser ve th e or igina l lea d dress. E xtr a
prec aut ion sh ou ld b e g ive n t o assure correct lea d dress in th e

AC (r.m.s.) for a period of one second.
(. . . . W it hstand a vo lt ag e of 1 10 0V A C (r.m. s.) t o an ap plianc e
rated up to 12 0V , an d 3 00 0V AC ( r .m. s.) to an ap plian ce 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 th e A C ou tlet (d o n ot use a lin e
isolatio n tr ansf orm er du r in g this check.) . Usin g a " Lea kag e
Current Tester", me asure th e lea kag e cu rre nt f rom each exposed

0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
Howeve r, in trop ic al area , this must no t exce ed 0.2 mA AC
