1-2-1. General Servicing Precautions
1. Always unplug the unit’s AC power cord from the AC power source and disconnect the DC Power Jack before attempting to:
(a) remove or reinstall any component or assembly, (b) disconnect PCB plugs or connectors, (c) connect a test component
in parallel with an electrolytic capacitor.
2. Some components are raised above the printed circuit board for safety. An insulation tube or tape is sometimes used.
The internal wiring is sometimes clamped to prevent contact with thermally hot components. Reinstall all such elements to
their original position.
3. After servicing, always check that the screws, components and wiring have been correctly reinstalled.
Make sure that the area around the serviced part has not been damaged.
4. Check the insulation between the blades of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (examples: metal panels, input
terminals and earphone jacks).
5. Insulation Checking Procedure: Disconnect the power cord from the AC source and turn the power switch ON.
Connect an insulation resistance meter (500V) to theblades of the AC plug.
The insulation resistance between each blade of the AC plug and accessible conductive parts (see above) should be greater
than 1 megohm.
6. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to the instrument chassis ground before connecting the positive lead;
always remove the instrument’s ground lead last.
