SECTION 1 PRECAUTION
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (6) Isolation Check (Safety for Electrical Shock Hazard) After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antenna terminals, video/audio input and output terminals, Control knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, earphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock. a) Dielectric Strength Test The isolation between the AC primary circuit and all metal parts exposed to the user, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis should withstand a voltage of 3000V AC (r.m.s.) for a period of one second. (. . . . Withstand a voltage of 1100V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance rated up to 120V, and 3000V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance rated 200V or more, for a period of one second.) This method of test requires a test equipment not generally found in the service trade. b) Leakage Current Check Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet (do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.). Using a "Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage current from each exposed metal part of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth ground (water pipe, etc.). Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.). However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.2mA AC (r.m.s.). Alternate Check Method Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet (do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.). Use an AC voltmeter having 1000 per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1500 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15F AC-type capacitor between an exposed metal part and a known good earth ground (water pipe, etc.). Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC voltmeter. Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, and measure the AC voltage across the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and repeat each measurement. Any voltage measured must not exceed 0.75V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.). However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.35V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.3mA AC (r.m.s.).
AC VOLTMETER (HAVING 1000 /V, OR MORE SENSITIVITY)

(1) The design of this product contains special hardware, many circuits and components specially for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuits. Service should be performed by qualified personnel only. (2) Alterations of the design or circuitry of the products should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer's warranty and will further relieve the manufacturer of responsibility for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom. (3) Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in the parts list of Service manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by ( ) on the parts list in Service manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part shown in the parts list of Service manual may cause shock, fire, or other hazards. (4) Don'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 difference of the GND is shown by the LIVE : ( ) side GND, the ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) : ( ) side GND and EARTH : ( ) side GND. Don't short between the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND and never measure the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND at the same time with a measuring apparatus (oscilloscope etc.). If above note will not be kept, a fuse or any parts will be broken. (5) When service is required, observe the original lead dress. Extra precaution should be given to assure correct lead dress in the high voltage circuit area. Where a short circuit has occurred, those components that indicate evidence of overheating should be replaced. Always use the manufacturer's replacement components.

1.3.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION When transporting the unit, pressure exerted on the internal LCD panel due to improper handling (such as tossing and dropping) may cause damages even when the unit is carefully packed. To prevent accidents from occurring during transportation, pay careful attention before delivery, such as through explaining the handling instructions to transporters. Ensure that the following requirements are met during transportation, as the LCD panel of this unit is made of glass and therefore fragile: (1) USE A SPECIAL PACKING CASE FOR THE LCD PANEL When transporting the LCD panel of the unit, use a special packing case (packing materials). A special packing case is used when a LCD panel is supplied as a service spare part. (2) ATTACH PROTECTION SHEET TO THE FRONT Since the front (display part) of the panel is vulnerable, attach the protection sheet to the front of the LCD panel before transportation. Protection sheet is used when a LCD panel is supplied as a service spare part. (3) AVOID VIBRATIONS AND IMPACTS The unit may be broken if it is toppled sideways even when properly packed. Continuous vibration may shift the gap of the panel, and the unit may not be able to display images properly. Ensure that the unit is carried by at least 2 persons and pay careful attention not to exert any vibration or impact on it. (4) DO NOT PLACE EQUIPMENT HORIZONTALLY Ensure that it is placed upright and not horizontally during transportation and storage as the LCD panel is very vulnerable to lateral impacts and may break. During transportation, ensure that the unit is loaded along the traveling direction of the vehicle, and avoid stacking them on one another. For storage, ensure that they are stacked in 2 layers or less even when placed upright.

1.3.2 OPTICAL FILTER (ON THE FRONT OF THE LCD PANEL) (1) Avoid placing the unit under direct sunlight over a prolonged period of time. This may cause the optical filter to deteriorate in quality and color. (2) Clean the filter surface by wiping it softly and lightly with a soft and lightly fuzz cloth (such as outing flannel). (3) Do not use solvents such as benzene or thinner to wipe the filter surface. This may cause the filter to deteriorate in quality or the coating on the surface to come off. When cleaning the filter, usually use the neutral detergent diluted with water. When cleaning the dirty filter, use water-diluted ethanol. (4) Since the filter surface is fragile, do not scratch or hit it with hard materials. Be careful enough not to touch the front surface, especially when taking the unit out of the packing case or during transportation.

1.3.3 PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF EXTERIOR PARTS Take note of the following when replacing exterior parts (REAR COVER, FRONT PANEL, etc.): (1) Do not exert pressure on the front of the LCD panel (filter surface). It may cause irregular color. (2) Pay careful attention not to scratch or stain the front of the LCD panel (filter surface) with hands. (3) When replacing exterior parts, the front (LCD panel) should be placed facing downward. Place a mat, etc. underneath to avoid causing scratches to the front (filter surface).
