frequency, the output signal from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is converted to 48 kHz sampling frequency.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-dered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are "pinched"
or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transis-
tors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out
to the customer and recommend their replacement.
4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom-
mend their replacement.
5. Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
6. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage.
Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indica-tion is
0.75V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale.
The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-amples of a pas-
sive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suit-able. (See Fig. A)
WARNING!!
WHEN SERVICING, DO NOT APPROACHTHE LASER EXIT
WITHTHE EYE TOO CLOSELY. IN CASE IT IS NECESSARY
TO CONFIRM LASER BEAM EMISSION, BE SURE TO
OBSERVE FROM A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 25 cm
FROM THE SURFACE OF THE OBJECTIVE LENS ON THE

Note
Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played on this
player depending upon the recording quality or
physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of
the recording device.
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been
correctly finalized. For more information, see the
operating instructions for the recording device.
Note on playback operations of DVDs
and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by
software producers. Since this player plays
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc
contents the software producers designed,
some playback features may not be available.
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

Notes about the Discs
On handling discs
· To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
· Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave
it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise considerably inside
the car.
· After pressing
A on the player to eject the
disc, do no leave the disc as it is. Remove it
completely from the player.
· After playing, store the disc in its case.
· If glue is present on the outer edge of the
disc, wipe the edge of the disc with the side
of a pen or pencil so that the glue is spread
evenly along the edge before inserting the
disc into the player. Be sure not to touch the
playback side of the disc when wiping the
edge.
· If burrs remain on the outer edge of the
disc, remove them by rubbing with the side
of a pen or pencil. If burrs are not removed,
discs may not load properly into the player,
or fragments of plastic adhering to the
playback side of the disc may cause
skipping in the sound.
On cleaning
· Before playing, clean the disc with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center out.
· Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or
anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
