SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the follow-
ing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
LEAKAGE
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 microampers). Leak-
age 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" indication is 0.75
V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale.
The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a pas-
sive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
Notes on chip component replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.

ALL CLEAR
Mode which erases all the user memories registered in this unit and
sets to setting at shipment.
Procedure:
1. With the power turned OFF, press the POWER button while
pressing the MODE button, AUDIO FUNCTION > and
VIDEO FUNCTION > button simultaneously to turn ON the
power.
2. ALL CLEAR 3/5 will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator
tube, and ALL CLEAR will be executed.

Mode which sets the memory of the unit to the setting of adjust-
ment and check at factory. (Not used for servicing.)
Procedure:
1. With the power turned OFF, press the POWER button while
pressing the MODE button and AUDIO FUNCTION > button
simultaneously to turn ON the power.
2. FACTORY SET will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator
tube, and FACTORY SET will be executed.
Note: In case you return the unit to the customer, do not perform
FACTRY SET. If you do it, perform ALL CLEAR.
