PREPARATION OF SERVICING
Pickup Head consists of a laser diode that is very susceptible to external static electricity.
Although it operates properly after replacement, if it was subject to electrostatic discharge during replacement,
its life might be shortened. When replacing, use a conductive mat, soldering iron with ground wire, etc. to
protect the laser diode from damage by static electricity.
And also, the LSI and IC are same as above.
1M9
Ground conductive
wrist strap for body.
Soldering iron
with ground wire
or ceramic type
Conductive mat
The ground resistance
between the ground line
and the ground is less than 109.
LASER BEAM CAUTION LABEL
When the power supply is being turned on, you may not remove this laser cautions label. If it removes, radiation of a laser
may be received.

SAFETY NOTICE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet (do
not use an isolation transformer for this check). Use an
AC voltmeter, having 5000
W per volt or more sensitivity.
Connect a 1500
W 10 W resistor, paralleled by a 0.15 mF
150V AC capacitor between a known good earth ground
(water pipe, conduit, etc.) and all exposed metal parts of
cabinet (antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet
screwheads, metal overlays, control shafts, etc.).
Measure the AC voltage across the 1500
W resistor.
The test must be conducted with the AC switch on and
then repeated with the AC switch off. The AC voltage
indicated by the meter may not exceed 0.3 V. A reading
exceeding 0.3 V indicates that a dangerous potential
exists, the fault must be located and corrected.
Repeat the above test with the DVD VIDEO RECORDER
power plug reversed.
NEVER RETURN A DVD VIDEO RECORDER TO
THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT TAKING NECESSARY
CORRECTIVE ACTION.
READING SHOULD NOT EXCEED 0.3V
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
