• Safety Check after Servicing
Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, parts and wires have
been returned to original positions. Afterwards, perform the following tests and confirm the specfied values in order to veri-
fy compliance with safety satandards.
1. Insulation resistance test
Confirm the specified insulation resistance or greater between power cord plug prongs and externally exposed parts of
the set (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks,
etc.). See table below.
2. dielectric strength test.
Confirm specified dielectric or strength or greater between power cord plug prongs and exposed accessible parts of the
set(RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks,
etc.) See table below.
3. Clearance distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm
speckfied clearance distance (d), (d") between soldered
terminals, and between terminals and surrounding metalic
parts. see table below.

Note : This table is unofficial and for reference only. Be sure to confirm the precise values for your particular country and
locality.
4. Leakage current test
confirm specified or lower leakage current between B (earth ground, power cord plug prongs) and externally exposed
accessible parts (RF terminals, antenna terminals, video and audio input and output terminals, microphone jacks, ear-
phone jacks, etc.)
Measuring Method : (Power ON)
Insert load Z between B (earth ground, power cord plug
prongs) and exposed accessible parts. Use and AC volt-
meter to measure across both terminals of load Z.
See figure and following table.
