inspection.
◎
Heed the cautions!
Cautionswhicharedelicateinparticularforservicing
arelabeledonthecabinets,thepartsandthechassis,
etc. Be sure to heed these cautions and the cautions
described in the handling instructions.
◎
Cautions concerning electric shock!
(1) AnACvoltageisimpressedonthisset,soif
youtouchinternalmetalpartswhenthesetis
energized,youmaygetanelectricshock.Avoid
gettinganelectricshock,byusinganisolating
transformer and wearing gloves when servicing
whilethesetisenergized,orbyunpluggingthe
powercordwhenreplacingparts,forexample.
(2) Therearehighvoltagepartsinside.Handlewith
extra care whenthesetisenergized.
◎
Caution concerning disassembly and
assembly!

◎
Use only designated parts!

use the designatedparts.
◎
Be sure to mount parts and arrange the wires
as they were originally placed!

◎
Make a safety check after servicing!
Checkthatallscrews,partsandwiresremovedor

insulation check on the external metal connectors and
betweenthebladesofthepowerplug,andotherwise
checkthatsafetyisensured.
(Insulationcheckprocedure)
Unplugthepowercordfromthepoweroutlet,
disconnecttheantenna,plugs,etc.,andonthepower.
Using a 500V insulation resistance tester, check that
theinsulationresistancevaluebetweentheinplugand
theexternallyexposedmetalparts(antennaterminal,
headphonesterminal,inputterminal,etc.)is1MΩor
greater.Ifitisless,thesetmustbeinspectedand
repaired.
