SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION : Before servicing the A/V Receiver covered by this
service data and its supplements and addends, read and follow the
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. NOTE: if unforeseen circumstances
create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any
of the safety precautions in this publication, always follow the safety
precautions.
Remember Safety First:
General Servicing Precautions
1. Always unplug the A/V Receiver AC power cord from the AC power source before:
(1) Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board,
module, or any other assembly.
(2) Disconnecting or reconnecting any internal electrical plug or
other electrical connection.
(3) Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electrolytic
capacitor.
Caution : A wrong part substitution or incorrect polarity installation
of electrolytic capacitors may result in an explosion hazard.
2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this A/V Receiver or any of its assemblies.
3. Unless specified otherwise in this service data, clean electrical contacts by applying an appropriate contact cleaning solution to
the contacts with a pipe cleaner, cottontipped swab, or
comparable soft applicator.Unless specified otherwise in this service data, lubrication of
contacts is not required.
4. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with which instruments covered by this service manual might be equipped.
5. Do not apply AC power to this A/V Receiver and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heat sinks are
correctly installed.
6. Always connect test instrument ground lead to the appropriate ground before connecting the test instrument positive lead. Always
remove the test instrument ground lead last.
Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the
power on. Connect an insulation resistance meter(500V) to the
blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance between
each blade of the attachment plug and accessible conductive parts
(Note 1) should be more than 1M-ohm.
Note 1 : Accessible Conductive Parts including Metal panels, Input
terminals, Earphone jacks, etc.
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by
static electricity. Such components commonly are called
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical Es
devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors and
semiconductor chip components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the
incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or
semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic
charge on your body by touching a known earth ground.
Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available
discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for
potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under
test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum
foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the
assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an antistatic solder removal device. Some solder
removal devices not classified a anti-static can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freonpropelled chemicals. These can generate
electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective
package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most
replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically
shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil, or
comparable conductive material).
7. lmmediately before removing the protective material from the
leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to
the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be
installed.
Caution : Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Normally harmless motion such as the brushing
together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a
carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage
an ES device.)
