This recorder is designed to record and play 
using the PAL colour system. 
The signals of the SECAM colour system can 
be received or recorded but played back in the 
PAL colour system only. Recording of video 
sources based on other colour systems cannot 
be guaranteed.

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.

0

0

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered

connections.  Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched”

or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,

that were installed during a previous repair.  Point them out to
the customer and recommend their replacement.

This appliance is classified as 
a CLASS 1 LASER product. 
The CLASS 1 LASER 
PRODUCT MARKING is 
located on the rear exterior.

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with
the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40

°C higher than

ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350

°C.

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the
heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

• Strong viscosity

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than
ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such
as on IC pins, etc.

• Usable with ordinary solder

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs

of deterioration.  Point them out to the customer and recommend
their replacement.

5. Check the B+ voltage to see it is at the values specified.

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye
hazard.
