After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or touching
high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and mounting
hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that you have replaced
all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that
were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration.
Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement
of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and
all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described
below.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all
exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must
not exceed 0.5 mA(500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by
any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A.
Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. The Data Precision 245 digital
multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or
battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog
meters must have an accurate low voltage scale.
The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of passive VOMs
that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital multimeters that have a
2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
The cover-plate retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is at earth ground.
Verify the AC outlet box retaining screw ground by connecting a 60-to 100-watt
trouble-light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the
retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side on the line;
the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw is at ground potential
(see Figure B).

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONS
SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will automatically begin to flash. The number
of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY LED flash indicators is listed in the
instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to
review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than
one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen.
If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .
If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .
