LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK

1.1.2.

LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See Figure 1.)
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug. 2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1M and 5.2M. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be.
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check. 2. Connect a 1.5k, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15F capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1. 3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor. 4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point. 5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements. 6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

2 PREVENTION OF ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) TO 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 electro static discharge (ESD). 1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, 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 alminum 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 anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static (ESD protected)" can generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices. 5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges 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, alminum foil or comparable conductive material). 7. Immediately 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 handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise hamless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device).
3 PRECAUTION OF LASER DIODE
Caution This unit utilizes a class I laser. Invisible laser radiation is emitted from the optical pickup lens when the unit is turned on: 1. Do not look directly into the pickup lens. 2. Do not use optical instruments to look at the pickup lens. 3. Do not adjust the preset variable resistor on the optical pickup. 4. Do not disassemble the optical pickup unit. 5. If the optical pickup is replaced, use the manufactures specified replacement pickup only. 6. Use of control or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified herin may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
4 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR TRAVERSE DECK
The laser diode in the optical pickup may break down due to potential difference caused by static electricity of clothes or human body. So be careful of electrostatic break down during repair of the optical pickup.
Handling of optical pickup
1. Do not subject the optical pickup to static electricity as it is extremely sensitive to electrical shock. 2. To prevent the breakdown of the laser diode, an antistatic shorting pin is inserted into the flexible board (FPC Board). When removing or connecting the short pin, finish the job in as short times as possible. 3. Be careful not to apply excessive stress to the flexible board (FPC Board). 4. Do not turn the variable resistor (Laser power adjustment).
Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention
1. Human body grounding Use the antistatic wrist strap to discharge the static electricity from your body. 2. Work table grounding Put a conductive material (sheet) or steel sheet on the area where the optical pickup is placed and ground the sheet. Caution The static electricity of your clothes will not be grounded through the wrist strap. So take care not to let your clothes touch the optical pickup.

1. Remove the 4 screws. 2. Pull out the loading base unit vertically. Note There is a danger of damaging the connectors.
Checking the Module P.C.B.
Note Be sure to initialize the player whenever you replace a P.C.B. (Refer to section 10.1, Initializing the DVD Player.)

1. Remove the screw.

Disassembling the Rear Panel
1. Remove all of the screws connected to the rear panel. (The number of screws varies according to the model).
2. Release the two tabs on the left and right.
9.10. Checking the Power Supply P.C.B.

1. Remove the 3 screws.

9.11. Checking the Mother P.C.B.
1. Remove the 4 screws. 2. Release the tab.
2. Carefully pull out the power supply P.C.B. Note There is a danger of damaging the connectors. 3. Connect the power supply P.C.B. and the mother P.C.B. with the extension cable for inspection. Extension cable: JGS0099 (connects the power supply P.C.B. PS1101 and the mother P.C.B. PP1101) 3. Check by connecting the module P.C.B. and the mother P.C.B. with the extension cables. Extension cable: JGS0116 Extension cable: JGS0098 Module P.C.B. Mother P.C.B. PS3201-PP3201 PS4201-PP4201 4. Check by connecting the mechanism loading P.C.B. and the mother P.C.B. with the extension cable. Extension cable: VUC8027 Mechanism Loading P.C.B. Mother P.C.B. PS2591-PP2591
Note Be sure to initialize the player whenever you replace a P.C.B. (Refer to section 10.1, Initializing the DVD player.)

10 Service Precautions
10.1. Initializing the DVD Player
Initialize the DVD player whenever you replace a microprocessor, microprocessor peripheral parts, module P.C.B. or mother P.C.B.

10.1.1. Precautions

The customer settings will return to factory preset settings when the player is initialized. Make a note of the settings and reset them after initializing. When resetting, see the Initial Settings in the Operating Instructions.
10.1.2. Initialization Method
The player will be initialized (return to the factory preset condition) when you press the "PAUSE," "SKIP/SEARCH<<" and "OPEN/CLOSE" buttons simultaneously. When the DVD player is initialized, "Initialized" appears on screen, it also displays "INITIALIZE". Press them at the least for three seconds after you confirmed the display.

2. Disconnect the 2 flexible cables.
11.7. Disassembling the Optical Pickup Unit
1. Remove the screw. 2. Release the tab, then remove spring holder 1. Note Be sure not to lose the spring. 3. Remove the guide shaft. Note Be sure to adjust the optical pickup tilt after replacing the optical pickup. (Refer to section 11.12, Opitcal Pickup Tilt Adjustment.)
11.6. Disassembling the Stepping Motor Unit
1. Disconnect the flexible cable. 2. Remove the 2 screws. Note Take care when handling the flexible cable because it can be broken by excessive force.
11.8. Disassembling the Nut Unit
1. Remove the screw. Notes The nut unit is not part of the optical pickup. Before replacing the optical pickup, remove the nut unit for use with the new optical pickup. After installation, use screw lock to lock the screw in position. When reassembling, use screw lock to lock the screw in position after attaching it.
11.10. Assembling the Optical Pickup
1. Install the optical pickup. Note Take care not ot attach the tilt spring and guide shaft in the wrong order.
11.9. Disassembling the Sub-Shaft Preload Spring
