       After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
LEAKAGE
    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
instruments.
2.
A battery-operated AC milliammeter. 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 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of
a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See
Fig. A)

The release method of a CD disc tray LOCK function
There is a disc lock function for the disc theft prevention for a
demonstration at a shop front in this machine.
Procedue:
1. Press the  ?/1  button to turn the set on.
2. Press two buttons of  x  and  OPEN/CLOSE  simultaneously
for five seconds.
3. The message “LOCKED” is displayed and the tray is locked.
(Even if exiting from this mode, the tray is still locked.)
4. Press two buttons of  x  and  OPEN/CLOSE  simultaneously
for five seconds again.
5. The message “UNLOCKED” is displayed and the tray is
unlocked.
6. To exit from this mode, press the  ?/1  button to turn the set
