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 0.75V, 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)

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.

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 line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the

replacement of any such line cord to the customer.

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

7.  Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,

screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check

leakage as described below.

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

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.

The use of optical instrument with this product will increase eye

hazard.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radia-

tion exposure.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric 
shock, do not expose this apparatus 
to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not 
open the cabinet. Refer servicing to 
qualified personnel only.

Batteries or batteries installed 
apparatus shall not be exposed to 
excessive heat such as sunshine, 
fire or the like.

The use of optical instruments with 
this product will increase eye 
hazard. As the laser beam used in

A molded plug complying with 
BS1363 is fitted to this equipment 
for your safety and convenience.
Should the fuse in the plug 
supplied need to be replaced, a 5 
AMP fuse approved by AST A or 
BSI to BS1362, (i.e., marked with 

 or 

 mark) must be used.

If the plug supplied with this 
equipment has a detachable fuse 
cover, be sure to attach the fuse 
cover after you change the fuse. 
Never use the plug without the fuse 
cover. If you should lose the fuse 
cover, please contact your nearest 
Sony service station.
