1. Precautions
Follow these safety, servicing and ESD precautions to prevent damage and protect against potential hazards
such as electrical shock and X-rays.

1-1 Safety Precautions

1. Be sure that all of the built-in protective
devices are replaced.

2. When reinstalling the chassis and its

assemblies, be sure to restore all protective
devices, including control knobs and
compartment covers.

3. Make sure that there are no cabinet

openings through which people--
particularly children--might insert fingers
and contact dangerous voltages. Such
openings include the spacing between the
picture tube and the cabinet mask,
excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots,
and improperly fitted back covers. Fig. 1-1 AC Leakage Test

With the unit completely reassembled, plug
the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC
outlet. With the unit's AC switch first in
the ON position and then OFF, measure the
current between a known earth ground
(metal water pipe, etc.) and all exposed
metal parts. Examples: Handle brackets,
metal cabinets, screwheads and control
shafts. The current measured should not
exceed 0.5 milliamp. Reverse the power-
plug prongs in the AC outlet and repeat.

5. Ground the "Short Terminal" (located on the

PCB, inside the Pickup Assembly) before
replacing the Pickup. This terminal should
be shorted whenever the Pickup Assembly
is lifted or moved.

6. After replacing the Pickup, reopen the Short

Terminal. See diagrams below:

1-5 Special Precautions for HDD

* HDD Data Maintenance Step
1. Since the data on the HDD is weak to mechanical shock, place the HDD in a safe
location that is free from mechanical shock once it is removed from the main unit.

2. In order to safe keep the data on the HDD, back up the data before the repair or
make sure not to place the HDD near any electrical appliance that generates a strong
magnetic field.

As time goes by, home theater system has become recognized as a system that helps listen sound
closer to the original sound rather than video. In this 21st century, most movie and animation films
will be produced for home theater and reproduce sound closer to original sound.

What is Sound Pressure?

* A measure of how well speaker converts electric signal it receives to sound

* Unit of sound pressure is decibel and mainly measures the size of sound at 1 m away after
sending 1 W power from speaker.
❋ High sound pressure doesn't necessary mean good performance

What is Timbre?

* How well the unique sound of musical instrument is expressed

* Better if violin and cello sound are accurately distinguished. Good timbre means high quality.

speakers and provides surround dynamic sound effects so that you can even
feel the direction of sound.

5 channel

A Center Speaker : Voice ( over 95%)

B Front Speaker (L/R) : Music Sound
C Rear Speaker (L/R) : Sound Effect

0.1 channel

D Subwoofer : Low Sound Effect
