LASER BEAM SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This DVD player uses a pickup that emits a laser beam. Do not look directly at the laser beam coming from the pickup or allow it to strike against your skin. The laser beam is emitted from the location shown in the figure. When checking the laser diode, be sure to keep your eyes at least 30 cm away from the pickup lens when the diode is turned on.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Product Safety Notice K. Crimp type wire connector The power transformer uses crimp type connectors Some electrical and mechanical parts have special which connect the power cord and the primary side safety-related characteristics which are often not evi- of the transformer.

Safety Check after Servicing Examine the area surrounding the repaired location for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws, Chassis or Secondary Conductor parts, and wires have been returned to their original positions. Afterwards, do the following tests and con- Primary Circuit Terminals firm the specified values to verify compliance with safety standards.

Instructions for Handling Semi-conductors Electrostatic breakdown of the semi-conductors may occur due to a potential difference caused by electro- static charge during unpacking or repair work. 1. Ground for Human Body Be sure to wear a grounding band (1MΩ) that is prop- erly grounded to remove any static electricity that may be charged on the body.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS / CBA’S AND TEST POINTS Standard Notes WARNING Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special characteristics. These characteristics often pass unnoticed and the protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.

LIST OF CAUTION, NOTES, AND SYMBOLS USED IN THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES: 1. CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE HAZARD, REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE FUSE. 2. CAUTION: Fixed Voltage (or Auto voltage selectable) power supply circuit is used in this unit. If Main Fuse (F1001) is blown, first check to see that all components in the power supply circuit are not defective before you connect the AC plug to the AC power supply.
