Safety Check after Servicing
Examine the area surrounding the repaired location
for damage or deterioration. Observe that screws,
parts and wires have been returned to original posi-
tions. Afterwards, perform the following tests and con-
firm the specified values in order to verify compliance
with safety standards.
1. Clearance Distance
When replacing primary circuit components, confirm
specified clearance distance (d) and (d') between sol-
dered terminals, and between terminals and surround-
ing metallic parts. (See Fig. 1)

Be sure to confirm the precise values.
2. Leakage Current Test
Confirm the specified (or lower) leakage current be-
tween B (earth ground, power cord plug prongs) and
externally exposed accessible parts (RF terminals,
antenna terminals, video and audio input and output
terminals, microphone jacks, earphone jacks, etc.).
Measuring Method : (Power ON)
Insert load Z between B (earth ground, power cord
plug prongs) and exposed accessible parts. Use an
AC voltmeter to measure across both terminals of
load Z. See Fig. 2 and following table.
