CAUTION: Before servicing the NETWORK BLU-RAY DISC
PLAYER covered by this service data and its supplements
and addends, read and follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
NOTE: if unforeseen circumstances create conflict between
the following servicing precautions and any of the safety pre-
cautions in this publications, always follow the safety precau-
tions.
Remember Safety First :

General Servicing Precautions

1. Always unplug the NETWORK BLU-RAY DISC PLAYER
AC power cord from the AC power source before:
(1) Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board,
module, or any other assembly.
(2) Disconnecting or reconnecting any internal electrical
plug or other electrical connection.
(3) Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electro-
lytic capacitor.
Caution : A wrong part substitution or incorrect polar-
ity installation of electrolytic capacitors may result in an
explosion hazard.
2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this NETWORK BLU-
RAY DISC PLAYER or any of its assemblies.
3. Unless specified otherwise in this service data, clean elec-
trical contacts by applying an appropriate contact cleaning
solution to the contacts with a pipe cleaner, cotton-tipped
swab, or comparable soft applicator.
Unless specified otherwise in this service data, lubrication of
contacts is not required.
4. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with
whitch instruments covered by this service manual might be
equipped.
5. Do not apply AC power to this NETWORK BLU-RAY DISC
PLAYER and / or any of its electrical assemblies unless all
solidstate device heat sinks are correctly installed.
6. Always connect the test instrument ground lead to an appro-
priate ground before connecting the test instrument positive
lead. Always remove the test instrument ground lead last.
Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn
the power on. Connect an insulation resistance meter (500V)
to the blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistance
between each blade of the attachment plug and accessible
conductive parts (Note 1) should be more than 1Mohm.
Note 1 : Accessible Conductive Parts include Metal panels,
Input terminals, Earphone jacks,etc.

SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged
easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are
called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of
typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field effect
transistors and semiconductor chip components.
The following techniques should be used to help reduce the
incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor compo-
nent or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any
electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known
earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially
available discharging wrist strap device, which should be
removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power
to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES
devices, place the assembly on a conductive surf ace such
as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or
exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder
ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder
removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate
an electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective
package until immediately before you are ready to install
it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads
electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum
foil,or comparable conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material from
the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective
material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the
device will be installed.
Caution: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or cir-
cuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ES devices. (Normally harmless motion such
as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of
your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity
sufficient to damage an ES device.)
