Note: Be careful about an electrical shock caused by remains of electrical potential.
The following parts on DC board have the +B or -B electrical potential.
Heat sink for rectifier diodes D801, 802
Aluminium case of smoothing capacitor C803, 804
The 40-60V electrical voltage remains in C803, 804 when the power turns off.
Be sure to discharge in the following manner before servicing.
Discharging
1. Pull out the power cord from the wall outlet.
