SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTICE:
Comply with all cautions and safety-related notes
located on or inside the cover case and on the chassis or plasma
module.
WARNING: Since the chassis of this receiver is connected to
one side of the AC power supply during operation, whenever the
receiver is plugged in service should not be attempted by any-
one unfamiliar with the precautions necessary when working on
this type of receiver.
1. When service is required, an isolation transformer should be
inserted between power line and the receiver before any
service is performed on a "HOT" chassis receiver.
2. When replacing a chassis in the receiver, all the protective
devices must be put back in place, such as barriers, non-
metallic knobs, insulating cover-shields, and isolation
resistors, capacitors, etc.
3. When service is required, observe the original lead dress.
4. Always use manufacturer's replacement components. Critical
components as indicated on the circuit diagram should not be
replaced by another manufacturer's. Furthermore, where a
short circuit has occurred, replace those components that
indicate evidence of over heating.
5. Before returning a serviced receiver to the customer, the
service technician must thoroughly test the unit to be certain
that it is completely safe to operate without danger of electrical
shock, and be sure that no protective device built into the
receiver by the manufacturer has become defective, or
inadvertently defeated during servicing.
Therefore, the following checks should be performed for the
continued protection of the customer and service technician.
Leakage Current Cold Check
With the AC plug removed from the 120V AC 60Hz source,
place a jumper across Line 1 and Line 2 of the three plug
prongs, do not connect with the third prong, which is physical
ground.
Using an insulation tester (DC500V), connect one of its leads
to the AC plug jumper and touch with the other lead each
exposed metal part (antennas, screwheads, metal overlays,
control shafts, etc.), particularly any exposed metal part
having a return path to the chassis should have a resistor
reading over 4MΩ. Any resistance value below this range
indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. An
exposed metal part not having a return path to the chassis will
indicate an open circuit.

Leakage Current Hot Check
Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an
isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current
tester or a metering system that complies with the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.0 Leakage Current
for Appliances. In the case of the PDP monitor set the AC
switch first in the ON position and then in the OFF position,
measure from across Line 1 and Line 2 of the three plug
prongs, do not connect with the third prong, which is physical
ground, to all exposed metal parts of the instrument
(antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screw heads,
metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed
metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis.
Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 MIU. Reverse the
instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat test.
