1 Safety Precautions 1.1. General Guidelines 1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check (See Figure 1.) 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE There are special components used in this equipment 1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use which are important for safety. These parts are marked by an isolation transformer for this check.
1.4. How to Discharge the Capacitor on Flash P.C.B. CAUTION: 1. Be sure to discharge the capacitor on FLASH P.C.B.. 2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit on FLASH P.C.B. when servicing. [Discharging Procedure] 1. Refer to the disassemble procedure and Remove the necessary parts/unit. 2.
2 Warning 2.1. Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Elec- trostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor "chip"...
2.3. How to Replace the Lithium Battery 2.3.1. Replacement Procedure 1. Remove the MONITOR P.C.B.. (Refer to Disassembly Procedures.) 2. Unsolder the each soldering point of electric lead terminal for Lithium battery (Ref. No. “Z6301” at component side of MONI- TOR P.C.B.) and remove the Lithium battery together with electric lead terminal.
When a part replacement is required for repairing MAIN P.C.B., replace as an assembled parts. (Main P.C.B.) 2. The following category is /are recycle module part. Please send it/them to Central Repair Center. • MAIN P.C.B. (VU6361518963: HX-DC1P/PC/PU/EE/GA/GC/GD/GK/GN/GT) • MAIN P.C.B. (VU6361529488: HX-DC1EB/EC/EF/EG)
3.4. How to Define the Model Suffix (NTSC or PAL model) There are seven kinds of HX-DC1. • a) HX-DC1P/PC • b) HX-DC1EB/EC/EF/EG/GN • c) HX-DC1EE • d) HX-DC1GK • e) HX-DC1GT • f) HX-DC1GD • g) HX-DC1GA/GC/PU What is the difference is that the “INITIAL SETTING” data which is stored in Flash ROM mounted on Main P.C.B..
