SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet (do
not use an isolation transformer for this check). Use an
AC voltmeter, having 5000
Ω
per volt or more sensitivity.
Connect a 1500
Ω
10 W resistor, paralleled by a 0.15
µ
F
150V AC capacitor between a known good earth ground
(water pipe, conduit, etc.) and all exposed metal parts of
the cabinet (antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet
screwheads, metal overlays, control shafts, etc.).
Measure the AC voltage across the 1500
Ω
resistor.
The test must be conducted with the AC switch on and
then repeated with the AC switch off. The AC voltage
indicated by the meter may not exceed 0.3 V. A reading
exceeding 0.3 V indicates that a dangerous potential
exists, the fault must be located and corrected.
Repeat the above test with the DVD VIDEO PLAYER
power plug reversed.
NEVER RETURN A DVD VIDEO PLAYER TO THE
CUSTOMER WITHOUT TAKING NECESSARY
CORRECTIVE ACTION.
READING SHOULD NOT EXCEED 0.3V
