test unit.
2. Select corresponding RF channels.

4.2.8. VARIABLE VOLTAGE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER
An Isolation Transformer should always be used during the servicing of VCR whose chassis is not
isolated from the AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the
technician from accidents resulting in personal injury fromelectrical shocks. It will also protect VCR
from being damaged by accidental shorting that may occur during servicing.
Also, when troubleshooting the above type of Power Supply Circuit, a variable isolation transformer is
required in order to increase the input voltage slowly.
4.2.9. SPECIAL NOTE
All integrated circuits and many other semiconductor devices are electrostatically sensitive and
therefore require the special handling techniques described under the “ELECTROSTATICALLY
SENSITIVE (ES) DEVICES” section of this service manual.
