SAFETY CHECK-OUT After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described below. LEAKAGE The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth Ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods. 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these instruments. 2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job. 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

"Complete!!" will then be displayed momentarily when the value is recorded in the non-volatile memory, after which the display changes to "AG Set (MO)". 4. Press the §EJECT button to remove the disc.

5-14. FOCUS BIAS CHECK
Change the focus bias and check the focus tolerance amount. Checking Procedure : 1. Load a test disc (MDW-74/AU-1). 2. Rotate the AMS knob and display "CPLAY MODE" (C29). 3. Press the YES button twice and display "CPLAY MID". 4. Press the MENU/NO button when "C = AD = " is displayed. 5. Rotate the AMS knob and display "FBIAS CHECK" (C05). 6. Press the YES button and display " / c = ". The first four digits indicate the C1 error rate, the two digits after [/] indicate ADER, and the 2 digits after [c =] indicate the focus bias value. Check that the C1 error is below 50 and ADER is below 2. 7. Press the YES button and display " / b = ". Check that the C1 error is below 220 and ADER is below 2. / a = ". 8. Press the YES button and display " Check that the C1 error is below 220 and ADER is below 2 9. Press the MENU/NO button, next press the §EJECT button, and remove the continuously recorded disc. Note 1 : If the C1 error and ADER are above other than the specified value at points a (step 8. in the above) or b (step 7. in the above), the focus bias adjustment may not have been carried out properly. Adjust perform the beginning again.
