NOTICE

(FOR CANADIAN MODEL ONLY)

Fuse symbols

(fast operating fuse)

and/or

(slow operating fuse) on PCB indicate that replacement

parts must be of identical designation.

REMARQUE

(POUR MODÈLE CANADIEN SEULEMENT)

Les symboles de fusible

(fusible de type rapide)

et/ou

(fusible de type lent) sur CCI indiquent que

les pièces de remplacement doivent avoir la même désignation.

ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE

LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE

OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND

MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURN-

ING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.

2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance

have special safety related character istics. These are

often not evident

from visual

inspection nor the

protection afforded by them necessarily can be obtained

by using replacement components rated for voltage,

wattage, etc. Replacement par ts which have these

special safety character istics are identified in this

Service Manual.

Electr ical components having such features are

identified by marking with a

on the schematics and

on the parts list in this Service Manual.

The use of a substitute replacement component which

does not have the same safety characteristics as the

PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the

parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire,

or other hazards.

Product Safety is continuously under review and new

instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest

infor mation, always consult the current PIONEER

Service Manual. A subscription to, or

additional copies

of, PIONEER Ser vice Manual may be obtained at a

(FOR USA MODEL ONLY)

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following check should be perfor med for the

continued protection of the customer and ser vice

technician.

LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK

Measure leakage current to a known ear th ground

(water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage

current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or

equivalent between the ear th ground and all exposed

metal par ts of the appliance (input/output ter minals,

screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug

the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V

AC 60 Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any

current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.

In addition, be sure that there are no pinched wires, etc.

7 Make sure screws and soldering scraps do not remain inside the product.

Please check that neither solder debris nor screws remain inside the product.

8 There should be no semi-broken wires, scratches, melting, etc. on the coating of the power cord.

Damaged power cords may lead to fire accidents, so please be sure that there are no damages.

If you find a damaged power cord, please exchange it with a suitable one.

9 There should be no spark traces or similar marks on the power plug.

When spark traces or similar marks are found on the power supply plug, please check the connection and advise on secure

connections and suitable usage. Please exchange the power cord if necessary.

0 Safe environment should be secured during servicing.

When you perform repairs, please pay attention to static electricity, furniture, household articles, etc. in order to prevent injuries.

Please pay attention to your surroundings and repair safely.

2. Adjustments

To keep the original performance of the products, optimum adjustments and confirmation of characteristics within specification.

Adjustments should be performed in accordance with the procedures/instructions described in this manual.

4. Cleaning

For parts that require cleaning, such as optical pickups, tape deck heads, lenses and mirrors used in projection monitors, proper

cleaning should be performed to restore their performances.
