(1) Turn off the power supply. Using a 10 9,10 W resistor, connect both ends of power supply capacitors (C701, C702) In order to

discharge the voltage.

(2) Before turning the power supply on, after completion of repair, slowly apply the primary voltage by using a power supply voltage
controller to make sure that the consumed current at 50 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode should be shown below with respect to supply

voltage 230 V/240 V/l 10V -- 127 V/220V - 240V.

I Protection Circuitry

The protection circuitry may have operated it either of the following conditions is noticed:

0 No sound Is heard when the power is switched ON.
I Sound stops during a performance.

The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage it for example, the positive and negative speaker connection wires are
shorted", or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance otthis unit are used.

If this occurs, follow the procedure outlined below:
1. Switch OFF the power.

2. Determine the cause of the cause of the problem and correct it.

3. Switch ON the power once again.
Note:

When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first switched OFF and then ON again.
