1 Safety Precautions
1.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit. 2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed. 3. After servicing, carry out the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

1.1.1.

LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK

1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug. 2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1M and 5.2M. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be

1.1.2.

LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK

1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check. 2. Connect a 1.5k, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15µF capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1. 3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor. 4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point. 5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements. 6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

Before Repair and Adjustment

Disconnect AC power to discharge unit AC Capacitors as such C701, C702, C703, C704, C705, C706, C707, C748 through a 10 , 10 W resistor to ground. Caution: DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices. After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent. Current consumption at AC 120 V, 60 Hz in NO SIGNAL mode volume minimal should be ~ 500 mA.

2 Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electro static discharge (ESD). 1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. 2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly. 3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices. 4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static (ESD protected)" can generate electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices. 5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices. 6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material). 7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed. Caution: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions. 8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device).

4.1.1.

Service caution based on legal restrictions
General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF)

The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation. The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30 degrees C (86°F) more than that of the normal solder. Definition of PCB Lead Free Solder being used
The letter of "PbF" is printed either foil side or components side on the PCB using the lead free solder. (See right figure)

Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF) · The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used. (Definition: The letter of "PbF" is printed on the PCB using the lead free solder.) · To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder. · Remove the remaining lead free solder on the PCB cleanly for soldering of the new IC. · Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt the lead free solder. · Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30 degrees C (662±86°F). Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.) · The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route.

5 Handling Precautions for Traverse Unit
The laser diode in the optical pickup unit may break down due to static electricity of clothes or human body. Special care must be taken avoid caution to electrostatic breakdown when servicing and handling the laser diode.

5.1.

Cautions to Be Taken in Handling the Optical Pickup Unit

The laser diode in the optical pickup unit may be damaged due to electrostatic discharge generating from clothes or human body. Special care must be taken avoid caution to electrostatic discharge damage when servicing the laser diode. 1. Do not give a considerable shock to the optical pickup unit as it has an extremely high-precise structure. 2. To prevent the laser diode from the electrostatic discharge damage, the flexible cable of the optical pickup unit removed should be short-circuited with a short pin or a clip. 3. The flexible cable may be cut off if an excessive force is applied to it. Use caution when handling the flexible cable. 4. The antistatic FPC is connected to the new optical pickup unit. After replacing the optical pickup unit and connecting the flexible cable, cut off the antistatic FPC.

5.2.

Grounding for electrostatic breakdown prevention

Some devices such as the DVD player use the optical pickup (laser diode) and the optical pickup will be damaged by static electricity in the working environment. Proceed servicing works under the working environment where grounding works is completed.

5.2.1. 5.2.2.

Worktable grounding Human body grounding

6 HDD (Hard Disk Drive) Handling Care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage.

The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.

Back up the HDD periodically
As a precaution for HDD failure, we recommend making a backup of the HDD periodically. However, in some cases where the HDD is heavily damaged, backups may not be restored.

Immediately request service as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or distortion ("broken up" audio) may result. Using the HDD in this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this type of problem, request service. Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.

Setup precautions
Do not place in an enclosed area where the rear cooling fan is covered up. Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration or impact. Do not place on anything that generates heat like a video cassette recorder, etc. Do not place in an area often subject to temperature changes. Place in an area where condensation does not occur. Condensation is a phenomenon where moisture forms on a cold surface when there is an extreme change in temperature. Condensation may cause internal damage to the unit. Conditions where condensation may occur When there is an extreme change in temperature (moving from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit.) When the HDD (warms during operation) is subjected to cold air, condensation may form on the inside of the HDD and may cause damage to the HDD heads, etc. When there is high humidity or a lot of steam in the room. During the rainy season. In the above situation, wi thout turning t he un it on , let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2 3 hours until condensation is gone.

While operating
Do not move the unit or subject to vibration or impact. (The HDD may become damaged.) Do not remove the AC power plug from the household AC outlet, or flip the power breaker switch. While the unit is on, the HDD is rotating at high speed. Sound or movement due to rotation is normal.

When moving the unit
1. Remove the CD. 2. Turn the unit off. 3. After "GOOD-BYE" is finished displaying, remove the plug from the wall within 2 minutes, or wait until conversion and analysis is complete to remove the AC power supply cord from the household AC outlet. 4. Once the HDD is no longer rotating and has come to a complete stop (after waiting about 2 minutes), move the unit carefully so as to avoid any vibration or shock. (After the power has been turned off, the HDD will briefly continue to rotate due to inertia.) After the power to the unit has been turned off, (unit enters "Standby Mode"), if there are recorded tracks that have not yet been converted or analyzed, the HDD will begin conversion and analysis of these recorded tracks after about 2 minutes. During conversion/analysis: Do not remove the AC power supply cord. If you are using an extension cord and/or power strip with a power switch, do not switch the power to off.

Cigarette smoke,etc. causes malfunction or breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/ vapor, etc. gets inside the unit.

Indemnity concerning recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).

A warning about data management:
This unit records the history of y our operations (user information), and this history includes data such as track data recorded, user playlist information, and the various settings you made on this unit. Depending on where you place this unit, your personal information could be compromised and used by a third party. Use caution and discretion when considering where to use this unit.

Function Overview

Year 2007 PT models support wireless which includes FX65/FX66, wireless subwoofer and FX85 as described below:-

23

SA-PTX7P

8.7.4.1.

FX65/FX66

· The FX65/FX66 supports one-way wireless transmission only, that is, it will only transmit wireless audio signal to the rear surround speakers. The FX65/FX66 receiver module includes a D-AMP and SMPS. The transmitter interfaces with the main unit using serial communications to communicate information such as mute command request, link detection and ID setting request. Maximum range attainable is 15 meters.

8.7.4.2.

Wireless Subwoofer (For PT1050 Only)

· The wireless subwoofer receiver module is similar in operation with FX65/FX66 in such a way that it only supports one-way wireless transmission. It also includes a D-AMP and SMPS. The difference in the wireless subwoofer receiver module is the way its hardware interprets the audio it receives from the transmitter since it is the same audio received by the FX65/FX66 receiver. Maximum range attainable is 30 meters.

8.7.4.3.

FX85

· The FX85 supports the multi-room function wherein it operates as a second room wireless receiver (up to a maximum of two). Maximum range attainable is 30 meters. It can send commands to the main unit to control functions such as Play, Stop, Forward Skip/Channel Up, Reverse Skip/Channel Down. It also has a built-in DAP pocket for stand-alone operation by inserting a DAP device (e.g. iPod) in the DAP pocket to play the device only via the device's own control buttons, FX85 cannot control the device using its own buttons. The transmitter interfaces with the main unit using serial communications to communicate information such as mute command request, link detection, ID setting request and button commands from the FX85 buttons (Play, Stop, Forward Skip/Channel Up, Reverse Skip/Channel Down). The FX85 receiver module has the following functions/terminals/buttons:
FX85 BUTTONS FX 85 Power Button Selector Button Play Button Stop Button Forward Skip/Channel Up Reverse Skip/Channel Down Volume Control FX85 FUNCTIONS D-Amp SMPS D-Port Connector ID Set Switch MPort

· Type B transmitter uses two ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) to send audio streams from Channel 1 and Channel 2 for the FX65/FX66 surround sound and FX85 second room audio, respectively. Type 2 receiver outputs audio through Channel 2. The software multiplexes which channel to listen to by setting the baseband accordingly. For example, if the receiver is configured as an FX85 receiver (Type 2), the baseband is configured to accept Channel 1 audio transmission and redirect it to Channel 2 Out. If the receiver is set as an FX65/FX66 or wireless subwoofer, the baseband is configured to accept channel 2 audio transmission and redirect it to the same Channel 2 Out.

8.7.6.

Activation

· FX65/FX66 can be activated in the main unit by using either transmitter Type A or Type B and enabling surround sound by selecting Surround Music, DPL or Super Surround (Music/Movie). · FX85 Wireless feature is enabled by default when the user uses transmitter type B.

8.7.7.

LED Indication

· For FX65/FX66, there will be two-color LED that will be used to indicate Power On and Link. If link, the two-color LED will be green, else, it will be red. For FX85, the front panel will have LED indicators for Standby,, Wireless Link, Charge, Option and Music Port. During Power On, Standby LED will be OFF. Only during power OFF will this LED be ON (Red). Wireless Link indicator will be ON (Green) when link is established between TX and RX and OFF when link is lost. Pressing the selector button will toggle from any of the selector modes Wireless, Option and Music port. Only the currently selected mode will be ON (Green), the other two will be OFF. Charge LED will be ON (Red) once iPod charging is initiated.

8.7.8.

Key Operation (FX85)

· Selector Button This button will be used to select Wireless, Option or M.Port and enabling the corresponding LED indicators for each mode. During Power On, by default, selector mode is set to Wireless when power is initially supplied to the system. But during Power On/OFF button, it will remember the last selector mode setting. · Play Button This button will send command to the main unit to play CD/DVD as well as the iPod. This function is therefore meaningful only if the second room selector is in Main Source (with the first room user in CD/DVD or iPod) and iPod. · Stop Button This button will send command to the main unit to stop CD/DVD as well as the iPod. This function is therefore meaningful only if the second room selector is in Main Source (if the first room user is in CD/DVD mode or iPod) and iPod. · Forward Skip/Channel Up This button depends on the second room source currently selected. It will be interpreted as a Forward Skip by the main unit if the second room source is in Main Source (with the first room user is in CD/DVD or iPod mode) and iPod. It will be interpreted as a Channel Up (preset channels only) if the second room source is in FM, AM, or XM. · Reverse Skip/Channel Down This button depends on the second room source currently selected. It will be interpreted as a Reverse Skip by the main unit if the second room source is in Main Source (if the first room user is in CD/DVD or mode) and iPod. It will be interpreted as a Channel Down (preset channels only) if the second room source is in FM, AM, or XM. · Volume Control Volume control will be local to the FX85 module only. Default volume (TBD) will be set every time power is first supplied to the system or during exit from stand by mode. · ID-setting Operation ID setting operation can be invoked by pressing fast-forward key in the main unit and three [3] key in the remocon. Once IDsetting is triggered, the receiver must press its ID-setting button within 60 seconds. During this period, the transmitter will be in open connect mechanism whereby any receiver can pair with the transmitter. After this period elapsed, the transmitter will revert back to using close connect code whereby only those receivers which have the same ID as the transmitter will be able to link. The user also has the option to exit the ID setting operation by pressing the same keys.
