JVC RX-6040B, Service Manual

(No.MB159)1-3

SECTION 1

PRECAUTION

1.1

Safety Precautions

(1) This design of this product contains special hardware and

many circuits and components specially for safety
purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be
made to the original design unless authorized in writing by
the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to
those used in the original circuits. Services should be
performed by qualified personnel only.

(2) Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should

not be made. Any design alterations of the product should
not be made. Any design alterations or additions will void
the manufacturers warranty and will further relieve the
manufacture of responsibility for personal injury or property
damage resulting therefrom.

(3) Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have

special safety-related characteristics. These
characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection
nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be
obtained by using replacement components rated for
higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which
have these special safety characteristics are identified in
the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical components
having such features are identified by shading on the
schematics and by (   ) on the Parts List in the Service
Manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does
not have the same safety characteristics as the
recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of
Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards.

(4) The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties,

clamps, tubings, barriers and the like to be separated from
live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or
sharp edges for the prevention of electric shock and fire
hazard. When service is required, the original lead routing
and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed
that they have been returned to normal, after
reassembling.

(5) Leakage shock hazard testing

After reassembling the product, always perform an
isolation check on the exposed metal parts of the product
(antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads,
headphone jack, control shafts, etc.) to be sure the product
is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.Do not
use a line isolation transformer during this check.
• Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a

"Leakage Current Tester", measure the leakage  current
from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet,
particularly any exposed metal part having a return path
to the chassis, to a known good earth ground. Any
leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).

• Alternate check method

Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an
AC voltmeter having, 1,000

Ω

 per volt or more sensitivity

in the following manner. Connect a 1,500

Ω

 10W resistor

paralleled by a 0.15

µ

F AC-type capacitor between an

exposed metal part and a known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor with the AC

voltmeter. 
Move the resistor connection to each exposed metal
part, particularly any exposed metal part having a return
path to the chassis, and measure the AC voltage across
the resistor. Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and
repeat each measurement. Voltage measured any must
not exceed 0.75 V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to  0.5
mA AC (r.m.s.). 

1.2

Warning

(1) This equipment has been designed and manufactured to

meet international safety standards.

(2) It is the legal responsibility of the repairer to ensure that

these safety standards are maintained.

(3) Repairs must be made in accordance with the relevant

safety standards.

(4) It is essential that safety critical components are replaced

by approved parts.

(5) If mains voltage selector is provided, check setting for local

voltage.

1.3

Caution

Burrs formed during molding may be left over on some parts
of the chassis. 
Therefore, pay attention to such burrs in the case of
preforming repair of this system.

1.4

Critical parts for safety

In regard with component parts appearing on the silk-screen
printed side (parts side) of the PWB diagrams, the parts that are
printed over with black such as the resistor ( 

 ), diode ( 

 )

and ICP ( 

 ) or identified by the "   " mark nearby are critical

for safety.  When replacing them, be sure to use the parts of the
same type and rating as specified by the manufacturer. 
(This regulation dose not Except the J and C version)

Place this 

probe on 

each exposed

metal part.
