Warning

The servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To avoid personal injury, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer to all safety summaries prior to performing service.

Specifications

Introduction

The material in this section is organized into two main groupings: the specification tables and the supporting figures. The specification tables include:

H NTSC general signal characteristics and test signal specifications. H Signal level specifications. H Power supply, physical, and environmental specifications.

The supporting figures (waveform diagrams and related data) follow the specification tables.
