1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ^

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. It is advised to insert an isolation transformer in the AC supply before servicing a hot chassis.

2. Potentials as high as 33KV are present when this receiver is in operation. Operation of the receiver without the rear cover involves the danger of a shock hazard from the receiver power supply. Servicing should not be attempted by any one who is not competent with the precautions necessary when working on the high voltage equipment. Always discharge the anode of the tube.

3. When servicing observe the original lead dress in the high voltage circuits. If a short circuit is found, replace all the parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

4. Always use the manufacturer’s replacement safety components. The critical safety

components marked with

on the schematics diagrams should not be replaced by other substitutes. Other substitute may create the electrical shock, fire or other hazards. Take attention to

and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the receiver, such as screw heads, aerials, connectors, control shafts etc. When the exposed metallic part a return path to the chassis the reading should be between 4Mohm and the 20Mohm. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite.

LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK

1. Plug the AC cord directly in to the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.

2. Connect a 2Kohm 10W resistor in series with an exposed metallic part on the receiver and an earth, such as a water pipe.

3. Use an AC voltmeter with high impedance to measure the potential across the resistor.

4. Check each exposed metallic part and check the voltage at the each point.

5. Reverse the AC plug at the outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.

6. The potential at the any point should not exceed 1.4 Vrms. In case a measurement is outside the limits specified, there is the possibility of a shock hazard, and the receiver should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

replace the spacers with the originals. Furthermore where a short circuit has occurred, replace those components that indicate evidence of overheating.

5. After servicing, see that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation

6. When the receiver is not being used for a long time of period of time, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

7. After servicing make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazard.

LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK

1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs of the plug.

2. Turn the receiver’s power switch on.

3. Measure the resistance value with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug

X-RAY RADIATION WARNING

The primary source of X-ray radiation in this receiver is the picture tube. The chassis is specially constructed to limit X-ray radiation. For continued Xray radiation protection, replace the tube with the same type of the original one.

CAUTION AFTER REMOVAL OF THE ANODE CAP, DISCHARGE THE ANODE OF THE PICTURE TUBE AND THE ANODE CAP TO THE METAL CHASSIS, CRT SHIELD, OR THE CARBON PAINTED ON THE CRT WITH A HIGH VOLTAGE PROBE AND MULTIMETER (SELECT VDC) AND THEN SHORT CIRCUIT DIRECTLY TO DISCHARGE COMPLETELY.

Safety is Important

Your safety and the safety of others is important. Please, therefore, ensure you read the Safety

instructions

before you operate this television.

Safety instructions

Read all the safety instructions before first use of your TV.

• Position the television so that direct light does not fall on the screen. Excessive light will cause a washed out effect.

• Position the power supply lead and other leads so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by things placed on or against them.

• Do not use the appliance in humid or damp conditions. Do not allow the appliance to get wet, i.e. dripping or splashing, as this may be dangerous. Do not place water filled objects, such as vases and flower top on top of the appliance.

• Make sure that no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the appliance.

• Do not place the television near heat sources such as radiators, ovens, stoves, etc.

• Do not use the television near any apparatus that produces a magnetic field such as HI-FI speakers or electric motors otherwise colourpurity may be affected.

• The heat built up in the set escapes through ventilation holes, so do not cover the set by drapes, clothes etc. that may block air circulation. Do not place the television on carpet or soft furnishings.

• NEVER let children push anything into the holes or slots on the case.

• Clean the TV Screen using a slightly damp cloth or chamois leather. Never use abrasive cleaning agents like liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• Remove the mains plug from the socket outlet while cleaning.

• If you wish to place the television on a shelf or in a wall unit always ensure there is a minimum air gap of 8 cm around the top, sides and rear of the television, to assist ventilation.

• Your TV set is designed to operate with mains voltages 230V AC; 50Hz. Do not connect your TV set to power sources other than the mains supply.
