CAUTION: BEFORE SERVICING THE CHASSIS, READ THE “X-RAY RADIATION
PRECAUTION” “SAFETY PRECAUTION” ON PAGE 1 AND “PRODUCT
SAFETY NOTICE” ON PAGE 2 OF THIS MANUAL.
X-RAY RADIATION PRECAUTION
1. Excessive high voltage can produce potentially hazardous X - RAY RADIATION. To avoid such
hazards, the high voltage must not be above the specified limit. The normal value of the high
voltage of this receiver is 28.5kV at zero beam current (minimum brightness) under a 120V AC
power source. The high voltage must not, under any circumstances, exceed 30kV.
2. Each time a receiver requires servicing, the high voltage should be checked following the HIGH
VOLTAGE CHECK procedure in this manual. It is recommended the reading of the high voltage
be recorded as a part of service record. It is important to use an accurate and reliable high voltage
meter.
3. This receiver is equipped with a Fail Safe (FS) circuit which prevents the receiver from
producing an excessively high voltage even if the B+ voltage increases abnormally. Each time the
receiver is serviced, the FS circuit must be checked to determine that the circuit is properly
functioning, following the FS CIRCUIT CHECK procedure in this manual.
4. The primary source of X - RAY RADIATION in this TV receiver is the picture tube. For
continuous X - RAY RADIATION protection, the replacement tube must be exactly the same type
tube as specified in the parts list.
5. Some parts in this receiver have special safety-related characteristics for X - RAY RADIATION
protection. For continuous safety, parts replacement should be undertaken only after referring to
the PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE below.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
WARNING:
Service should not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar with the necessary precaution on this
receiver. The following are the necessary precautions to be observed before servicing this chassis.
1. Since the power supply circuit of this receiver is directly connected to the AC power line, an
isolation transformer should be used during any dynamic service to avoid possible shock hazard.
2. Always discharge the picture tube anode to the CRT conductive coating before handling the
picture tube. The picture tube is highly evacuated and if broken, glass fragments will be violently
expelled. Use shatter proof goggles and keep picture tube away from the unprotected body while
handling.
3. When replacing a chassis in the cabinet, always be certain that all the protective devices are put
back in place, such as: non-metallic control knobs, insulating covers, shields, isolation
resistor-capacitor network etc.
4. When replacing parts or circuit boards, disconnect the power cord.
5. When replacing a high wattage resistor (oxiode metal film resistor) on the circuit board, keep the
resistor 10mm (1/2in) away from circuit board.
6. Connection wires must be kept away from components with high voltage or high temperature.
7. If any fuse in this TV receiver is blown, replace it with the FUSE specified in the chassis parts
list.

8. Before returning the set to your customer, always perform an AC leakage current check on the
exposed metallic parts of the cabinet, such as antennas, terminals, screwheads, metal overlays,
control shafts etc. to be sure the set is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock. Plug the
AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet (do not use a line isolation transformer during this
check). Use an AC voltmeter having 5000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following
manner:
Connect a 1500 ohm 10 watt resistor, paralleled by a 0.15μF, AC type capacitor, between a known
good earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.) and the exposed metallic parts, one at a time. Measure
the AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohm resistor and 0.15 μF capacitor. Reverse the
AC plug at the AC outlet and repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part.
Voltage measured must not exceed 0.3 volts RMS. This corresponds to 0.2 milliamp. AC. Any
value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock hazard and must be corrected immediately.
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in the chassis have special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often passed unnoticed by a visual inspection and the X-RAY
RADIATION protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement
components rated for higher wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual and its supplement electrical components having such
features are shaded on the schematic diagram and the parts list.
Before replacing any of these components, read the parts list in this manual carefully. The use of
substitute replacement parts which do not have the same char acteristic as specified in the parts list
may create shock, fire, X-RAY RADIATION or other hazards.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
GENERAL
In the majority of cases, a color television receiver will need only slight touch-up adjustment upon
installation. Check the basic characteristics such as FS、EHV and focus. Observe the picture for
good black and white details without objectionable color shading. If color shading is evident,
demagnetize the receiver.
If color shading still persists, perform purity and c onvergence adjustments. This should be all that is
necessary to achieve optimum receiver performance.
FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the FOCUS control (on T471) for well defined scanning lines on the picture screen.
HIGH VOLTAGE CHECK
CAUTION: These is no HIGH VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT on this chassis. Checking should be
done following the steps below.
1. Connect an accurate high voltage meter to the second anode of the picture tube.
2. Turn on the receiver. Set the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST controls to minimum (zero beam
current).
3. High voltage will be measured about 28.5kV.
4. Vary the BRIGHTNESS control to both extremes to be sure the high voltage does not exceed the
limit under any conditions.
FS CIRCUIT CHECK
The Fail Safe (FS) circuit check is indispensable for the final check in the servicing. Checking
should be done following the steps below.
- 3 -
1. Turn the power switch on and adjust customer controls for normal operation.
Check that the set returns to normal operation when pin
34 of N101 on the Main Board is grounded with jumper
Power Circuit or Horizontal Circuit
Check if the voltage across capacitor
C411 is approximately 21V.
2. Temporarily short R412 on the Main Board with a jumper wire. Raster and sound will
disappear.
3. The receiver must remain in this state even after removing the jumper wire. This is the evidence
that the FS circuit is functioning properly.
4. To obtain a picture again, temporarily turn the receiver off and allow the FS circuit more than 30
seconds to reset. Then turn the power switch on to produce a normal picture.
