PT3-E/G AVC3-U

NOTICE: Comply with all cautions and safety-related notes

located on or inside the cover case and on the chassis or plasma module. WARNING: Since the chassis of the AVC unit and Plasma Panel unit is connected to both sides of the AC power supply during operation, whenever the receiver is plugged in, service should not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar with the precautions necessary when working on this type of receiver.

1. When service is required, an isolation transformer should be inserted between power line and the receiver before any service is performed on a “HOT” chassis receiver.

2. When replacing a chassis in the receiver, all the protective devices must be put back in place, such as barriers, nonmetallic knobs, insulating cover-shields, and isolation resistors, capacitors, etc.

3. When service is required, observe the original lead dress.

4. Always use manufacturer’s replacement components. Critical components as indicated on the circuit diagram should not be replaced by another manufacturer’s. Furthermore, where a short circuit has occurred, replace those components that indicate evidence of over heating.

5. Before returning a serviced receiver to the customer, the service technician must thoroughly test the unit to be certain that it is completely safe to operate without danger of electrical shock, and be sure that no protective device built into the receiver by the manufacturer has become defective, or inadvertently defeated during servicing.

Therefore, the following checks should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.

Leakage Current Cold Check

With the AC plug removed from the 120V AC 60Hz source, place a jumper across Line 1 and Line 2 of the three plug prongs, do not connect with the third prong, which is physical ground. Using an insulation tester (DC500V), connect one of its leads to the AC plug jumper and touch with the other lead each exposed metal part (antennas, screwheads, metal overlays, control shafts, etc.), particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis should have a resistor reading over 4MΩ. Any resistance value below this range indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. An exposed metal part not having a return path to the chassis will indicate an open circuit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Leakage Current Hot Check

This check must be done considering the AVC or the PDP monitor as one instrument each. With any of the instruments completely reassembled (being the instrument either the AVC center or the PDP monitor), plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.0 Leakage Current for Appliances. In the case of the PDP monitor set the AC switch first in the ON position and then in the OFF position, measure from across Line 1 and Line 2 of the three plug prongs, do not connect with the third prong, which is physical ground, to all exposed metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screw heads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 MIU. Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat test.

AC LEAKAGE TEST

ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER TO THE CUSTOMER.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in HITACHI television receivers have special safety-related characteristics. These 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 this Service Manual.

Electrical components having such features are identified with a 1 mark in the schematics and parts list in this Service Manual.

The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as the HITACHIrecommended replacement component, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, X-radiation, or other hazards.

Product safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current HITACHI Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies of HITACHI Service Manuals may be obtained at a nominal charge from HITACHI Sales Corporation.

AVC50 - Audio Video Control Unit

1. Follow the general caution recommendations from “Safety precautions” section.

32HDT50M/55M - Plasma Monitor Unit 42HDT50M/55M - Plasma Monitor Unit

1. Follow the general caution recommendations from “Safety precautions” section.

2. Since the Panel module and front filter are made of glass, sufficient care shall be taken when handling the broken module and filter in order to avoid injury.

3. If necessary to replace Panel module, this work must be started after the panel module and the AC/DC Power supply becomes sufficiently cool.

4. Special care must be taken with the display area to avoid damaging its surface.

5. The Panel Module shall not be touched with bare hands to protect its surface from stains.

6. It is recommended to use clean soft gloves during the replacing work of the Panel module in order to protect, not only the display area of the panel module but also the serviceman.

7. The Chip Tube of the panel module (located upper left of the back of the panel module) and flexible cables connecting Panel glasses to the drive circuitry Printed Wiring Boards (P.W.B.) are very weak, so sufficient care must be taken to prevent breaking or cutting any of these. If the Chip Tube breaks the panel module will never work, replacement for a new plasma panel module will be needed.

8. Signal, power supply P.W.B.’s and PDP driving circuits P. W.B.’s are assembled on the rear side of the PDP module, take special care with this fragile circuitry; particularly, Flexible Printed Circuits bonded to surrounding edges of the glass panel. They are not strong enough to withstand harsh outer mechanical forces. Avoid touching the flexible printed circuits by not only your hands, but also tools, chassis, or any other object. Extreme bending of the connectors must be avoided too. In case the flexible printed circuits are damaged, the corresponding addressed portions of the screen will not be lit and exchange of a glass panel will be required.

PDP Module Handling

When there is need to replace a broken PDP module which is the displaying device from the Plasma monitor unit, consider the following:

1. When carrying the PDP module, two persons should stand at both shorter-edge sides of the glass-panel and transport it with their palms. Avoid touching the Flexible Printed Circuits or the chip tube on the corner of the glass-panel. Handle only by the surface of the glass panel. In case of some PDP modules, electrode repair is done by connecting between regular terminal with Cu tape and Cu wire. Please do not hook and/or damage this repair line. If it is damaged, the module will not function unless the glass-panel is exchanged with a new glass-panel.

2. When carrying PDP module, watch surrounding objects, such as tables, and also do not carry it alone since it may be dangerous and it will be damaged due to excessive stress to the module (glass-panel).

3. Please do not stand the module with the edge of the glasspanel on the table since this might result in damage to the glass-panel and/or flexible printed circuits due to excessive stress to the module (glass-panel).

WARNING

Lead in solder used in this product is listed by the California Health and Welfare agency as a known reproductive toxicant which may cause birth defects or other reproductive harm (California Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.5).

When servicing or handling circuit boards and other components which contain lead in solder, avoid unprotected skin contact with solder. Also, when soldering make sure you are in a well ventilated area in order to avoid inhalation of any smoke or fumes released.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PT3-E/G AVC3-U

CAUTION: Before servicing instruments covered by this

service data and its supplements and addenda, read and follow the “Important Safety Instructions” on page 3 of this publication. NOTE: If unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions on page 3 of this publication, always follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.

General Servicing Guidelines

1. Always unplug the instrument AC power cord from the AC power source before: a. Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit

board, module, or any other instrument assembly.

b. Disconnecting or reconnecting any instrument

electrical plug or other electrical connection.

c. Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an

electrolytic capacitor in the instrument.

CAUTION: A wrong part substitution or incorrect

polarity installation of electrolytic capacitors may result in an explosion hazard.

2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this instrument or any of its assemblies.

3. Unless specified otherwise in these service data, clean electrical contacts by applying the following mixture to the contacts with a pipe cleaner, cotton-tipped stick or comparable nonabrasive applicator: 10% (by volume) Acetone and 90% (by volume) isopropyl alcohol (90%99% strength). CAUTION: This is a flammable mixture. Unless

specified otherwise in these service data, lubrication of contacts is not required.

4. Do not defeat any plug/socket of voltage interlocks with which instruments covered by this service data might be equipped.

5. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device heatsinks are correctly installed.

6. Always connect the test instrument ground lead to the appropriate instrument chassis ground before connecting the test instrument positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground lead last.

7. Use with this instrument only the test fixtures specified in this service data. CAUTION: Do not connect the test fixture ground strap

to any heatsink in this instrument.

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 fieldeffect transistors and semiconductor “chip” components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, 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 desolder ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static type solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES device.

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 sufficient to damage an ES device.)

SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

PT3-E/G AVC3-U

General Soldering Guidelines

1. Use a grounded-tip, low-wattage soldering iron and appropriate tip size and shape that will maintain tip temperature within the range 500°F to 600°F.

2. Use an appropriate gauge of resin-core solder composed of 60 parts tin/40 parts lead.

3. Keep the soldering iron tip clean and well-tinned.

4. Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be soldered. Use a small wire-bristle (0.5 inch or 1.25 cm) brush with a metal handle. Do not use freon-propelled spray-on cleaners.

5. Use the following desoldering technique. a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normal

temperature (500°F to 600°F).

b. Heat the component lead until the solder melts.

Quickly draw away the melted solder with an antistatic, suction-type solder removal device or with solder braid.

CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating the

circuit board printed foil.

6. Use the following soldering technique. a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normal

temperature (500°F to 600°F).

b. First, hold the soldering iron tip and solder strand

against the component lead until the solder melts.

c. Quickly move the soldering iron tip to the junction of

the component lead and the printed circuit foil, and hold it there only until the solder flows onto and around both the component lead and the foil.

CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating the

circuit board printed foil or components.

d. Closely inspect the solder area and remove any

excess or splashed solder with a small wire-bristle brush.

Removal

1. Desolder and straighten each IC lead in one operation by gently prying up on the lead with the soldering iron tip as the solder melts.

2. Draw away the melted solder with an anti-static suctiontype solder removal device (or with solder braid) before removing the IC.

Replacement

1. Carefully insert the replacement IC in the circuit board.

2. Carefully bend each IC lead against the circuit foil pad and solder it.

3. Clean the soldered areas with a small wire-bristle brush. (It is not necessary to reapply acrylic coating to areas.)

“Small-signal” Discrete Transistor Removal/Replacement

1. Remove the defective transistor by clipping its leads as close as possible to the component body.

2. Bend into a “U” shape the end of each of the three leads remaining on the circuit board.

3. Bend into a “U” shape the replacement transistor leads.

4. Connect the replacement transistor leads to the corresponding leads extending from the circuit board and crimp the “U” with long nose pliers to insure metal to metal contact, then solder each connection.

Power Output Transistor Devices Removal/Replacements

1. Heat and remove all solder from around the transistor leads.

2. Remove the heatsink mounting screw (if so equipped).

3. Carefully remove the transistor from the circuit board.

4. Insert new transistor in circuit board.

5. Solder each transistor lead, and clip off excess lead.

6. Replace heatsink.

Diode Removal/Replacement

1. Remove defective diode by clipping its leads as close as possible to diode body.

2. Bend the two remaining leads perpendicularly to the circuit board.

3. Observing diode polarity, wrap each lead of the new diode around the corresponding lead on the circuit board.

4. Securely crimp each connection and solder it.

5. Inspect (on the circuit board copper side) the solder joints of the two “original leads”. If they are not shiny, reheat them and, if necessary, apply additional solder.

IC Removal/Replacement

Some Hitachi unitized chassis circuit boards have slotted holes (oblong) through which the IC leads are inserted and then bent flat against the circuit foil. When holes are the slotted type, the following technique should be used to remove and replace the IC. When working with boards using the familiar round hole, use the standard technique as outlined in paragraphs 5 and 6 above.

Use Soldering Iron to Pry Leads

PT3-E/G AVC3-U

Fuses and Conventional Resistor Removal/Replacement

1. Clip each fuse or resistor lead at top of circuit board hollow stake.

2. Securely crimp leads of replacement component around stake 1/8 inch from top.

3. Solder the connections. CAUTION: Maintain original spacing between the

replaced component and adjacent components and the circuit board, to prevent excessive component temperatures.

Circuit Board Foil Repair

Excessive heat applied to the copper foil of any printed circuit board will weaken the adhesive that bonds the foil to the circuit board, causing the foil to separate from, or “liftoff,” the board. The following guidelines and procedures should be followed whenever this condition is encountered.

In Critical Copper Pattern Areas High component/copper pattern density and/or special voltage/current characteristics make the spacing and integrity of copper pattern in some circuit board areas more critical than in others. The circuit foil in these areas is designated as Critical Copper Pattern. Because Critical Copper Pattern requires special soldering techniques to ensure the maintenance of reliability and safety standards, contact your Hitachi personnel.

At IC Connections To repair defective copper pattern at IC connections, use the following procedure to install a jumper wire on the copper pattern side of the circuit board. (Use this technique only on IC connections.)

1. Carefully remove the damaged copper pattern with a sharp knife. (Remove only as much copper as absolutely necessary.)

2. Carefully scratch away the solder resist and acrylic coating (if used) from the end of the remaining copper pattern.

3. Bend a small “U” in one end of a small-gauge jumper wire and carefully crimp it around the IC pin. Solder the IC connection.

4. Route the jumper wire along the path of the cut-away copper pattern and let it overlap the previously scraped end of the good copper pattern. Solder the overlapped area, and clip off any excess jumper wire.

1. Remove the defective copper pattern with a sharp knife. Remove at least 1/4 inch of copper, to ensure hazardous condition will not exist if the jumper wire opens.

2. Trace along the copper pattern from both wire sides of the pattern break and locate the nearest component directly connected to the affected copper pattern.

3. Connect insulated 20-gauge jumper wire from the nearest component on one side of the pattern break to the lead of the nearest component on the other side. Carefully crimp and solder the connections.

CAUTION: Be sure the insulated jumper wire is

dressed so that it does not touch components or sharp edges.

MH DIODE

RESISTOR

Leadless Chip Components (surface mount)

Chip components must be replaced with identical chips due to critical foil track spacing. There are no holes in the board to mount standard transistors or diodes. Some chip capacitor or resistor board solder pads may have holes through the board, however the hole diameter limits standard resistor replacement to 1/8 watt. Standard capacitors may also be limited for the same reason. It is recommended that identical chip components be used. . Chip resistors have a three digit numerical resistance code -1st and 2nd significant digits and a multiplier. Example: 162 = 1600 or 1.6KΩ resistor, 0 = 0Ω (jumper). Chip capacitors generally do not have the value indicated on the capacitor. The color of the component indicates the general range of the capacitance. Chip transistors are identified by a two letter code. The first letter indicates the type and the second letter, the grade of transistor. Chip diodes have a two letter identification code as per the code chart and are a dual diode pack with either common anode or common cathode. Check the parts list for correct diode number.

Component Removal

1. Use solder wick to remove solder from component end caps or terminals.

2. Without pulling up, carefully twist the component with tweezers to break the adhesive.

3. Do not reuse removed leadless or chip components since they are subject to stress fracture during removal .

Chip Component Installation

1. Put a small amount of solder on the board soldering pads.

2. Hold the chip component against the soldering pads with tweezers or with a miniature alligator clip and apply heat to the pad area with a 30 watt iron until solder flows. Do not apply heat for more than 3 seconds

How to Replace Flat-lC —Required Tools—

• Soldering iron • iron wire or small awl

• De-solder braids • Magnifier

1. Remove the solder from all of the pins of a Flat-lC by using a de-solder braid.

2. Put the iron wire under the pins of the Flat-lC and pull it in the direction indicated while heating the pins using a soldering iron. A small awl can be used instead of the iron wire.

3. Remove the solder from all of the pads of the Fiat-lC by using a de-solder braid.

4. Position the new Flat-lC in place (apply the pins of the Flat-lC to the soldering pads where the pins need to be soldered). Properly determine the positions of the soldering pads and pins by correctly aligning the polarity symbol.

6. Check with a magnifier for solder bridge between

the pins or for dry joint between pins and soldering pads. To remove a solder bridge, use a de-solder braid as shown in the figure below.

NOTE: These components are affixed with glue. Be careful not to break or damage any foil under the component or at the pins of the ICs when removing. Usually applying heat to the component for a short time while twisting with tweezers will break the component loose.

BASIC SETUP & OPERATION

VIEWING

The major benefit of the HITACHI Plasma Television is its large viewing screen. To see this large screen at its best, test various locations in the room to find the optimum spot for viewing. The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of the TV and about 8 to 18 feet from the screen. During daylight hours, reflections from outside light may appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screens can be used to reduce the reflection or the TV can be located in a different section of the room. If the TV’s audio output will be connected to a Hi-Fi system’s external speakers, the best audio performance will be obtained by placing the speakers equidistant from each side of the receiver cabinet and as close as possible to the height of the picture screen center. For best stereo separation, place the external speakers at least four feet from the side of the TV, place the surround speakers to the side or behind the viewing area. Differences in room sizes and acoustical environments will require some experimentation with speaker placement for best performance.

A buzzing sound might be heard when the plasma display monitor is turned on in a very quiet room. This is due to the plasma panel drive circuit when it is functioning. This arching sound is normal and it is not a malfunction.

Some infrared rays are emitted from the plasma display monitor’s panel that might affect other infrared controlling equipment.

High-precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma display panel; But in some cases, there are minor defects in some parts of the screen. Points that do not light, points with brightness different from that of the periphery, points with color different from that of the periphery, etc. Some pixels will always be on or always off. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

When receving still picture signals, (e.g. channel number indication or clock indication) for a while, you can see image-like when the picture varied. This is not a defect.

The plasma display panel is lighting the phosphors by the discharge of internal radiation. In some cases, this may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that this is not a malfunction. The Plasma TV surface temperature is higher than a Cathode-ray-tube.

The plasma panel is made from glass. Heavy shock on the front panel might damage it.

When the PDP monitor is transported horizontally, the glass panel has the possibility of being broken or increasing the picture defects. At the time of transportation, horizontal style is prohibited. More-over, please treat the plasma panel with great care because of a precision apparatus. Please instruct transporters so that it should be put into the packing box at the time of shipment.(There is a possibility that breakage of the panel or defects will increase.) Rough transportation might cause damage to the panel and pixel failure.

The plasma monitor illuminates phosphor to display images. The phosphor has a finite illumination life. After extended periods of illumination, the brightness of the phosphor will be degraded to such extent that stationary images would burn-in that part of the screen as grayed-out images. Tips to prevent such image retention are:

- Do not display images having sharp brightness differences or hi-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for long.

- Do not leave stationary images appearing for long, but try to refresh them at appropriate intervals of time, or try to move them using screen saver function.

-Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.

PDP television has luminosity and low contrast compared with CRT television.

When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible to a dark part.

If an apparatus (VCR, etc.) antenna line is arranged near the monitor, the image may shake, or disturbance may be received.

There is some time lag betweeen the picture and the sound. You can see lip motion that is delayed compared to the sound.

Electric discharge/luminescence characteristic of the PDP panel also changes with peripheral temperature. Moreover, since there is also high power consumption value, a specified temperature environment is required.

Storing the plasma television for a period of more than 2 to 3 months without use might cause an unstable picture when the set is turned on.

Operating altitude: 800 to 1114hPa (6194ft to -2484ft). Operating temperature: 41ûF to 95ûF.

Storage Altitude: 300 to 1114hPa (31,912 to -2484ft). Storage temperature: 5ûF to 140ûF.

Frequent use of the Power ON or OFF might trigger the power protection circuit. If the TV does not turn ON, please wait a little before turning ON again.

Securing to a table-top

1. Using wood screws (two) fasten the set to the clamping screw holes on the rear of the Plasma Display stand as shown below.

2. Using commercially available wood screws, secure the set firmly in position.

To take measures to prevent the Plasma Display from tipping over and prevent possible injury it is important to mount the unit in a stable place.

Caution when moving the main unit

As this product is heavy, whenever it is moved, two people are required to transport it safely. Whenever the unit is moved it should be lifted forward using the two handgrips at the back, and the unit should then be held at the base on both sides for stability. When moving the Display Monitor, lift the handles and the bottom frame as shown below. Do not grab the speakers or the back cover when lifting.

NOTES: 1.

Do not block the ventilation holes of the Plasma Display monitor or the AVC center. Blocking the ventillation holes might cause fire or defect.

2. The plasma television has two AC cords, one on the AVC center and the other on the Plasma Display monitor. In case of an abnormal symptom, unplug both AC cords.

3. If you purchased the wall mount bracket option, please ask for professional installer. Do not install by yourself.

ANTENNA

Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best performance. However, if you are located in an exceptionally good signal area that is free from interference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor antenna may be sufficient.

LOCATION

Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen. Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the set. To avoid cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased chance of set failure, do not place the TV where temperatures can become excessively hot, for example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.

Securing to a wall

1. Keep the Plasma Display monitor four inches away from the wall except those hung to the wall mount bracket.

2. Secure the monitor to the wall as shown below.

•Asingle VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line output (INPUT: 4 in the example on page 23). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on line input-output connections.

• Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.

• COMPONENT: Y-PBPR (Input 1 & 2) connections are provided for high performance components, such as DVD players and settop-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your device has this feature.

•Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y output to the TV’s PBinput and the components R-Y output to the TV’s PRinput.

•Your component outputs may be labeled Y-CBCR. In this case, connect the components CBoutput to the TV’s PBinput and the components CRoutput to the TV’s PRinput.

• It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the Y-PBPRinputs.

•To ensure no copyright infringement, the MONITOR OUT output will be abnormal, when using the

Y-PBP

jacks.

• Input 1 can accept component

Y-PBPRsignal only.

• Input 2 can accept both component Y-PBPRand composite video signal.

•You may use VIDEO or S-VIDEO inputs to connect to INPUT 3, 4 or 5, but only one of these, VIDEO or S-VIDEO, may be used at a time for each input. S-VIDEO has priority over VIDEO.
