NOTICE: Comply with all cautions and safety-related notes located on or inside the cabinet and on the chassis or optic unit.

WARNING: Since the chassis of this receiver is connected to one side 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.

The following precautions should be observed:

1. Do not install, remove, or handle the optic unit in any manner unless shatterproof goggles are worn. People not so equipped should be kept away from the optic unit while handling.

2. 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.

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

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

5. Always use the 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 overheating.

6. 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 the two plug prongs. Using an insulation tester (DC500V), connect one lead to the jumpered AC plug and touch the other lead to 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 minimum resistor reading of 2.4M and a maximum resistor reading of 5.2M. Any resistance value below or above this range indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. An exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis will indicate an open circuit.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Leakage Current Hot Check

Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC 60Hz outlet (do not use an isolated transformer for this check). Turn the AC power ON. Using a Leakage Current Tester (Simpson’s Model 228 or equivalent), measure for current from all exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antennas, screwheads, overlays, control shafts, etc.) particularly any exposed metal

part having a return path to the chassis or to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.). Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 MIU.

LC37/LC37F

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 an

! 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 HITACHI-recommended replacement component, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards.

Production 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.

Ultraviolet Radiation OPTIC UNIT: The primary source of Ultraviolet Radiation in this

receiver is the optic unit. The optic unit utilized in this chassis is specially constructed to limit Ultraviolet Radiation emissions. For continued Ultraviolet Radiation protection, the replacement optic unit must be the same type as the original HITACHI-approved type.

Service Personnel - WARNING Eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the lamp used in this product. Always turn off lamp before opening optic unit. Ultraviolet radiation eye protection required during servicing.

When troubleshooting and making test measurements in a receiver with an excessive high voltage problem, avoid being unnecessarily close to the optic unit and the high voltage component.

Do not operate the chassis longer than is necessary to locate the cause of excessive voltage.

This Service Manual is intended for qualified service technicians; it is not meant for the casual do-it-yourselfer. Qualified technicians have the necessary test equipment and tools, and have been trained to properly and safely repair complex products such as those covered by this manual. Improperly performed repairs can adversely affect the safety and reliability of the product and may void warranty. Consumers should not risk trying to do the necessary repairs and should refer to a qualified service technician.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LC37/LC37F

CAUTION: Before servicing instruments covered by this service data and its supplements and addenda, read and follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS on page 2 of this publication. NOTE: If unforseen circumstances create conflict between the following SERVICING PRECAUTIONS and any of the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS on page 2 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 electrolyt-

ic 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) ispropyle alchohol (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 B+ 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 heat-sinks 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 field-effect 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 build-up 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LC37/LC37F

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 wirebristle (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 anti-static, suctiontype 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 sodering 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.

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.

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 suction-type sol der 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 three leads remaining on the circuit board.

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

4. Connect to 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/Replacement

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 possilbe 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.

Use Soldering Iron to Pry Leads

LC37/LC37F

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 “lift-off” 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 area 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.

At Other Connections

Use the following technique to repair defective copper pattern at

connections other than IC Pins. This technique involves the installation of a jumper wire on the component side of the circuit board.

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.

Frequency Synthesis (FS) Tuning Systems

1. Always unplug the instrument AC power cord before disconnecting or reconnecting FS tuning system cables and before removing or inserting FS tuning system modules.

2. The FS tuner must never be disconnected from the FS tuning control module while the power is applied to the instrument.

3. When troubleshooting intermittent problems that might be caused by defective cable connection(s) to the FS tuning system, remove the instrument AC power as soon as the defective connector is found and finish confirming the bad connection with a continuity test. This procedure will reduce the probability of electrical overstress of the FS system semi-conductor components.

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 FlatlC 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. A small number of missing, discolored, or lit all the time dots or pixels is characteristic of TFT LCD technology due to manufacturing process for such technology irrespective of manufacturer. If your LCD has defective pixels, it should not be considered defective.

2. Since LCD Rear PTV incorporates a high pressure lamp to display an image, it may take about one minute for the picture to become stable, after the power has been turned on. After extended use, the picture may darken, the color may look unusual, or the lamp “goes out,” (burns out). You may hear a “pop” sound when the lamp “goes out.” These are common characteristics of the lamp, and should not be considered defective.

3. LCD Rear PTV incorporates an advanced cooling fan system to prevent from overheating. If you hear the cooling fan, it should not be considered defective.

4. If you hear a “cracking” sound from the TV cabinet, it is due to the TV’s cabinet expanding and contracting due to room temperature changes. It has no effect on the TV’s functions.
