SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTICE: Comply with all cautions and safety-related notes

located on or inside the cover case and on the chassis or
module.

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 any-

one 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.

DW3G

Leakage Current Hot Check

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 LCD, set the AC cable first
in the plugged position and then in the unplugged 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.

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.

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

SERVICING PRECAUTIONS

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.

DW3G

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.

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.

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.)

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 lead free solder (see page 8). Lead
solder can be used, but there is a possibility of failure due
to insufficient strength of the solder.

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.

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.

d. Closely inspect the solder area and remove any

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

Use Soldering Iron to Pry Leads

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.

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.

5

DW3G

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 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.

DEFECTIVE
COPPER
REMOVED

Insulated 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.

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.

BARE JUMPER
WIRE

CRIMP AND
SOLDER

Install Jumper Wire and Solder

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.

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.

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.

6

DW3G

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.

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

* Please adjust the wire length to avoid
touching the wall when turning the TV.

NOTES: 1. Do not block the ventilation holes of the

LCD Television. Blocking the ventilation

holes might cause fire or defect.

2. In case of an abnormal symptom, unplug
the AC cord.

3. If you purchased the wall mount bracket

option, please ask for professional installer.

Do not install by yourself.

4. Install the unit at a proper area where it does

not expose anyone to any danger of hitting

themselves (for example their hands, head

or face, etc.) against the edge of the unit and
cause personal injury.

5. If the Power Swivel feature will not be

used, the LCD television should be

secured to the wall as shown in

fig. (a).

6. If the Power Swivel feature will be used,

the LCD television should be secured
to the wall as shown in

fig. (b).

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 top
and base on both sides of the Television for stability.

When moving the Television, lift the handles , then
support the bottom frame as shown below.

ANTENNA

Unless your LCD 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. In order to prevent an internal temperature
increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the
sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)
from the top of the television to the ceiling. 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.

How to set up your new HITACHI LCD Television

VIEWING

The best picture is seen by sitting directly in front of
the TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the screen.

DW3G

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.
