SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTICE: Comply with all cautions and safety-related notes
located on or inside the cover case and on the chassis or
LCD 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 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 (wiredress).
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.
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 monitor set the AC switch rst 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
(USING ADAPTER AS
REQUIRED)
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.
NOTE:
Unplug the AC cord from the power
line before servicing the LCD TV set.
The Main Power Switch does not
completely cut the AC power.

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 identied in this
Service Manual.
Electrical components having such features are identied
with a ! 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,
re, 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

SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
D8MW
CAUTION: Before servicing instruments covered by this
service data and its supplements and addendum, read and
follow the information in previous pages number 2 and 3 of
this publication.
NOTE: If unforeseen circumstances create conict between
the following servicing precautions and any of the safety
precautions on the previous pages 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 specied 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%
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 eld
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 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 classied as “anti-static” can
generate electrical charges sufcient to damage ES
device.
CAUTION: This is a ammable mixture. Unless specied
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 xtures specied in
this service data.
CAUTION: Do not connect the test xture ground strap to
any heatsink in this instrument.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate
electrical charges sufcient 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 oor can generate static electricity
sufcient to damage an ES device.)

D8MW
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 600°F to 800°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 insufcient 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
(600°F to 800°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
(600°F to 800°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 ows 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.)
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.
Use soldering iron to pry the leads.
IC Removal/Replacement
Some Hitachi unitized chassis circuit boards have slotted
holes (oblong) through which the IC leads are inserted
and then bent at 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.
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
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.
D8MW
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.
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.
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.
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
D8MW
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 signicant 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 identied by a two letter code. The
rst letter indicates the type and the second letter, the
grade of transistor.
Chip diodes have a two letter identication 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 ows.
Do not apply heat for more than 3 seconds
