1. The design of this product contains special hardware, many
circuits and components specially for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the original
design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original
circuits. Service should be performed by qualified personnel
only.
2. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the products should not
be made. Any design alterations or additions will void the
manufacturer's warranty and will further relieve the manufacturer of responsibility for personal injury or property damage
resulting therefrom.
3. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related characteristics. These characteristics 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 the parts list of Service manual. Electrical
components having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by (!) on the parts list in Service manual. The use of a substitute replacement which does
not have the same safety characteristics as the recommended
replacement part shown in the parts list of Service manual may
cause shock, fire, or other hazards.
4. Don't short between the LIVE side ground and ISOLATED
(NEUTRAL) side ground or EARTH side ground when repairing.
Some model's power circuit is partly different in the GND. The
difference of the GND is shown by the LIVE : (#) side GND,
the ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) : (") side GND and EARTH : ($)
side GND. Don't short between the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND or EARTH side GND and never
measure with a measuring apparatus (oscilloscope etc.) the
LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND or
EARTH side GND at the same time.
If above note will not be kept, a fuse or any parts will be broken.
5. If any repair has been made to the chassis, it is recommended
that the B1 setting should be checked or adjusted (See ADJUSTMENT OF B1 POWER SUPPLY).
6. The high voltage applied to the picture tube must conform with
that specified in Service manual. Excessive high voltage can
cause an increase in X-Ray emission, arcing and possible component damage, therefore operation under excessive high voltage conditions should be kept to a minimum, or should be prevented. If severe arcing occurs, remove the AC power immediately and determine the cause by visual inspection (incorrect
installation, cracked or melted high voltage harness, poor soldering, etc.). To maintain the proper minimum level of soft XRay emission, components in the high voltage circuitry including the picture tube must be the exact replacements or alternatives approved by the manufacturer of the complete product.
8. When service is required, observe the original lead dress. Extra precaution should be given to assure correct lead dress in
the high voltage circuit area. Where a short circuit has occurred,
those components that indicate evidence of overheating should
be replaced. Always use the manufacturer's replacement components.
9. Isolation Check
(Safety for Electrical Shock Hazard)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation
check on the exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antenna terminals, video/audio input and output terminals, Control knobs,
metal cabinet, screw heads, earphone jack, control shafts, etc.)
to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical shock.
(1) Dielectric Strength Test
The isolation between the AC primary circuit and all metal parts
exposed to the user, particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis should withstand a voltage of
3000V AC (r.m.s.) for a period of one second.
(. . . . Withstand a voltage of 1100V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance
rated up to 120V, and 3000V AC (r.m.s.) to an appliance rated
200V or more, for a period of one second.)
This method of test requires a test equipment not generally
found in the service trade.
(2) Leakage Current Check
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet (do not use a
line isolation transformer during this check.). Using a "Leakage
Current Tester", measure the leakage current from each exposed metal part of the cabinet, particularly any exposed metal
part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth
ground (water pipe, etc.). Any leakage current must not exceed
0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.2mA AC
(r.m.s.).
●Alternate Check Method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet (do not use a
line isolation transformer during this check.). Use an AC voltmeter having 1000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1500Ω 10W resistor paralleled by a
0.15µF AC-type capacitor between an exposed metal part and
a known good earth ground (water pipe, etc.). Measure the AC
voltage across the resistor with the AC voltmeter. Move the
resistor connection to each exposed metal part, particularly any
exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, and
measure the AC voltage across the resistor. Now, reverse the
plug in the AC outlet and repeat each measurement. Any voltage measured must not exceed 0.75V AC (r.m.s.). This corresponds to 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
However, in tropical area, this must not exceed 0.3V AC (r .m.s.).
This corresponds to 0.2mA AC (r.m.s.).
7. Do not check high voltage by drawing an arc. Use a high voltage meter or a high voltage probe with a VTVM. Discharge the
picture tube before attempting meter connection, by connecting a clip lead to the ground frame and connecting the other
end of the lead through a 10kΩ 2W resistor to the anode button.

DEFLECTION CIRCUIT ADJUSTMENT
● There are 2 modes of adjustment (initial setting value) — 50Hz mode and 60Hz mode — depending upon the kind of signals (vertical
frequency 50Hz / 60Hz).
● When adjusted in 50Hz mode, 60Hz mode will be automatically set.
The setting (adjustment) using the remote control unit is made on the basis of the initial setting values.
The setting values which adjust the screen to the optimum condition can be different from the initial setting values.
Note: The picture tube includes the deflection yoke and purity magnets, and purity and convergence adjustments are precisely adjusted
at the factory.
PURITY ADJUSTMENT
1. Demagnetize CRT with the demagnetizer.
2. Loosen the retainer screw of the deflection yoke.
3. Remove the wedges. (Fig. 1.)
4. Input a green raster signal from the signal generator, and turn
the screen to green raster.
5. Move the deflection yoke backward.
6. Bring the long lug of the purity magnets on the short lug and
position them horizontally. (Fig. 2)
7. Adjust the gap between two lugs so that the green raster will
come into the center of the screen. (Fig. 3)
8. Move the deflection yoke forward, and fix the position of the
deflection yoke so that the whole screen will become green.
9. Insert the wedge to the top side of the deflection yoke so that it
will not move.

SELF-CHECK FUNCTIONS
1. Outline
This model has self-check functions given below. When an abnormality has been detected, the SUB POWER is turned off and the ON
TIMER LED flashes to inform of the failure. An abnormality is detected by the signal input state of the control line connected to the
microcomputer.
2. Self-check items
Check item
Over-current protection
Details of detection
An over-current on the low B line
is detected.
CRT NECK protection
Operation of CRT NECK protection circuit
3. Self-check indicating function
At about 3 seconds after the power is turned on, the self-check
function starts.
In the case where an abnormality has been detected within
the subsequent 2 seconds, the ON TIMER LED flashes, but
the SUB-POWER will be turned on when the elapsed time after power on reaches 5 seconds.
When an abnormality has been detected at about 5 seconds
after power on, the ON TIMER LED flashes, and then the SUB
POWER will be turned off immediately.
Method of detection
The main microcomputer detects
the possible abnormality at 30msec. intervals and judges the results in every 16 time. Of the 16
times, if NG is detected more
than 9 times, it is judged that
there is an abnormality.

This model’s power circuit is partly different in the GND. The difference of the GND is shown by the LIVE : (#) side GND and the
ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) : (") side GND. Therefore, care must be
taken for the following points.
(1)Do not touch the LIVE side GND or the LIVE side GND and the
ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND simultaneously. If the above
caution is not respected, an electric shock may be caused.
Therefore, make sure that the power cord is surely removed from
the receptacle when, for example, the chassis is pulled out.
(2)Do not short between the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEU-
TRAL) side GND or never measure with a measuring apparatus
(oscilloscope, etc.) the LIVE side GND and ISOLATED (NEUTRAL) side GND at the same time. If the above precaution is
not respected , a fuse or any parts will be broken.
● Since the circuit diagram is a standard one, the circuit and
circuit constants may be subject to change for improvement
without any notice.
