IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
WHEN SERVICING THIS CHASSIS, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE ORIGINAL DESIGN BE
MODIFIED OR ALTETED WITHOUT PERMISSION
FROM THE ZENITH ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
ALL COMPONENTS SHOULD BE REPLACED ONLY
WITH TYPES IDENTICAL TO THOSE IN THE ORIGI-
NALCIRCUITSPECIALCOMPONTS ARE SHADED ON
THE SCHEMATIC FOR EASY IDENTIFICATION.
THIS CIRCUIT DIAGRAM MAY OCCASIONALLY DIFFER FROM THE ACTUAL CIRCUIT USED. THIS WAY,
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LATEST SAFETY AND
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT CHANGES INTO
THE SET IS NOT DELAYED UNTILTHE NEW SERVICE
LITERATURE IS PRINTED.
NOTE :
1. Shaded( ) parts are critical for safety. Replace only
with specified part number.
2. Voltages are DC-measured with a digital voltmeter
during Play mode.
