PRODUCT SAFETY SERVICING GUIDELINES FOR AUDIO-VIDEO PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
This manual was prepared for use only by properly trained audio-video service
technicians.
When servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original
design be modified or altered without permission from Zenith Electronics
Corporation. All components should be replaced only with types identical to
those in the original circuit and their physical location, wiring and lead dress
must conform to original layout upon completion of repairs.
Special components are also used to prevent x-radiation, shock and fire hazard.
These components are indicated by the letter “x” included in their component
designators and are required to maintain safe performance. No deviations are
allowed without prior approval by Zenith Electronics Corporation.
Circuit diagrams 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 until the new service literature is printed.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify this product in any way. Never perform
customized installations without manufacturer’s approval. Unauthorized
modifications will not only void the warranty, but may lead to property damage
or user injury.
Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with
these safety checks and servicing guidelines.
GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the service personnel to important safety information in
the service literature.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the service personnel to the presence
of noninsulated “dangerous voltage” that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
The pictorial representation of a fuse and its rating within an
equilateral triangle is intended to convey to the service personnel
the following fuse replacement caution notice:
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE,
REPLACE ALL FUSES WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING AS MARKED
NEAR EACH FUSE.
SERVICE INFORMATION
While servicing, use an isolation transformer for protection from AC line shock.
After the original service problem has been corrected, make a check of the
following:
FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
1. Be sure that all components are positioned to avoid a possibility of
adjacent component shorts. This is especially important on items transported to and from the repair shop.
2. Verify that all protective devices such as insulators, barriers, covers,
shields, strain reliefs, power supply cords, and other hardware have been
reinstalled per the original design. Be sure that the safety purpose of the
polarized line plug has not been defeated.
3. Soldering must be inspected to discover possible cold solder joints, solder
splashes, or sharp solder points. Be certain to remove all loose foreign
particles.
4. Check for physical evidence of damage or deterioration to parts and components, for frayed leads or damaged insulation (including the AC cord), and
replace if necessary.
5. No lead or component should touch a high current device or a resistor
rated at 1 watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces
must be avoided.
6. After reassembly of the set, always perform an AC leakage test on all exposed
metallic parts of the cabinet (the channel selector knobs, antenna terminals,
handle and screws) to be sure that set is safe to operate without danger of
electrical shock. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER DURING THIS
TEST. Use an AC voltmeter having 5000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in
the following manner: Connect a 1500 ohm, 10 watt resistor, paralleled by
a .15 mfd 150V AC type capacitor between a known good earth ground
water pipe, conduit, etc.) and the exposed metallic parts, one at a time.
Measure the AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohm resistor and
.15 mfd capacitor. Reverse the AC plug by using a non-polarized adaptor
and repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part. Voltage
measured must not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. This corresponds to 0.5 milliamp
AC. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock hazard and
must be corrected immediately.

X-RADIATION
1. Be sure procedures and instructions to all service personnel cover the
subject of x-radiation. The only potential source of x-rays in current TV
receivers is the picture tube. However, this tube does not emit x-rays when
the HV is at the factory-specified level. The proper value is given in the
applicable schematic. Operation at higher voltages may cause a failure of
the picture tube or high-voltage supply and, under certain circumstances
may produce radiation in excess of desirable levels.
2. Only factory-specified CRT anode connectors must be used.
3. It is essential that the service personnel have available an accurate and
reliable high-voltage meter.
4. When the high-voltage circuitry is operating properly, there is no possibility
of an x-radiation problem. Every time a chassis is serviced, the brightness
should be run up and down while monitoring the high voltage with a
meter, to be certain that the high voltage does not exceed the specified
value and that it is regulating correctly.
5. When troubleshooting and making test measurements in a product with a
problem of excessively high voltage, avoid being unnecessarily close to
the picture tube and the high voltage power supply. Do not operate the
product longer than necessary to locate the cause of excessive voltage.
6. Refer to HV, B+, and shutdown adjustment procedures described in the
appropriate schematics and diagrams (where used).
IMPLOSION
1. All direct view picture tubes are equipped with an integral implosion
protection system; take care to avoid damage during installation.
2. Use only the recommended factory replacement tubes.
TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION
1. Never install any receiver in a closed-in recess, cubbyhole, or closely
fitting shelf space over, or close to, a heat duct, or in the path of heated
air flow.
2. Avoid conditions of high humidity such as: outdoor patio installations
where dew is a factor, near steam radiators where steam leakage is a factor,
etc.
3. Avoid placement where draperies may obstruct venting. The customer
should also avoid the use of decorative scarves or other coverings that
might obstruct ventilation.
4. Wall- and shelf-mounted installations using a commercial mounting kit
must follow the factory-approved mounting instructions. A product mounted
to a shelf or platform must retain its original feet (or the equivalent
thickness in spacers) to provide adequate air flow across the bottom. Bolts
or screws used for fasteners must not touch any parts or wiring. Perform
leakage tests on customized installations.
5. Caution customers against mounting a product on a sloping shelf or in a
tilted position, unless the receiver is properly secured.
6. A product on a roll-about cart should be stable in its mounting to the cart.
Caution the customer on the hazards of trying to roll a cart with small
casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
7. Caution customers against using a cart or stand that has not been listed
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for use with its specific model of
television receiver or generically approved for use with TVs of the same or
larger screen size.
8. Caution customers against using extension cords. Explain that a forest of
extensions, sprouting from a single outlet, can lead to disastrous
consequences to home and family.

PRODUCT SAFETY SERVICING GUIDELINES FOR AUDIO-VIDEO PRODUCTS
CRT ANODE HIGH VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
To prevent possible exposure to radiation caused by excessive CRT
Anode voltage, the High Voltage Shutdown circuit senses the level
of flyback pulse from “Flyback Transformer” representative of the
actual high voltage on the CRT anode. When this level exceeds a
predetermined voltage, the circuit shuts down the horizontal drive,
preventing further generation of anode voltage. In this condition,
the horizontal drive is “latched” off. The drive will remain off until
power (via remote control or front panel) is re-cycled from “Off” to
“On”.
Critical Safety components (designated with an “X” in the component designator) are designed to operate the CRT at a safe operating
Anode voltage and provide proper shutdown thresholds . If replacement of any of these components are deemed necessary, it is important to use original type Zenith replacement components. After
replacement is made, confirm proper Anode voltage using the following procedure.
Measurement of the CRT Anode voltage must be performed using a
high impedance high voltage meter, with no visible raster on the
screen, and operating at nominal horizontal scanning frequency.
Connect a strong broadcast signal (or TV signal generator operating
at 15.734kHz horizontal scanning rate) to the RF input.
After discharging the CRT, connect a high impedance high voltage
meter to the CRT anode. Turn the television “on” and confirm a good
signal is being displayed . Reduce Brightness and Contrast settings
until the picture is well extinguished. If the voltage reading is
higher than the maximum, verify circuit component values and
proper operation.
B+ VDCHV NOMHV MAX
(0 BEAM)KVKV
115 +/- 2%30.230.5
SHUTDOWN TEST PROCEDURE
Equipment needed is a video generator, HV DC meter (0 to 40 KV,
high Z), and a external variable power supply (0V to 6VDC @ 5Amps
minimum).
To verify the Shutdown Circuit is operating properly, Supply +6V DC
to pin 1 of P1407 and ground to Heat sink of Q1413. If there is no
raster and set goes into Shutdown, then the Shutdown Circuit is
functional. If the set doesn’t go into Shutdown, then the Circuit is
defective.
ELECTROSTATICALLY SENSITIVE 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 the 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 an ESD mat, to
prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES
devices.
4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can generate electrical
charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charge 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 t.(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 willbe 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 replace ment
ES devices. (Otherwise, seemingly harmless motion, such as the brushing together of your clothing or the lifting of your foot from a
carpeted floor, can generate static electricity sufficient to damage
an ES device.)

HOLD-DOWN CIRCUIT INFORMATION
NORMAL CONDITION
In normal condition, the DC voltage at point is ap-
a
proximately 4.88V through pin 1 of P1407 (HV Block).
The voltage at point is approximately 4.86V. The
b
voltage of pin 5 of IC404 is lower than the voltage of
pin 6 (5.1V). The voltage of pin 7 is 0V and the transistor Q403 is off.
ABNORMAL CONDITION
In abnormal condition, the voltage of point is much
b
higher than normal voltage. The voltage of pin 5 of IC404
is 24V and the transistor Q403 is on. Therefore, pin 1 of
IC401 receives a voltage causing the hold-down circuit
to be active. This results in the frequency of the horizontal oscillation and deflection to be stopped and then
the set goes into stand-by mode.

X-RAY PROTECTION
Check the X-Ray protection circuit using the following
steps. Turn the set on and input a color bar signal. Check
the B+ voltage to make sure it is correct. If B+ is 148 to
160 VDC, the power circuit is defective. To check the
operation of the hold-down circuit, apply DC 6V (+- 0.5)
to point . If there is no raster, the set is operating
The R56/65W28 and R50/60V26 are HDTV Monitors. This means that most of the components of a HDTV are present
except for the ASTC tuner. An HDTV receiver or converter box is required to view an ASTC signal. The W28 models feature
a 16:9 aspect ratio screen. But, it can display video in several different aspect ratios, including 16:9 and 4:3. More
features and specifications are listed below.
Currently the ZP-26/28 chassis is module level repair only. Schematics and PCB layouts are provided to assist in
troubleshooting. Follow the normal procedures required for module level repair.
FEATURES
ENHANCED HD LENS SYSTEM
New 4 Element enhanced lens system improves brightness
and focus over the previous 25 series and provides a
more natural looking and true-to-life picture.
HD FOCUS (W28 MODELS)
Automatic system that eliminates the need to manually
adjust the picture. Simply select HD focus from the
onscreen set-up menu, and in approximately 8-10
seconds, over 8,000 points on the screen are adjusted,
for perfect center to edge focus of the image.
DIGITAL FOCUS ARRAY (V26 MODELS)
New advanced convergence technology is more accurate
than previous digital convergence, and is set at the
factory by a computer. The 9-Point system actually looks
at 117 points, since it interpolates between points,
yielding an image that is sharp from center to edge.
IMPROVED-HD DRIVER
Most HDTVs use upconversion of analog signals (line-
doubling) to simulate an HD picture, which introduces
artifacts that appear as pixilated scenes due to digital
conversion. Improved-HD dramatically improves this
process and produces images free rom picture artifacts
by increasing both vertical and horizontal resolution. True
HD signals are not affected by this process, leaving them
as true to life as possible.
IMPROVED PICTURE
Zenith’s 26 and 28 series projection televisions feature a
.52mm screen pitch, improved image scaling, and new 7"
CRTs yielding sharper images and finer detail. This
represents significant improvement compared to our
previous 94/95/25 series. The screen also features a
scratch resistant coating.
3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION
Most movies are shot on film, and film operates at a frame
rate of 24fps (frames per second), compared to video
which operates at 30fps, 3:2 pulldown properly detects
and syncs film to video for smooth theater like pictures
at home.

Notes
•Favorite Channels are only available on ANT 1 source.
•If Parental Control Ratings are locked, it will disable

Channels POP-3 insets).

PARENTAL CONTROL
Parental Control offers the user a wide variety of
options and settings that restrict or “block” the
programming that can appear on the TV. Parental
Control allows the user the capability of defining which
program rating they consider acceptable, to the
younger or more sensitive viewer. It can be preset and
turned either on or off by the user who specifies the
secret 4-number code, the password.
Viewer ratings are specified for both TV and the motion
picture industry; both rating systems should be used
for complete coverage. These ratings are based mainly
on children’s ages. See the Parental Control menu and
submenus example on the next page.
Things to Consider before Setting Up Parental Control
View or Block options:
• Determine which rating you consider acceptable
to the viewer. (For example, if you choose TV-PG,
all more restrictive ratings will be automatically
blocked; the viewer will not be able to see: TV-PG,
TV-14, or TV-MA rated programming.)
• Do you want to block individual channels or input
sources? (Blocks the signal sent by the equipment,
such as a VCR, connected to the TV Audio/Video
input jacks.) Or leave unblocked, then choose allowable ratings.
• Lock the front panel controls so they cannot be
used with the Front Panel Lock option.
• Select a secret password; in the Set Password option. Use the number keys on the remote. Don’t
forget the password, it is the only way you can
access the Parental Control menu and change rating selections, or turn Parental Control off.
