REPLACE ALL FUSES WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RA TING AS MARKED
NEAR EACH FUSE.
SERVICE INFORMATION
While servicing, use an isolation transf orm er f or pr otecti on fr om A C lin e sh ock.
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 receiving tube or a resistor rated at
1 watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces must be
avoided.
6. After re-assembly 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 voltm eter having 5000 ohm s per volt or more
sensitivity in the following m ann er: Conn ect a 1500 ohm, 10 watt resistor,
paralleled by .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 .15mfd capacitor. Reverse the AC plug by using a nonpolarized 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.

Place this probe
on each exposed
m e ta l pa rt.
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 . H owever, this tube does not emit x-r ays 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 m eter .
4. When the high-voltage cir cuitry is operating properly, there is n o possibility
of an x-radiation problem. Every time a color 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 radi ators where steam leak age 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
X-RADATION
To prevent possible exposure to x-radiation caused by excessive
CRT Anode Voltage, the FA Chassis incorporates a “High Voltage
Shutdown” circuit. This cir cuit senses the level of a flyback pulse
from the “Flyback Transformer” representative of the actual high
voltage on the CRT anod e. Wh en this level exceeds a pr edetermined
voltage, the circuit shuts down the horizontal drive, preventing
further generation of anode voltage. In this condition, the horizontal
drive is ‘‘latched’’ off for about 5 seconds, after which, restart, is
attempted.
SHUTDOWN CIRCUIT OPERA TION
The Shutdown pulse voltage from pin 3 of TX3200 (Flyback Transformer) is peak detected (rectified bythe action of diode DX3001
and capacitor CX3001. This form a DC voltage appearing on CX3
representative of the CRT anode voltage (HV) produced by TX3200.
This voltage is divided down by precision resistors RX3003 and
RX3004. This lower voltage appears on Emitter of QX3001. In the
event the CRT anode voltage become excessive, the voltage in
Emitter of QX3001 will be higher than voltage in Base of QX3001
(Base voltage is fixed by ZDX3002) and therefore QX3001 enters in
conduction mode. Therefore a dc voltage will appear on RX3007
and this voltage will put QX3002 in saturation. A high voltage level
(5.66V aprox.) is sent to pin 32 (X-Ray) of video processor IC2200
stopping H oscillation and H output (pin 34) becom es low. If the
shutdown condition disappears TV set can be turned-on by using
the on/off button.

HV SHUTDOWN MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
1. Adjust the beam current to OmA in NTSC mode.
2. Apply a variable DC voltage to pin 10 of th e PTD1 connector , from
20 to 0 Vdc, starting at 20 Vdc.
3. Slowly decrease supply towards zero.
4. Remote DC voltage from pin 10 of PTD1.
5. After approximately 5 seconds, verify that the HV must be
reestablished (High Voltage Reset).
HIGH VOLT A GE SHUTDOWN TEST
Before to turn the TV on, and after discharging the CRT, connect a
high impedance – high voltage meter to the CRT anode. Apply a
voltage signal from an external power supply through the shutdown
test circuit (see Fig. below). Turn the television ‘on’ and confirm a
good signal is being displayed. Reduce Brightness and Contrast
settings until the picture is well extinguished. Wait until the Video
Menu or display may disappear. Read HV meter, ramping up the
external power supply from 0 to 8 volts, the HV increase until the
High Voltage shutdown, read the high voltage on the HV meter just
before the voltage start dropping.

CRT ANODE HIGH VOL TA GE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Each CRT screen has it’s own safe opreating Anode Voltage and
shutdown voltage. Critical Safety components (designated and
shutdown voltage. Cristal Safety components (desiganted with a n
“X” in the components desigantor) are designed to operate the CRT
at a safe operating . Anode voltage and provide proper shutdown
thresholds. If replacement of any ofv these components are deemed
necessary, it is important to use original type Zenith replacement
components.
After a replacement is made, confirm proper Anode voltage using the
following precedure.
Measurement of the CRT Anode voltage must be performed whit not
visible raster on the screen and operating at nominal horizontal
scanning frecuency 15.734 Khz.
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.
Observe the Anode voltage meter reading and compare with the
table for the proper CRT screen size. If the voltage reading is higher
than the maximum, verify circuit component values and proper
operation.

TO ENTER PASSWORD
The software accepts four-digit codes only. The customer must enter a password
RE-ENTERING PARENTAL CONTROL MENU
If the Parental Control feature has been activated,
the software will not allow immediately entry into
the Parental Control Menu. Instead, it will prompt
for the correct password. If the correct password is entered, the Parental Control menu will
be unlocked so the user can change the configuration for parental options. If an incorrect
password is entered, an error message (“Not Accepted!) appears, and will not disappear until 5
seconds. This extended time provision increases
the amount of time necessary for a child to “crack”
the password.

POWER SUPPL Y
The FA is a COLD chassis of a single sided circuit board,
developed for a 27”. The power supply section features
four IC’s for voltages sources. The FA chassis has the
capability to meet the Energy Star requirement for a
low power consumption on stand-by mode.
The FA chassis employs a switching power supply, quasiresonant topology type. The AC line is supplied thru
the bridge rectifier BRX3400 and CX3410 circuit through
the fuse FX3400 (5A @ 250 V fast blow), The AC operation range is between 90 Vrms to 135 Vrms (see TABLE
1.1) and a filter, consisting of LX3400, LX3401, CX3401,
CX3403 and CX3408, which is employed before the rectifier circuit to reduce noise from the AC line and vice
versa (EMI).
The voltage output of the rectifier, VDC, is supplied to
the Switch Mode Regulator Power Supply, and its output should be in this range [127 VDC to 352.5 VDC].
The SMPS consisting of ICX3612, ICX3701, ICX3702 and
the chopper transformer TX3600. Through 100 KOHM
resistor (Rst), RX3601 and CX3604 (Cst), which is derived the VCC from CX3410. These feed the pin 3 into
the internal zener diode located within ICX3612.

PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN #DESCRIPTIONFUNCTION
1POWER MOSFET DRAINTo drive the chopper xfmr,capable of switching a max of 650V.
2GROUND (HOT)
3DRIVE (+VCC)Positive supply voltage, 32VDC
4FEEDBACK (VfbThe output voltage error is applied to this pin.
5SYNCHRONY (Vs/sExternal sync signal & Soft star capacitor.
MOSFET Source connect ion.
At the same time this voltage is also applied to an internal comparator . So th e voltage of this power sour ce must
be within a set range, between a 5VDC reference (Vref)
and a 32VDC zener diode (Vz).
This set range is verified through the UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) circuit of the Switch Power IC.
START UP
When the VCC reaches a upper threshold voltage (15
VDC) the comparator switches to enable the ICX3612
including all internal bias circuits, control circuits, PWM
modulator & Power MOSFET.
Due the demand of energy from Cst and Rst the VCC voltage starts to fall. Before to fall too low, a bootstrap
winding on the power transformer (pins 13 & 16) reforces
adequately the VCC power to keep the full system operation.
VOL TAGE SOURCES
There are Five secondary windings on the TX3600 and
each has its own half wave rectifier.
Consequently there are Five stand-by DC voltages: B+,
24V AUD, 21VL, 16VSB & 12VUP.
The first is used to source the horizontal sweep circuit,
HOT (Horizontal Output Transistor). The second is used
for audio. The third is exclusively for the LSP source,
which is always on stand-by. The four is used for video
low signal processing and The fifth is used for
microcontroller.
The main microprocessor IC6000 and the EAROM memory
IC6001 are supplied by a five volts stand-by source,
+5V SB, which is derived through ICX3820 (0IKE78500P).
The +16 VSB and +12 VUP volts stand-by are protected
by fuses FX3613 and FX3614 ( 4A @ 125V) Very Fast
Acting, the +21VL and +24 VAUD volts stand-by are protected by fuses FX3611 and FX3612 ( 4A @ 125V) Slow
Blow . B+ as m ent ion ed bef ore ar e pr otected by th e OCP
circuit. So they do not need fuse.
The FA chassis can be turn it on with the keyboard on
the front of the set or with the remote hand control.
The microcontroller IC6000 receive a signal and it output a high, about 4.8V, on pin 32 which is called PWRCTL. This pin is connected to RX3832, RX3831 and
RX3540; producing the +VAUD, +9VSW, +5VSW.
DEGAUSSING
The FA chassis employs a new method of degaussing,
which is performed through software. The IC6000 generate a pulse of about 1 second, time fixed, on pin 43.
This pin is set to high, about 4.8 VDC, through R3900,
4.7K 5% ¼watt. And it applies to Q3900, which drives
the 12 VCD relay KX3900. So the degaussing is performed
when the degauss coil is plugged to CN3T8 connector.
POWER SUPPL Y ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
The FA chassis SMPS does not need any manual measurement. All the output voltages are regulated through
ICX3702 (221-265-03A), error amplifier. The ICX3702
keeps the regulation using a reference voltage, through
a voltage divider. The voltage divider is formed by two
precision RX3706 and RX3704.
The values of these resistors depends of the B+ output
voltage.
NOTES:
·When servicing make sure to use a 120 VAC- 60Hz 25
Amp isolated source.
·Use a full white field on the video pattern generator.
