This service manual provides service instructions for the V45C, V45, V45CA, V45+, V45CB and V45++ chassis
types. The specific models for each chassis type, dimensions and weight are listed below. Service personnel should
read this manual thoroughly before servicing these chassis.
This service manual includes:
1. Disassembly & replacement instructions for cabinet and chassis components.
2. Replacing the Lenticular Screen, Fresnel Lens and Mirror.
Many electrical and mechanical parts in television receivers 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 special safety characteristics are identified on the schem atic diagrams and parts list
of this service manual. The replacement for any safety critical part should be identical in value and character-istics.
Version 3.0
The PWBs used in this chassis are constructed using Lead-Free Solder. When servicing use
only recommended Lead-Free Solder. Refer to the section “Using Lead Free Solder.”
Observe all cautions and safety related notes located inside the receiver cabinet and on the receiver chassis.
WARNING:
1. Operation of this receiver outside the cabinet or with the cover removed presents a shock hazard from the
receiver's power supplies. Work on the receiver should not be attempted by anyone who is not thoroughly
familiar with the precautions necessary when working on high volta ge equipment.
2. When service is required, observe the original lead dress. Where a short-circuit has occurred, replace those
components that indicate evidence of overheating.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
To protect your eyes, do not look directly into the lamp, or light coming directly from the lamp, lens or
mirror.
Leakage current check
Before returning the receiver to the customer, it is recommended that leakage current be measured according to the
following methods.
1. Cold Check
With the alternating current (AC) plug removed from the AC source, place a jumper across the two AC plug
prongs. Connect one lead of an ohm meter to the AC plug and touch the other lead to each exposed metal
part (i.e. antennas, handle bracket, metal cabinet, screw heads, metal overlay, control shafts, etc.), particularly
any exposed metal part that has a return path to the chassis. The resistance of the exposed metal parts having a return path to the chassis should be a minimum of 1Meg Ohm. Any resistance below this value indicates an abnormal condition and requires corrective action.
2. Hot Check ...Use the circuit shown below to perform the hot check test.
1. Keep switch S1 open and connect the receiver to the measuring circuit. Immediately after connection,
and with the switching devices of the receiver in their operating positions, measure the leakage current
for both positions of switch S2.
2. Close switch S1, energizing the receiver. Immediately after closing switch S1, and with the switching
devices of the receiver in their operating positions, measure the leakage current for both positions of
switch S2. Repeat the current measurements of items 1 and 2 after the receiver has reached therm al
stabilization. The leakage current must not exceed 0.5 milliampere (mA).
2. Remove screws (A) from the bottom of the PWB-MAIN.
3. Lift the PWB-MAIN from the chassis.

be installed in another TV. It must be returned to Mitsu-
Note: To remove the PWB-BALLAST, it is not necessary to remove the Engine or Lamp Cartridge.
1. Release the Latch to lift the PWB-BALLAST up from the mounting bracket.
2. Slide the PWB-BALLAST out of the Engine Assembly.
3. Disconnect the electrical locking connectors indicated.
4. To reinstall, first connect the connectors. Then slide the PWB under the Retaining Hooks. Then press the rear
edge of the PWB down onto the guide pins to engage the latch.
