Important Safety Notice

Special components are used in this television set which are important for safety. These parts are identified on the
schematic diag ram by the s ymbol and printed in BOLD TYPE o n the replac ement part l ist. It is es senti al that

these critical parts are replaced with the manufacturer ’s specified replacement part to prevent X-ray radiation,
shock, fire or other hazards. Do not modify the original design without the manufacturer’s permission.

Safety Precautions

General Guidelines

An Isolation Transformer should always be used
during the servicing of a r eceiver whose c hassis is not
isolated from AC power line. Use a transformer of
adequate power rating as this protects the technician
from accidents resulting in personal injury from
electrical shocks. It will also protec t the Receiver from
being damaged by accidenta l shorting that may occur
during servicing.
When servicing, observe the original lead dress,
especially in the high voltage circuit. Replace all
damaged parts (also parts that show signs of
overheating.)
Always Replace Protective Devices, such as
fishpaper, isolation resistors and capacitors, and
shields after servicing the Receiver. Use only
manufacturer ’s recommended rating for fuses, c ircuits
breakers, etc.
High potentials are present when this Receiver is
operating. Operation of the Receiver without the rear
cover introduces danger for elect rical shock. S ervicing
should not be performed by anyone who is not
thoroughly familiar with the necessary precautions
when servicing high-voltage equipment.

Extreme care should be practiced when Handling the
Picture T ube. Rough handling may cause it to implode

due to atmospheric pres sure. (14.7 lbs per sq. in.). D o
not nick or scratch the glass or subject it to any undu e
pressure. When handling, use safety goggles and
heavy gloves for protection. Discharge the picture
tube by shorting the anode to chassis ground (not to
the cabinet or to other mounting hardware). When
discharging con nec t co ld ground (i.e. da g gr oun d lea d)
to the anode with a well insulated wire or use a
grounding probe.
Avoid prolonged exposure at close range to unshielded
areas of the picture tube to prevent exposure to X­ray radiation.
The Test Picture Tube used for servicin g the chassis
at the bench should incorporate safety glass and
magnetic shieldi ng. The safety glass pro vide shielding
for the tube viewing area against X-ray radiation as
well as implosion. The magnetic sh ield limits the X-ray
radiation around the bell of the pict ure tube in addition
to the restricting magnetic effects. When using a
picture tube test jig for service, ensure that the jig is
capable of handling 40kV without causing X­ray radiation.
Before returning a serviced rec eiver to the owner,
the service technic ian must thoroughly test the unit to
ensure that is completely safe to operate. Do not use a

line isolation transformer when testing.

Leakage Current Cold Check

Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the
two plug prongs.
Measure the resistance between the jumpered AC plug
and expose metallic parts such as screwheads,
antenna terminals, control shafts, etc. If the exposed
metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the
reading should be between 240kΩ and 5.2MΩ. If the
exposed metallic part does not have a return path to
the chassis, the reading should be infinite.

Leakage Current Hot Check (Fig. 1)

Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use
an isolation transformer during the check.
Connect a 1.5kΩ 10 watt resistor in parallel with a

0.15µF capacitor between an exposed metallic part
and ground. Use earth ground, for example a
water pipe.
Using a DVM with a 1000 ohms/volt sensitivity or
higher, measure the AC potential across the resistor.
Repeat the procedure and measure the voltage
present with all other exposed metallic parts.
Verify that any potential does not exceed 0.75 volt
RMS. A leakage curr ent tes ter (suc h a S impson M odel
229, Sencore Model P R57 or equiv alent) may be used
in the above procedure, in which case any current
measure must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. If any
measurement is out of the specified limits, there is a
possibility of a s hock haz ar d and th e R ece iv er m us t b e
repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the
customer.

X-ray Radiation

WARNING: The potential source of X-ray radiation in the

TV set is in the H igh Voltage section and th e p ict ure tu be.

Note: It is important to use an accurate, calibrated

high voltage meter.

Set the brightness, picture, sharpness and color
controls to Minimum. Measure the High Voltage. The
high voltage should be 27.7kV ± 1.25kV. If the upper

limit is out of tolerance, immediate service and
correction is required to insure safe operation and to
prevent the possibility of premature component failure.

Note: These components are affixed with glue. Be careful not to break or damage any foil under the

component or at the pins of the ICs when removing. Usually applying heat to the component for a
short time while twisting with tweezers will break the component loose.

Leadless Chip Component
(surface mount)

Chip components must be replaced with identical chips
due to critical foil tr ack spacing. There are no ho les in
the board to mount standard transistors or diodes.
Some chips capacitor or resistor board solder pads
may have holes thr ough the board, however the hole
diameter limits standard resistor replacement to 1/8
watt. Standard capacitor may also be limited for the
same reason. It is recommended that identical
components be used.
Chip resistor have a three digit numerical resistance
code - 1st and 2nd significant digits and a multiplier.
Example: 162 = 1600 or 1.6kΩ resistor, 0 = 0Ω (jumper).
Chip capacitors generally do not have the value
indicated on the capacitor. The color of the compo nent
indicates the general range of th e capacitance.
Chip transistors are id enti fied by a two letter c ode . Th e
first letter indicates the type and the second l etter, the
grade of transistor.
Chip diodes have a two lette r i den tif ic ati on code as per
the code chart an d are a dual diode pack with either
common anode or common cathode. Check the parts
list for correct diode number.

Component Removal

1. Use solder wick to remove s older fr om compo nent
end caps or terminal.

2. Without pulling up, carefully twist the component
with tweezers to break the adhesive.

3. Do not reuse removed leadless or chip
components since they are subject to stress
fracture during removal.

Chip Component Installation

1. Put a small amount of solder on the board
soldering pads.

2. Hold the chip component against the soldering
pads with tweezers or with a miniature alligator clip
and apply heat to the pad area with a 30 watt iron
until solder flows. Do not appl y heat for more than
3 seconds.

Purity and Convergence Procedure

Adjustment is necessary only if the CRT or the
deflection yoke is replaced or if the setting was
disturbed. The complete procedure consists of:

1. Vertical Raster Shift Adjustment. (Only for Models

with Purity/Convergence Assembly with 4 Pairs
of Rings).

2. Initial static convergence.

3. Setting the purity.

4. Final static convergence.

When the CRT or the Yoke is Replaced

Place the yoke on the CRT neck (do not tighten
the clamp).

For a 2-piece assembly (see Fig. 5):

Position purity/convergence assembly as shown and
tighten clamp snugly. Remove the hot-melt glue seal
on assembly and position like tabs of purity device

together at 12 o’clock to reduce its magnetic field
effect.

Initial Center Static Convergence

NOTES:

1. CRT warm up with white screen
(three guns activated) is needed
to stabilize the shadow mask
expansion.

2. Initial center static convergence
(roughly centers three gun
beams) is required in order to
perform purity adjustment.

Note: Precise convergence at this point is

not important.

Purity Adjustment

When the Receiver is in the Service Mod e for making
electronic adjustments, press the Recall but ton on the
Remote Control to enter Purity Check. (See the

Service Adjustments Electronic Controls

procedure).
Operate the Receiver for 60 minutes using the first
Purity Check field (white screen) to stabilize the CRT.
Fully degauss the Receiver by using an external
degaussing coil.
Press the Recall button on the Remote Control again
until the Purity Check (green screen) appears.

For a 2-piece assembly (see Fig. 5):
Loosen the deflection yok e clamp screw an d move the
deflection yoke back as close to the purity magnet

as possible.
Adjust the Purit y rings to set the vertical green raster
precisely at the center of the screen (see Fig. 10).

Slowly move the deflecti on yoke forward until the best
overall green screen is displayed.

For a 1-piece assembly (see Fig. 8):

Slowly move the deflection yoke and purity rings
assembly toward the CRT board and adjust the purity
magnet rings to set vertical green raster at center of
screen (see Fig. 10).
Gradually move the deflection yoke & purity rings
forward and adjust for best overall green screen.

Continue from here for either assemblies:

Tighten the deflection yoke clamp screw.
Press the Recall button on the Remote Control again
until the purity check (blue screen) and (red screen)
appear and observe that good purity is obtained on
each respective field.
Press the Recall button on the Remote Control again
until Purity check (white screen) app ears. Obse rve the
screen for uniform white. If purity has not been
achieved, repeat the above procedure.

Final Convergence Procedure (see Fig. 11

through Fig. 13):

Note: Vertical size and focus adjustments must be
completed prior to performing the convergence
adjustment. Connect a dot pattern generator to the
Receiver. The Brightness level should not be higher
than necessary to obtain a clear pattern.

Converge the red and the blue dots at the center of the
screen by rotating the R&B pole Static Convergence
Magnets.
Align The converged red/blue dots with the green dots
at the center of the screen by rotating the R&B&G pol e
Static Convergence Magnets. Melt wax with soldering
iron to reseal the magnets.
Slightly tilt vertica lly and ho rizontally (do not ro tate) the
deflection yoke to obtain a good overall convergence.
If convergence is not reached at the edges, insert
permalloy (see fo llowing section) from the DY corners
to achieve proper convergence. Recheck for purity and
readjust if necessary.
After vertical adjustment of the yoke, insert wedge at 11

o’clock position, then make the horizontal
tilt adjustment.
Secure the deflection yoke by inserting two side
wedges at 3 and 7 o’clock positions.
Apply adhesive between tab (thin portion) of wedge
and CRT and place tape over the tab to secure to
the CRT.

Permalloy Convergence Corrector Strip (Part No. 0FMK014ZZ)

This strip is used in some sets to match the yo ke and
CRT for optimum convergence. If the y oke or CRT is
replaced, the strip may not be required.
First converge the set without the strip and observe
the corners.

If correction is needed:

1. Place strip between CRT and yoke, in quadrant
needing correction. Slowly move it around for
desired results.

2. Press adhesive tightly to the CRT and secure
with tape.

Service Mode (Electronic Controls)

This Receiver has electronic technology using the I²C Bus Concept. It performs as a control function and it
replaces many mechanical controls. Instead of adjusting mechanical controls individually, many of the control
functions are now performed by using “On Screen Display Menu”. (The Service Adjustment Mode.)

Note: It is suggested that the tech nician reads all the way through and understand the following procedur e for

Entering/Exiting the Service Adjustment Mode; then proceed with the instructions working with the
Receiver. When becoming familiar with the pr ocedur e , the Flow Chart for Ser vic e Mod e may be use d as a
quick guide.

Quick Entry to Service Mode:

At times when minor adjustments need to be don e to the electronic controls, the method o f Entering the servic e
Mode without removal of the cabinet back is as follows using the Remote Control:

1. Select SET-UP icon and select CABLE mode.

2. Select TIMER icon and set SLEEP time for 30 Min.

3. Press ACTION button twice to exit menus.

4. Tune to the Channel 124.

5. Adjust VOLUME to minimum (0).

6. Press the VOL button (decrease) on Receiver. Red “CHK” appears in upper corner.

To toggle between Aging and Service modes:

While the “CHK” is displayed on the left top corner of the CRT, pressing the Action and the Volume Up buttons
on the Receiver simu ltaneously will toggle be tween the modes. Red “CHK” for Service and yellow “CHK ” for
Aging.

7. Press the Power Button on the Remote Control to select one of six Service Adjustment Modes.

1) B= Service VCJ SUB-DATA ADJUSTEMENT.

2) C= Service VCJ CUT-OFF ADJUSTMENT.

3) S= Service OPTIONS (PIP and CLOCK) ADJUSTMENT.

4) M= Service MTS ADJUSTMENTS.

5) X = Service COMB FILTER ADJUSTMENT.

6) “CHK” = Normal operation of CHANNEL and VOLUME .

Note: Only the applicable settings for
