1 Safety precautions

General guidelines

An isolation transformer should always be used during the servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician from accidents resulting in personal injuryfrom electrical shocks. It will also protect the receiver from being damaged by accidental 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 fish paper, isolation resistors and capacitors, and shields after servicing the receiver. Use only manufacturer’s recommended rating for fuses, circuits breakers, etc.

High potentials are present when this receiver is operating. Operation of the receiver without the rear cover introduces danger for electrical shock. Servicing should not be performed by anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with the necessary precautionswhen servicing high voltage equipment.

Extreme care should be practiced when handling the picture tube. Rough handling may cause it to implode due to atmospheric pressure. (14.7 lbs per sq. in.). Do not nick or scratch the glass or subject it to any undue pressure. When handling, usesafety 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 connect cold ground (i.e. dag ground lead) to the anode with a wellinsulated wire or use a grounding probe.Avoid prolonged exposure at close range to unshielded areas of the picture tube to prevent exposure to x ray radiation.

The test picture tube used for servicing the chassis at the bench should incorporate safety glass and magnetic shielding. The safety glass provide shielding for the tube viewing area against x ray radiation as well as implosion. The magnetic shieldlimits the x ray radiation around the bell of the picture 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 50kV without causing x ray radiation.

Before returning a serviced receiver to the owner, the service technician 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 A.C. 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 returnpath 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

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 current tester (such a Simpson model 229, Sencore model PR57 or equivalent) may be used in the above procedure, in which case any current measure must not exceed 0.5 milliampere.If any measurement is out of the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard and the receiver must be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

Hot check circuit

Insulation test

Connect an insulation tester between an exposed metallic part and A.C. line. Apply 1080VAC/60Hz for 1 second. Confirm that the current measurement is 0.5mA ~ 2.0mA. Repeat test with other metallic exposed parts.

X-ray radiation

WARNING

The potential source of x-ray radiation in the PTV set is in the high voltage section and the picture tube.

NOTE

It is important to use an accurate, calibrated high voltage meter.

Apply all black video signals (1080i) and confirm high voltage measures 31.5 ± 1.0kV. If the high voltage is not within the range, change C514 (in D-Board) to 1800pF, 2000pF, 2400pF or 2700pF until the desired value isobtained.Apply NTSC white pattern and confirm the high voltage measures 30.1 ± 1.5kV. Apply HD 1080i white pattern and confirm the high voltage measures 30.1 ±

1.5kV.

2 About lead free solder (PbF)

NOTE

Lead is listed as (Pb) in the periodic table of elements. In the information below, Pb will refer to lead solder, and PbF will refer to Lead Free Solder. The lead free solder used in our manufacturing process and discussed below is (Sn+Ag+Cu). Thatis Tin (Sn), Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) although other types are available.

This model uses Pb Free solder in it’s manufacture due to environmental conservation issues. For service and repair work, we’d suggest the use of Pb free solder as well, although Pb solder may be used. PCBs manufacturedusing lead free solder will have the “PbF” or a leaf symbol stamped on the back of PCB.

CAUTION

· Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder. Typically the melting point is 50 ~ 70 °F (30 ~ 40 °C) higher.

Please use a high temperature soldering iron and set it to 700 ± 20 °F (370 ± 10 °C).

· Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100 °F or 600 °C).

If you must use Pb solder, please completely remove all of the Pb free solder on the pins or solder area before applying Pb solder. If thisis not practical, be sure to heat the Pb free solder until it melts, before applying Pb solder.

· After applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the component side for excess solder which may flow onto

the opposite side.

Suggested Pb free solder

There are several kinds of Pb free solder available for purchase. This product uses Sn+Ag+Cu (tin, silver, copper) solder. However, Sn+Cu (tin, copper), Sn+Zn+Bi (tin, zinc, bismuth) solder can also beused.

3 Important safety tests

Measuring H.V.

The anode caps are cemented to the CRTs. To gain access for high voltage measurement, remove the red CRT’s anode lead from the flyback transformer distributor. Grasp the anode lead protective cap at its bottom and squeeze it against thelocking cap body inside, rotate 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull the anode lead sleeve out of the FBT distributor. Connect a high voltage positive lead from your H.V. meter to the FBT distributor, and the common negative lead to cold ground

FBT leads removal

Note:

Reinsert the anode lead into the FBT distributor until it is tightly and fully seated. Turn the locking cap clockwise to lock in place.

(EHT) Protector operation check

With the cabinet back removed, apply a nominal 120V A.C. to the PTV.

Over voltage test

Preparation:

1. Turn PTV “OFF”

2. Connect a NTSC signal generator to the antenna terminal.

3. Connect DVM positive lead to D31 pin 2 and negative lead to D31 pin 1 on D-Board

DVM and power supply connection

5. Connect the 15 ~ 25 V DC variable power supply positive lead to D34 or IC802 pin 2 (D Board) and negative lead to heat sink of Q551 or D825

Procedures:

1. Apply a NTSC white pattern.

2. Turn PTV ON.

3. Adjust the picture or brightness controls so that

the DVM reads 12.7 ± 0.4 volts.

4. Increase the variable power supply until set turns

off. The set should turn off at 12.7 ± 0.4 volts (DVM) and high voltage less than 36.4kV.

5. If the DVM reading is other than 12.7 ± 0.4 volts,

readjust picture or brightness control and repeat steps 3.

6. Turn off the variable supply and confirm that the

set will turn on by pulling out AC plug socket and connecting it again.

H.V. measurement

4. Connect a H.V. meter (static type, class 0.1) with high voltage leads to high voltage distributor on FBT.

4 Service notes

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 track spacing. There are no holes in the board to mount standard transistors or diodes. Some chips capacitor or resistor board solder pads may have holes through 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 component indicates the general range of the capacitance.

Chip transistors are identified by a two letter code. The first letter indicates the type and the second letter, the grade of transistor.

Chip diodes have a two letter identification code as per the code chart and 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 solder from component 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 apply heat for more than 3 seconds.

using a desolder braid

2. Put the iron wire under the pins of the Flat IC and pull it in the direction indicated while heating the pins using a soldering iron. A small awl can be used instead of the iron wire.

3. Remove the solder from all the pads of the Flat IC by using a de solder braid

4. Position the new Flat IC in place (apply the pins of the Flat IC to the soldering pads where the pins need to be soldered). Properly determine the positions of the soldering pads and pins by correctly aligning the polarity symbol

5. Solder all pins to the soldering pads using a fine tipped soldering iron

6. Check with a magnifier for solder bridge between the pins or for dry joint between pins and soldering pads. To remove a solder bridge, use a desolder braid as shown in the figure below

How to replace flat ic (required tools)

1. Remove the solder from all of the pins of a Flat IC by

IMPORTANT

To protect against possible damage to the solid state devices due to arcing or static discharge, make certain that all ground wires are securely connected.

CAUTION

The power supply circuit is above earth ground and the chassis cannot be polarized. Use an isolation transformer when servicing the receiver to avoid damage to the test equipment or to the chassis. Connect the test equipment to the proper ground(HOT or COLD) when servicing, or incorrect voltages will be measured.

WARNING

This receiver has been designed to meet or exceed applicable safety and x-ray radiation protection as specified by government agencies and independent testing laboratories.

To maintain original product safety design standards relative to x-ray radiation and shock and fire hazard, parts indicated with the symbol

on the schematic must be replaced with identical parts. Order parts from the manufacturer’sparts center using the parts numbers shown in this service manual, or provide the chassis number and the part reference number.

For optimum performance and reliability, all other parts should be replaced with components of identical specification.

15 Convergence adjustment

Turn PTV on and allow it to warm up for 30 minutes prior to perform adjustments (apply a WHITE PATTERN).

Helpful Hint:

EEPROM jig can be used to adjust convergence, by copying convergence adjustment from a convergence adjusted PTV to other. Refer to EEPROM copy jig section on this service manual. Also EEPROM copy jig can be used to back-up the data before to performadjustments.

NOTE:

1080i, 480p, 480i pattern can be obtained from Panasonic’s TU-DST51 set-top box DTV decoder.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

It is strongly recommended to first read and understand the following section prior to make any adjustment.

This PTV uses the scheme described below to correct for misconvergence of the three CRT projection tubes. There are various modes to this operation.

Preparation:

Place the convergence alignment template (see Convergence alignment template section on this manual) over the PTV screen. Align the center lines of the template with the mechanical center markers on the PTV screen frame. If the template is not available,create one using the dimensions provided in Convergence alignment template section on this manual.Remote control must be used during the procedure.

Procedure:

Apply the convergence alignment template to the PTV screen frame to converge the green raster only. Remove the convergence alignment template following this alignment. The red and blue rasters can then be aligned to the green raster.

Raster Set-Up:

1. Enter to service mode (red CHK).

2. In SET-UP (menu) enter to “Other Adj.” menu and set CONVERGENCE values (GH, GV) to 0.

3. Cover red & blue lens with caps.

4. Apply a pattern to adjust with 1080i HD format:

5. Select “COARSE” DAC, then press OK to enter to “Coarse adjustment” mode.

6. Press “0” key on remote.

7. Press OK key on remote to enter to “TEST_POS” mode.

8. Move pattern by pressing VOL right - left and CH up down so that the cursor center overlap monoscope pattern center.

Aligned cross-hair pattern with center of picture pattern

9. Press “5” key on remote to exit superimpose mode (monoscope pattern disappear).

10. Press “TV/VIDEO” key to enter “DATA_POS” mode

11. Adjust by pressing VOL right - left so that peak of curve is the same position as center of cursor.

Symmetrical shape

12. Press “TV/VIDEO” key on remote to enter “OSD_POS” mode.

13. Press “5” key on remote so that monoscope pattern appears (superimpose mode)

14. Move cursor by pressing VOL right - left and CH up down so that cursor center overlap monoscope pattern center

15. Press “0” key to go back to “Coarse adjustment” mode.

16. Press “TV/VIDEO” key to cycle through “Coarse adjustment” options

“COARSE” modes cycle

17. To change to “Fine Adjustment Mode” options (“FINE” DAC), press “TV/VIDEO” key on remote for at least 3 seconds, to go back to “Coarse

Adjustment Mode” options press “TV/VIDEO” on remote again for 3 seconds.

18. In “Fine Adjustment Mode” options, press “MUTE” key on remote to switch between “cursor” mode and “data” mode.

· Cursor mode: Allows cursor movement by pressing

VOL right - left and CH up - down.

· Data mode: Allows making adjustment by pressing

VOL right - left and CH up - down.
