1 Safety Precautions

1.1. General Guide Lines

1. It is advisable to insert an isolation transformer in the AC supply before servicing this hot chassis.

2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress, especia lly the lead dress in the high voltage circuits. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

3. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields and isolation R-C combinations, are properly installed.

4. When the receiver is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power cord from the AC cord outlet.

5. Potential, as high as involves the danger of a shock hazard from the receiver power supply. Servicing should not be attempted by anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with the precautions necessary when working on high voltage equipment. Always discharge the anode of the picture tube to the receiver chassis before handling the tube. After servicing make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

1.2. Leakage Current Cold Check

1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug.

2. Turn on the receiver’s power switch. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumper AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the receiver, such as screw heads, aerials, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 4 MΩand 20 MΩ. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite.

is present when this receiver is in operation. Operation of the receiver without the rear cover

1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check (Fig. 1)

1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.

2. Check a 2 kΩnon-inductive resistor and an AC/DC current meter, in series with each exposed metallic part on the receiver in turn and an earth such as a water pipe.

The current from any point should not exceed 0.7 mA peak AC or 2 mA DC. In the case of a measurement being outside of these limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard and the receiver should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

1.4. X-Radiation

Warning:

The potential sources of X-Radiation in TV set are the EHT section and the picture tube. When using a picture tube test jig for service, ensure that jig is capable of handling

Note:

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

1. Set the brightness to minimum.

2. Use the remocon to get into Service Mode.

3. Measure the EHT. The meter reading should indicate and correction is required to prevent the possibility of premature component failure.

4. To prevent the possibility X-Radiation, it is essential to use the specified picture tube, if service replacement becomes necessary.

2.2. Adjustment for White Balance

Preparation:

1. Receive the white balance pattern and aging should have been performed over 30 minutes.

2. Set the picture menu to DYNAMIC NORMAL.

3. Degausse the CRT face.

4. Fix the CRT colour analyze r receiver unit to CRT face.

Adjustment of Low Light.

1. Adjustment Sub Bright, so that Y = 6.3 ± 1.0 nit.

2. Adjustment R-CUT OFF, so that X = 0.247 ± 0.005 nit.

3. Adjustment G-CUT OFF, so that Y = 0.273 ± 0.005 nit.

Adjustment of High Light

1. Adjustment Sub Bright, so that Y = 150 nit.

2. Adjustment R-Drive, so that X = 0.261 ± 0.003 nit.

3. Adjustment B-Drive, so that Y = 0.267 ± 0.003 nit.

2.3. Adjustment for CRT CUT OFF

Preparation:

1. Connect the oscilloscope probe to (GREEN CATHODE) on L Board.

2. Screen VR min.

3. Set the data Sub Bright, Bright.

4. In service Mode at “Bright” dac press [5] in factory mode to enter vertical line and adjust by volume down or up button.

5. Adjust “Screen VR” to set voltage as in table 1.

Before Colour Purity, Convergence and White Balance adjustment are attempted,

V. Height, H. Centre and Focus adjustments must be completed.

Colour Purity

1. Set the Brightness and Contrast controls to their

maximum positions.

2. Operate the TV set for 60 minutes.

3. Fully degausse the picture tube by using an external

degaussing coil.

4. Apply a crosshatch pattern signal and adjust the static

convergence magnets to the approximately correct position.

5. Receive a black and white signal.

6. Set the control as follows:

Red................minimum

Green.............minimum

Blue...............minimum

Press the Shipping button on the remote control twice to select CRT Adjustment Mode to select low light.

7. Loosen the clamp screw for the Deflection Yoke A in

Fig. 10 and move the Deflection Yoke as close to the purity magnet as possible.

8. Adjust the purity magnetic rings so that a vertical green

field is obtained at the centre of the screen.

Convergence

1. Apply a crosshatch pattern signal and Normalize Contrast control to the maximum position s.

2. Adjust Brightness until the grey position of the crosshatch pattern just becomes black.

3. Adjust the Red and Blue line at the centre of the screen by rotating the R-B static.

Notes:

1. Wedge A, B and C should be inserted following the sequence of 1, 2 and 3 shown in Fig. 11.

2. The wedges should be set 120° apart from each other.

3. Be certain that three wedges are firmly fixed and the Deflection Yoke is tightly clamped in place. Otherwise the Deflection Yoke may shift its position and cause a loss of convergence and purity.
