1. It is advisable to insert an isolation transformer in the AC
supply before servicing a hot chassis.
2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress, especially
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 outlet.
3. 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
ΩΩΩΩ
M
and 20 M
return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinite.

1.3. Leakage Current Hot Check
(See Fig. 1)
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an
isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 2kΩ, 10 W resistor in series with an exposed
metallic part on the receiver and an earth such as a water
pipe.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with high impedance type, to
measure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the
voltage at each point.

5. Potential, as high as
is in operation. Operation of the receiver without the rear
cover 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.
6. After servicing make thefollowing 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.
5. Reverse the AC plug inthe ACoutlet and repeat each of the
above measurements.
6. The potential any point should not exceed
case of a measurement being outside of the 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.

Warning :
1. The potential sources of X-Radiation in TV sets are the EHT
section and the picture tube.
2. When using a picture tube test rig for service, ensure that

TX-29P250T
the rig is capable of handling
32.0 kV
without causing X-
Radiation.
Note:
It is important to use an accurate periodically calibrated
high voltage meter.
1. Set the brightness to minimum.
2. Measure the High Voltage. The meter reading should
indicate
31.0 ± 1 kV
. If the meter indication is out of
tolerance, immediate service and correction is required to
prevent the possibility of premature component failure.
3. To prevent the possibility of X-Radiation, it is essential to
use the specified picture tube.
