Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2. Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2.1 Safety instructions for repairs

Safety regulations require that during a repair:

• Due to the EM2E concept, a very large part of this chassis (incl. Hor. & Vert. deflection) is 'hot'. Therefore the set must be connected to the mains via an isolating transformer.

• Safety components, indicated by the symbol h, should be replaced by components identical to the original ones.

• When replacing the CRT, safety goggles must be worn.

Safety regulations require that after a repair, the set must be returned in its original condition. In particular attention should be paid to the following points:

• General repair instruction: as a strict precaution, we advise you to resolder the solder joints, through which the horizontal deflection current is flowing, in particular:

– All pins of the line output transformer (LOT); – Fly-back capacitor(s); – S-correction capacitor(s); – Line output transistor; – Pins of the connector with wires to the deflection coil; – Other components through which the deflection current

flows. Note: This resoldering is advised to prevent bad connections due to metal fatigue in solder joints and is therefore only necessary for television sets older than 2 years.

• The wire trees and EHT cable should be routed correctly

and fixed with the mounted cable clamps.

• The insulation of the mains lead should be checked for

external damage.

• The mains lead strain relief should be checked for its

function in order to avoid touching the CRT, hot components or heat sinks.

• The electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and

the secondary side should be checked (only for sets which have a mains isolated power supply). This check can be done as follows: – Unplug the mains cord and connect a wire between the

two pins of the mains plug;

– Set the mains switch to the 'ON' position (keep the

mains cord unplugged!);

– Measure the resistance value between the pins of the

mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the

aerial connection on the set. The reading should be

between 4.5 MΩ and 12 MΩ.

– Switch off the TV and remove the wire between the two

pins of the mains plug.

• The cabinet should be checked for defects to avoid

touching of any inner parts by the customer.

2.2 Maintenance instructions

It is recommended to have a maintenance inspection carried out by a qualified service employee. The interval depends on the usage conditions:

• When the set is used under normal circumstances, for

example in a living room, the recommended interval is 3 to 5 years.

• When the set is used in circumstances with higher dust,

grease or moisture levels, for example in a kitchen, the recommended interval is 1 year.

• The maintenance inspection contains the following actions:

– Execute the above-mentioned 'general repair

instruction'.

– Clean the power supply and deflection circuitry on the

chassis.

– Clean the picture tube panel and the neck of the picture

tube.

2.3 Warnings

• In order to prevent damage to IC's and transistors, all highvoltage flashovers must be avoided. In order to prevent damage to the picture tube, the method shown in Fig. 2-1 should be used to discharge the picture tube. Use a highvoltage probe and a multimeter (position VDC). Discharge until the meter reading is 0 V (after approx. 30 s).

•w All IC's and many other semiconductors are susceptible

to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the same potential as the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this same potential.

• Together with the deflection unit and any multipole unit, the used flat square picture tubes form an integrated unit. The deflection and the multipole units are set optimally at the factory. Adjustment of this unit during repair is therefore not recommended.

• Be careful during measurements in the high-voltage section and on the picture tube.

• Never replace modules or other components while the unit is switched ON.

• When making settings, use plastic rather than metal tools. This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a circuit becoming unstable.

• Wear safety goggles during replacement of the picture tube.

2.4 Notes

• The direct voltages and oscillograms should be measured with regard to the tuner earth (H) or hot earth (I).

• The direct voltages and oscillograms shown in the diagrams are indicative and should be measured in the Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a colour bar signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz.

• Where necessary, the oscillograms and direct voltages are measured with (D) and without (E) aerial signal. Voltages in the power supply section are measured both for normal operation (G) and in Standby (F). These values are indicated by means of the appropriate symbols.

• The picture tube PWB has printed spark gaps. Each spark gap is connected between an electrode of the picture tube and the Aquadag coating.

• The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in the parts lists are completely interchangeable per position with the semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type indication on these semiconductors.

• Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. DOLBY, the double D symbol and PRO LOGIC are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

NEX

IEW

Today, most broadcasters in Europe, are offering teletext pages containing

their programme schedule of today.These pages can be requested by switching

the TV to Teletext Guide.

An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme

guide service called

NEX

IEW

NEX

IEW

is a new way of presenting

programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext.

With

NEX

IEW

it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming

tonight.

Both facilities are integrated in this TV:

NEX

IEW

and Teletext Programme

Guide. If a TV channel supports

NEX

IEW

then the TV will automatically

present the

NEX

IEW

programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just

teletext, then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide.

Both facilities are offering the same functions: record, remind and info.

However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible if these

functions are possible.

You can search for the programmes you want to watch up to 7 days in

advance. It is also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g.sport,

movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind

you, or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video

recorder is equipped with

NEX

IEW

Link, level 2.0), once,daily,weekly or

series.Teletext Guide/

NEX

IEW

also allows direct access to detailed

information about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.

The broadcaster is responsible for the contents of the information.

The TV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to

the user.

Teletext

Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext.

Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on

how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main

index (usually p. 100).

Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems.

The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour keys of your

remote control.

About Easy Text

Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that the

teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at least half a

minute) by :

• a direct selection of previous and following pages which are in transmission

and of the pages referred to in the options line

• a habit watcher list: frequently used pages are put automatically in a list of

preferred pages, so that they are immediately available

• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page

• the precapturing of all the subpages.

Switch Teletext on and off

Press b to switch the teletext on or off.

The main index page appears on the screen together with two information

lines at the top and one option line at the bottom of the screen.

Remark: if the displayed teletext characters on screen do not correspond with the

characters used in your language, press the X key repeatedly to select Language

group 1 or 2.

Select a Teletext page

With the digit keys

Enter the desired page number with the digit keys.

page number has been stored in the memory.

A message appears when you have entered a non existent or incorrect page

number. Page numbers beginning with 0 or 9 do not exist. Choose another number.

2. Hook the bracket in the first row of fixation holes of the bottom tray. In other words reposition the bracket from (1) to (2).

Position 2: To get access to the bottom side (solder side) of the LSP, do the following (figure 4.3):

1. Remove the fixation screws (A) of the rear cover, notice also the screw for the side-I/O.

2. Now the rear cover can be removed.

4.3 Service position

The following PWB's are present in this chassis (see also 'Chassis overview', chapter 1):

1. Large Signal Panel (LSP)

2. Small Signal Board (SSB)

3. Top Control panel

4. CRT panel (or PTP)

5. Side I/O panel

6. Mains Switch/LED panel

4.3.1 Service position LSP

Position 1: For better accessibility of the LSP, do the following (figure 4.2):

1. Disconnect the degaussing coil from the LSP by removing the cable on connector 0020 (1).

2. Release the wiring from the heatsink fixation clamps, in order to get room for repositioning the LSP.

3. Turn the LSP 90 degrees clockwise (2) and place it in the fixation hole at the left side of the bottom tray (3).

4.3.2 Service position SSB

In fact there is no predefined service position for the bottom (B) side of the SSB. All relevant test points are located on the Aside (side that is facing the Tuner). If IC's must be replaced: take the complete panel out of the SIMM-connector. To get access to the SSB test points, do the following:

Before mounting the Rear Cover, some checks has to be performed:

• Check whether the Mains Cord is mounted correctly in the guiding brackets.

• Check whether all cables are replaced in their original position. This is very important due to the large 'hot' area of the set. Special attention must be paid to the right Loudspeaker cable and the degaussing cable.
