Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2. Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2.1Safety instructions for repairs

Safety regulations require that during a repair:

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

•Safety components, indicated by the symbol , 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 MW and 12 MW.

–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.

2.3Warnings

•In order to prevent damage to IC's and transistors, all high-voltage 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 high-voltage probe and a multimeter (position VDC). Discharge until the meter reading is 0 V (after approx. 30 s).

V

CL96532156_040.eps

Figure 2-1

•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.

2.2Maintenance 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.

GB 5

2.4Notes

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

•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 ( ) and without ( ) aerial signal. Voltages in the power supply section are measured both for normal operation ( ) and in Standby ( ). 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.

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV.The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.

Video recorder

Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain the optimum picture quality, eurocable 3 as shown opposite.

If your video recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, the eurocable supplied with it should be connected to EXTERNAL 2 to benefit from the EasyLink functionality.

If the eurocable 3 is not used the following steps are required:

Search for and store the test signal of the video recorder

& Unplug the aerial cable 1 from the aerial socket x of your video recorder.

éSwitch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test signal. (See the handbook for your video recorder.)

“Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same way as you searched for and stored the TV signals. See Installation, Searching for and storing TV channels, Manual installation, p. 5.

‘ Store the test signal under programme number 0 or between 90 and 99.

(Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket x of your video recorder after you have stored the test signal.

Decoder and video recorder

Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of your video recorder. See also the video recorder handbook.

See Define Decoder/Descrambler prog. numbers, p. 7.

You can also connect your decoder directly to EXTERNAL 1 or 2 with a eurocable.

Video recorder and other peripherals (except Digital Sources)

&Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and 3 as shown opposite. Better picture quality can be obtained if you also connect eurocable 5 to EXTERNAL 2 and a eurocable 4 to EXTERNAL 1 or EXTERNAL 3.

éLook for the test signal of your peripheral in the same way as you do for a video recorder.

When a video recorder is connected to EXTERNAL 1 you can only record a programme from your TV.

Only when a video recorder is connected to EXTERNAL 2 it is possible to record a programme from your TV as well as from other connected equipment. See Record with your video recorder, p. 26.

Note: EXTERNAL 1 can handle CVBS and RGB, EXTERNAL 2 CVBS and Y/C and RGB,

Glossary

100 Hz

100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) – a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye.

Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)

Automatically installs all TV channels in the same order as offered by your cable company, provided of course that the data is transmitted. It also automatically includes programme number and programme name.

With ACI, channel installation is fully automatic, simple and fast.

Child lock

Feature to prevent unauthorised use of your TV.

Digital Scan

If you look at a television screen you will see small imperfections in the picture caused by line vibration. Digital Scan (an internal process) removes interline flicker. When combined with 100 Hz, you will see a totally stable image.

It enables the user to see a description of every programme, and mark interesting programmes to be reminded (auto TV on) or recorded (NEXTVIEWLink video recorder required).

NTSC
