All ICs and many other semi-conductors 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 via a wrist wrap with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this potential.

Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux décharges statiques (ESD). Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est prise à leur manipulation. Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de sécurité. Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que l’on utilise soient également à ce potentiel.

WARNUNG

Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen Entladungen (ESD). Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kan die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren. Veranlassen Sie, dass Sie im Reparaturfall über ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand verbunden sind mit dem gleichen Potential wie die Masse des Gerätes. Bauteile und Hilfsmittel auch auf dieses gleiche Potential halten.

Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen (ESD). Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen. Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat. Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal.

Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD). La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione. Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto a resistenza. Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili con quali si lavora siano anche a questo potenziale.

INFORMATION ABOUT LEAD-FREE SOLDERING

Philips CE is producing lead-free sets from 1.1.2005 onwards.

IDENTIFICATION:

Regardless of special logo (not always indicated) one must treat all sets from 1 Jan 2005 onwards, according next rules:

Example S/N:

• Use only lead-free solder alloy Philips SAC305 with order code 0622 149 00106. If lead-free solder-paste is required, please contact

the manufacturer of your solder-equipment. In general use of solder-paste within workshops should be avoided because paste is not easy to store and to handle.

• Use only adequate solder tools applicable for lead-free solder alloy. The solder tool must be able

• Adjust your solder tool so that a temperature around

• Mix of lead-free solder alloy / parts with leaded solder alloy / parts is possible but PHILIPS recommends strongly to avoid mixed

• Use only original spare-parts listed in the Service-Manuals. Not listed standard-material (commodities) has to be purchased at

• Special information for BGA-ICs:

• For sets produced before 1.1.2005 (except products of 2004), containing leaded solder-alloy and components, all needed spare-parts

• On our website www.atyourservice.ce.Philips.com

o To reach at least a solder-temperature of 40 o To stabilize the adjusted temperature at the solder-tip o To exchange solder-tips for different applications.

solder-joint should not exceed ~ 4 sec. Avoid temperatures above 400 otherwise wear-out of tips will rise drastically and flux-fluid will be destroyed. To avoid wear-out of tips switch off un-used equipment, or reduce heat.

solder alloy types (leaded and lead-free). If one cannot avoid or does not know whether product is lead-free, clean carefully the solder-joint from old solder alloy and re-solder with new solder alloy (SAC305).

external companies.

- always use the 12nc-recognizable soldering temperature profile of the specific BGA (for de-soldering always use the lead-free temperature profile, in case of doubt)

- lead free BGA-ICs will be delivered in so-called 'dry-packaging' (sealed pack including a silica gel pack) to protect the IC against moisture. After opening, dependent of MSL-level seen on indicator-label in the bag, the BGA-IC possibly still has to be baked dry. (MSL=Moisture Sensitivity Level). This will be communicated via AYS-website. Do not re-use BGAs at all.

Bottom line of typeplate gives a 14-digit S/N. Digit 5&6 is the year, digit 7&8 is the week number, so in this case 2005 wk12

So from 0501 onwards = from 1 Jan 2005 onwards

Important note you avoid mixing solder-alloys (leaded/ lead-free). So best to always use SAC305 and the higher temperatures belong to this.

Due to lead-free technology some rules have to be respected by the workshop during a repair:

You will find this and more technical information within the "magazine", chapter "workshop news".

SERVICE INSTRUCTION

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

· Route the wire trees correctly and fix them with the mounted cable clamps.

· Check the insulation of the AC Power lead for external damage.

· Check the strain relief of the AC Power cord for proper function.

· Check the electrical DC resistance between the AC Power Plug and the secondary side (only for sets which have a AC Power isolated power supply):

1. Unplug the AC Power cord and connect a wire between the two pins of the AC Power plug.

2. Set the AC Power switch to the "on" position (keep the AC Power cord unplugged!).

3. Measure the resistance value between the pins of the AC Power plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the aerial connection on the set. The reading should be larger than 4.5 Mohm (For U.S. it should be between

4.2 Mohm and 12 Mohm).

4. Switch "off" the set, and remove the wire between the two pins of the AC Power plug.

• Check the cabinet for defects, to avoid touching of any

inner parts by the customer.

Solution

Important notes for users in the

U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13

Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug

proceed as follows:

Remove fuse cover and fuse.

Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket

outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate

plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should

have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse

is used, the fuse at the distribution board

should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to

avoid a possible shock hazard should it be

inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with

the following code: blue = neutral (N),

brown = live (L).

∂ As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in

your plug, proceed as follows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal

marked N or coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal

marked L or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth

terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or

coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain

that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath

of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Recording and playback of material may

require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and

The Performer’s Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

CAUTION

Use of controls or adjustments or

performance of procedures other than

herein may result in hazardous
