Safety and Maintenance Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

2. Safety and Maintenance Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

EN 5MG3.2E 2.

2.1 Safety Instructions

Safety regulations require that during a repair:

• Connect the set to the mains via an isolation transformer, as there are 'hot' parts in this chassis.

• Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol , only by components identical to the original ones. Any other component substitution (other than original type) may increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.

• Wear safety goggles when you replace the CRT.

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

• General repair instruction: as a strict precaution, we advise you to re-solder the solder connections through which the horizontal deflection current is flowing. In particular this is valid for the:

1. pins of the line output transformer (LOT).

2. fly-back capacitor(s).

3. S-correction capacitor(s).

4. line output transistor.

5. pins of the connector with wires to the deflection coil.

6. other components through which the deflection current

flows.

Note: This re-soldering is advised to prevent bad connections due to metal fatigue in solder connections, and is therefore only necessary for television sets more than two years old.

• Route the wire trees and EHT cable correctly and secure them with the mounted cable clamps.

• Check the insulation of the mains cord for external damage.

• Check the strain relief of the mains cord for proper function, to prevent the cord from touching the CRT, hot components, or heat sinks.

• Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and the secondary side (only for sets that have an isolated power supply). Do this as follows:

1. Unplug the mains cord and connect a wire between the

two pins of the mains plug.

2. Turn on the main power switch (keep the mains cord

unplugged!).

3. Measure the resistance value between the pins of the

mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the aerial connection of the set. The reading should be between 4.5 MΩ and 12 MΩ.

4. Switch the TV 'off' and remove the wire between the

two pins of the mains plug.

• Check the cabinet for defects, to prevent the possibility of the customer touching any internal parts.

2.3 Warnings

• In order to prevent damage to ICs and transistors, avoid all high voltage flashovers. In order to prevent damage to the picture tube, use the method shown in Fig. 2-1, to discharge the picture tube. Use a high voltage probe and a multi-meter (position V reading is 0 V (after approx. 30 s).

Discharge Picture Tube

• All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD, symbol "). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that, during repair, 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 potential. Available ESD protection equipment: – Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,

connection box, extension cable and ground cable) 4822 310 10671.

– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.

• Together with the deflection unit and any multi-pole unit,

flat square picture tubes form an integrated unit. The deflection and the multi-pole units are set optimally at the factory. We do not recommend adjusting this unit during repair.

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

• Never replace modules or other components while the unit is 'on’.

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

). Discharge until the meter

2.2 Maintenance Instructions

We recommend a maintenance inspection carried out by qualified service personnel. The interval depends on the usage conditions:

• When a customer uses the set under normal circumstances, for example in a living room, the recommended interval is three to five years.

• When a customer uses the set in an environment with higher dust, grease, or moisture levels, for example in a kitchen, the recommended interval is one year.

• The maintenance inspection includes the following actions:

1. Perform the 'general repair instruction' noted above.

2. Clean the power supply and deflection circuitry on the

chassis.

3. Clean the picture tube panel and the neck of the picture

tube.

2.4 Notes

• Measure the voltages and waveforms with regard to the

chassis (= tuner) ground (,), or hot ground (-), depending on the tested area of circuitry.

• The voltages and waveforms shown in the diagrams are indicative. Measure them 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 (PAL) or 61.25 MHz (NTSC, channel 3).

• Where necessary, measure the waveforms and voltages with ()) and without (*) aerial signal. Measure the voltages in the power supply section both in normal operation (+) and in standby (/). These values are indicated by means of the appropriate symbols.

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

EN 6 MG3.2E2.

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

containing the day’s programme schedule.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

is a new way of presenting programme

schedules and offers more features than basic teletext.

With

. Broadcaster defined menus will not

be available.

If you select a programme number of a TV channel stored

in the favourite list as

NEX

IEW

provider, the selected TV

channel will provide

NEX

data and additional

information of its own broadcasts as well as from other

(non selected) TV channels.

Normally you will select the

NEX

the best selection via information from TV announcements

or from the newspapers.

Important:

In order for

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

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, under the door of the remote control,repeatedly to

select language group 1 or 2.

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.

Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain the

optimum picture quality,eurocable 3 as shown below.

If your video recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, the

eurocable supplied with it should be connected to

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

• Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.

5.1.2 Waveform Test Points

The chassis is equipped with test points, which are, in most cases, printed on the circuit board assemblies (if not, please check chapter 6 ‘test point overview’). They refer to the functional blocks. The test points have names starting with I for IF, S for sound etc. The numbering is done in a logical sequence for diagnostics.

Note: Not all test points are measured, but they can serve as identification names in Service communication (e.g. ComPair fault find trees, SearchMan files). In the following cases, there will be no waveform:

• When already a V or when the waveform does not have an added value.

• External AV-inputs are not measured, as the waveform is equal to the source (dependent of load resistor matching).

voltage is displayed in the diagrams,

Specifications

• Tuning frequency: 475.25 MHz for PAL/SECAM.

• Colour system: SECAM L for France or PAL B/G for the

rest of Europe.

• All picture settings at 50 % (brightness, colour, contrast).

• All sound settings at 50 % (except volume: at 25 %).

• Dealer Options. Extra features for the dealers.

Note: When an NVM was corrupted (or replaced) in the

MG3.1E chassis, the microprocessor replaced the content with default data (to assure that the set can operate). However, all presets and alignment values are gone now, and option numbers are also not correct. So, this was a very drastic way. In the MG3.2E chassis, the procedure is implemented in another way:

• The moment the processor recognises a corrupted NVM,

an extra line will be added to the SAM menu: 'Initialise NVM'.

• Now, you can do two things (dependent of the service instructions at that moment): – Save the content of the NVM via ComPair for

development analysis, before initialising. This will give the Philips Service department an extra possibility for diagnosis (e.g. when Development asks for this).

– Initialise the NVM (same as in the past, however now it

happens conscious).

How to Navigate

• In SAM, you can select the menu items with the ‘CURSOR UP/DOWN’ key on the RC-transmitter. The selected item will be highlighted. When not all menu items fit on the screen, move the ‘CURSOR UP/DOWN’ key to display the next/previous menu items.

• With the ‘CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT’ keys, it is possible to: – (De)activate the selected menu item. – Change the value of the selected menu item. – Activate the selected submenu.

• When you press the ‘MENU’ key in a submenu, you will

return to the previous menu.

How to Exit

Use one of the following methods:

• Press the ‘MENU’ button on the RC-transmitter.

• Switch the set to ‘STANDBY’ (/) via the RC-transmitter.

• Switch the set 'off' and 'on' with the mains switch.

• Press the ‘EXIT’ button on the DST.

5.2.3 Customer Service Mode (CSM)

Purpose

When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can call his dealer. The service technician can than ask the customer to activate the CSM, in order to identify the status of the set. Now, the service technician can judge the severness of the complaint. In many cases, he can advise the customer how to solve the problem, or he can decide if it is necessary to visit the customer. The CSM is a read only mode, therefore modifications in this mode are not possible.

How to Enter CSM

Use one of the following methods:

• Press the ‘MUTE’ button on the RC-transmitter simultaneously with the ‘MENU’ button on the TV (top control) for, at least, 4 seconds (be sure to point the RCtransmitter directly to the IR-receiver of the set, otherwise you will activate the 'Dealer Demo Mode').

• Key in the code 1 2 3 6 5 4 via the standard RC transmitter.

Notes

• Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no (user) menu on the screen!

• If you do not point the RC-transmitter correctly to the RCreceiver in the set, and you push the ‘MENU’ button for more than 6 s, the TV starts in 'demo' mode. To leave this mode, push ‘MENU’ again for more than 6 s.

After activation of the Customer Service Menu, the following screen (Customer Service Menu 0) will appear:
