Safety & Maintenance Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

2. Safety & Maintenance Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

2.1 Safety Instructions For Repairs

2.1.1 General Safety

Safety regulations require that during a repair

• Due to the ‘hot’ parts of this chassis, the set must be

connected to the AC power via an isolation 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. Pay 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: – 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 tothe deflection

coil

– 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 AC power cord for external

damage.

• Check the strain relief of the AC power cord for for proper

function, to prevent the cord from touching the CRT, hot components,or heat sink.

• Check the electrical DC resistance between the AC plug

and the secondary side (only for sets that have an isolated power supply). Do this as follows:

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

2. Turn on the main power switch (keep the AC power cord unplugged)

3. Measure the resistance value between the pins of the AC plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the aerial connection of the set. The reading should be between 4 M and 8 M.

4. Switch the TV OFF and remove the wire between two pins of the AC plug.

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

Figure 2-1 Class 1 Laser Product

Note: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of

procedure other than those specified herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Avoid direct exposure to beam.

2. 1.3 Sh ock , F ire Hazar d Serv ice Te st

Caution: After servicing this appliance and prior to returning to

customer, measure the resistance between either primary AC cord connector pins (with unit NOT connected to AC mains and its Power switch ON), and the face or Front panel of the product and controls and chassis bottom. Any resistance measurement less than 1 Megohms should cause unit to be repaired or corrected before AC power is applied, and verified before return to user/customer. Ref. UL Standard NO. 1492 Note on safety: Symbol : Fire or electrical shock hazard. Only original parts should be used to replace any part with symbol  (other than original type), may increase risk or fire or electrical shock hazard.

2. 2 2. 2 Ma i n te n a nc e I n st r u cti o n s

It is recommended to have a maintenance inspection carried out by qualified service personnel. 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 three to five years.

• When the set is used 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.

2.3 Warnings

2.1.2 2.1.2 Laser Safety

This unit employs a laser .Only qualified service personel remove the cover, or attempt to service this device (duo to possible eye injury).

Laser Device Unit

Type : semiconductor laser

GaA/As Wavelength : 650 nm (DVD) : 780 nm (VCD/CD) Output Power : 7 mW (DVD) : 10 mW (VCD/DVD) Beam divergence : 60 degree

2.3.1 2.3.1 General

• 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 dischage 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).

Safety & Maintenance Instructions, Warnings, and Notes

Figure 2-2

• All ICs 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 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. Adjustment of this unit during repair is therefore not recommended.

• Be careful during measurements in the high voltage sect i o n sec t i on an d o n the p i c ture t u be.

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

EN 5TC4.1U AA 2.

• 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.

• 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.

2.3.2 Laser

• The use of optical instruments with this product, will increase eye hazard.

• Only qualified service personnel may remove the cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible eye injury.

• Repair handling should take place as much as possible with a disc loaded inside the player.

• Text below is placed inside the unit, on the laser cover shield.

• Measure the voltages and waveforms with regard to the chassis (= tuner) ground (), or hot ground (),depending on the area of circuitry being tested.

• The voltages and waveforms shown in the diagrams are indicative. Measure them in the Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a color bar signal and stereo sound (L:3KHz, R: 1KHz unless stated otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25MHz (PAL) or 61.25MHz (NTSC, channel

Press the VOLUME UP/DOWN button on the set or on the remote control to start

the auto searching when the TV turns black. Then all available channels will be stored

from No.1(Cable mode) or No.2 (Antenna mode) upward in order and the TV remains

black during the whole process. Auto-searching will stop after all the frequency bands

are searched, and the last programme which you select before auto search action will

reappear on the screen. If you want to exit auto search, just press on the remote

control.

First select the signal source. Activate the PRESET menu, press CHANNEL UP/

Press the VOLUME UP/DOWN button on the set or on the remote control to

select Antenna or Cable to be the signal source.

NOTE

Press and hold the MENU button on the front panel of the unit for a few seconds to start auto search action

directly. Besides, if the signal source is Cable, you can get 125 programs, from channel 1 to channel 125,
