BRIGHTNESS LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Note: Grayscale Adjustment and High Voltage Check must be
completed before attempting Brightness Level
Adjustment.
1. Connect a color-bar generator to the antenna terminals.
2. Switch the generator to the crosshatch pattern.
3. Reset the picture controls to the Sports level.
4. Connect voltmeter (high impedance) + lead to terminal
TP51 and – lead to terminal TP50 on main board. Set
voltmeter for 1.5V ~ 3V range.
5. Turn off the receiver and disconnect the AC power cord.
6. While pressing the MENU key, reconnect the AC power
cord. The Service Menu display will now appear.
7. Select NO. 28 SB (Sub Brightness) with ▲ or ▼ key.
8. Adjust the data with + or – key for 890 mVDC.
9. Press the MENU key to turn off the Service Menu display.
10. Check brightness level on every active channel, readjust
(repeat steps 5 ~ 9), if necessary.
Note: Do not set to excessive brightness level, otherwise
the contrast level will be suppressed.
HIGH VOL T AGE HOLD-DOWN TEST
Every time the receiver is serviced, the HIGH VOLTAGE
HOLD-DOWN circuit must be tested for proper operation by
following these steps:
1. Connect receiver to 120V AC line. Tune receiver to active
channel. Reset the picture controls to the Sports level.
2. Check that the voltage measured between TP7 and TE7
(ground side) is within 16.5 VDC to 21 VDC. If the voltage
is out of this range, the Hold-Down Circuit must be checked.
3. Connect a DC Voltage supply to TP7 and TE7 through a
100 ohm 1/4W resistor. Adjust the DC voltage to 23 VDC.
The receiver should shutdown, losing raster and sound.
Then the receiver should turn off automatically. This
reaction indicates that the Hold-Down circuit is functioning properly. If the receiver does not shutdown, a
malfunction is indicated and its cause must be found and
corrected.
4. To obtain picture again, remove the DC Supply and wait
a few minutes. Now turn on the receiver.
HIGH VOL T AGE CHECK
Note: +B (+130V) Voltage Check and Grayscale Adjustment
must be completed before attempting High Voltage
Check.
1. Connect high voltage voltmeter – lead to ground, and
connect + lead to anode of picture tube.
2. Tune receiver to an active channel and confirm TV is
operating properly.
3. Eliminate the beam current by adjusting the contrast and
brightness controls to minimum.
4. Confirm high voltage is within 29.9 KV and 34.6 KV. If
reading is not within range, check horizontal circuit.
No high-voltage adjustment is provided on this chassis.
FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
Adjust focus control (T402) for well defined scanning lines.
MULTI-SOUND SECTION ADJUSTMENTS
Note: Multi-Sound Section must be adjusted after
A101 (U/V Tuner), IC3401 (MTS Decoder), or IC802
(EEPROM) is replaced.
INPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
1. Connect a signal to the antenna terminals with audio of
1 KHZ 100% modulation.
2. Turn off the receiver and disconnect the AC power cord
(AC 120V line).
3. Connect voltmeter (RMS) to TP317 and ground.
4. While pressing the Menu key, reconnect the AC power
cord. The Service Menu will now appear.
5. Select NO. 105 ATT (MTS Input Level) with the ▲ or ▼
key.
6. Adjust the + or – key for a voltmeter reading of 400 ± 20
mVrms at TP317.
SEP ARA TION AD JUSTMENT
7. Turn off the receiver and disconnect the AC power cord
(AC 120V line).
8. Connect oscilloscope CH1 to TP317 and CH2 to TP318
and ground.
9. Connect an MTS TV/Stereo generator to antenna terminal.
10. While pressing the Menu key, reconnect the AC power
cord. The Service Menu will now appear.
11. Select pilot, 300Hz audio frequency and Left modulating
signal.
12. Select NO. 106 WDB (Wideband) with the ▲ or ▼ key.
13. Adjust the + or – key for minimum low frequencies at
TP317. (See Figure 4.)
14. Select 4 KHz audio frequency and Right modulating signal.
15. Select NO. 107 SPC (Spectral) with the ▲ or ▼ key.
16. Adjust the + or – key for minimum high frequencies at
TP318. (See Figure 4.)
Repeat adjustments (steps 11–16) until no further decreases
in amplitude can be obtained. Press the MENU key to turn
off the Service Menu display.
PURITY AND CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENTS
Purity and Convergence have been aligned at the factory.
No re-alignment is necessary.
