IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY PRECAUTION

Service work should be performed only by qualified service technicians who are thoroughly familiar with all safety checks and servicing guidelines which follow:

WARNING

1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit should be attempted.

2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.

3. Semiconductor heat sinks are potential shock hazards when the chassis is operating.

4. The chassis in this receiver has two ground systems which are separated by insulation material. The nonisolated (hot) ground system is for the B+ voltage regulator circuit and the horizontal output circuit.The isolated ground system is for the low B+ DC voltages and the secondary circuit of the high voltage transformer. To prevent electrical shock use an isolation transformer between the line cord and power receptacle, when servicing this chassis.

CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST A RISKOF FIRE, REPLACE

4A 125V

ONLY WITH SAME TYPE 4A125V FUSE.

SERVICING OF HIGH VOLTAGE SYSTEM AND PICTURE TUBE

When servicing the high voltage system, remove the static charge by connecting a 10k ohm resistor in series with an insulated wire (such as a test probe) between the picture tube ground and the anode lead. (AC line cord should be disconnected from AC outlet.)

1. Note that the picture tube in this receiver employs integral implosion protection.

2. Replace with tube of the same type number for continued safety.

3. Do not lift picture tube by the neck.

4. Handle the picture tube only when wearing shatterproof goggles and after discharging the high voltage anode completely.

X-RADIATION AND HIGH VOLTAGE LIMITS

1. Be sure all service personnel are aware of the procedures and instructions covering X-radiation. The only potential source of X-ray in current solid state TV receivers is the picture tube. However, the picture tube does not emit measurable X-Ray radiation if the high voltage is as specified in the "High Voltage Check" instructions. It is only when high voltage is excessive that Xradiation is capable of penetrating the shell of the picture tube including the lead in glass material. The important precaution is to keep the high voltage below the maximum level specified.

2. It is essential that servicepersonel have available at all times an accurate high voltage meter. The calibration of this meter should be checked periodically.

3. High voltage should always be kept at the rated value

-no higher. Operation at higher voltages may cause a failure of the picture tube or high voltage circuitry and;also,under certain conditions, may produce radiation that exceeds specifications.

4. When the high voltage regulator is operating properly there is no possibility of an X-radiation problem. Every time a color chassis is serviced, thebrightness should be tested while monitoring the high voltage with a meter to be certain that the high voltage does not exceed the specified value and that it is regulating correctly.

5. Do not use a picture tube other than that specified or make unrecommended circuit modifications to the high voltage circuitry.

6. When trouble shooting and taking test measurements on a receiver with excessive high voltage, avoid being unnecessarily close to the receiver. Do not operate the receiver longer than is necessary to locate the cause of excessive voltage.

BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER (Fire & Shock Hazard)

Before returning the receiver to the user, perform the following safety checks.

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other metal parts in the receiver.

2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical insulators and etc.

3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for leakage current in the following manner.

» Plug the AC cord directly into a 120 volt AC outlet,

(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).

» Using to clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt

resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known earth ground, such as electrical conduit or electrical ground connected to earth ground.

» Use an AC voltmeter having with 5000 ohm per volt,

or higher, sensitivity to measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor.

» Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metal

parts having a return to the chassis (antenna, metal cabinet, screw heads, knobs and control shafts, escutcheon and etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. AII check must be repeated with the AC line cord plug connection reversed. (If necessary, a nonpolarized adapter plug must be used only for the purpose of completing these check.) Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Any measurements not within the limits outlined above are indicative of a potential shock hazard and corrective action must be taken before returning the instrument to the customer.

SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in television receivers have special safety-related characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be necessarily increased by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage and etc. Replacement parts which have special safety characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical components having such features are identified by " å" and shaded areas in the Replacement Parts Lists and Schematic Diagrams.

234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121

For continued protection, replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuit. The use of a substitute replacement parts which do not have the same safety characteristics as the factory recommended replacement parts shown in this service manual, may create shock, fire, X-radiation or other hazards.

PRECAUTIONS A PRENDRE LORS DE LA REPARATION

Ne peut effectuer la réparation qu' un technicien spécialisé qui s'est parfaitement accoutumé à toute vérification de sécurité et aux conseils suivants.

AVERTISSEMENT

1. N'entreprendre aucune modification de tout circuit. C'est dangereux.

2. Débrancher le récepteur avant toute réparation.

3. Les déversoirs thermiques à semi-conducteurs peuvent présenter un danger de choc électrique lorsque le réceqteur est en marche.

4. Le châssis de ce récepteur a deux systèmes de mise à la terre qui sont séparés par un matériau isolant. Le système de mise à la terre non-isolée (chaud) est pour le circuit du régulateur de tension B+ et le circuit de sortie horizontale. Le système de mise à la terre isolé est pour les basses tensions C. C. B+ et le circuit secondaire du transformateur de haute tension.

PRECAUTION:POUR LA PROTECTION CONTINUE CONTRE LES RISQUES

4A 125V

D'INCENDIE, REMPLACER LE FUSIBLE P AR UN FUSIBLE DE MEME TYPE 4A-125V.

REP ARATION DU SYSTEME A HAUTE TENSION ET DU TUBE-IMAGE

Lors de la réparation de ce systéme, supprimer la charge statique en branchant une résistance de 10 k en série avec un fil isolé (comme une sonde d'essai) entre la mise à la terre du tube-image et le fil d'anodel. (Le corden d'alimentation doit être retiré de la prise murale.)

1. Il est à noter que le tube-image de ce récepteur est intégralement protégé contre l'implosion.

2. Par mesure de sécurité, changer le tube-image pour un tube du même numéro de type.

3. Ne pas lever le tube-image par son col.

4. Ne manipuler le tube-image qu'en porant des lunettes incassables et qu'après avoir déchargé totalement la haute tension.

LIMITES DES RADIATIONS X ET DE LA HAUTE TENSION

1. Tout le personnel réparateur doit être instruit des instructions et procédés relatifs aux radiations X. Le tube-image, seule source de rayons X dons les téleviseurs transistorisés, n'émet pourtant pas de rayons mesurables si la haute tension est maintenue à un niveau préconisé dans la section "Vérification de la haute tension". C'est seulement quand la haute tension est excessive que les rayons X peuvent entrer dans l'enveloppe du tube-image y compris le conducteur de verre. Il est important de maintenir la haute tension en-dessous du niveau spécifié.

2. Il est essentiel que le réparateur ait sous la main un voltmètre à haute tension qui doit être périodiquement étalonné.

3. La haute tension doit toujours être maintenue à la valeur de régime-et pas plus haute. L'opération à des tensions plus élevées peut entraîner une panne du tube-image ou du circuit à haute tension et, dans certaines conditions, peut entraîner une radiation dépassant les niveaux préscrits.

4. Quand le régulateur à haute tension fonctionne correctement, il n'y a aucun problème de radiation X. Chaque fois qu'un châssis couleurs est réparé, la luminosité doit être examinée bout en contrôlant la haute tension à l'aide d'un voltmètre pour s'assurer que la haute tension ne dépasse pas la valeur spécifiée et qu'elle soit correctement réglée.

5. Ne pas utiliser un tube-image autre que celui spécifié et ne pas effectuer de modifications déconseillées du circuit à haute tension.

6. Lors de la recherche des pannes et des mesures d'essai sur un récepteur qui présente une haute tension excessive, éviter de s'approcher inutilement du récepteur. Ne pas faire fonctionner le récepteur plus longtemps que nécessaire pour localiser la cause de la tension excessive.

VERIFICATIONS CONTRE L'INCEN-DIE ET LE CHOC ELECTRIQUE

Avant de rendre le récepteur à l'utilisateur , effectuer les vérifications suivantes.

1. Inspecter tous les faisceaux de câbles pour s'assurer que les fils ne soient pas pincés ou qu'un outil ne soit pas placé entre le châssis et les autres pièces métalliques du récepteur.

2. Inspecter tous les dispositifs de protection comme les boutons de commande non-métalliques, les isolants, le dos du coffret, les couvercles ou blindages de réglage et de compartiment, les réseaux de résistance-capacité, les isolateurs mécaniques, etc.

3. S'assurer qu'il n'y ait pas de danger d'électrocution en vérifiant la fuite de courant, de la facon suivante:

» Brancher le cordon d'alimentation directem-ent à une

prise de courant de 120V. (Ne pas utiliser de transformateur d'isolation pour cet essai).

» A l'aide de deux fils à pinces, brancher une résistance

de 1,5 k 10 watts en parallèle avec un condensateur de 0,15µF en série avec toutes les pièces métalliques exposées du coffret et une terre connue comme une conduite électrique ou une prise de terre branchée à la terre.

» Utiliser un voltmètre CA d'une sensibilité d'au moins

5000 /V pour mesurer la chute de tension en travers de la résistance.

» T oucher avec la sonde d'essai les pièces métalliques

exposées qui présentent une voie de retour au châssis (antenne, coffret métallique, tête des vis, arbres de commande et des boutons, écusson, etc.) et mesurer la chute de tension CA en-travers de la résistance. Toutes les vérifications doivent être refaites après avoir inversé la fiche du cordon d'alimentation. (Si nécessaire, une prise d'adpatation non polarisée peut être utilisée dans le but de terminer ces vérifications.) Tous les courants mesurés ne doivent pas dépasser 0,5 mA. Dans le cas contraire, il y a une possibilité de choc électrique qui doit être supprimée avant de rendre le récepteur au client.

INSTALLATION AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

Note: (1) When performing any adjustments to resistor controls and transformers use non-metallic

screwdriver or TV alignment tools.

(2) Before performing adjustment, TV set must be on at least 15 minutes.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION

The receiver is protected by a 4.0A fuse (F701), mounted on PWB-A, wired into one side of the AC line input.

X-RADIATION PROTECTOR CIRCUIT TEST

After service has been performed on the horizontal deflection system, high voltage system, or B+ system, test the X-Radiation protector circuit to ascertain proper operation as follows:

1. Apply 120V AC using a variac transformer for accurate input voltage.

2. Allow for warm up and using the remote controller, set the brightness level and contrast level to maximum.

3. Check the voltage of test point TP653. (It’s voltage should be about 10.1V DC.)

4. Apply external 13.1V DC at TP653 by using an external DC supply . The increased voltage will cause the horizontal oscillator to stop and the TV to shut off.

5. To re-start the oscillator, remove the external DC power supply and short together TP651 and TP652. Once the TV set operates normally again, remove the short between TP651 and TP652.

HIGH VOLTAGE CHECK

High voltage is not adjustable but must be checked to verify that the receiver is operating within safe and efficient design limitations as specified checks should be as follows:

1. Connect an accurate high voltage meter between ground and anode of Picture tube.

2. Operate receiver for at least 15 minutes at 120V AC line voltage, with strong air signal or properly tuned in test signal.

3. Set to Service mode on, "Mute" and bus data 1(Ymute on).

4. The voltage should be approximately 25.4kV (at zero beam). If a correct reading cannot be obtained, check circuitry for malfunctioning components. After the voltage test, "Mute" and bus data "0" (Ymute off).

PRECAUTIONS IN REASSEMBLING

MOUTING THE CASSETTE CONTROLLER

Initial setting is indispensable before placing the cassette controller in the mechanism. The initial setting is made in two ways;electrical and mechanical.

Electrical setting:

Make a short-circuit between TP7701 and TP7702 and be sure that the mechanism is back to its initial setting position (*1). Now place the cassette controller in position.(This method is used when the mechanism has been already set on its PWB.)

Pulley feed gear

Casecon drive gear

Screwdriver

Drive angle of

Large tooth

cassette control

Mechanical setting:

Turn the loading motor’s pulley feed gear using a screwdriver and be sure that the mechanism is back to its initial setting position (*1). Now place the cassette controller in position.(This method is applicable for the mechanism alone.)

COUPLING THE MECHANISM TO THE PWB

Match the mechanism’s projections with the two symbols (round reference and oval sub-reference) on the main PWB. Place the mechanism straight down in position with due care so that the mechanism chassis’s outer edges should not damage any parts nearby. Tighten up the two screws (one for fixing the mechanism and the head amplifier shield, the other on the main PWB’s soldering side and located near the loading motor) to fix the mechanism and main PWB. Reconnect the FFC cables (MH and AA, ME and AD, Drum Unit and AH) between the mechanism and main PWB. Parts to pay attention to:

Start and end sensors Q7703, Q7704 Record tip switch S7701

Take special care of the connectors (board to board; AC, AE, AL) between the mechanism and main PWB.
