IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY PRECAUTION

Ë

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

WARNING

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

2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.

CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED
PROTECTION AGAINST A RISK OF
FIRE REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME
TYPE F6700 (1.6A, AC250V), F6702

A V

(1.6A, AC250V), F7701 (3.15A, 250V)
AND F7702 (5A, 250V) FUSE.

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, and check 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, insulation materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation
resistor-capacitor networks, mechanical insulators, 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, and
connect the DC power cable into the receiver's DC jack.
(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).

• Using two 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 an earth ground.

• Use an AC voltmeter having with 5000 ohm per volt, or
higher, sensitivity or 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, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop
across the resistor.
All checks must be repeated with the AC cord plug
connection reversed. (If necessary, a nonpolarized
adaptor plug must be used only for the purpose of
completing these checks.)
Any reading of 0.75V peak (this corresponds to 0.5 mA.
peak AC.) or more is excessive and indicates a potential
shock hazard which must be corrected before returning
the monitor to the owner.

SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD television
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, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical

and shaded areas in the

Schematic Diagrams

For continued protection, replacement parts must be
identical to those used in the original circuit.
The use of 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 or other hazards.

Precautions for using lead-free solder

1 Employing lead-free solder

"All PWBs" of this model employs lead-free solder. The LF symbol indicates lead-free solder, and is attached on
the PWBs and service manuals. The alphabetical character following LF shows the type of lead-free solder.
Example:

L Fa

Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.

2 Using lead-free wire solder

When fixing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with conventional
lead wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks.
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40°C, we recommend
you to use a dedicated soldering bit, if you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free wire solder or soldering bit,
contact our service station or service branch in your area.

3 Soldering

As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is about 220°C which is higher than the conventional lead
solder by 40°C, and as it has poor solder wettability, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the
PWB for extended period of time. However, Since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance
temperature of parts may be exceeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you confirm the steady soldering
condition.
Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corroded. Make sure to turn on
and off the power of the bit as required.
If a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder. Clean the bit after
every use of it.
When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, file it with steel wool or fine sandpaper.

Be careful when replacing parts with polarity indication on the PWB silk.

(Process-adjusted settings not reprogrammed)

2-2. Calling the adjustment process mode
There are two ways to call this mode.
* Turn on the power and press the "ADJUST PROCESS" key on the remote controller.
* Keep KEY4 (pin (81) of microprocessor) at "L" and turn on the power.
* For servicing: Hold down the INPUT key and VOL (–) key at once, and turn on the power switch.("K" appears at

the top left of the screen to indicate the inspection process mode.) → Press the CH (ù) key and VOL (–) key at
once. (The adjustment process mode screen shows up.) _ To quit, turn off the power. (Or turn off the power switch
or turn off the remote controller.)

* Using the CH (Ù)/(ù) keys, turn up and down an actual receiving channel.

Snap press: The channels are turned up and down one by one.
Continuous press: The next receivable channel is searched.

*Various adjustments: The items are adjusted one by one by selecting on the menu screen and using the cursor

key and VOL (+)/(–) keys.
* With the CURSOR UP/DOWN keys, select an adjustment item.
* Using the MENU key, the adjustment items are selected one after another. When the bottom item on a page is

already selected and the MENU key is pressed, the top item on the next page is selected.
* If any item on a page is selected and the preset key is pressed, the top item on the next page is selected.

Page 1 → Page 2 → Page 3 → Page 7→ Page 9 → Page 1 ...
* If any item on a page is selected and the manual memory key is pressed, the top item on the same page is

selected.
* Using the CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT keys and VOL (+)/(–) keys, turn up and down the setting of a selected item.

Hierarchical shift
* When the ENTER key is pressed on any item other than I2C DATA on page 4, the setting page of the item shows

up.

8. Lamp error detection

8-1. Functional description

This LCD color television has a function (lamp error detection) to be turned off automatically for safety when
the lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal.
If the lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal, or some other errors happen, and the lamp error detection is
executed, the followings occur.
1 The main unit of television is turned off 5 seconds after it is turned on. (The power LED on the front side of

TV turns from green to red.)

2 If the situation 1 happens 5 times sequentially, television can not be turned on. (The power LED remains

red.)

8-2. Countermeasures
8-2-1. Check when turning off the lamp error detection

When television is turned off by the lamp error detection mentioned above, it enters the adjustment
process with the power LED red. Entering the adjustment process turns off the error detection and turns
on TV.
This enables the operation check to detect errors in the lamp or lamp circuit.
Check whether "ERROR NO RESET" on line 4, page 1 of the adjustment process is 1 or more. If it is 1 or
more, it indicates the lamp error detection was executed.

8-2-2. Resetting of the lamp error count

After confirming that the lamp or lamp circuit is normal, reset the lamp error count. Select "ERROR NO
RESET" on line 4, page 1 of the adjustment process and set the number to 0 using the "VOL (+)/(–)"
keys.
