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 FUSE.

F703 (2A, 250V), F704 (117°C, 2A) F705 (1A,
DC450V)

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.
» 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 0.75 Vrms (this corresponds to 0.5
mA rms AC.) or more is excessive and indicates a
potential shock hazard which must be corrected
before returning the monitor to the owner.

Precautions for using lead-free solder

1 Employing lead-free solder

"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.

DUNTKC796FE02 (LC-32GA5U)

2.Upgrading of each microprocessor software

Caution: Never "POWER OFF" the unit when software upgrade is ongoing.
Otherwise the system may be damaged beyond recovery.

2-1 Software version upgrade

The model employs the following software.

» Main software
» Monitor microprocessor software (Display)

The main software and the monitor microprocessor software can be upgraded by using a general-purpose SD
memory card.
The followings are the procedures for upgrading, explained separately for each of the main software, the
monitor microprocessor software and the card microprocessor software.

2-2 Main software version upgrade

Get ready before you start

» SD memory card of 16MB or higher capacity
» PC running on Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP operating system
» SD memory card reader/writer with USB connectivity and PC card adapter
» SD memory card formatting software

(Downloadable at http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html)

20

LC-26GA5U
LC-32GA5U

Preparations
To upgrade the main software, it is necessary to get ready the SD card for version upgrade before you start.

Follow the steps below and create the SD card for version upgrade.

1 Insert the SD card into the SD card reader/writer. Start the SD card formatting software. Click [Format].

(When you have the drive options, select the drive where the SD card is inserted before you proceed.)

2 When the formatting is over, the following window appears. Click [OK].

3 Click [End] to finish the formatting.

Note: When you are done, take out the SD card once to make sure it is finished, and then insert it again.

4 Copy the binary image file KA5UAxxx.SDC (named temporarily) for version upgrade to the root directory

(folder) of the SD card drive.

Note: In the SD card drive, do not store other folders or unrelated files, or more than one binary image files for

version upgrade.
Now the SD card for version upgrade is ready.

21

LC-26GA5U
LC-32GA5U

How to upgrade the software

1 Unplug the AC cord.
2 Insert the SD card for version upgrade (prepared as above) into the service socket located below left of the

right side cooling fan in the rear of the unit, in a way that the cut corner of the SD card comes at the right­hand side.

Note: If the SD card is inserted in a wrong way, the card will go deep inside the unit beyond retrieval. Take due

care to insert the SD card correctly.

3 While depressing the "SYSTEM RESET" button located below the RS-232C connector in the rear left side

of the unit, plug in the AC cord.

Note: After the unit is started, you may release the "SYSTEM RESET" button.

4 After the unit startup, the system upgrade screen as shown below appears within 10-20 seconds.

8 Now the software version upgrade is complete.

Note: When you are done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment

process screen and check the main software version information.

2-3 Monitor microprocessor software version upgrade

Get ready before you begin
Get ready the same items as listed in the "Main software version upgrade".
Preparation
Create the SD card for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade in the same manner as explained in

the "Main software version upgrade". Copy the binary image file for monitor microprocessor software version
upgrade to the SD card drive.

How to upgrade the software
During the monitor microprocessor software version upgrade, the progress of upgrading is not shown on the

display screen. The upgrading process is seen in the blinking of the power LED.

1 Unplug the AC cord.
2 Insert the SD card for version upgrade (prepared as above) into the service socket located below left of the

right side cooling fan in the rear of the unit, in a way that the cut corner of the SD card comes at the right­hand side.

Note: If the SD card is inserted in a wrong way, the card will go deep inside the unit beyond retrieval. Take due

care to insert the SD card correctly.

3 While depressing the "SYSTEM RESET" button located below the RS-232C connector in the rear left side

of the unit, plug in the AC cord.

Note: After the unit is started, you may release the "SYSTEM RESET" button.

Caution!!
The moment this operation is done, the upgrading of the monitor microprocessor software starts.
While the upgrade is ongoing, never power off the unit. Otherwise the upgrade will fail and the
system may have a serious damage beyond recovery (inability to start).

23

LC-26GA5U
LC-32GA5U

4 After the unit startup, the power LED starts blinking in green within 10-20 seconds.
5 Wait until the power LED stops blinking, the unit restarts automatically, and the normal startup screen

appears (it will take 2-3 minutes).

6 Shut off the AC power to the unit (unplug the AC cord), and remove the SD card for version upgrade.
7 Now the software version upgrade is complete.

Note: When you are done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment

process screen and check the monitor microprocessor software version information.

3.Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode

(1) Before entering the adjustment process mode, press the "RESET" button or execute the AV position

RESET in the video adjustment menu.

(2) While holding down the "VOL (–)" and "INPUT" keys at a time, press the "POWER" button of the main unit

to turn on the power. (The "VOL (–)" and "INPUT" keys should be pressed and held until the display
appears.)
The letter "K" appears on the screen.

(3) Next, hold down the "VOL (–)" and "CH (Ù)" keys at a time.

Multiple lines of blue characters appearing on the display indicate that the unit is now in the adjustment
process mode.
When you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the
procedure.

(4) To exit the adjustment process mode after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC cord from the outlet to

make a forced shutdown. (When the power was turned off with the remote controller, once unplug the AC
cord and plug it again. In this case, wait 10 seconds or so before plugging.)

Caution: Use due care in handling the information described here lest your users should
know how to enter the adjustment process mode. If the settings are tampered in this mode,
unrecoverable system damage may result.
