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
» Use an AC voltmeter having with 5000 ohm per volt,
or higher, sensitivity or measure the A C v oltage drop
1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit
should be attempted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.
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 rms (this corresponds to 0.5
mA rms AC.) or more is excessive and indicates a
potential shock hazard which must be corrected
A V
CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED
PROTECTION AGAINST A RISK OF
FIRE REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME
TYPE 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.
» 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
TO EXPOSED
METAL PARTS
earth ground, such as electrical conduit or electrical
ground connected to an earth ground.
Many electrical and mechanical parts in Liquid Cr ystal
color 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
components having such features are identified b y “ å”
and shaded areas in the
Replacement Parts List
Schematic Diagrams.
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 or other hazards.

PRECAUTIONS A PRENDRE LORS DE LA REPARATION
Ë
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.
PRECAUTION: POUR LA
PRO TECTION CONTINUE CONTRE
LES RISQUES D'INCENDIE,
REMPLACER LE FUSIBLE
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 résistancecapacité, 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 suiv ante:
• 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 kΩ 10 watts en parallèle a v ec 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
5000Ω/V pour mesurer la chute de tension en travers
de la résistance.
• Toucher 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
0.7 mA.
Dans le cas contraire, il y a une possibilité de choc
électrique qui doit être supprimée avant de rendre le
récepteur au client.
De nombreuses pièces, électriques et mécaniques, dans
les téléviseurs présentent des caractéristiques spéciales
relatives à la sécurité, qui ne sont souvent pas évidentesà vue. Le degré de protection ne peut pas être
nécessairement augmentée en utilisant des pièces de
remplacement étalonnées pour haute tension,
puissance, etc.
Les pièces de remplacement qui présentent ces
caractéristiques sont identifiées dans ce manuel; les
pièces électriques qui présentent ces particularités sont
identifiées par la marque " å " et hachurées dans la
liste des pièces de remplacement et les diagrammes
schématiques.
Pour assurer la protection, ces pièces doivent être
identiques à celles utilisées dans le circuit d'origine.
L'utilisation de pièces qui n'ont pas les mêmes
caractéristiques que les pièces recommandées par
l'usine, indiquées dans ce manuel, peut provoquer des
électrocutions, incendies, radiations X ou autres
accidents.

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 ho w 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, remov e the bit from the PWB as soon as y ou 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 allo y ed 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.
