■ LEAD-FREE SOLDER

The PWB’ s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder. The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread. Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.

Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use soldering iron is recommendable.

Solder composition code

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is confirmed.

Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.

If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after completion of soldering work.

If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.

1-2. Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal

Caution: When connecting, ensure that the TV is switched off.

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally around cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (commercially available).

A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead"

2. cable that can be attached to a 75ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (commercially available).

Notes:

• The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended.

• When you first receive this TV, it has no memory of any chan-

nels. To receive channels, perform the EZ Setup after the first power-on, or use "CH Setup" in the Setup menu.

■ Outdoor antenna connection

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.

A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.

• Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the antenna input terminal (ANT-IN) on the right side of the TV.

■ Cable TV (CATV) connection

• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the antenna input terminal (ANT-IN).

• Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/ descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

Note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required

(commercially available).

"A" position on the RF switch (commercially available):

You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel buttons.

"B" position on the RF switch (commercially available):
