SECTION 1

SAFETY NOTES

KLV-32V400A, V400B

RM-GA011

1-1. Caution Handling of LCD Panel

When installing the LCD Panel, make sure you are grounded
with a wrist band.
When installing the LCD Panel on the wall, the panel must be
secured using the 4 mounting holes on the rear cover.

1) Do not press the panel or frame edge to avoid the risk of
electric shock.

2) Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp
objects.

3) Do not leave the module in high temperature or in areas of
high humidity for an extended period of time.

4) Do not expose the LCD panel to direct sunlight.

5) Avoid contact with water. It may cause short circuit within
the module.

6) Disconnect the AC adapter when replacing the backlight
(CCFL) or inverter circuit. (High voltage occurs at the inverter
circuit at 650Vrms)

7) Always clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth material.

8) Use care when handling the wires or connectors of the
inverter circuit. Damaging the wires may cause a short circuit.

9) Protect the panel from ESD to avoid damaging the elec­tronic circuit (C-MOS).

1-2. Safety Check-Out

After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the
customer:-

1-3. Leakage Test

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth
ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed
metal part having a return to chassis must not exceed 0.5mA
(500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by
any one of the three methods:-

1. A commercial leakage tester such as the SIMPSON 229
or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers instructions to
use those instructions.

2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. The DATA
PRECISION 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job.

3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means
of a VOM or battery operated AC voltmeter. The 'limit' indica­tion is 0.75V so analog meters must have an accurate low
voltage scale. The SIMPSON'S 250 and SANWA SH-63TRD
are examples of passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all
battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2 VAC range
are suitable. (see FIGURE 1)

Parts on Set

0.15 µF

1.5 k

Ω

AC
Voltmeter
(0.75 V)

1) Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly
soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for
solder splashes and bridges.

2) Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
"pinched" or contact high-wattage resistors.

3)Check all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps and
mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain
you have replaced all the insulators.

4) Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly
transistors that were installed during a previous repair. Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5) Look for parts which, though functioning show obvious
signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.

6) Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion.
Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the
customer.

7) Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized"
knobs, screws and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage test as described next.

1-5. LED Free Information

The circuit boards used in these models have been processed
using Lead Free Solder. The boards are identified by the LF
logo located close to the board designation.

Figure 2: LF logo

Figure 3: LF logo on circuit board

The servicing of these boards requires special precautions. It
is strongly recommended to use Lead Free Solder material in
order to guarantee optimal quality of new solder joints. Lead
Free Solder is available under the following part numbers:-

Due to high melting point of Lead Free Solder, the soldering
iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees
centigrade. This requires soldering equipment capable of
accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat
recovery characteristics.

Handle the AC power cord and outlet as follows in
order to avoid any risk of fire, electrical shock or
damage and/or injuries:

– Use only Sony supplied AC power cords, not those of

other brands.
– Insert the plug fully into the AC power outlet.

when the TV set is just turned off, pull the plug from the
AC power outlet to disconnect the TV set completely.

• However, some TV sets may have features that require the
TV set to be left in standby to work correctly.

For children

• Do not allow children to climb on the TV set.

• Keep small accessories out of the reach of children, so that
they are not mistakenly swallowed.

If the following problems occur...

Turn off the TV set and unplug the AC power cord
immediately if any of the following problems occur.
Ask your dealer or Sony service centre to have it
checked by qualified service personnel.

When:

– AC power cord is damaged.
– Poor fitting of AC power outlet.
– TV set is damaged by being dropped, hit or having

something thrown at it.

– Any liquid or solid object falls through openings in the

cabinet.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This
is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a
malfunction.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on
top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD
screen may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in
the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the
temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in
use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal.
Mercury is sometimes contained depending on the kind of
fluorescent tubes. Follow your local ordinances and
regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the TV set

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set
from AC power outlet before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and
cabinet material.

• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so
as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from
its table stand.

Optional Equipment

Keep optional components or any equipment emitting
electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise
picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
