SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the
customer:
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 that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground
straps, and mounting hardware have been replaced.
Be absolutely certain that 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 B+ and HV to see if they are specified
values. Make sure your instruments are accurate;
be suspicious of your HV meter if sets always have
low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized"
knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for
AC Leakage. Check leakage as described below.
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 0.5 mA (500 microampere).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or
RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to
use these instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. 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 0.75 V, 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
2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate
retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground.
If the retaining screw is to be used as your earth-ground, verify
that it is at ground by measuring the resistance between it and a
cold-water pipe with an ohmmeter. The reading should be zero
ohms. If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60-l00 watts
trouble light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the re-
ceptacle and the retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to
locate the hot side of the line, the lamp should light at normal
brilliance if the screw is at ground potential. (See Fig. B)

Note about the AC Power Cord
The AC power cord is attached to the rear of
the TV with hooks. Use caution when
removing the AC plug from its holder. Gently
slide the cord in the upward direction, without
removing the cord from the two lower hooks.
Cable or Antenna Connections
Connecting directly to cable or an
antenna
The connection you choose will depend on the
cable found in your home. Newer homes will
be equipped with standard coaxial cable (see
A
); older homes will probably have 300-ohm
twin lead cable (see
B
); still other homes may
contain both (see
C
).

Cable Box Connections
Some pay cable TV systems use scrambled or
encoded signals that require a cable box to
view all channels.

For this set up, you can switch between
scrambled channels (through your cable box),
and normal (CATV) channels by pressing
ANT on your remote control.
Notes
• Your Sony remote control can be
programmed to operate your cable box,
(see page 31).
• When using PIP, you cannot view the
AUX input in the window picture.

REMOVAL PROCEDURES
Turn up one side of the rubber cap in
the direction indicated by arrow .
Use your thumb to pull the rubber cap
firmly in the direction indicated by
arrow .
HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP
Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the sur-
face of the anode-cap.
Do not squeeze the rubber covering too hard to avoid damaging
the anode-cap. A material fitting called a shatter-hook terminal is
built into the rubber.
Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause
the shatter-hook terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.
When one side of the rubber cap sepa-
rates from the anode button, the anodecap can be removed by turning the rubber cap and pulling it in the direction of
