WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

CAUTION!

AFTER REMOVING THE ANODE, SHORT CIRCUIT THE ANODE OF THE PICTURE TUBE AND THE ANODE CAP TO THE METAL

CHASSIS, CRT SHIELD, OR CARBON PAINTED ON THE CRT.

WARNING!!

AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER SHOULD BE USED DURING ANY SERVICE TO AVOID POSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD, BECAUSE OF LIVE CHASSIS. THE CHASSIS OF THIS RECEIVER IS DIRECTLY

CONNECTED TO THE AC POWER LINE.

SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!

COMPONENTS IDENTIFIED BY SHADING AND MARK ¡ ON THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS, EXPLODED VIEWS AND IN THE PARTS LIST ARE CRITICAL FOR SAFE OPERATION. REPLACE THESE COMPONENTS WITH SONY PARTS WHOSE PART NUMBERS APPEAR AS SHOWN IN THIS MANUAL OR IN SUPPLEMENTS PUBLISHED BY SONY. CIRCUIT ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR SAFE OPERATION ARE IDENTIFIED IN THIS MANUAL. FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES WHENEVER CRITICAL COMPONENTS ARE

REPLACED OR IMPROPER OPERATION IS SUSPECTED.

ATTENTION!

APRES AVOIR DECONNECTE LE CAP DE L'ANODE, COURT-CIRCUITER L'ANODE DU TUBE CATHODIQUE ET CELUI DE L'ANODE DU CAP AU CHASSIS METALLIQUE DE L'APPAREIL, OU AU COUCHE DE CARBONE PEINTE SUR LE TUBE CATHODIQUE OU AU BLINDAGE DU TUBE CATHODIQUE.

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

); older homes will probably have 300-ohm

twin lead cable (see

); still other homes may

contain both (see

Cable Box Connections

Some pay cable TV systems use scrambled or

encoded signals that require a cable box to

view all channels.

Cable box

Connect the coaxial connector from your

cable to the IN on your cable box.

Using a coaxial cable, connect OUT on

your cable box to VHF/UHF on your TV.

Cable box and cable

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.
