Safety Instructions
X-RAY RADIATION PRECAUTION
1. The E.H.T. must be checked every time the
receiver is serviced to ensure that the C.R.T.
does not emit X-ray radiation as result of
excessive E.H.T. voltage. The nominal E.H.T.
for this receiver is 26.5 kV at zero beam
current (minimum brightness) operating at
240V a.c. The maximum E.H.T. voltage
permissible in any operating circumstances
must not exceed 29.0 kV. When checking the
E.H.T., use the ‘High Voltage Check’ procedure in this manual using an accurate E.H.T.
voltmeter.
2. The only source of X-RAY radiation in this
receiver is the C.R.T. To prevent X-ray
radiation, the replacement C.R.T. must be
identical to the original fitted as specified in
the Parts List.
3. Some components used in this receiver have
safety related characteristics preventing the
C.R.T. from emitting X-ray radiation. For
continued safety, replacement component
should only be made after referring the
Product Safety Notice below.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. This receiver has a nominal working E.H.T.
voltage of 24.5 kV. Extreme caution should be
exercised when working on the receiver with
the back removed. Do not attempt to service
this receiver if you are not conversant with the
precautions and procedures for working on
high voltage equipment. When handling or
working on the C.R.T., always discharge the
anode to the receiver chassis before removing the anode cap. The C.R.T., if broken, will
violently expel glass fragments. Use shatter
proof goggles and take extreme care while
handling. Do not hold the C.R.T. by the neck
as this is a very dangerous practice.
2. It is essential that to maintain the safety of the
customer all cable forms be replaced exactly
as supplied from factory.
3. A small part of the chassis used in this
receiver is, when operating, at approximately
half mains potential at all times. It is therefore
essential in the interest of safety that when
serving or connecting any test equipment the
receiver should be supplied via a suitable
isolating transformer of adequate rating.
4. Replace blown fuses within the receiver with
the fuse specified in the parts list.
5. When replacing wires or components to
terminals or tags, wind the leads around the
terminal before soldering. When replacing
safety components identified by the international hazard symbols on the circuit diagram
and parts list, it must be a Toshiba approved
type and must be mounted as the original.
6. Keep wires away from high temperature
components.
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical components in
this chassis have special safety-related
characteristics. These characteristics are often
passed unnoticed by a visual inspection and the
X-ray radiation protection afforded by them
cannot necessarily be obtained by using
replacements rated at higher voltages or
wattage, etc. Components which have these
special safety characteristics in this manual and
its supplements are identified by the interna-

Service Adjustments
GENERAL INFORMATION
All adjustments are thoroughly checked and
corrected when the receiver leaves the factory.
Therefore the receiver should operate normally
and produce proper colour and B/W pictures
upon installation. However, several minor
adjustments may be required depending on the
particular location in which the receiver is
operated.
This receiver is shipped completely in cardboard
carton. Carefully draw out the receiver from the
carton and remove all packing materials. Plug
the power cord into a convenient 240 volts 50
Hz AC two pin power outlet. Turn the receiver
ON. Check and adjust all the customer controls
such as BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST and
COLOUR Controls to obtain natural colour or B/
W picture.
AUTOMATIC DEGAUSSING
A degaussing coil is mounted around the picture
tube so that external degaussing after moving
the receiver is normally unnecessary, providing
the receiver is properly degaussed upon
installation. The degaussing coil operates for
about 1 second after the power to the receiver is
switched ON. If the set is moved or faced in a
different direction, the power switch must be
switched off at least 30 minutes in order that the
automatic degaussing circuit operates properly.
Should the chassis or parts of the cabinet
become magnetized to cause poor colour purity,
use an external degaussing coil. Slowly move
the degaussing coil around the faceplate of the
picture tube, the sides and front of the receiver
and slowly withdraw the coil to a distance of
about 2 m before disconnecting it from AC
source. If colour shading still persists, perform
the COLOUR PURITY ADJUSTMENT and
CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENTS procedures.
HIGH VOLTAGE CHECK
CAUTION: There is no HIGH VOLTAGE
ADJUSTMENT on this chassis.
1. Connect an accurate high voltage meter to
the second anode of the picture tube.
2. Turn on the receiver. Set the BRIGHTNESS
and CONTRAST Controls to minimum (zero
beam current).
3. High voltage will be measured below 29.0 kV.
HORIZONTAL CENTRE ADJUSTMENT
1. Receive the UK PHILIPS pattern.
2. Set the contrast and colour to centre, and the
brightness to centre.
3. Adjust H. CENTER USER Control (R452) so
the pattern centre can be located at the
screen centre.
FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
Adjust FOCUS Control on FLYBACK TRANS.
(T461) for well defined scanning lines in the
centre area on the screen.
SIF FM DET (LG04) ADJUSTMENT (NICAM
BOARD)
1. Connect SIF generator through 0.01 pF
capacitor to pin D1 of PD01 on NICAM Board.
2. Connect the oscilloscope to pin 9 of ICD03.
3. Set up the SIF generator as described.
Sound carrier frequency: 6.0 MHz
Modulation frequency :1000 Hz Frequency
deviation : ± 15 kHz
Signal level :100 dBp (50 ohm load)
4. Adjust LG04 for the maximum response of
1000 Hz det-out on scope.
PAL MATRIX ADJUSTMENT
1. Tune in the colour programme of the Philips
pattern.
2. Set the COLOUR Control to obtain the proper
colour.
3. If the PAL MATRIX adjustment is incorrect,
the Venetian Blind would appear in the colour
bars area. This case needs the adjustment.
4. At the first, adjust DL PHASE ADJ. Coil (L551)
to minimize the Venetian Blind.
5. Next adjust 1H-DL ADJ. VR (R551) to
minimize the Blind.
6. If the Venetian Blind still remains, adjust 1 HDL PHASE ADJ. Coil (L551) to minimize the
Blind again.
7. Repeat the item 5 and 6 procedures, adjust
the R551 and L551 until the Blind does not
appear.
CRT GREY SCALE ADJUSTMENT
1. Tune in an active channel.
2. Set the SERVICE SW. (S202) in the “H. LINE”
position.
3. Turn the SCREEN Control (on T461) fully
counterclockwise.
4. By rotating the RED, GREEN and BLUE CUT
OFF Controls (R557, R558, R559) to the mid
position.
5. Set the GREEN and BLUE DRIVE Controls
(R252, R253) to the center.
6. Rotate the SCREEN Control gradually
clockwise until the first line appears slightly on
the screen. Set the SCREEN Control to this
position.
7. Adjust the CUT OFF Controls to obtain the
slightly lighted horizontal lines in the same
levels of three colours (RED, GREEN and
BLUE). The lines may look like white if the
CUT OFF Controls are adjusted properly.
8. Set the SERVICE SW. (S202) in the “RECEIVE” position.
9. Set the CONTRAST and COLOUR Controls
to minimum, and BRIGHTNESS Control to the
maximum.
10.Adjust the BLUE and GREEN DRIVE
Controls (R252/R253) to obtain proper whitebalanced picture in high light areas.
11.Set the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST
Controls to obtain dark grey raster. Then
check the white balance in low brightness. If
the white balance is not proper, retouch the
CUT OFF Controls and DRIVE Controls to
obtain a good white balance in both low and
high light areas.
SUB-BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT
1. Tune in a colour programme.
2. Set the CONTRAST Control to the minimum
and the BRIGHTNESS Control to the centre.
3. Set the COLOUR Control to the centre.
4. Set the SUB-BRIGHT. Control (R255) to the
centre and leave the receiver for five minutes
in this state.
5. Watching the picture well, adjust the SUBBRIGHT. Control in the position where the
picture does not show evidence of blooming in
high bright area and not appear too dark in
low bright portion.
6. Check the proper picture variation by rotating
the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS Controls
to both extremes.
7. If the picture does not appear dark with the
CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS Controls
turned to the minimum, or not appear bright
with the controls turned to the maximum,
adjust the SUB-BRIGHT. Control again for the
acceptable picture.
