REPLACEMENT OF MEMORY IC
1. MEMORY IC
This TV uses the following memory IC.
Memory IC: IC1702 on MAIN PW Board
The memory IC memorizes data for correctly operating the
video and deflection circuits. When replacing the memory IC,
be sure to use the same type IC written with the initial values
of data. In other words, use the specific IC listed in "PRINTED
WIRING BOARD PARTS LIST". For its mounting location, re-
fer to "ADJUSTMENT LOCATIONS".
2. PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING MEMORY IC
(1) Power off
Switch the power off and unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet.
(2) Replacing the memory IC
Replace the memory IC with new one. Be sure to use the
memory IC written with the initial data values.
(3) Power on
Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and switch the
power on.
(4) Check and setting of SYSTEM CONSTANT SET:
1) Press the DISPLAY key and the PICTURE MODE key
on the remote control unit simultaneously.
The SERVICE MENU screen will be displayed. (See

2) In the SERVICE MENU, press the DISPLAY key and
PICTURE MODE key simultaneously. Then, the SYS-
TEM CONSTANT SET screen will be displayed. (See
Fig. 2.)
3) Check whether thesetting values ofthe SYSTEM CON-
STANT SET are the same as those indicated in Table

DEFLECTION CIRCUIT ADJUSTMENT
●There are 2 modes of adjustment (initial setting value) — 50Hz mode and 60Hz mode — depending upon the kind of signals (vertical
frequency 50Hz / 60Hz).
●When adjusted in 50Hz mode, 60Hz mode will be automatically set.
The setting (adjustment) using the remote control unit is made on the basis of the initial setting values.
The setting values which adjust the screen to the optimum condition can be different from the initial setting values.

PURITY ADJUSTMENT
1. Demagnetize CRT with the demagnetizer.
2. Loosen the retainer screw of the deflection yoke.
3. Remove the wedges. (Fig. 1.)
4. Input a green raster signal from the signal generator, and turn
the screen to green raster.
5. Move the deflection yoke backward.
6. Bring the long lug of the purity magnets on the short lug and
position them horizontally. (Fig. 2)
7. Adjust the gap between two lugs so that the green raster will
come into the center of the screen. (Fig. 3)
8. Move the deflection yoke forward, and fix the position of the
deflection yoke so that the whole screen will become green.
9. Insert the wedge to the top side of the deflection yoke so that it
will not move.
10. Input a cross-hatch signal.
11. Verify that the screen is horizontal.
12. Input red and blue raster signals, and make sure that purity is
properly adjusted.
Note: The picture tube includes the deflection yoke and purity magnets, and purity and convergence adjustments are precisely adjusted
at the factory.

1. Input a cross-hatch signal.
2. Using 4-pole convergence magnets, overlap the red and blue
lines in the center of the screen (Fig. 1) to turn them to magenta
(red/blue).
3. Using 6-pole convergence magnets, overlap the magenta (red/
blue) and green lines in the center of the screen to turn them to
white.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 above, and make best convergence.
DYNAMIC CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENT
1. Move the deflection yoke up and down and overlap the lines in
the periphery. (Fig. 2)
2. Move the deflection yoke left to right and overlap the lines in the
periphery. (Fig. 3)
3. Repeat 1 and 2 above, and make best convergence.
●After adjustment, fix the wedge at the original position.
Fasten the retainer screw of the deflection yoke.
Fix the 6 magnets with glue.

SELF-CHECK FUNCTIONS
1. Outline
This model has self-check functions given below. When an abnormality has been detected, the SUB POWER is turned off and the ON
TIMER LED flashes to inform of the failure. An abnormality is detected by the signal input state of the control line connected to the
microcomputer.
2. Self-check items
3. Self-check indicating function
At about 3 seconds after the power is turned on, the self-check
function starts.
In the case where an abnormality has been detected within
the subsequent 2 seconds, the ON TIMER LED flashes, but
the SUB-POWER will be turned on when the elapsed time af-
ter power on reaches 5 seconds.
When an abnormality has been detected at about 5 seconds
after power on, the ON TIMER LED flashes, and then the SUB
POWER will be turned off immediately.
[ Indication by the LED ]
Item ON TIMER LED flashing intervals Priority of detection
①Over-current protection At 0.25-second intervals 1
➁CRT NECK protection At 0.5-second intervals 2
Note: In case of ①+ ➁, the item ①is indicated.
Check item
Over-current protection
CRT NECK protection
Details of detection
An over-current on the low B line
is detected.
Operation of CRT NECK protec-
tion circuit
Method of detection
The main microcomputer detects
the possible abnormality at 30-
msec.intervals and judgesthe re-
sults in every 16 time. Of the 16
times, if NG is detected more
than 9 times, it is judged that
there is an abnormality.
DITTO
State of abnormality
When an abnormality has been
detected, the SUB-POWER is
turned off. While the SUB-
POWER is being turned off, the
POWER key on the remote con-
trolunit isnot operational until the
power cord is taken out and put
in again.
