SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!
There are special components used in this color monitor
which are important for safety. These parts are marked
on the schematic diagram and the replacement
parts list. It is essential that these critical parts should be
replaced with the manufacturer's specified parts to prevent
X-radiation, shock, fire, or other hazards. Do not modify
the original design without obtaining written permission
from manufacturer or you will void the original parts and
labor guarantee.
CAUTION:
No modification of any circuit should be
attempted.
Service work should be performed only after
you are thoroughly familiar with all of the
following safety checks and servicing
guidelines.
SAFETY CHECK
Care should be taken while servicing this color monitor
because of the high voltage used in the deflection circuits.
These voltages are exposed in such areas as the
associated flyback and yoke circuits.
FIRE & SHOCK HAZARD
An isolation transformer must be inserted between the
color monitor and AC power line before servicing the
chassis.
• In servicing, attention must be paid to the original lead
dress specially in the high voltage circuit. If a short
circuit is found, replace all parts which have been
overheated as a result of the short circuit.
• All the protective devices must be reinstalled per the
original design.
• Soldering must be inspected for the cold solder joints,
frayed leads, damaged insulation, solder splashes, or
the sharp points. Be sure to remove all foreign
materials.
IMPLOSION PROTECTION
All used display tubes are equipped with an integral
implosion protection system, but care should be taken to
avoid damage and scratching during installation. Use only
same type display tubes.
X-RADIATION
The only potential source of X-radiation is the picture tube.
However, when the high voltage circuitry is operating
properly there is no possibility of an X-radiation problem.
The basic precaution which must be exercised is keep the
high voltage at the factory recommended level; the normal
high voltage is about 27kV. The following steps describe
how to measure the high voltage and how to prevent X-
radiation.
Note : It is important to use an accurate high voltage
meter calibrated periodically.
• To measure the high voltage, use a high impedance
high voltage meter, connect (–) to chassis and (+) to
the CDT anode cap.
• Set the brightness control to maximum point at full
white pattern.
• Measure the high voltage. The high voltage meter
should be indicated at the factory recommended level.
• If the meter indication exceeds the maximum level,
immediate service is required to prevent the possibility
of premature component failure.
• To prevent X-radiation possibility, it is essential to use
the specified picture tube.

SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Before servicing receivers covered by this
service manual and its supplements and addenda, read
and follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS on page 3 of this
publication.
NOTE: If unforeseen circumstances create conflict
between the following servicing precautions and any of the
safety precautions on page 3 of this publication, always
follow the safety precautions. Remember: Safety First.
General Servicing Precautions
1. Always unplug the receiver AC power cord from the AC
power source before;
a. Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit
board module or any other receiver assembly.
b. Disconnecting or reconnecting any receiver electrical
plug or other electrical connection.
c. Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an
electrolytic capacitor in the receiver.
CAUTION: A wrong part substitution or incorrect
polarity installation of electrolytic capacitors may
result in an explosion hazard.
d. Discharging the picture tube anode.
2. Test high voltage only by measuring it with an
appropriate high voltage meter or other voltage
measuring device (DVM, FETVOM, etc) equipped with
a suitable high voltage probe.
Do not test high voltage by "drawing an arc".
3. Discharge the picture tube anode only by (a) first
connecting one end of an insulated clip lead to the
degaussing or kine aquadag grounding system shield
at the point where the picture tube socket ground lead
is connected, and then (b) touch the other end of the
insulated clip lead to the picture tube anode button,
using an insulating handle to avoid personal contact
with high voltage.
4. Do not spray chemicals on or near this receiver or any
of its assemblies.
5. Unless specified otherwise in this service manual,
clean electrical contacts only by applying the following
mixture to the contacts with a pipe cleaner, cotton-
tipped stick or comparable non-abrasive applicator;
10% (by volume) Acetone and 90% (by volume)
isopropyl alcohol (90%-99% strength)
CAUTION: This is a flammable mixture.
Unless specified otherwise in this service manual,
lubrication of contacts in not required.
6. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks
with which receivers covered by this service manual
might be equipped.
7. Do not apply AC power to this instrument and/or any of
its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state device
heat sinks are correctly installed.
8. Always connect the test receiver ground lead to the
receiver chassis ground before connecting the test
receiver positive lead.
Always remove the test receiver ground lead last.
9. Use with this receiver only the test fixtures specified in
this service manual.
CAUTION: Do not connect the test fixture ground strap
to any heat sink in this receiver.
Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid-state) devices can be
damaged easily by static electricity. Such components
commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES)
Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated
circuits and some field-effect transistors and
semiconductor "chip" components. The following
techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of
component damage caused by static by static electricity.
1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor
component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain
off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a
known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a
commercially available discharging wrist strap device,
which should be removed to prevent potential shock
reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with
ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive
surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic
charge buildup or exposure of the assembly.
3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or
unsolder ES devices.
4. Use only an anti-static type solder removal device.
Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-
static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to
damage ES devices.
5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES
devices.
6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its
protective package until immediately before you are
ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are
packaged with leads electrically shorted together by
conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable
conductive material).
7. Immediately before removing the protective material
from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the
protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly
into which the device will be installed.
CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis
or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged
replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion
such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or
the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can
generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ES
device.)

General Soldering Guidelines
1. Use a grounded-tip, low-wattage soldering iron and
appropriate tip size and shape that will maintain tip
temperature within the range or 500¡£F to 600¡£F.
2. Use an appropriate gauge of RMA resin-core solder
composed of 60 parts tin/40 parts lead.
3. Keep the soldering iron tip clean and well tinned.
4. Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be soldered. Use a
mall wire-bristle (0.5 inch, or 1.25cm) brush with a
metal handle.
Do not use freon-propelled spray-on cleaners.
5. Use the following unsoldering technique
a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normal
temperature.
(500¡£F to 600¡£F)
b. Heat the component lead until the solder melts.
c. Quickly draw the melted solder with an anti-static,
suction-type solder removal device or with solder
braid.
CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating the
circuitboard printed foil.
6. Use the following soldering technique.
a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach a normal
temperature (500¡£F to 600¡£F)
b. First, hold the soldering iron tip and solder the strand
against the component lead until the solder melts.
c. Quickly move the soldering iron tip to the junction of
the component lead and the printed circuit foil, and
hold it there only until the solder flows onto and
around both the component lead and the foil.
CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating the
circuit board printed foil.
d. Closely inspect the solder area and remove any
excess or splashed solder with a small wire-bristle
brush.
IC Remove/Replacement
Some chassis circuit boards have slotted holes (oblong)
through which the IC leads are inserted and then bent flat
against the circuit foil. When holes are the slotted type,
the following technique should be used to remove and
replace the IC. When working with boards using the
familiar round hole, use the standard technique as
outlined in paragraphs 5 and 6 above.
Removal
1. Desolder and straighten each IC lead in one operation
by gently prying up on the lead with the soldering iron
tip as the solder melts.
2. Draw away the melted solder with an anti-static
suction-type solder removal device (or with solder
braid) before removing the IC.
Replacement
1. Carefully insert the replacement IC in the circuit board.
2. Carefully bend each IC lead against the circuit foil pad
and solder it.
3. Clean the soldered areas with a small wire-bristle
brush. (It is not necessary to reapply acrylic coating to
the areas).
"Small-Signal" Discrete Transistor
Removal/Replacement
1. Remove the defective transistor by clipping its leads as
close as possible to the component body.
2. Bend into a "U" shape the end of each of three leads
remaining on the circuit board.
3. Bend into a "U" shape the replacement transistor leads.
4. Connect the replacement transistor leads to the
corresponding leads extending from the circuit board
and crimp the "U" with long nose pliers to insure metal
to metal contact then solder each connection.
Power Output, Transistor Device
Removal/Replacement
1. Heat and remove all solder from around the transistor
leads.
2. Remove the heat sink mounting screw (if so equipped).
3. Carefully remove the transistor from the heat sink of the
circuit board.
4. Insert new transistor in the circuit board.
5. Solder each transistor lead, and clip off excess lead.
6. Replace heat sink.
Diode Removal/Replacement
1. Remove defective diode by clipping its leads as close
as possible to diode body.
2. Bend the two remaining leads perpendicular y to the
circuit board.
3. Observing diode polarity, wrap each lead of the new
diode around the corresponding lead on the circuit
board.
4. Securely crimp each connection and solder it.
5. Inspect (on the circuit board copper side) the solder
joints of the two "original" leads. If they are not shiny,
reheat them and if necessary, apply additional solder.
Fuse and Conventional Resistor
Removal/Replacement
1. Clip each fuse or resistor lead at top of the circuit board
hollow stake.
2. Securely crimp the leads of replacement component
around notch at stake top.
3. Solder the connections.
CAUTION: Maintain original spacing between the
replaced component and adjacent components and the
circuit board to prevent excessive component
temperatures.

Circuit Board Foil Repair
Excessive heat applied to the copper foil of any printed
circuit board will weaken the adhesive that bonds the foil
to the circuit board causing the foil to separate from or
"lift-off" the board. The following guidelines and
procedures should be followed whenever this condition is
encountered.
At IC Connections
To repair a defective copper pattern at IC connections use
the following procedure to install a jumper wire on the
copper pattern side of the circuit board. (Use this
technique only on IC connections).
1. Carefully remove the damaged copper pattern with a
sharp knife. (Remove only as much copper as
absolutely necessary).
2. carefully scratch away the solder resist and acrylic
coating (if used) from the end of the remaining copper
pattern.
3. Bend a small "U" in one end of a small gauge jumper
wire and carefully crimp it around the IC pin. Solder the
IC connection.
4. Route the jumper wire along the path of the out-away
copper pattern and let it overlap the previously scraped
end of the good copper pattern. Solder the overlapped
area and clip off any excess jumper wire.
At Other Connections
Use the following technique to repair the defective copper
pattern at connections other than IC Pins. This technique
involves the installation of a jumper wire on the
component side of the circuit board.
1. Remove the defective copper pattern with a sharp
knife.
Remove at least 1/4 inch of copper, to ensure that a
hazardous condition will not exist if the jumper wire
opens.
2. Trace along the copper pattern from both sides of the
pattern break and locate the nearest component that is
directly connected to the affected copper pattern.
3. Connect insulated 20-gauge jumper wire from the lead
of the nearest component on one side of the pattern
break to the lead of the nearest component on the
other side.
Carefully crimp and solder the connections.
CAUTION: Be sure the insulated jumper wire is
dressed so the it does not touch components or sharp
edges.

DESCRIPTION OF BLOCK DIAGRAM
- 17 -
1. Line Filter & Associated Circuit.
This is used for suppressing noise of power input line
flowing into the monitor and/or some noise generated
in this monitor flowing out through the power input
line.
That is to say, this circuit prevents interference
between the monitor and other electric appliances.
2. Degauss Circuit & Coil.
The degauss circuit consists of the degaussing coil,
the PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor
(TH901), and the relay (RL901). This circuit eliminates
abnormal color of the screen automatically by
degaussing the slot mask in the CDT when turn on the
power switch.
When you need to degauss while using the monitor,
select DEGAUSS on the OSD menu.
3. SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply).
This circuit works with power of 100~240V or
200~240V (50/60Hz) specially for PFC version.
The operation procedure is as follows:
1) AC input voltage is rectified and smoothed by
the bridge diode (D901) and the capacitor (C905).
2) The rectified voltage (DC voltage) is applied to the
primary coil of the transformer (T901).
3) The control IC (IC901) generates switching pulse
to turn on and off the primary coil of the
transformer (T901) repeatedly.
4) Depending on the turn ratio of the transformer, the
secondary voltages appear at the secondary coil of
the transformer (T901).
5) These secondary voltages are rectified by each
diode (D924, D926, D923, D929, D922, D921,
D920) and operate the other circuits. (Deflection,
Video Amplifier, etc.)
4. Display Power Management Circuit.
This circuit control power consumption of the monitor
by detecting H and V sync signal. There are stand-by
and suspend mode. When no horizontal or vertical
sync signal input, the circuit consists of Q913, Q915
and IC401 control signal becomes stand-by and
suspend mode. It’s power consumption is below 8W.
When no horizontal and vertical sync signal input, it’s
power consumption is below 1W.
5. X-ray Protection.
This circuit detects the rectified DC voltage comes
from the FBT pin 4. If the high voltage of the FBT
reaches up to about 30kV (abnormal state), H.V
control (IC802) detects. It stops B+voltage supplied to
the FBT (T701), and high voltage is not be generated,
(In the normal state, the high voltage is about 26kV.)
6. Micom(Microprocessor) Circuit.
The operating procedure of Micom (Microprocessor)
and its associated circuit is as follows:
1) H and V sync signal is supplied from Signal Cable to the
Micom (IC401).
2) The Micom (IC401) distinguishes polarity and
frequency of Hand V sync.
3) The Micom controls each OSD function signals.
(H-size, H-position, V-size, etc.)
4) The controlled data of each mode is stored in IC402.
User can adjust screen condition by each OSD
function. The data of the adjust screen condition is
stored automatically.
7. Horizontal and Vertical Synchronous Processor.
This circuit generates the horizontal drive pulse and
the vertical drive pulse by taking sync-signal from
Signal Cable. This circuit consists of the
TDA4841(IC801) and the associated circuit.
8. Oscillating Circuit for D/D Converter.
This circuit generates the pulse wave which has the
horizontal period by taking the output of the
TDA4841(IC801).
9. D/D (DC to DC) Converter.
This circuit supplies DC voltage to the horizontal
deflection output circuit by decreasing DC 192V which
is the secondary voltage of the SMPS in accordance
with the input horizontal sync signal.
10. D/D Drive & Convert Circuit.
This circuit is used for supplying B+voltage to
horizontal deflection output transistor (Q801).
11. Horizontal Deflection Output Circuit.
This circuit makes the horizontal deflection by
supplying the saw-tooth current to the horizontal
deflection yoke.

- 18 -
12. High Voltage Output & FBT (Flyback Transformer).
The high voltage output circuit is used for generating
pulse wave to the primary coil of the FBT (Flyback
Transformer (T701)). A boosted voltage (about 27kV)
appears at the secondary of the FBT and it is supplied
to the anode of the CDT.
And there are another output voltages such as the
dynamic focus voltage.
13. H-Linearity Correction Circuit.
This circuit corrects the horizontal linearity for each
horizontal sync frequency.
14. Vertical Output Circuit.
This circuit takes the vertical wave from the
TDA4841(IC801) and performs the vertical deflection
by supplying the saw-tooth wave current from the
TDA4867J (IC601) to the vertical deflection yoke.
15. Dynamic Focus Output Circuit.
This circuit takes H and V parabola wave from the
TDA4841(IC801), and amplifies these waves to offer
to the FBT (T701).
16. H & V Blanking and Brightness Control.
This circuit eliminates the retrace line by supplying a
negative pulse to the G1 of the CDT.
17. Image Rotation (Tilt) Circuit.
This circuit corrects the tilt of the screen by supplying
the image rotation signal to the tilt coil which is
attached to the CDT near the deflection.
18. Static Convergence Control Circuit.
This circuit corrects the convergence of the screen by
supplying the convergence signal to the 4H (STC) coil
which is attached to the CDT near the deflection.
19. Moire Reduction Circuit
This circuit reduce interference between the periodical
display pattern and the CDT's slot (or dot).
The positions of every other one dot video signal
beams (red, green, and blue beam) are shifted finely,
thus reducing interference.
20. OSD Circuit.
This circuit is used for performing the OSD (On-
Screen- Display) function.
When a user selects the OSD Select/Adjustment
control, the adjustment status displays on the screen.
21. Video Pre-Amp Circuit.
This circuit amplifies the analog video signal from 0-
0.7V to 0-4V. This circuit is operated by taking the
clamp, R, G, B drives, and contrast signals from the
Micom (IC401).
22. Video Output Amp Circuit.
This circuit amplifies the video signal which comes
from the video pre-amp circuit and amplified video
signal is applied to the CDT cathode.
