SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by in
the Schematic Diagram and Replacement Parts List.
It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to
prevent X-RADIATION, Shock, Fire, or other Hazards.
Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.
General Guidance
An isolation Transformer should always be used during
the servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from
the AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating
as this protects the technician from accidents resulting in
personal injury from electrical shocks.
It will also protect the receiver and it's components from being
damaged by accidental shorts of the circuitry that may be
inadvertently introduced during the service operation.
If any fuse (or Fusible Resistor) in this monitor is blown, replace
it with the specified.
When replacing a high wattage resistor (Oxide Metal Film
Resistor, over 1W), keep the resistor 10mm away from PCB.
Keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature parts.
Due to high vacuum and large surface area of picture tube,
extreme care should be used in handling the Picture Tube.
Do not lift the Picture tube by it's Neck.
Leakage Current Cold Check(Antenna Cold Check)
With the instrument AC plug removed from AC source,
connect an electrical jumper across the two AC plug prongs.
Place the AC switch in the on position, connect one lead of
ohm-meter to the AC plug prongs tied together and touch other
ohm-meter lead in turn to each exposed metallic parts such as
antenna terminals, phone jacks, etc.
If the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the
measured resistance should be between 1MΩ and 5.2MΩ.
When the exposed metal has no return path to the chassis the
reading must be infinite.
An other abnormality exists that must be corrected before the
receiver is returned to the customer.
Leakage Current Hot Check (See below Figure)
Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet.
Do not use a line Isolation Transformer during this check.
Connect 1.5K/10watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15uF capacitor
between a known good earth ground (Water Pipe, Conduit, etc.)
and the exposed metallic parts.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor using AC
voltmeter with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity.
Reverse plug the AC cord into the AC outlet and repeat AC
voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part. Any
voltage measured must not exceed 0.75 volt RMS which is
corresponds to 0.5mA.
In case any measurement is out of the limits specified, there is
possibility of shock hazard and the set must be checked and
repaired before it is returned to the customer.

- Connect the VIDEO INPUT socket (yellow) to the VIDEO INPUT on the set.
- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO (L/MONO) input on the set.
- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved; compared to connecting a regular VCR
to the Video input.
- Use the orbiter function to Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. Typically a frozen still pic-
ture from a VCR. (Refer to p. 25)
If a 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed image may remain visible on the screen.
- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and set.
Watching TV programmes
- Turn the set on and select the programme you
want.
Watching VCR

Connecting PC
- To enjoy vivid picture and sound, connect a PC to the set.
- Avoid keeping a fixed image on the set’s screen for a long period of time. The fixed image may become permanently imprinted on
the screen; use a screen saver when possible.
-Connect PC to the RGB INPUT(PC INPUT) or DVI INPUT(DIGITAL RGB INPUT) port of the set; change the resolution output of
PC accordingly.
-There might be a noise according to some resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness in PC mode. Then change the PC
mode into other resolution or change the refresh rate into other rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the menu until the
picture is clean. If the refresh rate of the PC graphic card can not be changed, change the PC graphic card or consult it to the
manufacturer of the PC graphic card.
- The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.
Setup Instructions to Connect a PC to your set
- We recommend using 640x480, 60Hz for the PC mode, they provide the best picture quality.
- If the resolution of PC is over UXGA, there will be no picture on the set.
-Connect the signal cable from the set output port of the PC to the RGB INPUT port of the set or the signal cable from the DVI out-
put port of the PC to the DVI INPUT port on the set.
- Connect the audio cable from the PC to the Audio input on the set. (Audio cables are not included with the set).
- If using a sound card, adjust PC sound as required.
-This set apply a VESAPlug and Play Solution. The set provides EDID data to the PC system with a DDC protocol. The PC adjusts
automatically to use this set.
- DDC protocol is preset for RGB (Analog RGB), DVI (Digital RGB) mode.
- If required, adjust the set settings for Plug and Play functionally.
-If graphic card on the PC does not output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, connect only one of both RGB INPUT or DVI
INPUT to display the PC on the set.
If graphic card on the PC does output analog and digital RGB simultaneously, set the set to either RGB or DVI; (the other mode
is set to Plug and Play automatically by the set.)
- DOS mode may not work depending on video card if using a DVI-I cable.

(3) The adjustment must be performed in the circumstance of
25±5°C of temperature and 65±10% of relative humidity if
there is no specific designation.
(4) The input voltage of the receiver must keep 100~220V,
50/60Hz.
(5) The receiver must be operated for about 15 minutes prior
to the adjustment.
OAfter RGB Full white HEAT-RUN Mode, the receiver must
be operated prior to adjustment.
OEnter into HEAT-RUN MODE
1) Press the POWER ON KEY on R/C for adjustment.
2) OSD display and screen display 100% full WHITE
PATTERN.
[Set is activated HEAT-RUN without signal generator in
this mode.
[Single color pattern(RED/BLUE/GREEN) of HEAT-RUN
