CAUTION : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS
PRODUCT IN ANY WAY, NEVER PERFORM CUSTOM-
IZED INSTALLATIONS WITHOUT MANUFACTURER’S
APPROVAL. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS WILL
NOT ONLY VOID THE WARRANTY, BUT MAY LEAD TO
YOUR BEING LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING PROP-
ERTY DAMAGE OR USER INJURY.
SERVICE WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY
AFTER YOU ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL
OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECKS AND SERVIC-
ING GUIDELINES. TO DO OTHERWISE,INCREASES
THE RISK OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND INJURY TO
THE USER.
WHILE SERVICING, USE AN ISOLATION TRANS-
FORMER FOR PROTECTION FROM A.C. LINESHOCK.
SAFETY CHECKS
AFTER THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PROBLEM HAS
BEEN CORRCTED. A CHECK SHOULD BE MADE OF
THE FOLLOWING.
SUBJECT : FIRE & SHOCK HAZARD
1.BE SURE THAT ALL COMPONENTS ARE POSI-
TIONED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO AVOID POSSIBILITY
OF ADJACENT COMPONENT SHORTS.THIS IS ESPE-
CIALLY IMPORTANT ON THOSE MODULES WHICH
ARE TRANSPORTED TO AND FROM THE REPAIR
SHOP.
2. NEVER RELEASE A REPAIR UNLESS ALL PROTEC-
TIVE DEVICES SUCH AS INSULATORS, BARRIERS,
COVERS, SHIELDS, STRAIN RELIEFS, POWER
SUPPLY CORDS, AND OTHER HARDWARE HAVE-
BEEN REINSTALLED PER ORIGINAL DESIGN. BE
SURE THAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLAR-
IZED LINE PLUG HAS NOT BEEN DEFEATED.
3. SOLDERING MUST BE INSPECTED TO DISCOVER
POSSIBLE COLD SOLDER JOINTS, SOLDER
SPLASHES OR SHARP SOLDER POINTS. BE CER-
TAIN TO REMOVE ALL LOOSE FOREIGN PARTICLES.
4. CHECK FOR PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE
OR DETERIORATION TO PARTS AND COMPONENTS.
FOR FRAYED LEADS, DAMAGED INSULATION
(INCLUDING A.C. CORD). AND REPLACE IF NECES-
5. NO LEAD OR COMPONENT SHOULD TOUCH A
RECIVING TUBE OR A RESISTOR RATED AT 1 WATT
OR MORE. LEAD TENSION AROUND PROTRUNING
METAL SURFACES MUST BE AVOIDED.
6. ALL CRITICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS FUSES,
FLAMEPROOF RESISTORS, CAPACITORS, ETC.
MUST BE REPLACED WITH EXACT FACTORY TYPES,
DO NOT USE REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS OTHER
THAN THOSE SPECIFIED OR MAKE UNRECOM-
MENDED CIRCUIT MODIFICATIONS.
7. AFTER RE-ASSEMBLY OF THE SET ALWAYS PER-
FORM AN A.C. LEAKAGE TEST ON ALL EXPOSED
METALLIC PARTS OF THE CABINET, (THE CHANNEL
SELECTOR KNOB, ANTENNA TERMINALS. HANDLE
AND SCREWS) TO BE SURE THE SET IS SAFE TO
OPERATE WITHOUT DANGER OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATION TRANS-
FORMER DURING THIS TEST USE AN A.C. VOLTME-
TER, HAVING 5000 OHMS PER VOLT OR MORE SEN-
SITIVITY, IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER; CONNECT A
1500 OHM 10 WATT RESISTOR, PARALLELED BY A
.15 MFD. 150.V A.C TYPE CAPACITOR BETWEEN A
KNOWN GOOD EARTH GROUND (WATER PIPE,
CONDUIT,ETC.) AND THE EXPOSED METALLIC
PARTS, ONE AT A TIME. MEASURE THE A.C. VOLT-
AGE ACROSS THE COMBINATION OF 1500OHM
RESISTOR AND .15 MFD CAPACITOR. REVERSE THE
A.C. PLUG AND REPEAT A.C. VOLTAGE MEASURE-
MENTS FOR EACH EXPOSED METALLIC PART. VOLT-
AGE MEASURED MUST NOT EXCEED 75 VOLTS
R.M.S. THIS CORRESPONDS TO 0.5 MILLIAMP A.C
ANY VALUE EXCEEDING THIS LIMIT CONSTITUTES A
POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE COR-
RECTED IMMEDIATELY.
THE LIGHTNING FLASH WITH APROWHEAD SYMBOL. WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE, IS INTENDED
TO ALERT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL TO THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED “DANGEROUS VOLTAGE”
THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE SERVICE
PERSONNEL TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION IN SERVICE LITERATURE.

SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:Before servicing the Surround sound preamplifier
covered by this service data and its supplements and addends,
read and follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. NOTE: if
unforeseen circumstances create conflict between the following
servicing precautions and any of the safety precautions in this
publication, always follow the safety precautions. Remember
Safety First:
General Servicing Precautions
1. Always unplug the Surround sound preamplifier AC
power cord from the AC power source before:
(1) Removing or reinstalling any component, circuit board,
module, or any other assembly.
(2) Disconnecting or reconnecting any internal electrical plug
or other electrical connection.
(3) Connecting a test substitute in parallel with an electrolytic
capacitor.
Caution: A wrong part substitute or incorrect polarity
installation of electrolytic capacitors may result in an
explosion hazard.
2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this Surround sound
preamplifier or any of its assemblies.
3. Unless specified otherwise in this service data, clean
electrical contacts by applying an appropriate contact
cleaning solution to the contacts with a pipe cleaner, cotton
tipped swab, or comparable soft applicator. Unless
specified otherwise in this service data, lubrication of
contacts is not required.
4. Do not defeat any plug/socket B+ voltage interlocks with
which instruments covered by this service manual might be
equipped.
5. Do not apply AC power to this Surround sound preamplifier
and/or any of its electrical assemblies unless all solid-state
device heat sinks are correctly installed.
6. Always connect test instrument ground lead to the
appropriate ground before connecting the test instrument
positive lead. Always remove the test instrument ground
lead last.
Insulation Checking Procedure
Disconnect the attachment plug from the AC outlet and turn the
power on. Connect an insulation resistance meter (500V) to the
blades of the attachment plug. The insulation resistances
between each blade of the attachment plug and accessible
conductive parts (Note 1) should be more than 1 M-ohm.
Note 1: Accessible Conductive Parts including Metal panels,
Input terminals, Earphone jacks, etc.
Electro statically Sensitive (ES) Devices
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged
easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are
called Electro statically 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 electricity.
1. Immediately before handing 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 for potential shock reason 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 antistatic solder removal device. Some solder
removal devices not classified a “anti-static” can generate
electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
5. Do not use Freon propelled chemicals. These can generate
electrical charge 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 handing unpackaged
replacement ES devices. (Normally 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.)

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
OSD VCO Oscillation Frequency (VIDEO BOARD)
Connect M15 CVBS monitor out to a TV set. Press “Enter” key on remote control to call OSD out.
Then clockwise adjust C1162 and observe the OSD till the characters are just disappear, record
the adjustment slot position A; then anticlockwise C1162 to make the OSD characters disappear
and record the adjustment slot position B again. Adjust the adjustment slot position in the middle
of A and B. Get in “DISPLAY SETUP” OSD Menu and switch the unit in both “NTSC” and PAL”
mode, observe the OSD characters, they should be all stable displaying without any flicker.
