1. Safetyprecautions
General guidelines
Anisolation transformershouldalways beusedduring theservicing ofareceiverwhose chassis
isnotisolatedfrom ACpowerline. Use atransformerofadequatepowerrating as thisprotects
thetechnicianfrom accidentsresulting inpersonal injuryfrom electrical shocks. Itwill also
protectthereceiverfrom being damagedbyaccidental shorting thatmay occur during servicing.
Whenservicing, observe theoriginal leaddress, especiallyinthehigh voltagecircuit. Replace all
damagedparts(alsopartsthatshowsignsofoverheating.)
Always replace protective devices, suchas fishpaper, isolation resistorsand capacitors, and
shieldsafterservicing thereceiver. Use onlymanufacturer’srecommendedrating for fuses,
circuitsbreakers, etc.
High potentialsarepresentwhenthisreceiverisoperating. Operation ofthereceiverwithoutthe
rearcoverintroduces dangerfor electrical shock. Servicing shouldnotbeperformedbyanyone
who isnotthoroughlyfamiliarwiththenecessaryprecautionswhenservicing high voltage
equipment.
Extremecareshouldbepracticedwhenhandling thepicturetube. Rough handling may cause it
toimplodeduetoatmosphericpressure. (14.7lbspersq. in.). Donotnick or scratchtheglass or
subjectittoanyunduepressure. Whenhandling, usesafetygoggles and heavy gloves for
protection. Dischargethepicturetubebyshorting theanodetochassisground (nottothe
cabinetor toothermounting hardware). Whendischarging connectcoldground (i.e. dagground
lead)totheanodewithawellinsulatedwireor use agrounding probe.Avoidprolongedexposure
atclose rangetounshieldedareas ofthepicturetubetopreventexposuretoxray radiation.
Thetestpicturetubeusedfor servicing thechassisatthebenchshouldincorporatesafetyglass
and magneticshielding. Thesafetyglass provideshielding for thetubeviewing area againstx
ray radiation as well as implosion. Themagneticshieldlimitsthexray radiation around thebell of
thepicturetubeinaddition totherestricting magneticeffects. Whenusing apicturetubetestjig
for service, ensurethatthejigiscapableofhandling 50kV withoutcausing x-ray radiation.
Beforereturning aservicedreceivertotheowner, theservice technicianmustthoroughlytest
theunittoensurethatiscompletelysafetooperate. Donotuse alineisolation transformerwhen
testing.

Repeattheprocedureand measurethevoltagepresentwithall otherexposedmetallicparts.
Verifythatanypotential does notexceed0.75 voltRMS. Aleakagecurrenttester(sucha

whichcase anycurrentmeasuremustnotexceed0.5milliamp. Ifanymeasurementisoutofthe

NOTE
These componentsareaffixedwithglue. Becareful nottobreak or damageanyfoil underthe
componentor atthepinsoftheICswhenremoving. Usuallyapplying heattothecomponentfor a
shorttimewhiletwisting withtweezerswill break thecomponentloose.
Leadless chipcomponent(surface mount)
Chipcomponentsmustbereplacedwithidentical chipsduetocritical foil track spacing. There
areno holes intheboard tomountstandard transistorsor diodes. Somechipscapacitor or
resistor board solderpadsmay have holes through theboard,howevertheholediameterlimits

3. EEPROMreplacement
IfanewEEPROMintegratedcircuitisreplacedfor servicing, followthenextprocedureonce that
thememoryisproperlyassembled:
1. Entertoservice mode.
2. TurntheTVset ON.
3. Once insideservice modethefirst imagethat appearson-screen
istheID1registerwiththerespectiveaddress value(FF)like the
imagebelow.
Note:
All 3registers(ID1,ID2,ID3) shouldappearwithFF values ifanew
EEPROMisassembled.
4. With“VOL”keysadjust thecorrect valueaccording withthe
service adjustmenttable(see “Service Mode”section).
5. Changetothenext IDswitchregisterwith“CH”keysand repeat
8

thesameprocedureas step4.
6. Whenreplacing anew EEPROMbesuretoset thecorrect ID
switchvalues foreachmodel.
7. Once that all 3registersareset withthecorrect address value,
perform all oftheremaining adjustments and servicing.
IMPORTANT:
Correct IDswitchconfiguration shouldbeinputwhenreplacing
EEPROMforeachtelevision model, otherwise ifwrong values are
configured, thetelevision softwarewill notfunction accordinglyand
properly.
4. About lead free solder(PbF)
NOTE
Leadislistedas (Pb)intheperiodictableofelements. / Intheinformation below, Pbwill referto
leadsolder, and PbF will refertoLeadFree Solder. / Theleadfree solderusedinour
manufacturing process and discussedbelowis(Sn+Ag+Cu). / ThatisTin(Sn), Silver(Ag)and
Copper(Cu)although othertypes areavailable.
Thismodel uses PbFree solderinit’smanufactureduetoenvironmental conservation issues. For
/ service and repairwork, we’dsuggesttheuse ofPbfree solderas well, although Pbsoldermay
be/ used. / PCBsmanufacturedusing leadfree solderwill have the“PbF”or aleafsymbol
stampedon the/ back ofPCB.
CAUTION
-Pbfree solderhas ahighermelting pointthanstandardsolder.
Typicallythemelting pointis50 ~70 °F(30 ~40 °C)higher. Please
use ahigh temperaturesoldering iron and set itto700 ±20 °F(370
±10 °C).
-Pbfree solderwill tend tosplashwhenheatedtoo high (about1100
°For600 °C). / Ifyou must use Pbsolder, please completely
removeall ofthePbfree solderon thepinsorsolderarea before
applying Pbsolder. Ifthisisnotpractical, besuretoheat thePb
free solderuntil itmelts, beforeapplying Pbsolder.
-Afterapplying PbF soldertodoublelayeredboards, please check
thecomponentsideforexcess solderwhichmayflow ontothe
9

opposite side.
SuggestedPbfree solder
Thereareseveral kindsofPbfree solderavailablefor purchase. Thisproductuses Sn+Ag+Cu
(tin, silver, copper)solder. However, Sn+Cu(tin, copper), Sn+Zn+Bi (tin, zinc, bismuth)soldercan
alsobeused.
