Safety Precautions
General Guide Lines
1. It is advisable to insert an isolation transformer in the AC
supply before servicing a hot chassis.
2. When servicing, observe the original lead dress, espe-
cially the lead dress in the high voltage circuits.
If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have
been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.
3. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices
such as insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields,
and isolation R-C combinations, are properly installed.
4. When the receiver is not be used for a long period of
time, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
5. Potential, as high as 33.0 kV, is present when this
receiver is in operation. Operation of the receiver without
the rear cover involves the danger of a shock hazard
from the receiver power supply. Servicing should not be
attempted by anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with
the precautions necessary when working on high volt-
age equipment. Always discharge the anode of the pic-
ture tube to the receiver chassis before handling the
tube.
6. After servicing make the following leakage current
checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to
shock hazards.
Leakage Current Cold Check
1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the
two prongs on the plug.
2. Turn on the receiver’s power switch.
3. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter,
between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed
metallic cabinet part on the receiver, such as screw
heads, aerials, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the
exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis,
the reading should be between 4 MWand 20 MW.
When the exposed metal does not have a return path to
the chassis, the reading must be •.
Leakage Current Hot Check
1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use
an isolation transformer for this check.
2. Connect a 2kW, 10W resistor, in series with an exposed
metallic part on the receiver and an earth such as a
water pipe.
3. Use an AC voltmeter, with high impedance type, to mea-
sure the potential across the resistor.
4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the
voltage at each point.
5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of
the above measurements.
6. The potential at any point should not exceed 1.0 Vrms.
In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified,
there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the receiver
should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to
the customer.

X-Radiation
Warning:
1. The potential sources of X-Radiation in TV sets are the
High Voltage section and the picture tube.
2. When using a picture tube test jig for service, ensure
that jig is capable of handling 33.0kV without causing X-
Radiation.
Note: It is important to use an accurate periodically cali-
brated high voltage meter.
1. Set the brightness to minimum.
2. Measure the High Voltage. The meter reading should
indicate 31.5 (+1.5, -1.5) kV. If the meter indication is
out of tolerance, immediate service and correction is
required to prevent the possibility of premature compo-
nent failure.
3. To prevent an X-Radiation possibility, it is essential to
use the specified picture tube.

In regard to the self-check function
When phenomena like “the power fails from time to time” or “the video/audio fails from time to time” can not be confirmed at th
e
time of servicing, the self-check function can be used to confirm the occurrence and to limit the scope for the defective circuits.
Also, when “the power fails from time to time”, display of the color bar on the screen can be used confirm the occurrence and t
o
limit the scope for the defective circuits.

2. Receive a red pattern (red single color signal).
3. Slide the deflection yoke to the rear (towards board [L] and
fix it provisionally when the red vertical bar appears.
4. Adjust the purity magnets so that the red vertical bar
comes to the center of the screen. (Fig. 4)
5. Loosen the provisionally fixed deflection yoke, move it to
the rear, so that the entire screen becomes red, and fix it
provisionally in that position.
Confirm the single-color condition of the entire screen for
blue and green.
In case of uneven coloring, repeat the adjustments 3.
and 4. for the color with the uneven coloring.
6. Receive a rainbow color bar, and use the TV reception
channel fine adjustment for a black-and-white image.
(Or use color pattern generator chroma signal cut.)
7. Confirm that there is no partial coloring for the entire
screen.
If there is partial coloring, remove the color unevenness by
moving the deflection yoke slightly in forward-backward
direction.
If the color unevenness can not be removed, repeat the
adjustments 1. to 4.
8. Tighten the screws fixing the deflection yoke and return
the TV fine adjustment to the original setting.

• Caution items
Tilt adjustment with tilting the deflection yoke in up-down or left-right direction is not performed for this unit.
Please do nottry to do this. Perform YV adjustment for left-right tilt adjustment and YHC adjustment for up-down
adjustment.
As the XV adjustment core can crack easily, use a nonmetallic screwdriver for the adjustment.
4. Adjust YHC,YV, and XV on the deflection yoke (Fig. 7) so that the
overall convergence becomes good. (Fig. 8, 9, 10)
When the convergence at the screen center is off, repeat the
adjustment from item 2.
3. Gradually open the knobs of the 6-pole convergence magnets and
match the red and blue vertical lines at the center of the screen.
(At this time, red and blue will move practically at the same time.)
Next, rotate the entire 6-pole magnets to match the red and blue
horizontal lines to green.(Fig. 6)
5. After the adjustment, apply paint lock to the magnets.
6. When the position without deviation of the three colors has been determined, insert wedges between the deflection
yoke and the picture tube as shown (Fig. 11 below) to fix the deflection yoke.

4:3 mode adjustment
H-V adjustment
•For this adjustment, receive a crosshatch pattern, check whether adjustment is required or not, and then adjust.
This unit is equipped with a “16:9 mode” which identifies the input from S-video input and switches automatically to 16:9 screen
size for the full mode (squeeze signal) from a video camera or DVD. (Surface broadcasts remain “4:3”.)
16:9 mode also requires adjustment. Please perform adjustment on the following basis.
The adjustment procedure is the same as for 4:3 mode.
