1. F or continued s a fe ty, no modific a tion of any c ircuit s hould be
a tte mpted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.
BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER (Fire &
Shock Hazard)
B efore returning the receiver to the us er, perform the following
safety checks:
3. Ins pect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched,
and check that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and
other metal parts in the receiver.
4. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic control knobs,
ins ula tion ma te ria ls , ca binet ba c ks , a djus tme nt a nd c ompa rtment
covers or s hields, is olation resis tor-capacitor networks, mechanical
ins ulators , etc.
5. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for leakage current in
the following manner.
• P lug the AC cord directly into a 110-240 volt AC outlet.
• Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt resistor paral-
leled by a 0. 15 F capacitor in s eries with all expos ed metal cabinet
parts and a known earth ground, such as electrical conduit or elec-
trical ground connected to an earth ground.
• Use an AC voltmeter having with 5000 ohm per volt, or higher, sen-
sitivity or measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor.
• C onnect the resis tor connection to all expos ed metal parts having a
return to the c ha s s is (a ntenna , meta l ca binet, s cre w hea ds , knobs
and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage
drop a cros s the re s is tor.
All checks must be repeated with the AC cord plug connection
revers ed. (If neces s ary, a nonpolarized adaptor plug mus t be us ed
only for the purpose of completing these checks.)
Any reading of 0.74 Vrms (this corresponds to 0.5 mA rms AC.) or
more is excessive and indicates a potential shock hazard which
mus t be c orre cted before returning the monitor to the owner.

SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD colour television have
special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection, nor
can protection afforded by them be necessarily increased by using
replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
R eplacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are
identified in this manual; electrical components having s uch features
are identified by " " and shaded areas in the R eplacement P arts List
and S chematic Diagrams.
For continued protection, replacement parts must be identical to those
us ed in the original circuit.
The us e of a substitute replacement parts which do not have the same
s a fe ty c ha ra c teris tic s a s the fa ctory re comme nde d re pla c eme nt pa rts
shown in this service manual, may create shock, fire or other hazards.
