IMPORTANT SERVICING NOTES
Only qualified service personnel are allowed to carry out maintenance and repair of this receiver.
Servicing of High Voltage System and CRT
It is important that the static charge is removed from the high voltage system when carrying out work on the
receiver. This can be achieved by connecting a 10K resistor (with a suitably insulated lead) from the CRT
cavity connector to the CRT ground tag. This must be carried out with the AC supply disconnected from the
receiver.
Note the following:
•The CRT in this receiver employs Integral Implosion Protection.
•If the CRT has to be changed it MUST be replaced with the correct type for continued safe working.
•DO NOT lift the CRT by its neck.
•When handing the CRT, ensure that shatterproof goggles are worn.
•Ensure that the CRT is discharge before handling.
X-Ray
This receiver is designed to keep any x-ray emission to an absolute minimum. Some fault conditions and
servicing procedures may produce potentially hazardous x-ray radiation levels. This is a problem when in
close proximity to the receiver for long periods of time. To reduce any risks associated with this, please
observe the following precautions:
1. When undertaking any servicing on this chassis, DO NOT increase the EHT to more than 30KV, (at a
instantaneous beam current of 300µA).
2. Ensure that during normal operation the EHT does not exceed 27.5KV (at a beam current of 800µA). This
levelhasbeenpresetinthe factory.Alwayscheckthatthislevel has not been exceeded after carrying out
any repair on the receiver.
3. DO NOT replace the CRT with any other type than that specified in the parts listing as this may cause
excessive x-ray radiation.
Before returning the receiver to the customer
In addition to the above checks, the following should also be carried out before returning the receiver to the
customer.
1. Inspect all the leads to ensure that they are dressed correctly and that they are not obstructed or pinched
by any other parts.
2. Ensure that all protective devices are in good condition. These will include nonmetallic control knobs,
insulating fish papers, cabinets backs, compartment covers or shields, mechanical insulators, etc.

Procedure to Program Functions of Hotel Mode
Below listed can be found the procedure to carry out in the above TV Sets functions called HOTEL MODE as follows:
Consider that HOTEL MODE is implemented by means of HOTEL MODE 1. The HOTEL MODE 2 or HOTEL MODE 3
can be used at the same time than HOTEL MODE 1.
HOTEL 1 Blockade of tuning functions Restriction of sound
HOTEL 2 Blockade of tuning functions Start on SCART mode + SW when
SCART IS ACTIVE (Front Panel inactive)
HOTEL 3 Blockade of tuning functions VCR constant changed
Hotel 1 Mode: blockade of the TUNING function by modifying the value in 0A address of the NVM.
-This change besides blocking the tuning function, makes the TV always starts to operate in program 1.
Procedure:
A) Press the volume up or volume down buttons (RC) as far as the NVM address (green colour) displays “0A”location.
Check the NVM value (red colour) displays the NORMAL VALUE .
B)Pay Attention: Press the button 2 (RC) only once. The NORMAL VALUE has been changed to the HOTEL 1 MODE
VALUE now. If the button 2 (RC) is pressed again the NORMAL VALUE is recovered. For the same reason, if a wrong
button has been pressed, NORMAL VALUE can be recovered by pressing the same button again. See NVM table on
page 6.
Restriction of Sound Volume: by modifying the R314 value.
Change R314 value from 1K (VRS-TVIJD102J part code) to 39K (VRS-TV1JD393J part code), so the maximum level of
sound can be limited from 100% to 50%.
1.8. Exit Service Mode and check colour coordinates «X»and «Y»at 20 and 120 nits. It may be necessary to repeat the
same procedure or readjust the cuts as show the be below one.
2. «CUT R», «CUT G»
2.1. Adjust G2, in the case that it has not been made previously.
2.2. Tune a grey scale pattern.
2.3. Adjust colour to minimum.
2.4. Position colorimeter in the right point of Fig.4.
2.5. Using brightness and contrast buttons, select a luminance of »20 nits.
2.6. Operate again in Service Mode and select location CUT-G and CUT-R to obtain colour coordinates:
X = 0.290 ± 0.015
Y = 0.300 ± 0.015
2.7. Exit Service Mode and check colour coordinates «X»and «Y»at 20 and 120 nits. It may be necessary to repeat
the same procedure or the previous one.
Cancel password (PIN)
The following process describes how to cancel actual password (PIN) when the customer forgets the code.
1. Press channel up or down to select the channel, wich you locked with input PIN number.
2. The TV picture will be blue and the key appear on screen.
3. Press and hold volume down on the TV and simultaneously press CHILD LOCK button (see Page.43) on the remote
control several times until the key disappears.
