IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTES
Maintenance and repair of this receiver should be done by quali- fied service personnel only.
SERVICING OF HIGHVOLTAGE SYSTEM AND PICTURE TUBE When servicing the high voltage system, remove static charge from it by con- necting a 10k ohm Resistor in series with an insulated wire (such as a test probe) between picture tube dag and 2nd anode lead.(AC line cord should be disconnected from AC outlet.)
1. Picture tube in this receiver employs integral implosion protection. 2. Replace with tube of the same type number for continued safety. 3. Do not lift picture tube by the neck. 4. Handle the picture tube only when wearing shatterproof goggles and after
discharging the high voltage completely.
X-RAY This receiver is designed so that any X-Ray radiation is kept to an absolute minimum. Since certain malfunctions or servicing many produce potentially hazardous radiation with prolonged exposure at close range, the following pre- cautions should be observed: 1. When repairing the circuit, be sure not to increase the high voltage to more
than 34.0 kV (at beam 0µA) for the set.
2. To keep the set in a normal operation, be sure to make it function on 30.5 ±
1.5kV (at beam 1.6mA) in the case of the set. The set has been factory- Adjusted to the above mentioned high voltage.
∴If there is a possibility that the high voltage fluctuates as a result of the
repairs, never forget to check for such high voltage after the work.
3. Donotsubstitute apicturetubewith unauthorizedtypesand/or brandswhich
may cause excess X-Ray radiation.
BEFORE RETURNINGTHE RECEIVER Before returning the receiver to the user, perform the following safety checks.
1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that the leads are not pinched or that
hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other metal parts in the receiver.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic control knobs, insulat-
ing fishpapers, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor- capacity networks, mechanical insulators etc.
ADJUSTMENT PRECAUTIONS
This model’s setting are adjusted in two different ways: though the I2C bus
control and in the conventional analog manner. The adjustments via the I2C bus
control include preset-only items and variable data.
1. Calling the service mode by the microprocessor.
(1) Set the switch S1006 to the service mode position, and the microprocessor is
put service mode. (Adjustment through the I2C bus control)
(2) Press the CH DOWN key on the remote controller to get ready to select the
modes one by one.
(3) Press the CH UP key on the remote controller to get ready to select the modes
in the order opposite to the above step(2). (See SERVICE MODE)
(4) Using the VOLUME ∧/ VOLUME ∨ keys on the remote controller, the data can
be modified.
(5) Set the switch S1006 to the normal mode (OFF) position, and the microproc-
essor is put out of the service mode.
2. Factory Presettings.
(1) Set the switch S1006 to the service mode position and turn on the main power
switch. Initial values are automatically preset only when a new E2PROM is used (judgement with the first 4 bytes).
(2) The initial data are preset as listed in SERVICE MODE. (3) Some settings should be modfied, and the others should remain as preset. For
details, see SERVICE MODE.
Note: Once the chassis has been put together, be sure to set the switch S1006 to
the service mode position first and then turn on the main power switch (See 2- (1) above). Turning on the power without initializing the E2PROM may caouse
a flow of excess beams.

2. In the AV1 mode, connect the connector to the S-VIDEO input terminal. Make sure the AV
modechanges tothe S-VIDEOmode,thatthe unitfunctions well, and that"AV1-S" appearson the screen.
3. AV3 AUTOMATIC ID CHECKING
1. Using the remote controller, receive a TV broadcast signal. 2. Feed the signal to the AV3 VIDEO input terminal. Make sure the AV3 mode shows up auto-
matically.
*Setting:AUTO SELECT to be turn on.
PROTECTOR PERFORMANCE CHECK
1. BEAM PROTECTOR
1. Receive the E-5CH "MONOSCOPE PATTERN" signal. 2. Set the contrast control to maximmum. 3. Set the brightness control to maximum. 4. Make a short-circuit between the collector and emitter of Q853 and make sure that the protec-
tor is activated and the stand-by mode is called.
2. HIGH-VOLTAGE PROTECTOR
1. Receive the E-5CH "MONOSCOPE PATTERN" signal. 2. Connect the bias box to the cathode (R1625 side) of D1607. 3. Adjust the bias box voltage to 16V and make sure that the protector is not activated.
•Reference: usually about 19V
4. Boost the bias box voltage to 24V and make sure that the protector is activated.
3. OTHER PROTECTORS
1. In checking the performance of other protectors – for example, the one against shorting of
smoothing electolytic capacitor of + B line –, pay attention not to damage or deteriorate ele- ment.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check the voltage at pin (6) of IC501 and pin (3) of IC502.
NO VERTICAL SCAN
Circuits to be checked: • IC501, 502 and its
adjacent circuit
Check IC501, IC502 and related circuits
Normal Abnormal
Normal
Check IC801 and its peripheral parts.
Check vertical trigger purse at pin (64) of IC801. Check L1501, D1605, D1506
and R1650.
Abnormal
Note1: Make sure that the switch S1006 is at the position for
the service mode, not for the horizontal centering mode. (At the center or farthest position, the switch is for the normal mode.) The "9" key on the remote controller is used to turn on and off these modes.
Note2: The vertical sync signal must be fed to pin (62) of
IC1001 in oder not to activate the vertical no-scan protector. Take this measure with the protector circuit for the troubleshooting on the following pages.
