SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and
bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or
touching high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and
mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that
you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the
customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of
deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their
replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make sure
your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if
sets always have low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws,
and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as
described below.
Leakage Test
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from
all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to
chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current
can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. The Data Precision 245 digital
multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V,
so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. The
Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of passive
VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital multimeters
that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
How to Find a Good Earth Ground
A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate retaining
screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground. If the retaining
screw is to be used as your earth ground, verify that it is at ground by
measuring the resistance between it and a cold-water pipe with an
ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms.
If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60- to 100-watt trouble-
light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the
retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side on the
line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw is at ground
potential (see Figure B).

Stopping the Standby/Timer LED Flash
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER LAMP from flashing.
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER LED will automatically begin to flash. The number
of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER LED flash indicators is listed in the
instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the Remote Commander can be used to review
the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
Diagnostic Test Indicators
When an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than
one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas.
Results for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. If the screen displays a “0”, an error has occurred.

+B overcurrent (OCP)
Occurs when excessive current flows through R5013. The increase in voltage across R5013 causes the output of Q5004 to go high, and this high
signal goes to the micro.
+B overvoltage (OVP)
IC6505 detects +B OVP condition and turns on Q6522. This sends a high signal to the micro and also shuts down the AC relay.
V-STOP
Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by pin 24 of IC2801 (BY Board). Power supply will shut down when waveform
interval exceeds 2 seconds.
White Balance Failure
If the RGB levels* do not balance within 2 seconds after the power is turned on, this error will be detected by IC2801. TV will stay on, but there will be
no picture.
*(Refers to the RGB levels of the AKB detection Ref pulse that detects 1K).
Low B OCP/OVP
Occurs when set 5V is out.
Horizontal Deflection Stopped
Occurs when either:
1) a +B overcurrent is detected (IC5007), or
2) overheating is detected (Thermistor TH5002).

1-4.PICTURE TUBE REMOVAL
WARNING: BEFORE REMOVING THE ANODE CAP
High voltage remains in the CRT even after the power is disconnected. To avoid electric shock,
discharge CRT before attempting to remove the anode cap. Short between anode and CRT
coated earth ground strap.
ANODE CAP REMOVAL PROCEDURE
WARNING: High voltage remains in the CRT even after the power is disconnected. To avoid electric shock, discharge CRT before attempting to
remove the anode cap. After removing the anode cap, short circuit to either the metal chassis, CRT shield, or carbon painted on the CRT.
NOTE: After removing the anode cap, short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to either the metal chassis, CRT shield or carbon
painted on the CRT.
REMOVAL PROCEDURES

Turn up one side of the rubber cap in
the direction indicated by arrow a .
Use your thumb to pull the rubber
cap firmly in the direction indicated
by arrow b .
When one side of the rubber cap separates from
the anode button, the anode cap can be removed
by turning the rubber cap and pulling it in the
direction of arrow c .
HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE CAP
1. Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the surface of the anode
cap.
2. To avoid damaging the anode cap, do not squeeze the rubber covering too
hard. A material fitting called a shatter-hook terminal is built into the rubber.
3. Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause the shatter-hook
terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.
1. Remove the Sub-Woofer Assemblies.
2. Discharge the anode of the CRT and remove the
anode cap.
3. Unplug all interconnecting leads from the deflection
yoke, neck assembly, degaussing coils and CRT
grounding strap.
4. Remove the CX Board from the CRT.
5. Remove the chassis assembly.
6. Loosen the neck assembly fixing screw and remove.

POLE DATA
Normally, no adjustments are necessary for these systems. If for some
reason the data is lost, use the data from Table 1 below:
1. Write the data from any non-vertically compressed mode, then use
the CPY1 function (CXA2170D-4 Item 6) to copy the data to the
vertical compressed modes.
Note: V-compressed data is identical to non-v-compressed data.
Service personnel with a trained eye can adjust the DF or DQP
registers to adjust DF phase (Item 7) or DQP phase (Item 8),
respectively, to balance left and right focus. Refrain from adjusting
more than 5 steps from table data below. Further adjustment
indicates a circuit problem -- troubleshoot to cause.
CAUTION: Be sure that Neck Assembly is in the proper location.
Mark position before moving or replacing neck assembly.
(See Section 2-4 Figure 1 - before changing DF/DQP data or
troubleshooting circuit when DF/DQP is suspect.)
Procedure to adjust or check:
1. Short Q8018 B-Gnd to disable DF.
B Mark is on the circuit board. Circuit connection changes should
always be done with the power off.
CAUTION: Q8018 heatsink is live and peak voltage is 250V.
2. Input a cross hatch signal.
3. Change CXA2170-P2 item 2 RGBS to 2 to make green only.
1. Overfocus to adjust DQP phase. Adjust the data
(CXA2170-D4 item 8) to balance left and right vertical line width.
2. Once DQP is balanced, remove the short from DF circuit and
refocus the set.
3. Adjust DF (CXA2170-D4 item 7) to balance left and right vertical
line width.
4. Reconfirm focus performance.
