1. Precautions
1. Be sure that all of the built-in protective devices are
replaced. Restore any missing protective shields.
2. When reinstalling the chassis and its assemblies, be
sure to restore all pretective devices, including :
control knobs and compartment covers.
3. Make sure that there are no cabinet openings
through which people--particularly children
--might insert fingers and contact dangerous
voltages. Such openings include the spacing
between the picture tube and the cabinet mask,
excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and
improperly fitted back covers.
If the measured resistance is less than 1.0 megohm
or greater than 5.2 megohms, an abnormality exists
that must be corrected before the unit is returned
to the customer.
4. Leakage Current Hot Check (See Fig. 1-1) :
Warning : Do not use an isolation transformer
during this test. Use a leakage current tester or a
metering system that complies with American
National Standards Institute (ANSI C101.1,
Leakage Current for Appliances), and Underwriters
Laboratories (UL Publication UL1410, 59.7).
5. With the unit completely reassembled, plug the AC
line cord directly the power outlet. With the unit’s
AC switch first in the ON position and then OFF,
measure the current between a known erath
ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) and all
exposed metal parts, including : antennas, handle
brackets, metal cabinets, screwheads and control
shafts. The current measured should not exceed
0.5 milliamp. Reverse the power-plug prongs in the
AC outlet and repeat the test.
6. X-ray Limits :
The picture tube is designed to prohibit X-ray
emissions. To ensure continued X-ray protection,
replace the picture tube only with one that is the
same type as the original.
Fig. 1-1 AC Leakage Test
7. Antenna Cold Check :
With the unit’s AC plug disconnected from the
AC source, connect an electrical jumper across the
two AC prongs. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter
to an AC prong.
Connect the other lead to the coaxial connector.
8. High Voltage Limit :
High voltage must be measured each time
servicing is done on the B+, horizontal deflection
or high voltage circuits.
Heed the high voltage limits. These include the
X-ray protection Specifications Label, and the
Product Safety and X-ray Warning Note on the
service data schematic.
9. Some semiconductor (“solid state”) devices are
easily damaged by static electricity.
Such components are called Electrostatically
Sensitive Devices (ESDs); examples include
integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors.
The following techniques will reduce the
occurrence of component damage caused by static
electricity.
10. Immediately before handling any semiconductor
components or assemblies, drain the electrostatic
charge from your body by touching a known
earth ground. Alternatively, wear a discharging
Wrist-strap device. (Be sure to remove it prior to
applying power--this is an electric shock
precaution.)

11. High voltage is maintained within specified limits
by close-tolerance, safety-related components and
adjustments. If the high voltage exceeds the
specified limits, check each of the special
components.
12. Design Alteration Warning :
Never alter or add to the mechanical or electrical
design of this unit. Example : Do not add
auxiliary audio or video connectors.
Such alterations might create a safety hazard.
Also, any design changes or additions will void
the manufacturer’s warranty.
13. Hot Chassis Warning :
Some TV receiver chassis are electrically
connected directly to one conductor of the AC
power cord. If an isolation transformer is not
used, these units may be safely serviced only if
the AC power plug is inserted so that the chassis
is connected to the ground side of the AC source.
To confirm that the AC power plug is inserted
correctly, do the following : Using an AC
voltmeter, measure the voltage between the
chassis and a known earth ground. If the reading
is greater than 1.0V, remove the AC power plug,
reverse its polarity and reinsert. Re-measure the
voltage between the chassis and ground.
14. Some TV chassis are designed to operate with 85
volts AC between chassis and ground, regardless
of the AC plug polarity. These units can be safely
serviced only if an isolation transformer inserted
between the receiver and the power source.
15. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage interlocks.
Do not apply AC power to the unit (or any of its
assemblies) unless all solid-state heat sinks are
correctly installed.
16. Always connect a test instrument’s ground lead to
the instrument chassis ground before connecting
the positive lead; always remove the instrument’s
ground lead last.
17. Observe the original lead dress, especially near
the following areas : Antenna wiring, sharp
edges, and especially the AC and high voltage
power supplies. Always inspect for pinched, out-
of-place, or frayed wiring. Do not change the
spacing between components and the printed
circuit board. Check the AC power cord for
damage. Make sure that leads and components
do not touch thermally hot parts.
18. Picture Tube Implosion Warning :
The picture tube in this receiver employs
“integral implosion” protection. To ensure
continued implosion protection, make sure that
the replacement picture tube is the same as the
original.
19. Do not remove, install or handle the picture tube
without first putting on shatterproof goggles
equipped with side shields. Never handle the
picture tube by its neck. Some “in-line” picture
tubes are equipped with a permanently attached
deflection yoke; do not try to remove such
“permanently attached” yokes from the picture
tube.
20. Product Safety Notice :
Some electrical and mechanical parts have special
safety-related characteristics which might not be
obvious from visual inspection. These safety
features and the protection they give might be
lost if the replacement component differs from the
original--even if the replacement is rated for
higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Components that are critical for safety are
indicated in the circuit diagram by shading,
( or ).
Use replacement components that have the same
ratings, especially for flame resistance and
dielectric strength specifications. A replacement
part that does not have the same safety
characteristics as the original might create shock,
fire or other hazards.

Connecting Your VCR to the TV using the Coaxial Cable
To receive television programmes a signal must be received from one of the following sources:
◆An outdoor aerial ◆An indoor aerial ◆A cable television network
☛Make sure that both the television and the VCR are
switched off before connecting the cables.
1
Remove the aerial or network input cable from the television.
2
Connect this cable to the 75Ωcoaxial socket marked on the rear of your VCR.
3
Plug the coaxial cable supplied into the socket on your VCR.
4
Plug the other end of the coaxial cable into the connector previously used for the aerial on the television.
5
To obtain better quality pictures and sound on your television, you can also connect your VCR to the television via the RCA cable (see section below) if your television is equipped with this type of connection.
TV
Connecting Your VCR to the TV using the RCA Cable
You can connect your VCR to the television using the RCA cable if the appropriate input is available on the television. You thus:
◆Obtain better quality sound and pictures ◆Simplify the setting up procedure of your VCR
☛◆Regardless of the type of connection chosen, you must always connect the coaxial cable
supplied. Otherwise, no picture will be visible on the screen when the VCR is switched off.
◆Make sure that both the television and the VCR are switched off before connecting the cables.
1
Connect the coaxial cable as indicated in the above section.
2
Connect one end of the RCA Audio/Video cable to the Video output and Audio L, R output socket on the rear of the VCR.

Tuning Your Television for the VCR
You must tune your television for the VCR only if you are not using
a RCA cable
➢To view pictures from your VCR when a RCA cable is
used, the television must be set to the audio/video mode (AV).
1Switch on the television. 2Switch on the VCR by pressing ON/STANDBY on the front of the
VCR or ON/STANDBY on the remote control.
3Select a programme position on the television to be reserved for
use with your VCR.
4Insert the video cassette in the VCR. Check that the VCR starts
reading the cassette; if not, press PLAY (

) button.
5Start a scan on your television or set the television to UHF
channel 60.
6Fine tune the television until the pictures and sound are obtained
clearly.
7If you cannot find the pictures and sound, or there is interference
from nearby channels, it may be necessary to change the setting of the VCR output channel (see Solving Problems section of this manual).
8When the picture and sound are perfectly clear, store this channel
at the desired programme position on the television. Result:
That programme is now reserved for use with your VCR.
