A complete parts list and schematics are included in this simplified service manual.
violation of law. 1. Safety precautions General guidelines An isolation transformer should always be used during the servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from AC power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this protects the technician from accidents resulting in personal injuryfrom electrical shocks.

Unplug the A.C. cord and connect a jumper between the two plug prongs.Measure the resistance between the jumpered AC plug and expose metallic parts such as screwheads, antenna terminals, control shafts, etc. If the exposed metallic part has a returnpath to the chassis, the reading should be between 240k and 5.2M .
Measure the high voltage. The high voltage should be 29.25 ± 1.25kV (for 27” and 32” models) and 31.25 ± 1.25kV (for 36” models). If the upper limit is out of tolerance,immediate service and correction is required to insure safe operation and to prevent the possibility of premature component failure.

1. Put a small amount of solder on the board soldering pads. 2. Hold the chip component against the soldering pads with tweezers or with a miniature alligator clip and apply heat to the pad area with a 30 watt iron until solder flows. Do not apply heat for more than 3 seconds.

4. Position the new Flat IC in place (apply the pins of the Flat IC to the soldering pads where the pins need to be soldered). Properly determine the positions of the soldering pads and pins by correctly aligning the polarity symbol 5.

chassis. Connect the test equipment to the proper ground(hot) or (cold) when servicing, or incorrect voltages will be measured. 2.1. X-Ray Protection Circuit Check& Adjustments This test must be performed as final check before the receiver is returned to the customer. If voltages are out of tolerance, immediate service and correction is required to insure safe operation and to prevent the possibility of premature componentfailure.
5. Apply a monoscope pattern. 6. Set customer picture and brightness controls to the minimum. 7. Set current within 50 A to 100 A by changing the picture and bright controls. 8. Slowly increase AC voltage at the input of the isolation transformer and confirm HHS voltage measure 33kV for 27”...
5. Change to the next ID switch register with “CH” keys and repeat the same procedure as step 4. 6. When replacing a new EEPROM be sure to set the correct ID switch values for each model. 7. Once that all 3 registers are set with the correct address value, perform all of the remaining adjustments and servicing.
the component side for excess solder which may flow onto the opposite side. Suggested Pb free solder There are several kinds of Pb free solder available for purchase. This product uses Sn+Ag+Cu (tin, silver, copper) solder. However, Sn+Cu (tin, copper), Sn+Zn+Bi (tin, zinc, bismuth) solder can also beused.

A-Board - Main chassis 1. Carefully pull out Y1, Y2, Y3 connectors from Y-board and plug from second tuner of A-Board (models with PIP feature only). 2. Slide the chassis completely out of the guide rails. 3. Stand the receiver on its edge. The underside of the board is completely accessible for component replacement.

NOTE When reassembling speakers be sure to connect the speaker wires to the correct speaker lead (+) 9.1. Disassembly for CRT replacement 1. Discharge the CRT as instructed in the “safety precautions”. 2. Disconnect the yoke (DY) plug, degaussing coil (DEG) plug from the main board.
Page 19
To remove and remount the degaussing coil: - Unhook the coil spring from the bottom corners of the CRT ears. - Release the braid loop from the upper corners of the CRT ears. 7. Mount the dag ground braid on the replacement CRT. Position the degaussing coil with new ties.
10. Chassis service adjustment procedures All service adjustments are factory preset and should not require adjustment unless controls and/ or associated components are replaced. Note: Connect the (-) lead of the voltmeter to the appropriate ground. Use IC801’s heat sink when the HOT ground symbol is used. Otherwise, use COLD ground (Tuner shield, IC451’s heat sink or FA2).

12. Service mode (electronic adjustments) This receiver has electronic technology using the I C bus concept. It performs as a control function and it replaces many mechanical controls. Instead of adjusting mechanical controls individually, many of the control functions are nowperformed by using “on screen display menu”.
