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. It will also protect the receiver from being damaged by accidental shorting that may occur during servicing.

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. 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. Horizontal oscillator disable circuit test This test must be performed as a final check before the receiver is returned to the customer.

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.
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. IMPORTANT: Correct ID switch configuration should be input when replacing EEPROM for each television model, otherwise if wrong values are...

A-Board - Main chassis 1. Slide the chassis completely out of the guide rails. 2. Stand the receiver on its edge. The underside of the board is completely accessible for component replacement. Note: Some tie-wraps that secure the wire dressings may need to be unfastened for chassis removal. C-Board - CRT output The board plugs onto the socket on the CRT neck.

3. Unplug the CRT 2nd anode button from the main board. 4. Remove the C-Board from the CRT base and unplug the black wires (CRT dag ground) C10 & C11. 5. Disconnect the speakers plug from the A-Board. 6. Lift the main chassis (A-Board) and all mounted boards completely out with the CRT board attached.

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).
