1. SAFETY INSTRUCTION AND GENERAL INSTRUCTION
Before servicing and aligning this equipment, please read the following
“X-RAY RADIATION
PRECAUTION”
,
”SAFETY PRECAUTION”
and
“PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE”
.
1.1 X-RAY RADIATION PRECAUTION
1
）
Excessive high voltage can produce potentially hazardous X-RAY RADIATION. To avoid such
hazards, the high voltage must not be above the specified limit. The normal value of the high voltage
of this receiver is under 24.5kV(21”) and 22.5KV(14”) at zero beam current (minimum brightness),
the high voltage must not, under any circumstances, exceed 30kV.

）
Each time a receiver requires servicing, the high voltage should be checked following the HIGH
VOLTAGE CHECK procedure in this manual. It is recommended the reading of the high voltage be
recorded as a part of service record. It is important to use an accurate and reliable high voltage
meter.

The primary source of X-RAY RADIATION in this TV receiver is the picture tube. For continuous
X-RAY RADIATION protection, the replacement tube must be exactly the same type tube as
specified in the parts list.

）
Some parts in this receiver have special safety-related characteristics for X-RAY RADIATION
protection. For continuous safety, parts replacement should be undertaken only after referring to the
PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE below.
1.2 SAFETY PRECAUTION WARNING:
Service should not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar with the necessary precaution on this receiver.
The following are the necessary precautions to be observed before servicing this chassis.
1) Since the power supply circuit of this receiver is directly connected to the AC power line, an isolation
transformer should be used during any dynamic service to avoid possible shock hazard.
2) Always discharge the picture tube anode to the CRT conductive coating before handling the picture
tube. The picture tube is highly evacuated and if broken, glass fragments will be violently expelled.
Use shatter proof goggles and keep picture tube away from the unprotected body while handling.
3) When replacing a chassis in the cabinet, always be certain that all the protective devices are put
back in place, such as: non-metallic control knobs, insulating covers, shields, isolation
resistor-capacitor network etc.
4) When replacing parts or circuit boards, disconnect the power cord.
5) When replacing a high wattage resistor (oxiode metal film resistor) on the circuit board, keep the
resistor 10mm (1/2in) away from circuit board.
6) Connection wires must be kept away from components with high voltage or high temperature.
7) If any fuse in this TV receiver is blown, replace it with the FUSE specified in the chassis parts list.
AUTION:
THIS SERVICE MANUAL IS ONLY FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PERSONNEL’S
REFERENCE. BEFORE SERVICING THIS CHASSIS, PLEASE READ THE
FOLLOWING NOTICE ITEMS.
