5. Hot Chassis Warning ­ a. Some TV receiver chassis
are electrically connected directly to one conductor of
the AC power cord and may be safely serviced
without an isolation transformer only if the AC power
plug is inserted so that the chassis is connected to the
ground side of the AC power source. Confirm that the
AC power plug is inserted correctly with an AC
voltmeter by measuring between the chassis and a
known earth ground. If a voltage reading in excess of
1.0V is obtained, remove and reinsert the AC power
plug in the opposite polarity and again measure the
voltage potential between the chassis and a known
earth ground. b. Some TV receiver chassis normally
have 85V AC (RMS) between chassis and earth
ground regardless of the AC plug polarity. These
chassis can be safely serviced only with an isolation
transformer inserted in the power line between the
receiver and the AC power source, for both personnel
and test equipment protection. c. Some TV receiver
chassis have a secondary ground system in addition
to the main chassis ground. This secondary ground
system is not isolated from the AC power line. The two
ground systems are electrically separated by
insulating material that must not be defeated or
altered.


6. Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure
correct lead dress in the following areas: a. near
sharp edges, b. near thermally hot parts ­ be sure
that leads and components do not touch thermally hot
parts, c. the AC supply, d. high voltage and e. antenna
wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-
plate, or frayed wiring. Do not change spacing
between components and the printed circuit board.

Information for service about lead-free solder introduction
Hitachi introduced lead-free solder to conserve the "Earth Environment".
Please refer to the following before servicing.

(1) Characteristic of lead-free solder
Melting point of lead free solder is 40-50oC higher than solder containing lead.



(2) Solder for service
Following composition is recommended.
" Sn - 3.0Ag - 0.5Cu " , or " Sn - 0.7 Cu "
Lead solder can be used, but there is a possibility of failure due to insufficient strength of the solder.


Caution when using solder containing lead.
Please remove previous solder as much as possible from the soldering point.
When soldering, please perfectly melt the lead-free solder to mix well with the previous solder.

(3) Soldering iron for lead-free solder.
Melting point of lead-free solder is higher than solder containing lead.
Use of a soldering tool "with temperature control" and "with much thermal capacitance" is recommended.
(Recommended temperature control : 320oC - 450oC)

Recommended temperature
PWB with chip parts 320oC +/- 30oC
PWB without chip parts 380oC +/- 30oC
Chassis, metal, shield etc. 420oC +/- 30oC

(4) Identification of lead-free PWB

2003 models >> mixed
2004 models >> lead-free solder is introduced
2005 models >> lead-free solder apply


On lead-free PWB, "F" is added at the beginning of stamp on PWB. (e.g. F DP55)
