1 Safety precautions
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
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.
When servicing, observe the original lead dress, especially in the high voltage circuit. Replace all
damaged parts (also parts that show signs of overheating.)
Always replace protective devices, such as fish paper, isolation resistors and capacitors, and shields after
servicing the receiver. Use only manufacturer's recommended rating for fuses, circuits breakers, etc.
High potentials are present when this receiver is operating. Operation of the receiver without the rear
cover introduces danger for electrical shock. Servicing should not be performed by anyone who is not
thoroughly familiar with the necessary precautionswhen servicing high voltage equipment.
Extreme care should be practiced when handling the picture tube. Rough handling may cause it to
implode due to atmospheric pressure. (14.7 lbs per sq. in.). Do not nick or scratch the glass or subject it
to any undue pressure. When handling, usesafety goggles and heavy gloves for protection. Discharge the
picture tube by shorting the anode to chassis ground (not to the cabinet or to other mounting hardware).
When discharging connect cold ground (i.e. dag ground lead) to the anode with a wellinsulated wire or
use a grounding probe.Avoid prolonged exposure at close range to unshielded areas of the picture tube
to prevent exposure to x ray radiation.
The test picture tube used for servicing the chassis at the bench should incorporate safety glass and
magnetic shielding. The safety glass provide shielding for the tube viewing area against x ray radiation
as well as implosion. The magnetic shieldlimits the x ray radiation around the bell of the picture tube in
addition to the restricting magnetic effects. When using a picture tube test jig for service, ensure that the
jig is capable of handling 50kV without causing x ray radiation.
Before returning a serviced receiver to the owner, the service technician must thoroughly test the unit to
ensure that is completely safe to operate. Do not use a line isolation transformer when testing.
Leakage current cold check
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0100000000x.html (1 of 3)05.12.2008 0:00:16
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0100000000x.html
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. If the exposed metallic part does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading
should be infinite.
Leakage current hot check
Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer during the check.
Connect a 1.5k 10 watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15¼F capacitor between an exposed metallic part
and ground. Use earth ground, for example a water pipe.
Using a DVM with a 1000 ohms/volt sensitivity or higher, measure the AC potential across the resistor.
Repeat the procedure and measure the voltage present with all other exposed metallic parts.
Verify that any potential does not exceed 0.75 volt RMS. A leakage current tester (such a Simpson
model 229, Sencore model PR57 or equivalent) may be used in the above procedure, in which case any
current measure must not exceed 0.5 milliamp. Ifany measurement is out of the specified limits, there is
a possibility of a shock hazard and the receiver must be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to
the customer.
Hot check circuit
Insulation test
Connect an insulation tester between an exposed metallic part and A.C. line. Apply 1080VAC/60Hz for
1 second. Confirm that the current measurement is 0.5mA ~ 2.0mA. Repeat test with other metallic
exposed parts.
X ray radiation
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0100000000x.html (2 of 3)05.12.2008 0:00:16
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0100000000x.html
WARNING
The potential source of x ray radiation in the TV set is in the high voltage section and the picture tube.
NOTE
It is important to use an accurate, calibrated high voltage meter.
Set the brightness, picture, sharpness and color controls to minimum.
Measure the high voltage. The high voltage should be 33.0 ± 1.0kV. If the upper limit is out of
tolerance, immediate service and correction is required to insure safe operation and to prevent the
possibility of prematurecomponent failure.
Horizontal oscillator disable circuit test
This test must be performed as a final check before the receiver is returned to the customer. See
horizontal oscillator disable circuit procedure check in this manual.

NOTE
These components are affixed with glue. Be careful not to break or damage any foil under the
component or at the pins of the ICs when removing. Usually applying heat to the component for a short
time while twisting with tweezers will break the componentloose.
Leadless chip component (surface mount)
Chip components must be replaced with identical chips due to critical foil track spacing. There are no
holes in the board to mount standard transistors or diodes. Some chips capacitor or resistor board solder
pads may have holes through the board,however the hole diameter limits standard resistor replacement
to 1/8 watt. Standard capacitor may also be limited for the same reason. It is recommended that identical
components be used.
Chip resistor have a three digit numerical resistance code, 1st and 2nd significant digits and a multiplier.
Example: 162 = 1600 or 1.6k resistor, 0 = 0 (jumper).
Chip capacitors generally do not have the value indicated on the capacitor. The color of the component
indicates the general range of the capacitance.
Chip transistors are identified by a two letter code. The first letter indicates the type and the second
letter, the grade of transistor.
Chip diodes have a two letter identification code as per the code chart and are a dual diode pack with
either common anode or common cathode. Check the parts list for correct diode number.
Component removal
1. Use solder wick to remove solder from component end caps or terminal.
2. Without pulling up, carefully twist the component with tweezers to break the adhesive.
3. Do not reuse removed leadless or chip components since they are subject to stress fracture during
removal.

http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0200000000x.html
Chip component installation
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.
How to replace flat ic (required tools)
1. Remove the solder from all of the pins of a Flat IC by using a desolder braid
2. Put the iron wire under the pins of the Flat IC and pull it in the direction indicated while heating
the pins using a soldering iron. A small awl can be used instead of the iron wire.

http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0200000000x.html
3. Remove the solder from all the pads of the Flat IC by using a de solder braid
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. Solder all pins to the soldering pads using a fine tipped soldering iron
6. Check with a magnifier for solder bridge between the pins or for dry joint between pins and
soldering pads. To remove a solder bridge, use a de solder braid as shown in the figure below
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0200000000x.html (3 of 4)05.12.2008 0:00:25
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0200000000x.html
IMPORTANT
To protect against possible damage to the solid state devices due to arching or static discharge, make
certain that all ground wires and CRT DAG wire are securely connected.
CAUTION
The power supply circuit is above earth ground and the chassis cannot be polarized. Use an isolation
transformer when servicing the receiver to avoid damage to the test equipment or to the chassis. Connect
the test equipment to the proper ground(hot) or (cold) when servicing, or incorrect voltages will be
measured.

4 About lead free solder (PbF)
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
NOTE
Lead is listed as (Pb) in the periodic table of elements.
In the information below, Pb will refer to lead solder, and PbF will refer to Lead Free Solder.
The lead free solder used in our manufacturing process and discussed below is (Sn+Ag+Cu).
Thatis Tin (Sn), Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) although other types are available.
This model uses Pb Free solder in it's manufacture due to environmental conservation issues. For
service and repair work, we'd suggest the use of Pb free solder as well, although Pb solder may be
used.
PCBs manufacturedusing lead free solder will have the "PbF" or a leaf symbol stamped on the
back of PCB.
CAUTION
q Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder. Typically the melting point is 50 ~
70 °F (30 ~ 40 °C) higher. Please use a high temperature soldering iron and set it to 700 ± 20 °F
(370 ± 10 °C).
q Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100 °F or 600 °C).
If you must use Pb solder, please completely remove all of the Pb free solder on the pins or solder
area before applying Pb solder. If thisis not practical, be sure to heat the Pb free solder until it
melts, before applying Pb solder.
q After applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the component side for excess
solder which may flow onto the opposite side.

http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s0400000000x.html
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.

12 Purity and convergence procedure
TOP PREVIOUS NEXT
Adjustment is necessary only if the CRT or the deflection yoke is replaced or if the setting was
disturbed. The complete procedure consists of:
1. Vertical raster shift adjustment.
2. Initial static convergence.
3. Setting the purity.
4. Final static convergence.
WHEN THE CRT OR THE YOKE IS REPLACED
For 2 piece assembly:
Position purity/convergence assembly as shown and tighten clamp snugly. Remove the hot-melt glue
seal on assembly and position like tabs of purity device together at 12 o' clock to reduce its magnetic
field effect.
2 piece assembly
For models using 4 pairs of rings, place the yoke on the CRT neck (do not tighten the clamp). Place the
vertical raster shift tabs at 3 o'clock (90° from the purity and convergence tabs.

http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s1200000000x.html
Description of rings
Initial position of rings
Turn the receiver ON. Operate the receiver for 60 minutes using the first purity check field (white
screen) to stabilize the CRT.
Fully degauss the receiver by using an external degaussing coil.
Slide the deflection yoke back and forth on the neck of the CRT until it produces a near white, uniform
raster.
VERTICAL RASTER SHIFT ADJUSTMENT
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s1200000000x.html (2 of 5)05.12.2008 0:01:52
http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s1200000000x.html
Apply a green pattern with a horizontal line, adjust the Deflection Yoke so that has no tilt, then secure it.
Adjust center line of the pattern with the mechanical center of the CRT, this center is determined by two
marks at the side edges of the screen. To adjust the line, once the vertical raster shift tabs are place at 3
o'clock to reduce itsmagnetic field effect open the tabs the same angle from the center, until the center
line of the pattern becomes a straight line, centered with the marks of the CRT.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Rings come along with deflection yoke in one piece.
Vertical raster shift adjustment
INITIAL CENTER STATIC CONVERGENCE
Connect a dot/cross hatch generator to the receiver and tune in a signal. Observe misconvergence at
center of the screen only.
Adjust the R&B pole magnets; by separating tabs and rotating to converge blue with red.
Adjust the R&B and R&B&G pole magnets: by separating tabs and rotating to converge blue and red
(magenta) with green.
NOTE
Precise convergence at this point is not important.

Press the RECALL button on the remote control again until the purity check (green screen) appears.
Loosen the deflection yoke clamp screw and move the deflection yoke back as close to the purity
magnet as possible.
Adjust the purity rings to set the vertical green raster precisely at the center of the screen.
Green raster adjustment
Slowly move the deflection yoke forward until the best overall green screen is displayed.
Tighten the deflection yoke clamp screw.
Press the RECALL button on the remote control again until the purity check blue and red screens appear
and observe that good purity is obtained on each respective field.
Press the RECALL button on the remote control again until purity check (white screen) appears.
Observe the screen for uniform white. If purity has not been achieved, repeat the above procedure.

http://tsn.pstc.panasonic.com/viewing/NA/CT-36SL13G/SVC/s1200000000x.html
FINAL CONVERGENCE PROCEDURE
NOTE
Vertical size and focus adjustments must be completed prior to performing the convergence adjustment.
Connect a dot pattern generator to the receiver. The brightness level should not be higher than necessary
to obtain a clear pattern.
Converge the red and the blue dots at the center of the screen by rotating the R&B pole static
convergence magnets.
Align the converged red/blue dots with the green dots at the center of the screen by rotating the R&B&G
pole static convergence magnets. Melt wax with soldering iron to reseal the magnets.
Slightly tilt vertically and horizontally (do not rotate) the deflection yoke to obtain a good overall
convergence.
If convergence is not reached at the edges, insert permalloy in the DY corners to achieve proper
convergence. Recheck for purity and readjust if necessary.
After vertical adjustment of the yoke, insert wedge at 11 o'clock position, then make the horizontal
tilt adjustment.
Secure the deflection yoke by inserting four side wedges.
Apply adhesive between tab (thin portion) of wedge and CRT and place tape over the tab to secure to the
CRT.
