SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by in
the Schematic Diagram and Replacement Parts List.
It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to
prevent X-RADIATION, Shock, Fire, or other Hazards.
Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.

When replacing a high wattage resistor (Oxide Metal Film

If the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the
measured resistance should be between 1M and 5.2M.
When the exposed metal has no return path to the chassis the
reading must be infinite.
An other abnormality exists that must be corrected before the
receiver is returned to the customer.

Watching VCR
- When connecting the Monitor to external equipment, match the colours of connecting ports (Video - yellow, Audio (L) - white,
Audio (R) -red).
- Connect the VIDEO INPUT socket (yellow) to the VIDEO INPUT on the set.
- If you have a mono VCR, connect the audio cable from the VCR to the AUDIO (L/MONO) input on the set.
- If you connect an S-VIDEO VCR to the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is improved; compared to connecting a regular VCR
to the Video input.
- Use the orbiter function to Avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time. Typically a frozen still pic-
ture from a VCR. (Refer to p. 25)
If a 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed image may remain visible on the screen.
- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and set.
