Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2. Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes
2.1 Safety instructions for repairs
Safety regulations require that during a repair: · Due to the chassis concept, a very large part of this chassis (incl. deflection) is 'hot'. Therefore the set must be connected to the mains via an isolating transformer. , should · Safety components, indicated by the symbol be replaced by components identical to the original ones. · When replacing the CRT, safety goggles must be worn. Safety regulations require that after a repair, the set must be returned in its original condition. In particular attention should be paid to the following points: · General repair instruction: as a strict precaution, we advise you to resolder the solder joints, through which the horizontal deflection current is flowing, in particular: ­ All pins of the line output transformer (LOT); ­ Fly-back capacitor(s); ­ S-correction capacitor(s); ­ Line output transistor; ­ Pins of the connector with wires to the deflection coil; ­ Other components through which the deflection current flows. Note: This resoldering is advised to prevent bad connections due to metal fatigue in solder joints and is therefore only necessary for television sets older than 2 years. · The wire trees and EHT cable should be routed correctly and fixed with the mounted cable clamps. · The insulation of the mains lead should be checked for external damage. · The mains lead strain relief should be checked for its function in order to avoid touching the CRT, hot components or heat sinks. · The electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and the secondary side should be checked (only for sets which have a mains isolated power supply). This check can be done as follows: ­ Unplug the mains cord and connect a wire between the two pins of the mains plug; ­ Set the mains switch to the 'ON' position (keep the mains cord unplugged!); ­ Measure the resistance value between the pins of the mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the aerial connection on the set. The reading should be between 4.5 MW and 12 MW. ­ Switch off the TV and remove the wire between the two pins of the mains plug. · The cabinet should be checked for defects to avoid touching of any inner parts by the customer.

2.3

Warnings
· In order to prevent damage to IC's and transistors, all high-voltage flashovers must be avoided. In order to prevent damage to the picture tube, the method shown in Fig. 2-1 should be used to discharge the picture tube. Use a high-voltage probe and a multimeter (position VDC). Discharge until the meter reading is 0 V (after approx. 30 s).

·

·

· · ·

·

2.2

Maintenance instructions
It is recommended to have a maintenance inspection carried out by a qualified service employee. The interval depends on the usage conditions: · When the set is used under normal circumstances, for example in a living room, the recommended interval is 3 to 5 years. · When the set is used in circumstances with higher dust, grease or moisture levels, for example in a kitchen, the recommended interval is 1 year. · The maintenance inspection contains the following actions: ­ Execute the above-mentioned 'general repair instruction'. ­ Clean the power supply and deflection circuitry on the chassis. ­ Clean the picture tube panel and the neck of the picture tube.





V

CL96532156_040.eps 140501

Figure 2-1 All IC's and many other semiconductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure that you are connected with the same potential as the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep components and tools also at this same potential. Together with the deflection unit and any multipole unit, the used flat square picture tubes form an integrated unit. The deflection and the multipole units are set optimally at the factory. Adjustment of this unit during repair is therefore not recommended. Be careful during measurements in the high-voltage section and on the picture tube. Never replace modules or other components while the unit is switched ON. When making settings, use plastic rather than metal tools. This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a circuit becoming unstable. Wear safety goggles during replacement of the picture tube.

Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes 2.4 Notes
· The direct voltages and oscillograms should be measured with regard to the tuner earth ( ) or hot earth ( ). The direct voltages and oscillograms shown in the diagrams are indicative and should be measured in the Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a colour bar signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz. Where necessary, the oscillograms and direct voltages are measured with ( ) and without ( ) aerial signal. Voltages in the power supply section are measured both for normal operation ( ) and in Standby ( ). These values are indicated by means of the appropriate symbols. The picture tube PWB has printed spark gaps. Each spark gap is connected between an electrode of the picture tube and the Aquadag coating. The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in the parts lists are completely interchangeable per position with the semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type indication on these semiconductors.

Today, most broadcasters in Europe, are offering teletext pages containing their programme schedule of today.These pages can be requested by switching the TV to Teletext Guide. An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme guide service called NEXTVIEW. NEXTVIEW is a new way of presenting programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext. With NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming tonight.

Both facilities are integrated in this TV: NEXTVIEW and Teletext Programme Guide. If a TV channel supports NEXTVIEW then the TV will automatically present the NEXTVIEW programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just teletext, then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide. Both facilities are offering the same functions: record, remind and info. However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible if these functions are possible. You can search for the programmes you want to watch up to 7 days in advance. It is also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g. sport, movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind you, or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is equipped with NEXTVIEWLink Level 2.0), once, daily, weekly or series. Teletext Guide/NEXTVIEW also allows direct access to detailed information about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.
