Please include the following informations when you order parts. (Particularly the VERSION LETTER.)
1. MODEL NUMBER and VERSION LETTER
The MODEL NUMBER can be found on the back of each product and the VERSION LETTER can be found at the end of the SERIAL
NUMBER.
2. PART NO. and DESCRIPTION
You can find it in your SERVICE MANUAL.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SERVICING NOTICES ON CHECKING
1. KEEP THE NOTICES
As for the places which need special attentions, they are
indicated with the labels or seals on the cabinet, chassis and
parts. Make sure to keep the indications and notices in the
operation manual.
2. AVOID AN ELECTRIC SHOCK
There is a high voltage part inside. Avoid an electric shock
while the electric current is flowing.
3. USE THE DESIGNATED PARTS
The parts in this equipment have the specific characters of
incombustibility and withstand voltage for safety. Therefore,
the part which is replaced should be used the part which has
the same character.
Especially as to the important parts for safety which is
indicated in the circuit diagram or the table of parts as a
!
mark, the designated parts must be used.
4. PUT PARTS AND WIRES IN THE ORIGINAL
POSITION AFTER ASSEMBLING OR WIRING
There are parts which use the insulation material such as a
tube or tape for safety, or which are assembled in the condition
that these do not contact with the printed board. The inside
wiring is designed not to get closer to the pyrogenic parts and
high voltage parts.
Therefore, put these parts in the original positions.
5. TAKE CARE TO DEAL WITH THE
CATHODE-RAY TUBE
In the condition that an explosion-proof cathoderay tube is set
in this equipment, safety is secured against implosion.
However, when removing it or serving from backward, it is
dangerous to give a shock. Take enough care to deal with it.
6. AVOID AN X-RAY
Safety is secured against an X-ray by considering about the
cathode-ray tube and the high voltage peripheral circuit, etc.
Therefore, when repairing the high voltage peripheral circuit,
use the designated parts and make sure not modify the
circuit.
Repairing except indicates causes rising of high voltage, and
it emits an X-ray from the cathoderay tube.
7. PERFORM A SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING
Confirm that the screws, parts and wiring which were
removed in order to service are put in the original positions, or
whether there are the portions which are deteriorated around
the serviced places serviced or not. Check the insulation
between the antenna terminal or external metal and the AC
cord plug blades. And be sure the safety of that.
(INSULATION CHECK PROCEDURE)
1. Unplug the plug from the AC outlet.
2. Remove the antenna terminal on TV and turn on the TV.
3. Insulation resistance between the cord plug terminals and
the eternal exposure metal [Note 2] should be more than
1M ohm by using the 500V insulation resistance meter
[Note 1].
4. If the insulation resistance is less than 1M ohm, the
inspection repair should be required.
[Note 1]
If you have not the 500V insulation resistance meter, use a
Tester.
[Note 2]
External exposure metal: Antenna terminal
Earphone jack
HOW TO ORDER PARTS
Inferior silicon grease can damage IC's and transistors.
When replacing an IC's or transistors, use only specified silicon grease (YG6260M).
Remove all old silicon before applying new silicon.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. REMOVAL OF ANODE CAP
Read the following NOTED items before starting work.
* After turning the power off there might still be a potential voltage
that is very dangerous. When removing the Anode Cap, make
sure to discharge the Anode Cap's potential voltage.
* Do not use pliers to loosen or tighten the Anode Cap terminal,
this may cause the spring to be damaged.
REMOVAL
1. Follow the steps as follows to discharge the Anode Cap.
(Refer to Fig. 1-1.)
Connect one end of an Alligator Clip to the metal part of a flat-
blade screwdriver and the other end to ground.
While holding the plastic part of the insulated Screwdriver, touch
the support of the Anode with the tip of the Screwdriver.
A cracking noise will be heard as the voltage is discharged.

2. Flip up the sides of the Rubber Cap in the direction of the arrow
and remove one side of the support.
(Refer to Fig. 1-2.)

3. After one side is removed, pull in the opposite direction to
remove the other.
NOTE
Take care not to damage the Rubber Cap.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the spot where the cap was located with a small amount of
alcohol. (Refer to Fig. 1-3.)
NOTE
Confirm that there is no dirt, dust, etc. at the spot where the cap
was located.
4. Insert one end of the Anode Support into the anode button, then
the other as shown in Fig. 1-5.

2. Arrange the wire of the Anode Cap and make sure the wire is not
twisted.
3. Turn over the Rubber Cap. (Refer to Fig. 1-4.)
Fig. 1-4
5. Confirm that the Support is securely connected.
6. Put on the Rubber Cap without moving any parts.

2. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF
FLAT PACKAGE IC
REMOVAL
1. Put the Masking Tape (cotton tape) around the Flat Package IC
to protect other parts from any damage.
(Refer to Fig. 2-1.)
NOTE
Masking is carried out on all the parts located within 10 mm
distance from IC leads.

2. Heat the IC leads using a blower type IC desoldering machine.
(Refer to Fig. 2-2.)
NOTE
Do not add the rotating and the back and forth directions force
on the IC, until IC can move back and forth
easily after desoldering the IC leads completely.

3. When IC starts moving back and forth easily after desoldering
completely, pickup the corner of the IC using a tweezers and
remove the IC by moving with the IC desoldering machine.
(Refer to Fig. 2-3.)
NOTE
Some ICs on the PCB are affixed with glue, so be careful not
to break or damage the foil of each IC leads or solder lands
under the IC when removing it.

4. Peel off the Masking Tape.
5. Absorb the solder left on the pattern using the Braided Shield
Wire. (Refer to Fig. 2-4.)
NOTE
Do not move the Braided Shield Wire in the vertical direction
towards the IC pattern.
