GENERAL SAFETY NOTES IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all Philips Consumer Electronics Company** equipment. The service procedures recommended by Philips and described in this service manual are effective methods of performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.

PARTS REPLACEMENT FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD 1. Be sure all components are positioned in such a way as to avoid the possibility of adjacent component shorts. This is especially important on those chassis which are transported to and from the service shop.
Page 5
1. Be sure procedures and instructions to all your service personnel cover the subject of X-radiation. Potential sources of X-rays in TV receivers are the picture tube and the high voltage circuits. The basic precaution which must be exercised is to keep the high voltage at the factory recommended level. 2.

LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK 1. Do not use an isolation transformer for this test. Plug the completely reassembled receiver directly into the ac outlet. 1.5k, 1OW resistor 0.15uF. capacitor 2. Connect a paralleled by a between each exposed good earth ground metallic cabinet part and a such as a water pipe, as shown below.

X-RADIATION PICTURE TUBE REPLACEMENT PARTS REPLACEMENT WARNING Before removing the CRT anode cap, turn the unit OFF and short the HIGH VOLTAGE to the CRT DAG ground. SERVICE NOTE: The CRT DAG is not at chassis ground. TV-VCR COMBI SAFETY NOTES IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Prior to shipment from the factory, our products are strictly inspected for recognized product safety and electrical codes of the countries in which they are to be sold.

d. X-Radiation and High Voltage Limits - Because the picture tube is the primary potential source of X-radiation in solid-state TV receivers, it is specially constructed to prohibit X-radiation emissions. For continued X-radiation protection, the replacement picture tube must be the same type as the original.

thermally hot parts, c. the ac supply, d. high voltage, and e. antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out of place, or frayed wiring. Check ac power cord for damage. 7. Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated or are otherwise damaged should be replaced with components, parts, or wiring that meet original specifications.
Page 11
2) Strip about 15 mm of the insulation from the ends of the wires. If the wires are stranded, twist the strands to avoid frayed conductors. 3) Align the lengths of the wires to be connected. Insert the wires fully into the connector. 4) Use the crimping tool to crimp the metal sleeve at the center position.

PREVENTION OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) Some semiconductor solid state devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices, Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

7618 General Information page 6 General Soldering Guidelines 1. Use a grounded-tip, low-wattage soldering iron and appropriate tip size and shape that will maintain tip temperature within the range 500°F to 600°F. 2. Use an appropriate gauge of resin-core solder composed of 60 parts tin/40 parts lead. 3.

7618 General Information page 7 IC Removal/Replacement Some chassis circuit boards have slotted holes (oblong) through which the IC leads are inserted and then bent flat against the circuit foil. When holes are the slotted type, the following technique should be used to remove and replace the IC.
Page 21
7618 General Information page 8 Diode Removal/Replacement 1. Remove defective diode by clipping its leads as close as possible to diode body. 2. Bend the two remaining leads perpendicularly to the circuit board. 3. Observing diode polarity, wrap each lead of the new diode around the corresponding lead on the circuit board.

Page 23
7618 General Information page 10 Circuit Board Foil Repair Excessive heat applied to the copper foil of any printed circuit board will weaken the adhesive that bonds the foil to the circuit board, causing the foil to separate from, or lift-off, the board. The following guidelines and procedures should be followed whenever this condition is encountered.
Page 24
7618 General Information page 11 At Other Connections: Use the following technique to repair defective copper pattern at connections other than IC pins. This technique involves the installation of a jumper wire on the component side of the circuit board. 1.
