Service Notes  
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 component loose.  
Leadless Chip Component  
(surface mount)  
How to Replace Flat-IC  
- Required Tools -  
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.  
Soldering iron  
De-solder braids  
Magnifier  
Iron wire or small awl  
1. Remove the solder from all of the pins of a Flat-IC  
by using a de-solder braid.  
De-Solder  
Braid  
Flat-IC  
Chip resistor have a three digit numerical resistance  
code - 1st and 2nd significant digits and a multiplier.  
Example: 162 = 1600 or 1.6kresistor, 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.  
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.

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.

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.  
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.

Purity and Convergence Procedure  
Adjustment is necessary only if the CRT or the  
Vertical Raster Shift Adjustment (Only for  
Models with Purity/Convergence Assembly with 4  
Pairs of Rings).  
deflection yoke is replaced or if the setting was  
disturbed. The complete procedure consists of:  
1. Vertical Raster Shift Adjustment. (Only for Models  
with Purity/Convergence Assembly with 4 Pairs  
of Rings).  
2. Initial static convergence.  
3. Setting the purity.  
4. Final static convergence.  
When the CRT or theYoke is Replaced  
Place the yoke on the CRT neck (do not tighten  
the clamp).  
Place the vertical raster shift tabs at 3 o’clock (90o from  
the purity and convergence tabs)  
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 its magnetic field effect (see Fig. 9  
and Fig. 10) 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. (see  
Fig. 11)

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.  
- 13 -  
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.  
Final Convergence Procedure (see Fig. 17  
through Fig. 19):  
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 (see following section) from 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 two side  
wedges at 3 and 7 o’clock positions.  
Apply adhesive between tab (thin portion) of wedge  
and CRT and place tape over the tab to secure to  
the CRT.  
Note: Precise convergence at this point is  
not important.  
Purity Adjustment  
When the Receiver is in the Serviceman Mode for  
making electronic adjustments, press the Recall button  
on the Remote Control to enter Purity Check. (See the  
Service  
Adjustments  
Electronic  
Controls  
procedure).  
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.  
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 (see Fig .12).  
Dynamic Corvergence Adjustment  
Use this for a precisely overall convergence adjust at  
the edges.  
NOTES:  
DY(YHC, YV, XV) Adjustment  
1. CRT warm up with white screen  
(three guns activated) is needed  
to stabilize the shadow mask  
expansion.  
2. Initial center static convergence  
(roughly centers three gun  
beams) is required in order to  
perform purity adjustment.  
YV Adjustment (VR1 for Horizontal dynamic  
convergence)  
1. Apply a crosshatch pattern.  
2. Adjust contrast and brightness customer controls  
to obtain a correct picture.  
3. With a driver adjust VR1 (located in deflection yoke  
board Fig. 19) to obtain a proper corvergence at  
top and bottom of the screen (See Fi g.13)
