IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
1. Before returning an instrument to the customer, always
make a safety check of the entire instrument, including
but not limited to the following items.
a. Be sure that no built-in protective devices are
defective and/or have been deleted during servicing.
(1) Protective shields are provided on this chassis to
protect both the technician and the customer.
Correctly replace all missing protective shields,
including any removed for servicing convenience. (2)
When reinstalling the chassis and/or other assembly
in the cabinet, be sure to put back in place all
protective devices, including but not limited to,
nonmetallic control knobs, insulating fishpaper,
adjustment and compartment covers/shields, and
isolation resistor/capacitor networks. Do not operate
this instrument or permit it to be operated without
all protective devices correctly installed and
functioning. Servicers who defeat safety features
or fail to perform safety checks may be liable for
any resulting damage.
b. Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through
which an adult or child might be able to insert their
fingers and contact a hazardous voltage. Such
openings include, but are not limited to (1) spacing
between the picture tube and cabinet mask, (2)
excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots, and (3) an
improperly fitted and/or incorrectly secured cabinet
back cover.
c. Antenna Cold Check Ð With the instrument AC plug
removed from any AC source, connect an electrical
jumper across the two AC plug prongs. Place the
instrument AC switch in the on position. Connect one
lead of an ohmmeter to the AC plug prongs tied
together and touch the other ohmmeter lead in turn to
each tuner antenna input, exposed terminal screw
and, if applicable, to the coaxial connector. If the
measured resistance is less than 1.0 megohms or
greater than 5.2 megohms, an abnormality exists that
must be corrected before the instrument is returned to
the customer. Repeat this test with the instrument AC
switch in the off position.
d. Leakage Current Hot Check Ð With the instrument
completely reassembled, plug the AC line cord
directly into a 120V AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation
transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current
tester or a metering system that complies with
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.0
Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) 1410, (50.7). With the instrument
AC switch first in the on position and then in the off
position, measure from a known earth ground (metal
waterpipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of
the instrument (antennas, handle bracket, metal
cabinet, screw heads, metallic overlays, control
shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that
offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliamps.
Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet
and repeat test.
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS
SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED
BEFORE RETURNING THE INSTRUMENT TO THE
CUSTOMER OR BEFORE CONNECTING THE
ANTENNA OR ACCESSORIES.
e. High Voltage -- This receiver is provided with a hold
down circuit for clearly indicating that voltage has
increased in excess of a predetermined value.
Comply will all notes described in this Service Manual
regarding this hold down circuit when servicing, so
that this hold down circuit may correctly be operated.
f. Service Warning -- With maximum contrast, operating
high voltage in this receiver is lower than 31.5 kV. In
case any component having influence on high voltage
is replaced, confirm that the high voltage with
maximum contrast is lower than 31.5 kV.
To measure H.V. use a high impedance H.V. meter.
Connect (-) to chassis earth and (+) to the CRT anode
button. (See the following connection diagram.)
Note:
Turn power switch off without fail before the
connection to the anode button is made.

g. X-radiation TUBE: The primary source of X-
radiation in this receiver is the picture tube. The tube
utilized for the above mentioned function in this
chassis is specially constructed to limit X-radiation
emissions.
For continued X-radiation protection, the replacement
tube must be the same type as the original, Hitachi
approved type.
When troubleshooting and making test measure-
ments in a receiver with a problem of excessive high
voltage, avoid being unnecessarily close to the pic-
ture tube and the high voltage component.
Do not operate the chassis longer than is necessary
to locate the cause of excessive voltage.
h. X-radiation Shield
1. This receiver is provided with X-ray shield plates
for protection against X-radiation. Do not remove
X-ray shield plates A, B, or C shown in Fig. 1
unnecessarily,
when
troubleshooting
and/or
making test measurements.
2. To prevent X-radiation, after replacement of
picture tube and lens, confirm these components
to be fixed correctly to bracket and cabinet, and
not to be taken off easily.

2. Read and comply with all caution and safety-related
notes on or inside the receiver cabinet, on the
receiver chassis, or on the picture tube.
3. Design Alteration Warning Do not alter or add to
the mechanical or electrical design of this TV receiver.
Design alterations and additions including but not
limited to circuit modifications and the addition of
items such as auxiliary audio and/or video output
connectors, might alter the safety characteristics of
this receiver and create a hazard to the user. Any
design alterations or additions may void the
manufacturer's warranty and may make you, the
servicer, responsible for personal injury or property
damage resulting therefrom.
4. Picture Tube Implosion Protection Warning The
picture tube in this receiver employs integral
implosion
protection.
For
continued
implosion
protection, replace the picture tube only with one of
the same type number. Do not remove, install, or
otherwise handle the picture tube in any manner
without first putting on shatterproof goggles equipped
with side shields. People not so equipped must be
kept safely away while picture tubes are handled.
Keep the picture tube away from your body. Do not
handle the picture tube by its neck.
5. Hot Chassis Warning a. Some TV receiver chassis
are electrically connected directly to one conductor of
the AC power cord and may be safely serviced
without an isolation transformer only if the AC power
plug is inserted so that the chassis is connected to the
ground side of the AC power source. Confirm that the
AC power plug is inserted correctly with an AC
voltmeter by measuring between the chassis and a
known earth ground. If a voltage reading in excess of
1.0V is obtained, remove and reinsert the AC power
plug in the opposite polarity and again measure the
voltage potential between the chassis and a known
earth ground. b. Some TV receiver chassis normally
have 85V AC (RMS) between chassis and earth
ground regardless of the AC plug polarity. These
chassis can be safely serviced only with an isolation
transformer inserted in the power line between the
receiver and the AC power source, for both personnel
and test equipment protection. c. Some TV receiver
chassis have a secondary ground system in addition
to the main chassis ground. This secondary ground
system is not isolated from the AC power line. The two
ground systems are electrically separated by
insulating material that must not be defeated or
altered.
6. Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure
correct lead dress in the following areas: a. near
sharp edges, b. near thermally hot parts be sure
that leads and components do not touch thermally hot
parts, c. the AC supply, d. high voltage and e. antenna
wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-
plate, or frayed wiring. Do not change spacing
between components and the printed circuit board.
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. Additionally, determine the
cause of overheating and/or damage and, if
necessary, take corrective action to remove any
potential safety hazard.
8. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE Many TV electrical
and mechanical parts have special safety-related
characteristics some of which are often not evident
from visual inspection, nor can the protection they
give necessarily be obtained by replacing them with
components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Parts that have special safety characteristics are
identified in Hitachi service data by shading on
schematics and by a
in the parts list. Use of
substitute replacement that does not have the same
safety characteristics as the recommended replace-
ment part in Hitachi service data parts list might
create shock, fire, and/or other hazards. Product
safety is under review continuously and new
instructions are issued whenever appropriate. For the
latest information, always consult the appropriate
current Hitachi service literature. A subscription to, or
additional copies of service literature may be obtained
at a nominal charge from Hitachi.
