When service is required, an isolation transformer should beinserted between power line and the receiver before anyservice is performed on a HOT chassis receiver.2. When replacing a chassis in the receiver, all the protectivedevices must be put back in place, such as barriers, non-metallic knobs, insulating cover-shields, and isolationresistors, capacitors, etc.3. When service is required, observe the original lead dress.4. Always use manufacturers replacement components. Criticalcomponents as indicated on the circuit diagram should not bereplaced by another manufacturers. Furthermore, where ashort circuit has occurred, replace those components thatindicate evidence of over heating.5. Before returning a serviced receiver to the customer, theservice technician must thoroughly test the unit to be certainthat it is completely safe to operate without danger of electricalshock, and be sure that no protective device built into thereceiver by the manufacturer has become defective, orinadvertently defeated during servicing.Therefore, the following checks should be performed for thecontinued protection of the customer and service technician.Leakage Current Cold CheckWith the AC plug removed from the 120V AC 60Hz source,place a jumper across Line 1 and Line 2 of the three plugprongs, do not connect with the third prong, which is physicalground.Using an insulation tester (DC500V), connect one of its leadsto the AC plug jumper and touch with the other lead eachexposed metal part (antennas, screwheads, metal overlays,control shafts, etc.), particularly any exposed metal parthaving a return path to the chassis should have a resistorreading over 4M. Any resistance value below this rangeindicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. Anexposed metal part not having a return path to the chassis willindicate an open circuit.SAFETY PRECAUTIONSLeakage Current Hot CheckAC LEAKAGE TESTANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINEDABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF APOTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARDAND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THERECEIVER TO THE CUSTOMER.LEAKAGECURRENTTESTER(READINGSHOULD NOTBE ABOVE 0.5MIU)EARTHGROUNDTEST ALLEXPOSEDMETAL SURFACESDEVICEUNDERTEST3-WIRE CORDALSO TEST WITH PLUGREVERSED(USING AC ADAPTERPLUS AS REQUIRED)TABLE OF CONTENTSPlug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC outlet.

These areoften not evident from visual inspection nor can the protectionafforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacementcomponents rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacementparts which have these special safety characteristics areidentified in this Service Manual.Electrical components having such features are identified with a mark in the schematics and parts list in this Service Manual.The use of a substitute replacement component which does nothave the same safety characteristics as the HITACHI-recommended replacement component, shown in the parts list inthis Service Manual, may create shock, fire, X-radiation, or otherhazards.Product safety is continuously under review and new instructionsare issued from time to time. For the latest information, alwaysconsult the current HITACHI Service Manual. A subscription to,or additional copies of HITACHI Service Manuals may beobtained at a nominal charge from HITACHI Sales Corporation.1. Follow the general caution recommendations from Safetyprecautions section.42HDS69/HDT79/HDX99 - Plasma Monitor Unit55HDS69/HDT79/HDX99 - Plasma Monitor Unit1. Follow the general caution recommendations from Safetyprecautions section.2. Since the Panel module and front filter are made of glass,sufficient care shall be taken when handling the brokenmodule and filter in order to avoid injury.3. If necessary to replace Panel module, this work must bestarted after the panel module and the AC/DC Power supplybecomes sufficiently cool.4. Special care must be taken with the display area to avoiddamaging its surface.5. The Panel Module shall not be touched with bare hands toprotect its surface from stains.6. It is recommended to use clean soft gloves during thereplacing work of the Panel module in order to protect, notonly the display area of the panel module but also theserviceman.7. The Chip Tube of the panel module (located upper left of theback of the panel module) and flexible cables connectingPanel glasses to the drive circuitry Printed Wiring Boards(P.W.B.) are very weak, so sufficient care must be taken toprevent breaking or cutting any of these. If the Chip Tubebreaks the panel module will never work, replacement for anew plasma panel module will be needed.8. AV Digital Block, power supply and PDP driving circuitP.W.B.s are assembled on the rear side of the PDP module,take special care with this fragile circuitry; particularly, FlexiblePrinted Circuits bonded to surrounding edges of the glasspanel. They are not strong enough to withstand harsh outermechanical forces. Avoid touching the flexible printed circuitsby not only your hands, but also tools, chassis, or any otherobject. Extreme bending of the connectors must be avoidedtoo. In case the flexible printed circuits are damaged, thecorresponding addressed portions of the screen will not be litand exchange of a glass panel will be required.PDP Module HandlingWhen there is need to replace a broken PDP module which is thedisplaying device from the Plasma monitor unit, consider thefollowing:1. When carrying the PDP module, two persons should stand atboth shorter-edge sides of the glass-panel and transport it withtheir palms. Avoid touching the Flexible Printed Circuits or thechip tube on the corner of the glass-panel. Handle only by thesurface of the glass panel. In case of some PDP modules,electrode repair is done by connecting between regularterminal with Cu tape and Cu wire. Please do not hook and/ordamage this repair line. If it is damaged, the module will notfunction unless the glass-panel is exchanged with a newglass-panel.2. When carrying PDP module, watch surrounding objects, suchas tables, and also do not carry it alone since it may bedangerous and it will be damaged due to excessive stress tothe module (glass-panel).3. Please do not stand the module with the edge of the glass-panel on the table since this might result in damage to theglass-panel and/or flexible printed circuits due to excessivestress to the module (glass-panel).WARNINGLead in solder used in this product is listed by the CaliforniaHealth and Welfare agency as a known reproductive toxicantwhich may cause birth defects or other reproductive harm(California Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.5).When servicing or handling circuit boards and other componentswhich contain lead in solder, avoid unprotected skin contact withsolder. Also, when soldering make sure you are in a wellventilated area in order to avoid inhalation of any smoke orfumes released.SAFETY NOTICEUSE ISOLATION TRANSFORMERWHEN SERVICINGPOWER SOURCEThis plasma television is designed to operate on 120 Volts60Hz, AC house current.

Use with this instrument only the test fixtures specified inthis service data.CAUTION: Do not connect the test fixture ground strapto any heatsink in this instrument.Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) DevicesSome semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damagedeasily by static electricity. Such components commonly arecalled Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples oftypical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. Thefollowing techniques should be used to help reduce theincidence of component damage caused by static electricity.1. Immediately before handling any semiconductorcomponent or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drainoff any electrostatic charge on your body by touching aknown earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear acommercially available discharging wrist strap device,which should be removed for potential shock reasonsprior to applying power to the unit under test.2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESdevices, place the assembly on a conductive surfacesuch as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic chargebuildup or exposure of the assembly.3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder ordesolder ES devices.4. Use only an anti-static type solder removal device. Somesolder removal devices not classified as anti-static cangenerate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESdevice.5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These cangenerate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESdevices.6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from itsprotective package until immediately before you areready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices arepackaged with leads electrically shorted together byconductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductivematerial.)7. Immediately before removing the protective material fromthe leads of a replacement ES device, touch theprotective material to the chassis or circuit assembly intowhich the device will be installed.CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis orcircuit, and observe all other safetyprecautions.8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackagedreplacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motionsuch as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or thelifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generatestatic electricity sufficient to damage an ES device.)SERVICING PRECAUTIONSTABLE OF CONTENTS4DW2UGeneral Soldering Guidelines1. Use a grounded-tip, low-wattage soldering iron andappropriate tip size and shape that will maintain tiptemperature within the range 500F to 600F.2. Use an appropriate lead free solder (see page 8). Leadsolder can be used, but there is a possibility of failure dueto insufficient strength of the solder.3. Keep the soldering iron tip clean and well-tinned.4. Thoroughly clean the surfaces to be soldered. Use asmall wire-bristle (0.5 inch or 1.25 cm) brush with a metalhandle. Do not use freon-propelled spray-on cleaners. 5. Use the following desoldering technique.a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normaltemperature (500F to 600F).b. Heat the component lead until the solder melts.Quickly draw away the melted solder with an anti-static, suction-type solder removal device or withsolder braid.CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating thecircuit board printed foil.6. Use the following soldering technique.a. Allow the soldering iron tip to reach normaltemperature (500F to 600F).b. First, hold the soldering iron tip and solder strandagainst the component lead until the solder melts.c. Quickly move the soldering iron tip to the junction ofthe component lead and the printed circuit foil, andhold it there only until the solder flows onto andaround both the component lead and the foil.CAUTION: Work quickly to avoid overheating thecircuit board printed foil or components.d. Closely inspect the solder area and remove anyexcess or splashed solder with a small wire-bristlebrush.Removal1. Desolder and straighten each IC lead in one operation bygently prying up on the lead with the soldering iron tip asthe solder melts.2. Draw away the melted solder with an anti-static suction-type solder removal device (or with solder braid) beforeremoving the IC.Replacement1. Carefully insert the replacement IC in the circuit board.2. Carefully bend each IC lead against the circuit foil padand solder it.3. Clean the soldered areas with a small wire-bristle brush.(It is not necessary to reapply acrylic coating to areas.)Small-signal Discrete Transistor Removal/Replacement1. Remove the defective transistor by clipping its leads asclose as possible to the component body.2. Bend into a U shape the end of each of the three leadsremaining on the circuit board.3. Bend into a U shape the replacement transistor leads.4. Connect the replacement transistor leads to thecorresponding leads extending from the circuit board andcrimp the U with long nose pliers to insure metal tometal contact, then solder each connection.Power Output Transistor Devices Removal/Replacements1. Heat and remove all solder from around the transistorleads.2. Remove the heatsink mounting screw (if so equipped).3. Carefully remove the transistor from the circuit board.4. Insert new transistor in circuit board.5. Solder each transistor lead, and clip off excess lead.6. Replace heatsink.Diode Removal/Replacement1. Remove defective diode by clipping its leads as close aspossible to diode body.2. Bend the two remaining leads perpendicularly to thecircuit board.3. Observing diode polarity, wrap each lead of the newdiode around the corresponding lead on the circuit board.4. Securely crimp each connection and solder it.5. Inspect (on the circuit board copper side) the solder jointsof the two original leads. If they are not shiny, reheatthem and, if necessary, apply additional solder.Use Soldering Iron to Pry LeadsIC Removal/ReplacementSome Hitachi unitized chassis circuit boards have slottedholes (oblong) through which the IC leads are inserted andthen bent flat against the circuit foil. When holes are theslotted type, the following technique should be used toremove and replace the IC. When working with boards usingthe familiar round hole, use the standard technique asoutlined in paragraphs 5 and 6 above.5DW2UFuses and Conventional Resistor Removal/Replacement1. Clip each fuse or resistor lead at top of circuit board hollow stake.2. Securely crimp leads of replacement component aroundstake 1/8 inch from top.3. Solder the connections.CAUTION: Maintain original spacing between thereplaced component and adjacentcomponents and the circuit board, toprevent excessive componenttemperatures.Circuit Board Foil RepairExcessive heat applied to the copper foil of any printedcircuit board will weaken the adhesive that bonds the foil tothe circuit board, causing the foil to separate from, or lift-off, the board. The following guidelines and proceduresshould be followed whenever this condition is encountered.In Critical Copper Pattern AreasHigh component/copper pattern density and/or specialvoltage/current characteristics make the spacing andintegrity of copper pattern in some circuit board areas morecritical than in others. The circuit foil in these areas isdesignated as Critical Copper Pattern. Because CriticalCopper Pattern requires special soldering techniques toensure the maintenance of reliability and safety standards,contact your Hitachi personnel.At IC ConnectionsTo repair defective copper pattern at IC connections, use thefollowing procedure to install a jumper wire on the copperpattern side of the circuit board. (Use this technique only onIC connections.)1. Carefully remove the damaged copper pattern with asharp knife. (Remove only as much copper as absolutelynecessary.)2. Carefully scratch away the solder resist and acryliccoating (if used) from the end of the remaining copperpattern.3. Bend a small U in one end of a small-gauge jumper wireand carefully crimp it around the IC pin. Solder the ICconnection.4. Route the jumper wire along the path of the cut-awaycopper pattern and let it overlap the previously scrapedend of the good copper pattern. Solder the overlappedarea, and clip off any excess jumper wire.1. Remove the defective copper pattern with a sharp knife.Remove at least 1/4 inch of copper, to ensure hazardouscondition will not exist if the jumper wire opens.2. Trace along the copper pattern from both wire sides ofthe pattern break and locate the nearest componentdirectly connected to the affected copper pattern.3. Connect insulated 20-gauge jumper wire from thenearest component on one side of the pattern break tothe lead of the nearest component on the other side.Carefully crimp and solder the connections.CAUTION: Be sure the insulated jumper wire isdressed so that it does not touchcomponents or sharp edges.CRIMP ANDSOLDERBARE JUMPERWIREInstall Jumper Wire and SolderDEFECTIVECOPPERREMOVEDInsulated Jumper WireAt Other ConnectionsUse the following technique to repair defective copperpattern at connections other than IC Pins. This techniqueinvolves the installation of a jumper wire on the componentside of the circuit board. 6DW2UMH DIODE RESISTORLeadless Chip Components(surface mount)Chip components must be replaced with identicalchips due to critical foil track spacing. There are noholes in the board to mount standard transistors ordiodes. Some chip capacitor or resistor board solderpads may have holes through the board, however thehole diameter limits standard resistor replacement to1/8 watt. Standard capacitors may also be limited forthe same reason. It is recommended that identicalchip components be used. .Chip resistors have a three digit numerical resistancecode -1st and 2nd significant digits and a multiplier.Example: 162 = 1600 or 1.6K resistor, 0 = 0(jumper).Chip capacitors generally do not have the valueindicated on the capacitor. The color of the componentindicates the general range of the capacitance.Chip transistors are identified by a two letter code. Thefirst letter indicates the type and the second letter, thegrade of transistor.Chip diodes have a two letter identification code asper the code chart and are a dual diode pack witheithercommon anode or common cathode. Check the partslist for correct diode number.Component Removal1. Use solder wick to remove solder from componentend caps or terminals.2. Without pulling up, carefully twist the componentwith tweezers to break the adhesive.3. Do not reuse removed leadless or chipcomponents since they are subject to stressfracture during removal .Chip Component Installation1. Put a small amount of solder on the boardsoldering pads.2. Hold the chip component against the solderingpads with tweezers or with a miniature alligatorclip and apply heat to the pad area with a 30 wattiron until solder flows. Do not apply heat for morethan 3 seconds How to Replace Flat-lCRequired Tools Soldering iron iron wire or small awl De-solder braids Magnifier1. Remove the solder from all of the pins of a Flat-lCby using a de-solder braid. 2. Put the iron wire under the pins of the Flat-lC andpull it in the direction indicated while heating thepins using a soldering iron. A small awl can beused instead of the iron wire.3. Remove the solder from all of the pads of theFiat-lC by using a de-solder braid.4. Position the new Flat-lC in place (apply the pins ofthe Flat-lC to the soldering pads where the pinsneed to be soldered). Properlydetermine the positions of thesoldering pads and pins bycorrectly aligning the polaritysymbol.6. Check with a magnifier for solder bridge betweenthe pins or for dry joint between pins and solderingpads. To remove a solder bridge, use a de-solderbraid as shown in the figure below.NOTE: These components are affixed with glue. Be careful not to break or damage any foil under thecomponent or at the pins of the ICs when removing. Usually applying heat to the component for a shorttime while twisting with tweezers will break the component loose.Chip ComponentsTYPEGRADE CBESOLDERCAPSTRANSISTOR CAPACITOR1ST DIGIT2ND DIGITMULTIPLIER= 1600 = 1.6KANODESSOLDER CAPSCOMMON CATHODEDe-SolderBraidSolderingIronSolderingIronSolderingIronSolderingIronSolderingIronSolderingIronDe-SolderBraidFlat-ICSolderBridgeSolderDe-SolderBraidIronWirePullAwlPolarity Symbol5.
