with all cautions and safety-related noteslocated on or inside the
cover case and on the chassis or plasmamodule.WARNING: Since the
chassis of this receiver is connected toone side of the AC power
supply during operation, whenever thereceiver is plugged in service
should not be attempted by any-one unfamiliar with the precautions
necessary when working onthis type of receiver.1. 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

SAFETY NOTICEMany electrical and mechanical parts in HITACHI
televisionreceivers have special safety-related characteristics.
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

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

capacitor in the instrument.CAUTION: A wrong part substitution or
incorrectpolarity installation of electrolyticcapacitors may result
in an explosionhazard.2. Do not spray chemicals on or near this
instrument or anyof its assemblies.3. Unless specified otherwise in
these service data, cleanelectrical contacts by applying the
following mixture to thecontacts with a pipe cleaner, cotton-tipped
stick orcomparable nonabrasive applicator: 10% (by volume)Acetone
and 90% (by volume) isopropyl alcohol (90%-99% strength). CAUTION:
This is a flammable mixture. Unlessspecified otherwise in these
service data,lubrication of contacts is not required.4. Do not
defeat any plug/socket of voltage interlocks withwhich instruments
covered by this service data might beequipped.5. Do not apply AC
power to this instrument and/or any of itselectrical assemblies
unless all solid-state device heat-sinks are correctly installed.6.
Always connect the test instrument ground lead to theappropriate
instrument chassis ground before connectingthe test instrument
positive lead. Always remove the testinstrument ground lead last.7.
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

back cover when lifting.ANTENNAUnless your Plasma Television is
connected to a cableTV system or to a centralized antenna system, a
goodoutdoor color TV antenna is recommended for bestperformance.
However, if you are located in anexceptionally good signal area
that is free frominterference and multiple image ghosts, an indoor
antenna may be sufficient.LOCATIONSelect an area where sunlight or
bright indoorillumination will not fall directly on the picture
screen.Also, be sure that the location selected allows a freeflow
of air to and from the perforated back cover of theset. In order to
prevent an internal temperatureincrease, maintain a space of 10 cm
(4 inches) from thesides/back of the monitor, and 30 cm (12 inches)
fromthe top of the television to the wall. To avoid cabinetwarping,
cabinet color changes, and increased chanceof set failure, do not
place the TV where temperaturescan become excessively hot, for
example, in directsunlight or near a heating appliance, etc.CONNECT

sitting directly in front ofthe TV and about 10 to 18 feet from the
screen. During daylight hours, reflections from outside lightmay
appear on the screen. If so, drapes or screenscan be used to reduce
the reflection or the TV canbe located in a different section of
the room.If the TVs audio output will be connected to a
Hi-Fisystems external speakers, the best audioperformance will be
obtained by placing thespeakers equidistant from each side of the
receivercabinet and as close as possible to the height ofthe
picture screen center. For best stereoseparation, place the
external speakers at leastfour feet from the side of the TV, place
the surroundspeakers to the side or behind the viewing
area.Differences in room sizes and acousticalenvironments will
require some experimentationwith speaker placement for best
performance.ANTENNA CONNECTIONS TO REAR JACKPANELVHF (75-Ohm)
