Disconnect AC power before servicing.TO EXPOSEDMETAL PARTSCONNECT TOKNOWN EARTHGROUND Use an AC voltmeter having with 5000 ohm per volt, orhigher, sensitivity or measure the AC voltage dropacross the resistor. Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metalparts having a return to the chassis (antenna, metalcabinet,screwheads,knobsandcontrolshafts,escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage dropacross the resistor.All checks must be repeated with the AC cord plugconnection reversed. (If necessary, a nonpolarizedadaptor plug must be used only for the purpose ofcompleting these checks.)Any reading of 0.75V peak (this corresponds to 0.5mA. peak AC.) or more is excessive and indicates apotential shock hazard which must be corrected beforereturning the monitor to the owner.BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER(Fire & Shock Hazard)Before returning the receiver to the user, performthe following safety checks:1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads arenot pinched, and check that hardware is not lodgedbetween the chassis and other metal parts in thereceiver.2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metalliccontrol knobs, insulation materials, cabinet backs,adjustmentandcompartmentcoversorshields,isolationresistor-capacitornetworks,mechanicalinsulators, etc.3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check forleakage current in the following manner. Plug the AC cord directly into a 110~240 volt AC outlet,and connect the DC power cable into the receiver'sDC jack. (Do not use an isolation transformer for thistest).

The LF symbol indicates lead-free solder, and is attached on the PWBs and service manuals. The alphabetical character following LF shows the type of lead-free solder.Example:2 Using lead-free wire solderWhen xing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with conventional lead wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks.As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40C, we recommend you to use a dedicated soldering bit, if you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free wire solder or soldering bit, contact our service station or service branch in your area.3 SolderingAs the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is about 220C which is higher than the conventional lead solder by 40C, and as it has poor solder wettability, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the PWB for extended period of time. However, Since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance temperature of parts may be exceeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you conrm the steady soldering condition.Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corroded. Make sure to turn on and off the power of the bit as required.If a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder. Clean the bit after every use of it.When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, le it with steel wool or ne sandpaper.Be careful when replacing parts with polarity indication on the PWB silk.Lead-free wire solder for servicing.e:Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.L F aIndicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and nickel.L F nSn-Ag-Ni6 LC-26GA5E LC-32GA5ELC-32/37GD8E/RU

Shouldthe fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or ASA and of the same ratingas above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off themains plug and fit an appropriate type.DANGER:The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed ofin a safe manner.Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a seriouselectric shock may occur.To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:IMPORTANT:The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:Blue: NeutralBrown: LiveAs the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markingsidentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.DIMENSIONS11 LC-26GA5E LC-32GA5ELC-32GD8E/RU LC-32BT8E/RULC-37GD8E/RULC-37BT8E/RULC-32/37GD8E/RU LC-32/37BT8E/RU9LC-32/37GD8E/RULC-32/37BT8E/RUREMOVING OF MAJOR PARTS1.

Lamp error detection9.1. For 37 LCD TV9.1.1. Functional descriptionThis LCD colour television has a function (lamp error detection) to be turned OFF automatically for safety when thelamp or lamp circuit is abnormal.If the lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal, or some other errors happen, and the lamp error detection is executed, thefollowing occur.1- The main unit of television is turned OFF 5 seconds after it is turned ON. (The power LED on the front side of TVturns from green to red.)2 - If the situation 1 happens 5 times sequentially, television can not be turned ON. (The power LED remains red.)9.1.2. CountermeasuresWhen television is turned OFF by the lamp error detection mentioned above, it enters the adjustment process withthe power LED red. Entering the adjustment process turns OFF the error detection and turns ON TV. This enables the operation check to detect errors in the lamp or lamp circuit.Check whether L ERROR RESET on point 7, page 10/11 of the adjustment process is 1 or more. If it is 1 or more, it indicates the lamp error detection was executed. After conrming that the lamp or lamp circuit is normal,reset the lamp error counter pushing OK in the R/C. After resetting counter the label***OK***appears on Screen.9.1.3. Resetstandbycause error listAfter conrming that the lamp error counter has been erased, select STAND BY CAUSE RESET on point 3, page 10/11 of the adjustment process and select ON using the right cursor.

ConnectParallel port I2C interface to LPT port of the computer.b. Connect the 20 to 3 pin cable from the I2C interface to the P2306 socket in the main board (XD603).Before using I2C method is necessary to install Visual I2C software following next procedure.1. Install Visual I2C release V3.2.3b from le (Setup_Visual_I2C_v3-2-3b8h.exe).Its strongly recommended to accept the suggested default folder (C:\Program Files\Micronas\Visual I2C).2. Install Visual I2C VCTp extension from le (Setup_VI2C_for_VCT6wxyP_v0111.exe).Its interesting to change default folder to same as Visual I2C (C:\Program Files\Micronas\Visual I2C).During this installation process is possible to install also a complementary software to manage NVM memories . This installation is not needed, for this reason uncheck the option when the setup program ask to you. In case of installation its interesting to change default folder to same as Visual I2C (C:\Program Files\Micronas\Visual I2C).3. Install Parallel driver depending of your Windows version from existing les inside the Visual I2C installation folder C:\Program Files\Micronas\Visual I2C\Port_Driver, following next criteria:.a. Windows 98/Me (Setup_LptDrv_v0104_9x.exe).b. Windows NT (Setup_LptDrv_v0104_NT_2000.exe).c. Windows Xp/2000 (Setup_LptDrv_v020201_XP_2000.exe).After installing Visual I2C, the new generated le structure should look like this:To PC To P2306I2C Interface (CKIT-0004WJV0) QCNWGA100WJZZ QPWBX0004WJZZ1.31 LC-26GA5E LC-32GA5ELC-32GD8E/RU LC-32BT8E/RULC-37GD8E/RULC-37BT8E/RULC-32/37GD8E/RU LC-32/37BT8E/RU28 LC-26GA5E LC-32GA5E LC-26P55ELC-32P55ELC-37P55E4.
