1.2. ABOUTLEADFREE SOLDER(PbF)

Distinction of PbF PCB:

PCBs (manufactured) using leadfree solderwill have a PbF stamp on the PCB.

Caution:

-Pbfree solderhas ahighermelting pointthanstandard solder,

Typicallythemelting pointis50-70°F(30-40°C) higher. Please use

ahigh temperaturesoldering iron. Incase ofsoldering iron with

temperaturecontrol,please set itto700±20°F(370±10°C)

-Pbfree solderwill tend tosplashwhenheatedtoo high (about

1100°F/600°C).

Whensoldering orunsoldering, please completelyremove all of the solderon the pins orsolder

area, and be sure to heatthe soldering points with the Pbfree solderuntil itmelts enough.

2. GENERALDESCRIPTIONS

2.1. SERVICE CAUTION-1

Whenthe MicroprocessorIC6001 and/orBack-up batteryB7751 are replaced, readthe following

procedure carefullyand proceedit.

[REASONS]

There is a RAMinthe IC6001, whichis backing up:

1. ProgrammeNavigation Data [See NOTE1]

2. TV Tuning Data

3. PG ShifterAdjustmentData

4. Option Setting Data

WhenIC6001 are replaced, all above listeddata become not available.

These data is backedup byusing the powersource of:

*AC Connected: AC Powersource

*AC Disconnected: Back-up Battery(B7751)& Back-up Capacitor(C7752)

[NOTE1]

As foryourreference, without inserting a tape into a VCR, you canconfirmthatthe NAVI data

thatis back up with IC6001 as showninthe following steps.

1. Indicate the"NAVI"markon theFrontInformation Panel. (Press

theMenu button and select theoption, thenset the"NAVI"toON

mode.)

2. Turn on theService Modeand press the"NAVI"button on the

Remote Controllerinmorethan5seconds. The"NAVI"data list is

displayedon theMonitor. (Press the"MENU"button on the

Remote Controllerfor cancellation.)

Although storedNAVI data canbe confirmedon the monitor, there is no wayto transferthe

NAVI data to IC6001whichis newlymounted.

2.1.1. REPLACINGPROCEDURE[IC6001]

[1.PREPARATION]

Before replacing IC6001:

1. Take note that storedTV broadcast channels. (Because, its user

maystoreTV broadcasts bymanuallyotherthan"AutoTuning"

operation and itisalsoerased.)

NOTE:

During servicing, do not make a shortcircuitbetweenIC6001-pin37 (5V)with otherline/

Components otherwise IC6001 maybe broken.

CAUTION:

*Whenreplacing theB7751, besuretoread/followthe"HOWTO

REPLACE THE LITHIUM BATTERY"section.

[2.REPLACINGPROCEDUREIN STEPS]

STEP1.PREPARATION

1. Disconnect theACplug beforeremoving theC.B.A. with

Mechanismunitbyreferring totheDisassemblyprocedure.

STEP2.REPLACETHEIC6001

1. Replace theIC6001. (Donotmake ashortcircuitbetweenIC6001-

pin37 and otherpins/ components.)

STEP3.RESETTHEIC6001 ATONCE

1. Connect theACplug.

2. Connect ajumperwirebetweenTL7510 (RESET)and TL7509

(GND) for asecond toreset theMicroprocessor IC6001.

Note:

Since the resistance atpin2 as well as pin3 of IC6001 decides the model distinction data, there

is no needto setup the Model code, whichis necessaryinthe previous models.

STEP4.LINE-IN SETTING& ACTIVATEPLUG-IN A.T.P.

(FOR OTHER THAN NV-MV20GL)

1. Press theChannel up and downkeyssimultaneouslyfor more

than3seconds, underthecondition oftheno tapeisintheunit.

2. Confirm that "AV"canbedisplayedon theFIP bypressing theCH

UP and CH DOWNbuttons.

NOTE:

If"DIRECTREC"on the OPTION setting screenis setto [ON], the input signal is fixedto "AV",

and the Channel up and downkeys are not effective.

3. Disconnect theACplug for fewsecondsand connect itagain,

and press POWERbutton for turning thepowertoon from off to

carryoutthe"Plug inAutoTunerPreset".

4. Since otherthanthechannelsthat canbestoredby"Auto

Tuning" operation arenotavailableyet, preset manuallyby

consulting thenote ofits availableTV channelsofwhichyou took

before.

NOTE:

The Factoryshipping condition of OSD setting is not restoredbyabove operation.

5. ChangetheOSDsetting totheFactoryshipping condition if

necessary, byreferring toOption Setting on theOperating

Instructionsas showninthefollowing chart.

STEP5.COMPATIBILITYADJUSTMENT

Referto the Electrical Adjustment Procedures.

2.3. HOWTO REPLACE THE LITHIUM BATTERY

2.3.1. GENERALDESCRIPTION

There is a RAMinthe IC6001, whichis backing up the following data byusing the powersource

of B7751 (Back-up Battery)and C7752 (Back-up Capacitor:Back-up time is approximately30

minutes).

1. ProgrammeNavigation Data

2. TV Tuning Data

3. PG ShifterAdjustmentData

4. Option Setting Data

2.3.2. REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

NOTE:

This work shouldbe finishedwithin30 minutes sothatthe RAMdata wouldnot be lostas

running out of current from the Back-up CapacitorC7752.

1. RemovetheTop Panel and MechanismunitwithMainC.B.Aby

referring totheDisassembling Procedure.

2. UnsoldertheLithium Battery:B7751 and thenreplace itwitha

newone(See Fig. B1 ).

Fig. B1
