IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICEThis manual was prepared for use only by properly trained audio-visual servicetechnicians.

When servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original designbe modified or altered without permission from Zenith Electronics Corporation.All components should be replaced only with types identical to those in theoriginal circuit and their physical location, wiring and lead dress must conformto original layout upon completion of repairs.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify this product in any way. Never perform customized installations without manufacturer’sapproval.Unauthorized modifications will not only void the warranty, but maylead to property damage or user injury.

Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar withthese safety checks and servicing guidelines.

GRAPHIC SYMBOLSThe exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended toalert the service personnel to important safety information in theservice literature.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateraltriangle is intended to alert the service personnel to the presenceof noninsulated “dangerous voltage” that may be of sufficientmagnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The pictorial representation of a fuse and its rating within anequilateral triangle is intended to convey to the service personnelthe following fuse replacement caution notice:CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISKOF FIRE, REPLACE ALL FUSES WITH THE SAME TYPE ANDRATING AS MARKED NEAR EACH FUSE.

SERVICE INFORMATIONWhile servicing, use an isolation transformer for protection from AC line shock.After the original service problem has been corrected, make a check of thefollowing:

FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD1. Be sure that all components are positioned to avoid a possibility of adjacent

component shorts. This is especially important on items transported to andfrom the repair shop.

2. Verify that all protective devices such as insulators, barriers, covers, shields,strain reliefs, power supply cords, and other hardware have been reinstalledper the original design. Be sure that the safety purpose of the polarized lineplug has not been defeated.

3. Soldering must be inspected to discover possible cold solder joints, soldersplashes, or sharp solder points. Be certain to remove all loose foreign particles.

4. Check for physical evidence of damage or deterioration to parts andcomponents, for frayed leads or damaged insulation (including the AC cord),and replace if necessary.

5. No lead or component should touch a receiving tube or a resistor rated at 1watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces must be avoided.

6. After reassembly of the set, always perform an AC leakage test on allexposed metallic parts of the cabinet (the channel selector knobs, antennaterminals, handle and screws) to be sure that set is safe to operate withoutdanger of electrical shock. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATIONTRANSFORMER DURING THIS TEST. Use an AC voltmeter having 5000ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner: Connect a 1500ohm, 10 watt resistor, paralleled by a .15 mfd 150V AC type capacitorbetween a known good earth ground water pipe, conduit, etc.) and theexposed metallic parts, one at a time.Measure the AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohm resistor and.15 mfd capacitor. Reverse the AC plug by using a non-polarized adaptorand repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part.Voltage measured must not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. This corresponds to 0.5milliamp AC. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shockhazard and must be corrected immediately.

TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION1. Never install any receiver in a closed-in recess, cubbyhole, or closely fitting

shelf space over, or close to, a heat duct, or in the path of heated air flow.2. Avoid conditions of high humidity such as: outdoor patio installations where

dew is a factor, near steam radiators where steam leakage is a factor, etc.3. Avoid placement where draperies may obstruct venting. The customer

should also avoid the use of decorative scarves or other coverings that mightobstruct ventilation.

4. Wall- and shelf-mounted installations using a commercial mounting kit mustfollow the factory-approved mounting instructions. A product mounted to ashelf or platform must retain its original feet (or the equivalent thickness inspacers) to provide adequate air flow across the bottom. Bolts or screwsused for fasteners must not touch any parts or wiring. Perform leakage testson customized installations.

5. Caution customers against mounting a product on a sloping shelf or in a tiltedposition, unless the receiver is properly secured.

6. A product on a roll-about cart should be stable in its mounting to the cart.Caution the customer on the hazards of trying to roll a cart with small castersacross thresholds or deep pile carpets.

7. Caution customers against using a cart or stand that has not been listed byUnderwriters Laboratories, Inc. for use with its specific model of televisionreceiver or generically approved for use with TVs of the same or larger screensize.

8. Caution customers against using extension cords. Explain that a forest ofextensions, sprouting from a single outlet, can lead to disastrousconsequences to home and family.

1. Application ObjectThese instructions are applied to all of the PDP monitor, RF-03GB.

2. Notes(1) Because this is not a hot chassis, it is not necessary to use

an isolation transformer. However, the use of isolationtransformer will help protect test instrument.

(2) Adjustment must be done in the correct order.(3) The adjustment must be performed in the circumstance of

25±5°C of temperature and 65±10% of relative humidity ifthere is no specific designation.

(4) The input voltage of the receiver must keep 100~240V,50/60Hz during adjustment.

(5) The receiver must be operated for about 15 minutes priorto the adjustment.

1) After receiving 100% white pattern (06CH), the receivermust be operate prior to adjustment. (Or white conditionin HEAT-RUN mode)

2) Enter into HEAT-RUN mode - Press the POWER ON KEY on R/C for adjustment.- OSD display HEAT-RUN WHITE and screen display

100% full WHITE PATTERN.

[ Set is activated HEAT-RUN without signal generator inthis mode.

[ Single color pattern of HEAT-RUN mode uses to checkPANEL. (RED/BLUE/GREEN)

[Caution] If you turn on a still screen more than 20 minutes(Especially Digital pattern(13 CH), Cross HatchPattern), a afterimage may be occur in the black levelpart of the screen.

3. RGB Auto Cut-Off & MIN Bias MAX Bias Adjustment

(1) Input Full White (255 Gray) signal which generated fromStandard Equipment into RGB1 Input part.

(2) Press POWER ON KEY on the servic R/C for adjustment and selectAuto Cut-Off.

(3) Press Vol. + key and operate TO SET.(4) Original Full White screen will be seen about 3~5

seconds later. And if there is a display of OK OSD, then theAuto Cut-off, MIN Bias and MAX Bias adjustment will becompleted.

(5) After adjustment, press Y key to save adjustment andcome out of exit the adjustment mode.

O You can check whether circuit adjustment is operated well ornot, as below.(1) Display RGB1 to the Main picture, CVBS to the Sub

picture in the TWIN PICTURE. (2) To check the MIN-Bias, input Full Black (0 gray) signal into

CVBS and RGB1 input port at the same time from the PatternGenerator.

(3) To check the MAX-Bias, input Full White (255 gray) signalinto CVBS and RGB1 input port at the same time from thePattern Generator.

(4) Compare Black Level with White Level by eye. And ifthere is no Level difference, the adjustment is completedwell.

O Data value, which adjusted in the board, is valid until the VSCBoard is dissued and must be protected. For the protection ofdata, Micom does not permit any more adjustment aftercompletion.

O If the price which is adjusted does unavoidably and the casemust become the re-adjustment the method which it doesagain with lower part is same.

- After pressing the InStart Key on the Remote Control ofadjustment, the InStop Key on the Remote Control ofadjustment it confirms that the adjustment mode OSDfloats from the condition which presses the MENU buttonon the Local Key and when adjustment li it presses,becomes the Power off and it becomes initially anger. Andafter the Power on it re-is adjusted again.

Each PCB Assy must be checked by Check JIG Set beforeassembly. (Especially, be careful Power PCB Assy which cancause fatal Damage to PDP Module.)

6 Plasma Display Panel

Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At thatinstant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat Display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of visionYour flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display isclear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.

Wide ScreenThe screen of the Plasma Display is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater.

MultimediaConnect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picturefeature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

VersatileThe light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs wouldnot fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screenThe PDP (Plasma Display Panel) which is the display device of this product is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few celldefects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several minute colored dots visible on the screen should be accept-able. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products and the tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defective.Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology is designedto minimize cell defects during the manufacture and operation of this product.

Cooling Fan NoiseIn the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Processing Unit) cool, the PDP is equipped withcooling fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability. Therefore, a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are operat-ing and cooling the PDP.The fan noise doesn't have any negative effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability. The noise from these fans is normal during theoperation of this product. We hope you understand that a certain level of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is not suffi-cient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned.

Maintenance & Specification

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water anda little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe thescreen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn on your Monitor.

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.

If you expect to leave your Monitor dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea tounplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
