1. QUICK REFERENCE UPON SERVICE VISIT
Notes when visiting for service
1. Notes when disassembling/reassembling
1 Rear case
When reassembling the rear case, the screws must be tightened in a
specific order. Be careful not to tighten them in the wrong order forcibly.
For details, see "Rear Case" in "6. DISASSEMBLY" on ARP3391.
2 Attaching screws for the HDMI connector
When attaching the HDMI connector after replacing the Main Assy,
secure the HDMI connector manually with a screwdriver, but not
with an electric screwdriver. If you tighten the screws too tightly
with an electric screwdriver, the screw heads may be damaged, in
which case the screws cannot be untightened/tightened any more.
2. On parts replacement
1 How to discharge before replacing the Assys
A charge of significant voltage remains in the Plasma Panel even
after the power is turned off. Safely discharge the panel before
replacement of parts, in either manner indicated below:
A: Let the panel sit at least for 3 minutes after the power is turned off.
B: Turn the Large Signal System off before the power is turned off
then, after 1 minute, turn the power off.
For details, see "10.3 Power ON/OFF Function for the Large-Signal
System" on ARP3391.
2 On the settings after replacement of the Assys
Some boards need settings made after replacement of the Assys.
For details, see "7. ADJUSTMENT" on ARP3391.
3. On various settings
1 SR+
After a repair using a PC, be sure to restore the setting for the
RS-232C connector to SR+.
2 Setting in Factory mode
After a Mask indication into the panel is performed, be sure to
set the Mask setting to "OFF" then exit Factory mode.
