Sharp CTV - 25N-M100/180, 25N-S100/180, CN25M10, CN25S18, CN25S20 – SN91 Chassis – how to enter the service mode, adjustment procedure in detail, default data values


Sharp 25NM100, Sharp 25NS100 - service mode adjustments, schematic (full)
When performing any adjustments to resistor controls and transformers use non-metallic screwdrivers or TV alignment tools.   Before performing adjustments, the TV set must be on at least 15 minutes.
Circuit protection
The receiver is protected by a 4.0A fuse (F701), mounted on PWB-A, wired into one side of the AC line input.
After service has been performed on the horizontal deflection system, high voltage system, B+ system, test the X-Radiation protection circuit to ascertain proper operation as follows:
Apply 120V AC using a variac transformer for accurate input voltage.
2. Allow for warm up and adjust all customer controls for normal picture and sound.
3. Receive a good local channel.
4. Connect a digital voltmeter to TP653 and make sure that the voltmeter reads 11.2 ±0.6V.
5. Apply external 13.8V DC at TP653 by using an external DC supply, TV must shut off.
6. To reset the protector, unplug the AC cord and make a short circuit between TP651 and TP652. Now make sure that normal picture appears on the screen.
7. If the operation of the horizontal oscillator does not stop in step 5, the circuit must be repaired before the set is returned to the customer.
High voltage is not adjustable but must be checked to verify that the receiver is operating within safe and efficient design limitations as specified checks should be as follows:
Connect an accurate high voltage meter between ground and anode of picture tube.
2. Operate receiver for at least 15 minutes at 120V AC line voltage, with a strong air signal or a properly tuned in test signal.
3. Enter the service mode and select the service adjustment "S19" and Bus data "01" (Y-mute on).
4. The voltage should be approximately, 28.7kV (at zero beam).
If a correct reading cannot be obtained, check circuitry for malfunctioning components. After the voltage test, make Y-mute off to the normal mode.
For adjustments of this model, the bus data is converted to various analog signals by the D/A converter circuit.
[There are still a few analog adjustments in this series such as focus and master screen voltage.  Follow the steps below whenever the service adjustment is required. See "Table-B" to determine, if service adjustments are required.]
Service mode
Before putting unit into the service mode, check that customer adjustments are in the normal mode. Use the reset function in the video adjustment menu to ensure customer controls are in their proper (reset) position.
To enter the service mode and exit service mode.
While pressing the Vol-up and Ch-up buttons at the sametime, plug the AC cord into a wall socket.
Now the TV set is switched on and enters the service mode.
To exit the service mode, turn the television off by pressing the power button.
Service number selection
Once in the service mode, press the Ch-up or Chdown button on the remote controller or at the set.
The service adjustment number will vary in increments of one, from "S01" to "OP2" (25N-M100/ 180, CN25M10), "S01" to "M05"(25N-S100/180, CN25S18/20).
