REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

LG CF20 LG CF21 Service mode – option adjustment – circuit diagram – Troubleshooting table - Hotel Mode - CRT TV

Used ICs and FBT: TDA2006 – LA4282 – TDA8842 or TDA8841 – TDA8351 – STR-F6654 – TDA6107Q – TDA7429S – SAA5281 – MSP3410D – [FBT Part number 6174Z-8005E – FBT-FTSPN13-T8005E] - LG CF-20/21S42EH  LG CF-20/21S12EH
RF AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Adjustment
Test Point : AGC TP (J29)
Adjust : Remote Control
The RF AGC was aligned at the time of manufacture for optimum performance over a wide range conditions.  Readjustment of RF AGC should not be necessary unless unusual local conditions exist, such as:
1) Channel interference in a CATV system.
2) Picture bending and/or color beats, which are unusually due to excessive RF signal input when the receiver is too close to a transmitting tower or when the receiver is connected to an antenna distribution system where the RF signal has been amplified. In this case, the input signal should be attenuated (with pad or filter) to a satisfactory level.
3) Picture noise caused by "broadcast noise" or weak signal.  If the broadcast is "clean" and the RF signal is at least 1mV (60dBu), the picture will be noise free in any area.
Adjusting RF AGC to one end of rotation will usually cause a relatively poor signal to noise ratio;
Adjusting to the other end of rotation will usually cause a degradation of over load capabilities resulting in color beats or adjacent channel interference.
Adjustment
1. Connect RF signal (65dB!1dB) and turn on the TV.
2.
Press OK buttons on TV set and Remote Controller at the same time to get into SVC (Service) mode.
3. Press Channel UP/DOWN button on the Remote Controller several times to find AGC.
4. Press Volume UP/DOWN button until the AGC Voltage is the same as the Table below.
5. Press OK button to memorize the data.
HOTEL TV Mode
NOTE: This mode is useful for HOTEL TV MODEL. Dealer or HOTEL manager can use this option.
AFTER SELECTING HOTEL MODE, CAN NOT CHANGE INITIAL SET UP CONDITION.
- CHANNEL PROGRAM(AUTO PROGRAM, MANUAL PROGRAM, EDIT FUNCTION) and OSD LANGUAGE set up condition is fixed so the HOTEL lodger cannot change and remove initial set up data condition at his pleasure.
This function prevents HOTEL lodger from needless changing channel memory data and OSD language condition.
It will be helpful for maintaining the best suitable condition of TV SET.
Limit MAX. VOLUME LEVEL.
- The HOTEL lodger can only use limited range of volume level because loud TV sound can disturb other lodger's private business.
The HOTEL manager select maximum volume level proper for HOTEL.
Only Audio without Video source available through A/V input
- When the Audio signal is fed to A/V input jack, the Audio is available without Video.
In the previously existing Model, sound is muted if there is no Video signal.
HOTEL mode operating guide

2) SET UP Proper max volume level in SVC Mode.
3) SET UP HOTEL option in SVC Mode (OPTION-2)
OPTION Adjustment (SVC MODE:OPTION-1, OPTION-2)
NOTE: When the EEPROM has been replaced, the Option data should be restored as the function of individual system and specification.
