Assemble a HiQ guitar amplifier - circuit diagram – using 6L6 and 12AX7 vacuum tubes


RCA’s first version of this tube was an early octal base tube. Like most with this base it had a metal, rather than glass, envelope. Later versions, including the 6L6G, 6L6GA, 6L6GB, 5881, 5932, 7027, and the final version 6L6GC had glass envelopes, which made radiation cooling of the anode easier.  5881 is next to the 6L6GB. 
The 5881 should be ok with the plate voltages found in most guitar amplifiers designed for the 6L6GC but this is not guaranteed so you do risk blowing your 5881s if you put them in an amp designed for the 6L6GC.
The valve 5581 can be replaced with 6L6 and the substitution for 12AX7 is ECC83
Valves don’t usually ‘fail’; they just get weaker and weaker. The actual age of the tube is not important. It’s how much it has been played. If you play your amp regularly and it’s been a year or more since you had a valve change, it’s almost certainly time to treat yourself to a new set of valves. 
Don’t forget to buy  “matched output pair” valves. This is really important. The matched valves have been carefully selected to be a close match both in gain and bias current. If you’re going to change amp valves always choose ‘matched quads’ if you have four output tubes or ‘matched pairs’ if you only have two.
If your guitar valve amplifier is not sounding quite so good as the day you bought it, change amp valves to restore that beautiful sweet tone.  If it’s sounding a bit flat, thin and lacking in oomph, change amp valves on a regular basis if you want to keep your amp sounding its very best.
If you notice a loss in bottom-end and power, it’s most likely your power valves need replacing.  If you’re getting strange sounds coming from your amplifier, first turn your gain section up, and slowly turn the master volume down. 
If the noises continue after the master volume has been turned down, it’s most likely a power valve. If you turn the master volume down, and the noises disappear, it’s most likely a pre-amp valve.
 If you want to change amp valves always recommend changing the whole set while you are at. It only costs a little more and you know that everything is as it should be.

Samsung CS29A5HT8X/BWT - E2PROM (IC902) Replacement, service mode, memory data, white balance adjustment

Samsung CS29A5HT8X, CS29A5HT8X/NWT, CS29A5HT8X/VWT, CZ21A8VW8X/ELS
When IC902 is replaced, all adjustment data revert to the initial values.  So, all adjustment values when servicing should be readjusted.
 After IC902 is replaced, connect the AC power supply cord.
 Turn the power switch ON.
 In stand-by, warm up the TV for at least 10 seconds.
 Power on the TV.
White Balance Adjustment
Select STANDARD from the menu.
2. Input an 100% White pattern.
3. Enter the “Service Mode”. (Refer to “4-8 Service Mode”)
4. Warm up the TV set at least for 30 minutes.
5. Input a Toshiba pattern signal.
6. Enter the “Video Adjust1”.
* Adjust “Sub Contrast” so that Y (luminance) becomes 40 ft ± 3.
* Use “Red Drive” and “ Blue Drive” to adjust High-Light (x : 290, y : 300)
* Adjust “Sub Bright” so that Y (luminance) becomes 1.3ft ± 0.3.
* Use “Red Cutoff” and “Blue Cutoff” to adjust Low-Light (x : 290, y : 300).
7. Adjust CA-100 so that the final adjustment value can be fixed.
8. Use the Channel Up/Down (▲/▼) buttons to move the cursor on the adjustment modes.
9. Use the Volume +/- buttons to change the adjustment value.
Service Mode
To enter the “Service Mode”, Press the remote-control keys in this sequence:
If you do not have Factory remote-control:
Use the Channel Up/Down buttons to move the cursor in the adjustment parameters.
* When CRT, CRT PCB, FBT, E2PROM (sometimes MICOM) is replaced, the adjustment values should be controlled.
* After the Service adjustment is completed, Do not select “Reset” in the service mode menu.
(After above procedure is done, power is on initially and the “Plug and Play” will be operated.)
Memory Data:  (A) DEFLECTION (GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT VALUE)

4.If the CD is correct ,it will display the Upgrade Menu ,press the PLAY key on the remote control to start upgrade
5. Afer a while, the tray will open automatically ,but must not power off the player.
6.Don't power off ,wait until the player reset automatically ,the whole upgrade process may need 2 minutes .HTS will auto standby after complete upgrade.
if you upgrade with USB device
1. Step1 is same with DISC upgrade;
2.Copy the renamed bin file(upgrade file) to the root menu of USB device.
3.connect the USB device to HTS ,and switch to USB source;
4.The rest is same to step 4,step 5 and step 6 with DISC upgrade.
 [The set must not be power off during upgrading; Otherwise the Main board will be damaged entirely.]
