JVC iArt AV-14F704 CRT RGB mod

This tutorial covers the RGB mod for JVC AV-14F704. Please follow the Toshiba 14AF43 RGB mod for any missing details. This JVC iArt series and Toshiba AF series internals (Orion tube/main board) are more or less the same.

CRT Safety

Caution

You can die doing this! So read carefully! CRT TV is not a toy. Do not open a CRT TV. If you don't have any prior knowledge about handling high voltage devices, this guide is not for you. CRT TV contains high enough voltage (20,000+ V) and current to be deadly, even when it is turned off.

Theory

Sometimes it is nice to know the theory behind the mod. I have put this on a separate page. This shows how the various resistor values are calculated.

Service Manuals

Note: the service manual for this TV doesn't seem to have the schematics.

Schematics

I couldn't find the schematics for this TV. I just followed the Toshiba 14" schematics as they were more or less the same.

Calculating the RGB external resistor value

Love it when we can put theories to use! Formula from our theory page!

img

External resistor value = 0.7 x (4700 + 75) - (75 x 5) / (5 - 0.7) = (3342 - 375) / 4.3 = 690 ohm

This is very close to the grounding resistor value we removed. This should be the case for this particular type of CRTs.

Performing the mod

Please follow the Toshiba 14AF43 RGB mod
