[TV] Mitsubishi CS-27303 Stereo TV

["Steve J Bellis" <Steveradramt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am a licensed radiotelephone (FFC General Class) Tech, my normal work is in Aviation but I have repaired a few TV's and have done extensive electronics hobby work.  I have just installed 2 - 20uf / 50VDC caps across the VP connectors pins 5 - 7 and 9 - 11 bypassing the PIP module.  The set  is 10 years old and it does work again, it had developed the rolling scrambled looking failure common to the pip module, picture looks good again.  

Anyway, one other tech told me the mit bypass used 47uf caps for both jumpers, but several other posts I found indicated mit recommending using 2ea 22uf, the 20uf caps I had on hand at home seem to work fine.  Also I was told pins 3 - 4 should have a straight jumper across them, can you help me to know why or if this will cause a problem?

Also if possible do you know if the caps are of critical value, it seems apparently they are not?

Any advice appreciated, Thanks

Steve
