[TV] Re: Mitsubishi CS-27303 Stereo TV

Steve,
I have straight jumped a number of those in the past, and have not seen
any problems.
I have heard a 1uF cap of any voltage (50v is fine)
The value is not critical. I have never heard the pin 3 to 4 thing
before, so I guess that is not needed.
What you have is fine, and I would not mess with it. Just wait for the
caps on the signal board to dry up and toss it!

Keep it in the light,

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
