SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the lamp flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER lamp flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.

1. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICA TORS

When an errors occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.

Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the screen displays a “0”.

4. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY

For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurances of failure for confirmation on the screen:

[T o Bring Up Screen Test]

In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:

[Screendisplay] / channel [5] / Sound volume [-] / Power ON

Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+]).

SELF DIAGNOSTIC

002 : 000 003 : 000 004 : 000 005 : 001

101 : 000

Numeral "0" means that no fault has been detected.

Numeral "1" means a fault has been detected.

5. HANDLING OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY

Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen during repairs. When you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.

Unless the result display is cleared to “0”, the self-diagnostic function will not be able to detect subsequent faults after completion of the repairs.

[Clearing the result display]

To clear the result display to “0”, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially as shown below when the diagnostic screen is being displayed.

Channel [8] / 0

[Quitting Self-diagnostic screen]

To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.

• If you connect a VCR to the antenna terminal, preset the signal output from the VCR to the program number 0 on the TV.

• If both S VIDEO input and VIDEO IN 1 input at the rear of your TV are used at the same time, the S VIDEO input is automatically selected. To view VIDEO IN 1 input, disconnect the S video cable.

• When no signal is input to the connected video equipment, the TV screen becomes blue.

Step 2

Insert the batteries into the remote

Note

• Do not use old batteries nor use different types of batteries together.

Step 3

Preset the channels automatically

Tips

• If you want to stop the automatic channel presetting, press MENU twice.

• If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 9).

• The AUTO PROGRAM button on the remote works as the AUTO PROGRAM button on the TV.
