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 l amp
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 INDICATORS
When an error 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.
Results for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a "0".

3. STOPPING THE STANDBY/TIMER FLASH
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER lamp from flashing.
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 occurrences of failure for confirmation on the screen:
[To Bring Up Screen Test]
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:

Numeral "0" means that no fault has been detected.
3:N/A0
4:0
5:1 <-------------
Numeral "1" means a fault has been detected one time only.
101:N/A0
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.

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

+B overcurrent (OCP)Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B(115V) line is detected by pin 18 of IC301. If the
voltage to pin 18 of IC301 is less than 1V when V.SYNC is more than seven verticals
in a period, the unit will automatically turn off.
Vertical deflection stoppedOccurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by pin 17 of IC001.
Power supply will shut down when waveform interval exceeds 2 seconds.
White balance failureIf the RGB levels* do not balance within 2 seconds after the power is turned on, this
error will be detected by IC301. TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
KV-29AL40/KV-29AL40A/KV-29AL40C
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorlysoldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched”
or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and
mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that
you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the
customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of
deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend
their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make
sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV
meter if sets always havE low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized" knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC Leakage. Check
leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and
from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return
to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampere). Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these
instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data PrecisioN 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The "limit" indication is 0.75
V, so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. The
Simpson's 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of passive
VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital
multimeters that hav e a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate
retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground. If
the retaining screw is to be used as your earth-ground, verify that it
is at ground by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-water
pipe with an ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms. If a coldwater pipe is not accessible, connect a 60-l00 watts trouble light
(not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the
retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side of
the line, the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw is at
ground potential. (See Fig. B)

HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP
11
1 Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the surface
11
of the anode-cap.
22
2 Do not squeeze the rubber covering too hard to avoid damaging the
22
anode-cap. A material fitting called a shatter-hook terminal is built
into the rubber.

3 Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause the
33
shatter-hook terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.
