SAFETY-RELATED WARNINGS

USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE LCD PANEL
When repairing the LCD panel, be sure you are grounded by using a wrist band.
When installing the LCD panel on a wall, the LCD panel must be secured using the 4 mounting holes on the rear cover.
1. Do not press on the panel or frame edge to avoid the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects.
3. Do not leave the module in high temperatures or in areas of high humidity for an extended period of time.
4. Do not expose the LCD panel to direct sunlight.
5. Avoid contact with water. It may cause a short circuit within the module.
6. Disconnect the AC power when replacing the backlight or inverter circuit. (High voltage occurs at the inverter circuit at 650Vrms.)
7. Always clean the LCD panel with a soft cloth material.
8. Use care when handling the wires or connectors of the inverter circuit. Damaging the wires may cause a short.
9. Protect the panel from ESD to avoid damaging the electronic circuit (C-MOS).
10. During the repair, DO NOT leave the Power On for more than 1 hour while the TV is face down on a cloth.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY AND FEATURES

SAFETY CHECK-OUT

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 poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or touching 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 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 microamperes). 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 milliampmeter. 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.
4. The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
Figure A. Using an AC voltmeter to check AC leakage.
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is a 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 cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60-to 100-watt 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 on the line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw is at ground potential (see Figure B).

SECTION2-SOFTWAREREQUIREMENTS

OVERVIEW

There are 2 reasons for updating the software on the TVs.
Software updates for customers
These updates are for enhancements or improvements that
have been made to the software after the TV was released.
Software update for servicers
These updates are specically for servicers to use during a
service call.

SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR CUSTOMERS

The subject of software updates is a very important. The televisions of today have advanced to the point where they are not simply a television anymore. They are evolving into devices that are designed to integrate with numerous other devices found in the home. Some examples are: Portable audio and video devices, still cameras, home computer networks and accessing the internet to name a few.
Communications with these varying devices requires that the television be compatible with varying communications protocols. Although standards are detailed for each of these protocols, the real world dictates that occasional errors may occur that could prevent devices from operating or communicating properly.
Keeping the software in the television up-to-date is a procedure that is normally handled by the owner of the television. Most customers who own computers and other digital devices are familiar with and are accustomed to updating the software in their products. If a customer contacts the Sony Customer Support Center and it is deemed to be correctable with a software update, the issue is handled at the customer level.
KDL-32EX725/40EX725/55EX725 12
Page 19
SECTION 2 - SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR SERVICERS

The models in this manual utilize a “generic” type Main Board. In the past, many different Main Boards needed to be stocked due to differences in software requirements. The software loaded on the board was specic to the model and its features along with the type of LCD panel installed during production.
Replacement Main Boards are now stocked with basic software. Once the replacement board is installed in the unit, the most current software needs to be installed using a USB thumb drive containing the necessary software downloaded.
This new method of supplying Main Boards signicantly reduces the complexity of replacing LCD panels and Main Boards. Information about the LCD panel is stored on the T-CON circuits. This information is automatically loaded onto the Main Board when the TV is powered up. With the correct software version the Main Board and/or the T-CON or LCD panel can be replaced more efciently.
In addition to software installation, service adjustment information may need to be modied or veried to complete the service of the TV. Service adjustment information is covered in “Section 7 - Service
Adjustments” on page 66.
SOFTWARE UPDATE RESPONSIBILITY
Software updates are designed to be performed by the customer. Warranty repairs in which the issue can be resolved by a software update are not reimbursable. Most issues involving software updates are handled by the customer service center and should not be directed to an authorized service center. It is the responsibility of the servicer to prevent service calls for issues that involve software updates. Exceptions to this are certain cases whereby the customer is unable or unwilling to perform the task. In this situation, the servicer will be notied and receive the proper authorization for reimbursement.
It is the servicer’s responsibility, however, to make certain that any
TV requiring a legitimate service is running the latest software
version and to install it if necessary.

Page 20
SECTION 2 - SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
CHECKING THE SOFTWARE VERSION
The easiest way to check the version of software that is currently on the TV is to access the Contact Sony screen by using the customer menu.
FIGURE 2-1. EXAMPLE OF SOFTWARE VERSION
LOCATED ON THE CONTACT SONY SCREEN
EXAMPLES OF SOFTWARE CORRECTABLE SYMPTOMS
Most symptoms that are correctable by software updates involve communications issues with other devices or minor glitches in the operation of a specic function. Below is a list of some of the symptoms that may be corrected with a software update:
Fluctuations in picture brightness
Intermittent picture freezing or noise
Problems with certain inputs (especially HDMI)
Intermittent or distorted audio
Erratic remote control operation
Unit turns on and off by itself
Loss of color
Internet connectivity
Certain features not working correctly

OVERALL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

“Figure 3-5. Overall Block Diagram” on page 20 provides an overview
of the AZ2-F chassis. The following are descriptions of the boards and their functions.

MAIN BOARD

Common to all models the Main Board, designated as the BATV Board, contains the TV control, video, and audio processing circuitry. All these functions are accomplished using the X-Reality Processor.
TUNER
The tuner is a combination ATSC/NTSC unit. It can receive traditional analog NTSC signals via cable or terrestrial along with ATSC digital signals via terrestrial (8VSB) or cable (64 or 256 QAM).
X-REALITY PROCESSOR
IC9000 performs the majority of the necessary audio and video processing on the main board.
TV Microprocessor: The CPU internal to the X-Reality processor controls all aspects of the television functions. Input from the user along with monitoring of critical circuits is also performed by this CPU.
HDMI Input and Switching: The customer can select the HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, HDMI4 input. Each HDMI input contains a common EDI NVM (not shown) to provide display information data to any device connected via the HDMI inputs.
LVDS Transmitter: Integrated into IC9000 is a Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) transmitter. This circuit converts the 8-bit parallel RGB video information into a set of high speed serial lines for noise-free transmission to the T-CON circuits located internally to the LCD panel.
Scan Converter: Signal processing circuit that performs resolution conversion (aspect ratio) and interlaced to progressive scan (IP) conversion
AUDIO AMPLIFIER
The audio amplier (IC4601) amplies the digital audio output of the X-Reality processor and sends it to the speakers.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor detects over-temperature conditions on the Main Board, LCD Panel, or ambient room temperature and sends the shutdown signal to the processor.
Digital Audio and Video Decoder: The MPEG2 and Digital Dolby audio streams are received from the tuner for decompression. All video sources which are not native 1920 X 1080p 60HZ are scaled to this resolution. Digital audio content is output to the class D amplier for processing and amplication.

POWER SUPPLY

There are different Power Supply Boards used in the models in this manual. The type of board depends on the size of LCD panel. They are:
G10A-Board (32”)
G4B-Board (40”)
G6A-Board (55”)
Note:the G8A in the 55” models is the Power Supply Board for the Panel LED backlight system.
There are 2 distinct sections on the power supply:
Standby Supply: Continuously operational as long as AC power is applied, the standby supply generates 3.3V for the circuits requiring power while the unit is turned off. An unregulated 19V line is present to provide power to the main relay, PFC and main power supply at turn-on.
Main Supply: Once the power supply receives a power-on command from the CPU on the Main Board, the main switching supply is turned on to provide a regulated 12V source and an regulated 24V source for the LED power supply circuits.
POWER SUPPLY FOR BACKLIGHT

LD BOARD (LED DRIVER BOARD)

The LED Driver Board is controlled by the T-CON/HFR Board to perform overall backlight power-on, backlight level, and local dimming functions. This board takes the 24V from the Power Supply Board (or G8A Board for the 55” models) and develops the negative and positive voltages to directly drive the LEDs in the panel assembly.

3D IR EMITTER

Designated as the HEM2 Board, this board is the internal 3D IR Emitter.

SWITCH UNIT

This board contains the power, channel, and volume up/down and menu buttons.

MOTION SENSOR BOARD

Designated as the HMS3 Board, the Motion Sensor Board contains the circuits for the Motion Sensor. The Motion Sensor detects when there is movement in front of the TV. If there is no movement in front of the TV after a predetermine amount of time the backlight is turned off (audio present). After an extended period of time the TV is completely turned off.
SYSTEM
The G8A-Board is the Power Supply Board for the Panel LED backlighting system (including the LED Driver Board) for the 55” model only. 390V, 19V, and 12V are applied to the board from the G6A Board to develop the 24V. The 24V is applied to the LD Driver board.
KDL-32EX725/40EX725/55EX725 18

IR BOARD

Designated as the HLR2 Board, the IR Board contains the power, standby, and timer LED’s are located on this board along with the IR remote receiver and light level sensor.

SECTION 3 - CHASSIS OVERVIEW

LCD PANEL ASSEMBLY

The LCD Panel Assembly includes the LCD Panel, T-CON Board, and LED Backlight system.
NOTE: The LD Board is not included with the LCD Panel.
The LCD Panel contains the actual liquid crystals, color lters, and polarizers. The liquid crystals are manipulated by the applied voltage to pass a specic amount of light - from the backlight- depending on the level of voltage applied.
The T-CON performs all the control, timing, charge, and discharge functions driving the operation of the LCD Panel.
A new LCD Panel assembly from parts will include the following items.
1. LCD Panel
2. LED Backlighting Components
3. T-CON Board
T-CON BOARD
The T-CON Board communicates between the LCD Panel and the microprocessor on the Main Board. (NOTE: The T-CON Board is not available as a replacement part for all models.)

Self Diagnosis
Supported model
The models in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the standby LED will automatically begin to ash. The number of times the LED ashes translates to a probable source of the problem.
A history of the errors is stored on the Self Check diagnostic page as shown in ”Figure 4-4. Sample Self Check Diagnosis Page” on page
35. This page can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored
in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occured. If there is more than one error, the standby LED will identify the rst of the problem areas. If the Self Check screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred.

SECTION 4 - TROUBLESHOOTING
2X Blink - Main Power Error
A 2X protection mode blink pattern can be activated due one of the following defects.
Loss of REG12V (LVP)*
Loss of -125V (Single Line)
Excessive -125V Level (OVP)*
Loss of Power-ON Signal
Excessive PFC Voltage (OVP)
Excessive PFC Temperature (OTP)
*Low Voltage Protection (LVP)
*Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
A loss or excessive condition of the REG12VDC secondary voltage from the main power supply IC6351 will cause a 2X blink pattern on the standby LED. The 12Vdc can be checked at CN6704/pin 16.
If the measurement is 0V or rises above 12Vdc (approaches 15V) before the TV shuts down the Power Supply Board is defective.
regulate down to between 89V and 125V depending on the Backlight adjustment in the User Menu. If one of the negative supplies is 0V or rises above -175V before shut-off then the Power Supply Board is defective, replace it to x the problem.
A defective X-Reality processor on the Main Board or Switch circuit on the Power Supply Board will cause a loss of the Power-ON signal (2X). To determine which component is defective check the Power­ON voltage level at CN6704/pin 1. In normal operation 3V should be measured. If the 3V is present before shut-off then the Power Supply Board is defective. If 0V is measured before shut-off then the Main Board is defective.
Finally, there are PFC protection circuits on the Power Supply Board that when activated will cause a 2X blink protection mode. The PFC circuit is monitored for both over-voltage and over-temperature. Therefore, if all the previously discussed circuits checkout okay, there could still be a problem on the Power Supply Board in the PFC circuit causing the 2X blink. Replacing the Power Supply Board will x the TV.
3X Blink- DC Regulator/Audio Error
The Audio error can occur due on of the following error conditions.
If approximately 12Vdc is present and remains below 12Vdc before shutdown then further troubleshooting is necessary to determine the defective component.
After conrming proper REG12V levels, check the Negative LED Backlight supply levels. A loss or excessive condition of the negative supply will cause a 2X blink failure. The voltage level can be checked at CN6701/pins 1 & 3 before the TV shuts off. There will be 2 to 4 wires (Red & Blue) depending on the panel size. All individual wires should be checked for proper voltage level. In normal operation the voltage level will initially rise to approximately -175V and then should

KDL-32EX725/40EX725/55EX725 31
Page 38
SECTION 4 - TROUBLESHOOTING
The rst thing to check when a 3X blink protection mode occurs is the physical condition of the speakers and speaker connections. The speakers should measure 8 ohms. Shorted speakers or connections can cause a 3X blink protection mode.
If the speakers and connections check okay, then the defective component is on the Main Board. Either an open F4200, defective DC Regulator, or defective Audio amplier will cause a 3X blink protection mode. In any of these cases, replace the Main Board to x this condition.
A defect on the Power Supply Board can cause a 3X blink protection mode and shut-off. Check the AU12V level at CN6704/pin 14. If 0V is measure before shut-off the Power Supply Board is defective.
4X Blink – Balancer Error
The 4X error code is only used on models incorporating local dimming LED backlighting. If a failure occurs on the LD board the TV will shut down and display this diagnostic code. Models using conventional non-local dimming LED backlighting do not utilize this error code.
5X Blink - T-CON Error
The 5X blink protection mode indicates a communications error between the T-CON Board and the X-Reality microprocessor on the Main Board. If the T-CON is available for replacement, replace the T-CON. If the T-CON is not available, the LCD panel must be replaced since the T-CON circuit is part of the LCD panel assembly. In rare cases a loose or defective LVDS cable could also be the cause.
6X Blink - Backlight System Failure
NOTE: All models will make two attempts to power up before a 6X is activated. The SONY logo (Backlight) may or may not display on the screen. However, the splash tones will be heard two times. After the second attempt the TV will turn off and the standby LED will blink a 6X protection mode. (Note: The splash tone may not be heard if it is turned off or the volume is set to minimum.)
If a 6X blink pattern is activated then a defect has occurred in one of the following areas.
Defective Panel LED(s)
Defective Power Supply
When troubleshooting a 6X backlight system failure it is key to notice if the backlights illuminate before the TV shuts off. The following list shows the possible backlight status and blink pattern and the possible failed components.
1) Momentary Backlight and 6X
a) Defective LED(s) (LCD Panel Assb.)
2) No Backlight and 6X
a) Replace Power Supply
In most cases, if the Sony logo (Backlight) momentarily illuminates and the TV shuts off and a 6X is activated than one or more of the backlight LEDs are defective. The LCD Panel assembly panel must be replaced for a defective LED. However, before replacing the LCD panel assembly check for a complete loss of the Negative Backlight (-89V to -125V) power supply. The -89V to -125V power supply can be checked at CN6702/pins 1 & 3.
KDL-32EX725/40EX725/55EX725 32
Page 39
SECTION 4 - TROUBLESHOOTING
If there is no backlight before the TV shuts off and activates a 6X, than check the “Backlight ON” signal from the TV microprocessor and the Positive (+145V) Backlight power supply from the Power Supply Board. The BL-ON signal can be checked at CN6704/pin 5 and the +145V at CN6701/pins 1 & 3.
If the “Backlight-ON” signal is okay and the Positive Power supply is missing then the Power Supply Board is defective. However, if the Backlight-ON is missing then the X-Reality Microprocessor is defective and the Main Board must be replaced to repair the problem.
7X Blink - Temperature Failure
These models do not display a temperature warning OSD dialogue box before shutting off and going into a 7X standby LED blink pattern. The main objective when a 7X blink pattern occurs is to determine which of the following possible defects is causing the excessive temperature condition indication.
Excessive Ambient Room Temperature
Dust or Debris Blocking the TV Ventilation Apertures
Defective Temperature Sensor or X-Reality Microprocessor
(Main Board)
If the TV takes a considerable period of time to shut-off check the following items:
The TV should not be located too close to any heating
devices.
The TV should have at least 4 inches of clearance around
the sides & rear, and 11 inches of clearance over the top to ensure adequate ventilation.
Check that all vented areas on the TV are clear of all dust
and debris.
If the TV shuts off immediately after Power-ON then one
of the following components has failed (Not an Actual Excessive Temperature Condition).
X-Reality Microprocessor (Main Board)
Temperature Sensor (Main Board)
In either case the Main Board must be replaced to x the problem.
The rst step is to notice how long it takes the TV to shut off and trigger a 7X blink protection mode.
If the TV has an actual excessive temperature condition it will take a considerable period of time to shut off and indicate a 7X blink protection mode. This is because it will take time for the TV components to heat up and for the temperature sensor to detect the excessive temperature and shut the TV off.

Guidelines for Remote Control
• Point your remote control directly at the IR sensor located on your TV.
• Make sure that no objects are blocking the path between the remote control and the IR sensor on your TV.
• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.
• If you are having problems with the remote control, reinsert or replace your batteries and make sure that they are correctly inserted.
Before setting up your TV
Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) or a hexagon wrench (supplied to some models) and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet. Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:
• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.
• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.
Getting Started
• Ensure your TV has adequate ventilation, see page 19.
• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or sunlight.
• Avoid installing the TV in a room with reflective wall and floor materials.
• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.
• Ensure that there are no objects in front of the TV.
• Do not expose the Presence Sensor to direct sunlight or other strong light, as malfunction may occur.
