SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

1. Summary of Self-Diagnosis Function

• This device includes a self-diagnosis function.

• In case of abnormalities, the TIMER/STANDBY indicator automatically blinks. It is possible to predict the abnormality location
by the number of blinks. The Instruction Manual describes blinking of the TIMER/STANDBY indicator.

• If the symptom is not reproduced sometimes in case of a malfunction, there is recording of whether a malfunction was generated
or not. Operate the remote command to confirm the matter on the screen and to predict the location of the abnormality.

2. Diagnosis Items and Prediction of Malfunction Location

• When a malfunction occurs the TIMER/STANDBY indicator only blinks for one of the following diagnosis items. In case of two
or more malfunctions, the item which first occurred blinks. If the malfunctions occurred simultaneously, the item with the lower
blink count blinks first.

• The screen display displays the results regarding all the diagnosis items listed below. The display “ 0 ” means that no malfunc­tions occurred.

4. Self-diagnosis screen displays

• In cases of malfunctions where it is not possible to determine the symptom such as when the power goes off occasionally or when
the screen disappears occasionally, there is a screen display on whether the malfunction occurred or not in the past (and whether
the detection circuit operated or not) in order to allow confirmation.

OCP Low B and +B line detect DET SHORT, and shut-down POWER ON RELAY.

Reset by turning power on/off.
In case of +B is loaded approx. 1.3A or more, microcomputer detects it via IC651.

OVP In case of +B becomes approx. 150V or more, POWER ON RELAY shuts down and microcomputer detects it via IC651.

Reset by turning power on/off just the same as OCP.

V Stop In case of microcomputer detects 2 seconds or more interval of V Pulse, Reference Pulse turns off by turning off the picture

signal in YC Jungle IC (IC206).

After the picture signal turns off, V Pulse is regenerated 2 seconds or more, the picture signal turns on.
AKB IK detection. Makes LED blinking in case of microcomputer doesn’t detect IK returns of IC206 CXA2147Q 30 seconds or more.
H Stop In case of HV becomes 33kV or more, IC502 detects it and shut-down H Drive Pulse.

Microcomputer receives H Stop data from IC206 and makes LED blinking.
Audio In case of DC component overlaps the output of Audio Amp., microcomputer detects it and makes LED blinking.

Microcomputer forces to shut down the power.

Precautions

Installing and Connecting the Projection TV (continued)

Safety

• Operate the projection TV only on 120 V
AC.

• The plug is designed, for safety purposes,
to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• If any liquid or solid object should fall
inside the cabinet, unplug the projection
TV immediately and have it checked by
qualified service personnel before
operating it further.

• If you will not be using the projection TV
for several days, disconnect the power by
pulling the plug itself. Never pull on the
cord.

2

Note on cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV with a
dry soft cloth. To remove dust from the
screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
slightly dampened with solution of mild
soap and warm water. Never use strong
solvents such as thinner or benzine for
cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the
projection TV for a long period of time, it
may be necessary to clean the inside of the
projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the projection TV in a hot
or humid place, or in a place subject to
excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

• Avoid operating the projection TV at
temperatures below 5° C (41° F).

• If the projection TV is transported
directly from a cold to a warm location,
or if the room temperature changes
suddenly, the picture may be blurred or
show poor color. In this case, please wait
a few hours to let the moisture evaporate
before turning on the projection TV.

• To obtain the best picture, do not expose
the screen to direct illumination or direct
sunlight. It is recommended to use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling
or to cover the windows that face the
screen with opaque drapery. It is
desirable to install the projection TV in a
room where the floor and walls are not of
a reflective material.

Making Connections

Connecting directly to a cable or
an antenna

The connection you choose will depend on
the cable found in your home. Newer homes
will be equipped with standard coaxial cable
(see

A); older homes will probably have 300 -

ohm twin lead cable (see
homes may contain both (see C).
Use 75-ohm coaxial cable for improved
picture quality (see
