SECTION 1

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

The unit 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.

1-1. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS

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 occurred if the screen displays a “0”.

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 button on the remote commander sequentially as shown below when the diagnostic screen is
being displayed.

Press “8” button

(It will indicate “CLEAR” on the screen.)

Q5302, Q5303, and D5303. Shut down the power supply.

White balance failure If the RGB levels do not balance or become low level within 5 seconds. This

error will be detected by IC4301.
TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.

If the voltage of pin 1 of IC5201 goes to High, the voltage to pin 20 of IC4301
go to UP. The unit will automatically turn off.

Connect the antenna

If you wish to connect a VCR, see the “Connecting a VCR” diagram below.

CAUTION

Do not connect the power cord until all other connections are
complete; otherwise, a minimal current leakage through the antenna
and/or other terminals to the ground could occur.

Connecting a VCR

To play a video tape, press t (see page 14).

Notes

• If you connect a monaural VCR, connect the yellow plug to

(the yellow

jack) and the black plug to

-L (MONO) (the white jack).

• If you connect a VCR to the 8 (antenna) terminal, preset the signal

output from the VCR to the program number 0 on the projection TV.

• When both the

(S video input) and t 1 (video input) are connected,

the

(S video input) is automatically selected. To view the video input

to t 1 (video input), disconnect the S video cable.

Step 2

Insert the batteries into
the remote

Notes

• Do not use old batteries or different types of batteries together.

• To operate some of the functions of your projection TV, you may have to
open the remote control cover.
