SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
1.OUTLINE
• The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function.
• If an error occurs, the STANDBY 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 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.
2.DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICAT ORS
• When an errors occurs, the STANDBY 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”.

Timer recording with VPS/PDC signals
Some broadcasting system transmits VPS (Video Programme System) signals or
PDC (Programme Delivery Control) signals with the TV programmes. These
signals assure you that your timer recordings are made regardless of broadcast
delays, early starts, or broadcast interruptions. For example, if an urgent news
bulletin interrupts a regular programme, recording stops. As soon as the
interrupted programme resumes, recording starts again. To do that:
1
When you set a programme to be recorded by using the timer, (refer to the “Setting
the Timer” section on page 13), set VPS/PDC to On.
•If recording times overlap due to a VPS/PDC time shift, the programme that was broadcast first has
priority. Recording of the second programme begins when the first programme has finished.
•If the Video TV could not receive VPS/PDC signal because it was too weak or because the station
failed to transmit VPS/PDC signals, timer recording is made without the VPS/PDC function.

•how to handle an anode-cap
1 Don't hurt the surface of anode-caps with shaped
objects!
2 Don't press the rubber too hard so as not to hurt inside of
anode-caps!
A metal fitting called the shatter-hook terminal is built into
the rebber.
3 Don't turn the foot of rubber over too hard!
The shatter-hook terminal will stick out of damage the
rubber.
2 Using a thumb pull up the
rubber cap firmly in the
direction indicated by the
arrow b.
3 When one side of the rubber
cap is separated from the
anode button, the anode-cap
can be removed by turning
up the rubber cap and pulling
it up in the direction of the

SECTION 3
SET-UP ADJUSTMENTS
•The following adjustments should be made when a complete
realignment is required or a new picture tube is installed.
•These adjustments should be performed with the rated
power supply voltage, unless otherwise noted.
The PICTURE and Brightness controls should be set as follows
unless otherwise noted:
CONTRAST.......................... 100% (LIVE)
BRIGHTNESS control.......... 50%
COLOUR .............................. 50%
HUE ....................................... 50%
SHARPNESS ........................ 50%
Preparation:
•In order to reduce the influence of external magnetic
forces on the picture tube, face the TV set in an easterly
or westerly direction.
•Turn the power switch for the unit ON and erase the magnetic
force using a degausser.
3-1. BEAM LANDING
1. Degauss CRT screen.
2. Inut all-green pattern.
3. Adjust roughly landing at the centre of the screen by moving
the purity magnet.
4. Adjust toughly landing at both right and left sides of the screen
by sliding the DY forward or backward.
5. Adjust landing according to the lupe method or the allowance
mothod.
6. Adjust DY so the horizontal tilt of DY is within the standard.
Product standard is as follows.
± 1°
Perform the adjustments in the following order:
1. Beam Landing
2. Convergence
3. Focus
4. Screen (G2)
5. White Balance
6. Picture Distortion
Note: Test Equipment Required.
1. Color bar/Pattern Generator
2. Degausser
3. Oscilloscope

7. Use disk magnet, if landing at the corner is not good.
Disk mg shold be applyied on the funnel. Don't use mag if
possible because of picture distortion.
8. Screw down the DY.

1. Receive the channel with dot signal.
2. Minimize BRT and set picture level to the position where the
dot is easy to see.
3. Adjust horizontal convergence at the centre of the screen with
V. STAT correction piece.
4. Adjust vertical convergence of dot at the centre of the screen
with V. STAT MG.
5. Adjust repeatedly static convergence according to righe figure
in case that both HMC and VMC are not independant.
In case of both HMC and VMC exist attach BMC magnet to
neck assembly.
Case of HMC attached
Turn BMC over in case of adjustment in opposite direction.
Use BMC mg only when it is necessary, for it mak es CR T focus

(Dynamic convergence)
1. Recieve dot pattern.
2. Set BRT to main and PIC to the level where dot pattern is
easy to see.
3. Shake DY up and down. Insert DY spacer at position 'A' so
that cross MIS convergence is minimum.
4. Shake DY right or left and insert DY spacer at position 'C'
and 'D' where tilt is the smallest both on vertical and
horizontal axis.

3-3. FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
1. Receive monoscope pattern.
2. Adjust FBT focus VR so that the picture has the best focus.
Adjust the focus so that the center of the screen is in the best
focus.
Turn focus VR clockwise to the end and then tur n back counter
clockwise.
While turning back, pay attention to the centre cross of the
colour pattern, and then adjust the VR so that horizontal line
because clear and vertical line begins to become unclear.
Change signal to dot pattern, confirm that corner focus is good.
3. Receiving white signal, confirm that magenta ring is hardly
noticed.

1. Input ehite pattern. Adjust white balance of drive side, using
service mode VP No. 22 RAMP, No. 23 GAMP and No. 24
BAMP, so that colour temperature is 8600 K + 0 MPCD.
2. Input gray pattern for 10NIT. Adjust white balance of cut-off
side, using service mode No. 25 RCUT, No. 26 GCUT and No.

3. To take tracking, confirm again tha t colour temperatures of both
side are within the limit of the above standard 8600 K + 0
MPCD. If necessary, re-adjust.

2) When push 5 button on the remote commander green
colored "INITIAL write" indicates on the screen right above.
Continuing to press - button while words are displaying
(about 3 seconds). Display turns to red colored "INITIAL
write" then the screen become pitch-dark and select 1ch
about 5 seconds after. Then it turns green colored "G"
display.
Perform writing "standard value" standard data in micro
computer will write to the MEMORY and set to initialization
state all.
Note: When exchange only MEMORY IC002, perform "standard
value" writing in the begginning.
3. PICTURE ADJUSTMENT
1) Select adjustment item number of service mode by 1 and
4 buttons on the remote commander.
2) Adjust 3 and 6 buttons to satisfy set-up v alue and picture
condition of the screen.
4. WRITE T O THE MEMORY
•After adjusted, write to the MEMORY by MUTE and buttons and push - button while green "light" word
indicated on the picture display (about 3 seconds). It takes
about 1 second to complete the writing to the MEMORY.
When red "light" displayed turns to "G" and that makes
writing completely finish.
Color of the screen displayed light word.
