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:

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.

rubber cap in the direction indicated by the arrow a.

!¡ Picture tube

• 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 arrow c.

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.

Vertical static convergence magnet

(1) Horizontal and Ver tical Static Convergence

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 worse.

(2) Convergence adjustment of screen surroundings.

(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.

3-4. SCREEN (G2) ADJUSTMENT

Fig.3-8

1. Receive a Black signal, Cross and Hatch signal or dots signal.

2. Make sure to be in Personal, reset condition.

3. Adjust screen VR on FBT so that highest level of black area among kathodes is 175 ± 2 V.

3-5. WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

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. 27 BCUT, so that colour temperature is 8600 K + 0 MPCD.

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. W/B Specification: H/L difference = 2JND or less C/O difference = 3JND or less

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.

MUTE button on..................... Green word

- button on ........................... Red word
