SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the ST ANDBY/TIMER LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER LED flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the users 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.
Diagnostic Test Indicators
When an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas.
Results for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a “0”.

Stopping the Standby/Timer LED Flash
Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER LAMP from flashing.
Self-Diagnostic Screen Display
For errors with symptoms such as power sometimes shuts off or screen sometimes goes out that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurrences of failure on the screen for confirmation.
To Bring Up Screen Test

Handling of Self-Diagnostic Screen Display
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 buttons on the Remote Commander sequentially when the diagnostic screen is displayed, as shown below:

+B overcurrent (OCP) Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B (135V) line is detected by pin 33 of IC301 (MA Board). If
the voltage of pin 33 of IC301 (MA Board) is less than 1V when V.SYNC is more than seven verticals in a period, the unit will automatically turn off.
I-Prot Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by pin 5 of IC001 (MA
Board). Power supply will shut down when waveform interval exceeds 2 seconds.
IK If the RGB levels* do not balance within 2 seconds after the power is turned on, this error will be
detected by IC301 (MA Board). TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
KV-27FS12/27FS16/29FS12/29FS12C
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 B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if sets always have low HV .
8. 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 p art 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 Simp son 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to use these instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter . 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. The Simpsons 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).
How to Find a Good Earth Ground
A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover­plate 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).

HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE CAP
1
Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the surface of the anode cap.
2
To avoid damaging the anode cap, do not squeeze the rubber covering too hard. A material fitting called a shatter-hook terminal is built into the rubber.
3
Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause the shatter-hook terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.

SET -UP ADJUSTMENTS

The following adjustments should be made when a complete realignment is required or when a new picture tube is installed.
These adjustments should be performed with rated power supply voltage unless otherwise noted.
Set the controls as follows unless otherwise noted: VIDEO MODE: ST ANDARD
PICTURE control: ................ Normal
BRIGHTNESS control: ........ Normal

Before beginning adjustment procedure:
1. Degauss the entire screen.
2. Feed in the white pattern signal.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Input a raster signal with the pattern generator .
2. Loosen the deflection yoke mounting screw and set the purity control to the center as shown below.
Perform the adjustments in order as follows:

Preparation Before Confirmation
1. Using a Variac, apply AC input voltage: 120-220 ± 2 VAC.
2. T urn the POWER switch ON.
3. Input a white signal and set the PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS controls to maximum.
4. Confirm that the voltage between C546 (+) or TP503 and ground is more than 21.0 VDC.
Hold-Down Operation Confirmation
1. Connect the current meter between Pin 1 1 of the FBT (T505) and the PWB land where Pin 11 would normally attach. (See Figure 1 on the next page.)
2. Input a dot signal and set PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS to minimum: IABL = 1730 ± 100 µA.
3. Confirm the voltage of A Board TP-600 is 135 ± 1.5 VDC.
4. Connect the digital voltmeter and the DC power supply via diode 1SS119 to C546 (+) and ground. (See Figure 1 on the next page.)
5. Increase the DC power voltage gradually until the picture blanks out.
6. T urn DC power source off immediately .
7. Read the digital voltmeter indication (standard < 24.78+0,-0.1 VDC).
8. Input a white signal and set PICTURE and BRIGHTNESS to maximum: IABL = 1730 ± 100 µA.
9. Repeat steps 4 to 7.
Hold-Down Readjustment
If the setting indicated in step 2 of Hold-Down Operation Confirmation cannot be met, readjustment should be performed by altering the resistance value of R564 component marked with
