The units 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. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the ST ANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. I f there
is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.
Results for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the the screen displays a "0" .

3. STOPPING THE STANDBY/TIMER 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.
4. 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 occurances of failure for confirmation on the screen:
[To Bring Up Screen Test]
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:
Screen display
channel

Sound volume
–
Power ON
Note that this differs from entering the service mode (sound volume + ).
Self-Diagnostic screen display

2: 0 <-------------
Numeral "0" means that no fault has been detected.
3: N/A 0
4: 0
5: 1 <-------------
Numeral "1" means a fault has been detected one time only.
101: N/A 0
5. 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 as shown below when the diagnostic screen is being
displayed.

[Quitting Self-diagnostic screen]
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.

+B overcurrent (OCP) Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B(115V) line is detected by pin 18 of IC301. If the
voltage to pin 18 of IC301 is less than 1V when V.SYNC is more than seven verticals in a
period, the unit will automatically turn off.
Vertical deflection stopped Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by pin 17 of IC001.
Power supply will shut down when waveform interval exceeds 2 seconds.
White balance failure If the RGB levels* do not balance within 2 seconds after the power is turned on, this error
will be detected by IC301. TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
KV-27S40 / 27S45 / 27S65 / 29SL40 / 29SL40A / 29SL40C/
29SL45 / 29SL65 / 29SL65C/ 29XL40M / 29XL40P / 29XT11A
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 poorlysoldered connections. Check the entire board surface
for solder splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires
are “pinched” or contact 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 part 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 microampere).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 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 Simpson's 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of passive VOMs that are suitable.
Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a
2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate
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-l00 watts
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 of the line, the lamp should light at normal
brilliance if the screw is at ground potential. (See Fig. B)

Watching two programs at
one time - PIP
The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) feature allows you
to view two channels simultaneously, one in
the full size “main” picture and one in a smaller
“window” picture. This means that two
separate tuners must be available to provide
the two signals.
Certain models (KV-27S45, 27V45 only) are
equipped with a single tuner. This simply means
that a VCR must be connected and turned on for
PIP to operate.
Tip

To ensure a correct single tuner PIP connection
(KV-27S45, 27V45 only), make sure the following list
is complete before using PIP:
• A cable or antenna is connected to the VCR
• The VCR is connected to your TV
• The VCR is turned on
(for detailed connection information, see pages 5-7)
Note
• You must press TV (FUNCTION) before you
