The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 5 AMP rating. Should the fuse need to be replaced, use
a 5 AMP FUSE approved by ASTA to BS 1362, ie one that carries the
ASA
mark.

IF THE PLUG SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT SUITABLE
FOR THE OUTLET SOCKETS IN YOUR HOME, IT SHOULD BE CUT

FROM THE MAINS LEAD MUST BE DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH
BARED WIRES IS DANGEROUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET.
When an alternative type of plug is used, it should be fitted with a
5 AMP FUSE, otherwise the circuit should be protected by a 5 AMP

BE-3E SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
The errors indicated below can be read using an Error Reader Display (Part Number S-188-900-10) connected to the service connector . Once an
error has been detected it will then be displayed on the two digit error reader. During the power up procedure and during norma l run time, the micro’s
self diagnostic procedures monitor for various errors. Errors displayed refer to the table indicated below .
Once every main loop (approximately 200ms OSD mode, 50ms text or menu mode), the micro checks the protection pin (pin 66). If the protection
pin is high 6 successive times, a protection error is diagnosed. The protection pin is not checked during the first 3 - 4 seconds after AC on.
If this error is diagnosed, the r espective NVM r egister will be updated and the set goes straight into diagnostic standby with 2 flashes - no r eset is
attempted.
AKB Error (Error 5)
Once every main loop the micro checks the AKB stability by reading the IKR return from the Jungle IC. IKR=1 means that the AKB is stable,
IKR=0 means that the AKB is unstable. If the AKB status is unstable for 10 seconds, an AKB error is diagnosed. AKB stability is not check ed
during the first 20 seconds after AC switch on.
If this error is diagnosed, the r espective NVM r e gister will be updated and the r esponse LED will flash 5 times continually, but the set will not go
into standby mode. If the AKB status becomes stable, and remains stable for 10 seconds, the LED will stop flashing.

A. IKR Return first goes high after 12 seconds
B. Micro begins checking IKR Return status 20 seconds after power on
C. Micro detects IKR return=0
D. Micro detects that IKR has been 0 for 10 seconds; NVM counter is incremented and the LED
starts flashing (flashes 5 times, off for 2 seconds, flashes 5 times, etc.)
E. Micro detects that IKR=1; LED continues to flash
F. Micro detects that IKR has been high for 10 seconds; LED stops flashing.
If any of these errors ar e detected, the r espective NVM r e gister will be incr emented. The softwar e will then carry on with the power up sequence.
In the case of these errors, the ‘device reset’ pin will be held low for 60ms, causing a hardwar e reset of Compact Text. Following this reset, a longe r
timeout will be allowed for the M3L bus to recover. If the error still exists, the NVM re gister will be incremented and the software will carry on.
In the case, the ‘device reset’ pin will be held low for 60ms, causing a har dwar e reset of Compact Text. Compact Text will then be re-initialised and
the NVM counter updated. This is the same as for errors 26, 28 and 33 except tha t the M3L b us timeout is not changed.
For both these errors, the softwar e will refresh the MSP and DSP registers. If the errors still e xist, the NVM counter will be incremented, and the
software will carry on.

Error Display Mode
Error Display Mode is entered by the following sequence of commands :
Standby -> Information -> Digit 5 -> Volume Down -> TV
This mode will display a special menu, which will list all possible errors and the number of occurrances of each error (0 - 255, as stored in the
NVM). There will also be a display of the current error (00 if no error). This display mode will appear as follows :
ERROR DISPLAY MODE
Current Error Code = 00
Error CodeOccurrencesError CodeOccurrences
Whilst in this mode, the number of occurences of each error can be reset to 0 by following sequence of Sircs commands: Digit 8 -> Digit 0.
‘TT08’ will also reset this NVM data.
This mode can only be exited by switching off the TV.
The Current Error Code can also be read by using a TV Error Reader (IIC slave address 42H). This device simply receives 1 data byte, which is the
error number in binary coded decimal form.

How to handle the Anode-Cap
1.To prevent damaging the surface of the anode-cap do not use
sharp materials.
2.Do not apply too great a pressure on the rubber, as this may cause
damage to the anode connector.
3.A metal fitting called a shatter hook terminal is fitted inside the

SECTION 3SET -UP ADJUSTMENTS
•When complete readjustment is necessary or a new picture tube is
installed, carry out the following adjustments.
•Unless there are specific instructions to the contrary, carry out
these adjustments with the rated power supply .
•Unless there are specific instructions to the contrary, set the
controls and switches to the following settings :
Contrast .................................. normal
Brightness .................................. normal
3-1. Beam Landing
Preparation :
1.In order to reduce the influence of geomagnetism on the set’s
picture tube, face it in an easterly or westerly direction.
2.Switch on the TV set’s power and degauss with a de g ausser.
(1) Adjustment of Correction Magnet for Y-Splitting Axis.
1.Input a crosshatch signal from the pattern generator.
2.Set the Picture control to minimum and confirm that the
Brightness control is set to normal.
3.Position the neck assembly as indicated in Fig.3-3.
4.Loosen the deflection yoke fixing screw .
5.Move the deflection yoke as far forward as is possible.
6.Adjust the upper and lower pin symmetrically by opening or
closing the Y -splitting axis cor rection magnets located on the neck
assembly. [See Fig 3-1 and Fig 3-2]
7.Return the deflection yoke to its original position and re-tighten its
fixing screw.
Fig.3-1
Y-splitting axis correction magnet
Carry out the adjustments in the following order :
High voltages are present on the Deflection yoke terminals - take care
when handling the Deflection yoke whilst carrying out adjustments.
(2) Landing
Note : Before carrying out the following adjustments adjust the
magnets as indicated below [See Fig.3-4].
1. Input a crosshatch signal from the signal generator.
2. Rough-adjust the focus and horizontal convergence.
3. Switch from the crosshatch pattern to an all-red pattern.
4. Move the deflection yoke backwards and adjust with the purity
magnet so that the red is at the centre and it aligns
symmetrically [See Fig.3-5].
5. Move the deflection yoke forward to the point where the entire
screen just becomes red [Mark its position].
6. Move the deflection yoke further forward until the screen just
changes colour at the edges. [Mark its position]
7. Position the deflection yoke between the two marks indicated
above.
8. Input a crosshatch pattern from the pattern generator and rotate the
deflection yoke so that the horizontal lines are parallel with the top
and bottom of the screen.
9. When the position of the deflection yoke has been determined,
fasten it with its fixing screw.
10. Switch the pattern generator to green then blue and confirm the
purity.
11. If the beam does not land correctly in all the corners of the screen,
use disk magnets to correct it. [Confirm the corner landing for
green and blue]
