SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasin g 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 dr op 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 gr ound.
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 r eading 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)

Using This Manual

Precautions

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing the Sony Trinitron

®

Color TV. Before reading this manual, check the
model number located on the front of this
manual or on the rear of your TV.

The menus shown in this manual are for model
KV-35V68. Your menus may differ from the ones
illustrated.
The features you will enjoy include:

• The GUIDE Plus+ interactive program guide
system, which allows you to access program
information in an on-screen program guide,
sort programs by category, and to quickly
schedule programs for viewing or recording.
This service is yours with no monthly fee.

• Dual tuner PIP, which allows you to watch
two programs at once without having to
connect any additional equipment

• SRS, which allows you to listen to stereo
programs in dynamic three-dimensional
sound

• The FAVORITE CHANNEL feature, which
allows you to preview each of your chosen
favorite channels in a small window picture
before you choose to tune to a particular
station

• A front A/V input, for easy connection of
your camcorder or game equipment

• An S Video input, for enhanced picture
quality

This manual is divided into five major sections.
We recommend that you review the contents of
each section in the order presented.

1

Connecting and Installing the TV

This section guides you through your initial
set up.

2

Basic Set Up

This section teaches you the basic skills
needed to operate your new TV. It shows
you how to operate special functions of the
remote control and the GUIDE Plus+ feature.

3

Using your New TV

This section shows you how to use the Easy
Set Up Guide feature, and how to use your
remote control.

4

Using your Menus

This section teaches you how to access
on-screen menus and adjust your TV's
settings.

5

Troubleshooting

This section helps you to correct problems
you may encounter with your TV.

Instructions in this manual are written for the
remote control. Similar controls may be found on the
TV console.

Safety

• Operate the TV only with 120 V AC .

• The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to
fit in the wall outlet only one way. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
contact your dealer.

• If any liquid or solid object should fall inside
the cabinet, unplug the TV immediately and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.

• If you will not be using the TV for several
days, disconnect power by pulling the plug
itself. Never pull on the cord.

For details concerning safety precautions, see the
supplied leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS“.

Note

• After you plug the TV back in, you must wait 24
hours before information will be available in the
Program Guide.

Installing

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do not
block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place,
or in a place subject to excessive dust or
mechanical vibration.

“Connecting the IR Blaster” on page 9)

Some pay cable TV systems use scrambled or encoded
signals that require a cable box to view all channels.

Cable box

1 Connect the coaxial connector from your cable to

the IN on your cable box.

2 Using a coaxial cable, connect OUT on your cable

box* to VHF/UHF on your TV.

Cable box and cable

For this set up, you can switch between scrambled
channels (through your cable box*), and normal (CATV)
channels by pressing ANT on your remote control.

Notes

• The GUIDE feature will not function for items
connected to the AUX input.

• When using PIP, you cannot view the AUX input
(scrambled channels) in the window picture.

• If you are using a cable box with the GUIDE Plus+
feature, when viewing PIP the same picture will be
displayed in the main and window picture. (see
page 25)

* When using the IR Blaster and a cable box, the

cable box must be left ON at all times to allow
the GUIDE Plus+ feature to receive information
about upcoming television programs.

shield, or carbon painted on the CRT.

REMOVAL PROCEDURES

Turn up one side of the rubber cap in

the direction indicated by arrow .

Use your thumb to pull the rubber cap

firmly in the direction indicated by
arrow .

HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP

Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the sur-

face of the anode-cap.

Do not squeeze the rubber covering too hard to avoid damaging

the anode-cap. A material fitting called a shatter-hook terminal is
built into the rubber.

Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause

the shatter-hook terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.

When one side of the rubber cap sepa-

rates from the anode button, the anode­cap can be removed by turning the rub­ber cap and pulling it in the direction of
arrow .

SET -UP ADJUSTMENTS

KV-32V68/35V68

The following adjustments should be made when a

Perform the adjustments in order as follows:

complete realignment is required or a new picture
tube is installed.

1. Beam Landing

2. Convergence

These adjustments should be performed with rated
power supply voltage unless otherwise noted.

The controls and switch should be set as follows

3. Focus

4. Screen (G2)/White Balance

Note: Test Equipment Required

unless otherwise noted:

1. Color Bar Pattern Generator

PICTURE control ................. normal

2. Degausser

3. DC Power Supply

BRIGHTNESS control ......... normal

4. Digital Multimeter

3-1. BEAM LANDING

Preparation:

• Input a white pattern signal.

• Face the picture tube in an East or West direction to reduce the influence of geomagnetism.

NOTE: Do not use the hand degausser because it magnetizes the CRT .

1. Input white pattern from pattern generator.

2. Loosen the deflection yoke mounting screw, and set
the purity control to the center as shown below:

5. Move the deflection yoke forward, and adjust so that the
entire screen becomes green.

3. Input green pattern from pattern generator.

4. Move the deflection yoke backward, and adjust with
the purity control so that green is in the center and
red and blue are even on both sides.
