SAFETY CHECK-OUT
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 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 zer o
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)

If you are connecting a cable box through the AUX input and would like
to switch between the AUX and normal (CATV) input you should consider
using the CHANNEL FIX feature. (see “CHANNEL SET UP” on page 26)
If you will be controlling all channel selection through
your cable box, you should consider using the CHANNEL
FIX feature. (see “CHANNEL SET UP” on page 26)
Cable Box Connections
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
• Your Sony remote control can be
programmed to operate your cable box.
(see “Operating a Cable Box or DBS
Receiver” on page 33)
• When using PIP, you cannot view the
AUX input in the window picture.

Notes
• Remove the batteries to avoid damage
from possible battery leakage whenever
you anticipate that the remote control will
not be used for an extended period.
• Handle the remote control with care.
Avoid dropping it, getting it wet, or
placing it in direct sunlight, near a heater,
or where the humidity is high.
• Your remote control can be programmed to

receivable channels in one step.
The AUTO PROGRAM function of the Easy
Setup Guide feature does not apply for
installations that use a cable box for all channel
selection.
You can also set up the TV manually. (see “Using
the SET UP menu” on page 26)
Tips z
• Perform this function during the day, with the
antenna and/or cable properly connected, to ensure
that all available channels will be broadcasting and
receivable.
• After using Easy Setup Guide you will still have the

Troubleshooting
• First, turn the TV on. Then, while pressing the RESET button on the remote control, press the POWER button on the TV. The TV will
turn itself off, then back on. When the TV turns on again, all settings will be reset, and the Easy Setup Guide will appear.
• If your TV does not turn on, and a red light keeps flashing, your TV may need service. Call your local Sony service center.
• Make sure the power cord is plugged in.
• Operate with the buttons on the TV and the remote control.
• Check to see if the TV/VIDEO setting is correct: when watching TV, set to TV, and when watching video tapes, set to VIDEO 1, 2, 3 or 4.
• Try another channel. It could be station trouble.
• Perform Easy Setup Guide again using the SET UP button to return to the factory preset condition. (see “To perform AUTO SET UP
again” on page 14)
• Batteries could be weak. Replace the batteries.
• Press TV (FUNCTION) when operating your TV.
• Make sure the TV’s power cord is connected securely to the wall outlet.
• Locate the TV at least 3-4 feet away from fluorescent lights.
• Check the S-Link connection. (see page 12)
• Make sure the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Adjust PICTURE in the VIDEO menu. (see “PICTURE” on page 23)
• Adjust BRIGHTNESS in the VIDEO menu. (see “BRIGHTNESS” on page 23)
• Check antenna/cable connections.
• Perform Easy Setup Guide again using the SET UP button to return to the factory preset condition. (see “To perform AUTO SET UP
again” on page 14)
• When VIDEO LABEL is set to WEB, the screen will darken, creating an ideal picture for WebTV viewing. (see "VIDEO LABEL" on page 28)
• Press MUTING so that “MUTING” disappears from the screen. (see “MUTING” on page 16)
• Check the MTS setting in the AUDIO menu. (see “MTS” on page 24)
• Make sure SPEAKER is set to ON in the AUDIO menu. (see “SPEAKER” on page 24)
• Perform Easy Setup Guide again using the SET UP button to return to the factory preset condition. (see “To perform AUTO SET UP
again” on page 14)
• Make sure CABLE is OFF in the SET UP menu. (see “CHANNEL SET UP” on page 26)
• Use AUTO PROGRAM to add receivable channels that are not presently in TV memory. (see “CHANNEL SET UP” on page 26)
• Adjust the COLOR in the VIDEO menu. (see “COLOR” on page 23)
• Perform Easy Setup Guide again using the SET UP button to return to the factory preset condition. (see “To perform AUTO SET UP

• Use AUTO PROGRAM to add receivable channels that are not presently in the TV memory. (see “CHANNEL SET UP” on page 26)
• Use a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable (when the problem is caused by reflections from nearby mountains or tall
buildings).
• If the item you want to choose appears in gray, you cannot select it. Your TV may be receiving video input. Try pressing TV/VIDEO.
• Make sure CABLE is ON in the SET UP menu. (see “CHANNEL SET UP” on page 26)

• Ensure that VIDEO LABEL is not set to SKIP. (see “VIDEO LABEL” on page 27)
• MONITOR OUT will not record both images in PIP or P&P. Only the main picture will be recorded.
• If you are recording the main picture and you switch to the sound of the sub picture using the AUDIO button, the main picture will
be recorded with sound from the other program.
If, after reading these operating instructions, you have any additional questions related to the use of your Sony television, please call our Direct

3 When one side of the rubber cap separates from
the anode button, the anode-cap can be removed
by turning the rubber cap and pulling it in the di-

• HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE CAP
Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage
to the surface 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.
Turn up one side of the rubber cap in the direction
indicated by the arrow .
