SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY (1) indicator will automatically
begin to flash. The number of times the STANDBY (1) indicator flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. 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 errors occurs, the STANDBY (1) indicator will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the
problem. If there is more than one error, the indicator will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnosis items are displayed on screen. No error has occurred if the screen displays a "0".

Occurs when IC001 internal HV protect detects an abnormal H-Pulse (frequency) due to
improper power supply to IC001. TV cuts off high voltage power of anode CRT. No picture will be
detected. eg: IC602, IC604 go faulty.

• REMOVAL OF ANODE-CAP
Note:
• After removing the anode, short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to the metal chassis, CRT shield or
carbon paint on the CRT.
•REMOVING PROCEDURES

2 Using a thumb pull up the rubber cap firmly in the direction
indicated by the arrow b.
C

3 When one side of the rubber cap is separated from the
anode button, the anode-cap can be removed by turning
up the rubber cap and pulling it up in the direction of the
arrow c.
•HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP
1 Do not damage the surface of anode-caps with sharp
shaped objects.
2 Do not press the rubber too hard so as not to damage
the inside of anode-cap.
A metal fitting called the shatter-hook terminal is built
into the rubber.
3 Do not turn the foot of rubber over too hard.
The shatter-hook terminal will stick out or damage the
rubber.

Note : 1. In [WRITE], the data for all items are written into memory together.
2. For adjustment items that have different standard data between 50Hz or 60Hz, be sure to use the respective input
signal after adjustment.
a) In the initial value (detailed) column, the data after the slash mark ("/") refers to NTSC model data. (not applicable to these models)
No ("/") means data is common for Multi and NTSC model. (not applicable to these models)
b) Item remarked "*" and "**", please refer page 26 for the data.
c)
shaded items are no data.
d) Standard data listed on the Adjustment Item Table are reference values, therefore it may be different for each model and for each mode.
e) Note for the Different Data those are the standard data values written on the microprocessor. Therefore, the data values of the models are stored respectively in the memory.
In the case of a device replacement, adjustment by rewriting the data value is necessary for some items.

NOTE:
The circuit indicated at left contains high voltage of over
1220 Vp-p. Please pay attention when inspecting or
repairing it to prevent an electric shock.
• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.
• TV operating voltage: 110 – 240 V AC.
• Do not plug in the power cord until you have completed making all other
connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through the antenna
and other terminals to ground.
• To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries from the
remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any liquid leaks from the
batteries and touches your skin, immediately wash it away with water.
For your own safety, do not touch
any part of the TV, the power cord
and the antenna cable during
lightning storms.
Do not place any objects on the TV.
The apparatus shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing
and that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
Do not block the ventilation
openings of the TV. Do not install
the TV in a confined space, such
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Do not open the cabinet and the
rear cover of the TV as high
voltages and other hazards are
present inside the TV. Refer
servicing and disposal of the TV
to qualified personnel.
For children’s safety, do not leave
children alone with the TV. Do not
allow children to climb onto it.
Do not operate the TV if any liquid
or solid object falls into it. Have it
checked immediately by qualified
