SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

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 INDICAT ORS
When an errors occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the lamp will identify the first of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the screen displays a “0”.

Symptoms
• Power does not come on.
• No power is supplied to the TV.
• AC power supply is faulty.
• Power does not come on.
• Load on power line is shorted.
• Has entered standby state after horizontal raster.
• Vertical deflection pulse is stopped.
• Power line is shorted or power supply is stopped.
• No raster is generated.
• CRT cathode current detection reference pulse output is small.
• Power is shut down shortly, after this return back to normal.
• Detect Micro latch up.
Note 1: If a + B overcurrent is detected, stoppage of the vertical deflection is detected simultaneously.
The symptom that is diagnosed first by the microcontroller is displayed on the screen.

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 [5] / Sound volume [-] / Power ON
˘
Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+]).
Self-Diagnosis screen display
SELF DIAGNOSTIC
002 : 000 003 : 000 004 : 000 005 : 001
101 : 000
Numeral "0" means that no fault has been detected.
Numeral "1" means a fault has been detected.
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.
Channel [8] / 0
[Quitting Self-diagnostic screen]
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.
