SELF DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANBY/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 STANBY/ 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 INDICATORS
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”.

Turn off the power switch on the TV main unit or unplug the power cord from the outlet to stop the STANDBY/TIMER lamp from flashing.
4. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DIPLAY
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 [+]).

5. HANDLINGOF 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.

WARNING
• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.
• Operate the TV only between 110 – 240 V AC.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.
Do not operate the TV if any liquid or solid object falls into it. Have it checked immediately by qualified personnel only.
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.
Your TV is recommended for home use only. Do not use the TV in any vehicle or where it may be subject to excessive dust, heat, moisture or vibrations.
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.
For children’s safety, do not leave children alone with the TV. Do not allow children to climb onto it.
Do not plug in too many appliances to the same power socket. Do not damage the power cord.
Clean the TV with a dry and soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any other chemicals to clean the TV. Do not scratch the picture tube.
For your own safety, do not touch any part of the TV, the power cord and the antenna cable during lightning storms.
Pull the power cord out by the plug. Do not pull the power cord itself. Disconnect the TV before moving it or if you are not going to use it for several days.

Notes
If you connect a monaural VCR, connect the yellow plug to
(the
yellow jack) and the black plug to
-L (MONO) (the white jack).
If you connect a VCR to the 8 (antenna) terminal, preset the signal
output from the VCR to the program number 0 on the TV.
When no signal is input from the connected video equipment, the TV screen becomes blue.
CAUTION
Do not connect 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 that leaks from the batteries touches you, immediately wash it away with water.
Insert the batteries into the remote
Step 3
Preset the channels automatically
Tips
If you want to stop automatic channel presetting, press SELECT twice.
If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular
channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 10).
Note (except KV-XA21P80/XA51M61)
