The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will automati-

cally 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 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”.

• 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.

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 DISPLAY

For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be con-

firmed, 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:

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.

6. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT

[+BovercurrentªOCPº] Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B(135) line is detected by Q604. If Q604 go to

ON and the voltage to pin 18 of IC301 should go down when V.SYNC is more than

seven verticals in a period, the unit will automatically turn off.

[Verticaldeflectionstopped] Occurs when an absence of the vertical deflection pulse is detected by Q509 and

IC001 shut down the power supply.

[Verticaldeflectionovercurrent] Occurs when an overcurrent on V drive line is detected by Q507. Power supply will

be shut down when detect this by IC001.

[Whitebalancefailure] If the RGB levels* do not balance or become low level within 5 seconds, this error

will be detected by IC301. TV will stay on, but there will be no picture.

• 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

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.

• HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP

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.

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

1 Turn up one side of the rubber cap in the direction indicated by the arrow a.
