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 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”.

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:
[Screendisplay] / channel [5] / Sound volume [-] / Power ON
˘
Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume [+]).

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.

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

TV, the power cord and the antenna cable during
lightning storms.
Do not place any objects on the TV.
3
Using Your New TV
Pull the power cord out by the plug. Do not pull
the power cord itself. Even if your TV is turned
off, it is still connected to the AC power source
(mains) as long as the power cord is plugged in.
Unplug the TV before moving it or if you are not
going to use it for several days.
Install the TV on a stable TV stand and floor
which can support the TV set weight. Ensure that
the TV stand surface is flat and its area is larger
than the bottom area of the TV.

Notes
• With the “VIDEO MULTI SYSTEM” input terminal, you can also receive
PAL, NTSC and SECAM video signals when using VIDEO IN 1 or 2 jacks
at the rear of your TV or the VIDEO 2 INPUT jacks at the front of your TV.
• If you connect a monaural VCR, connect the yellow plug to VIDEO (the
yellow jack) and the black plug to AUDIO-L (MONO) (the white jack).
• Do not connect video equipment to the VIDEO 2 INPUT jacks at the front
and VIDEO IN 2 (video input) jacks at the rear of your TV at the same
time; otherwise the picture will not be displayed properly on the screen.
• When no signal is input to 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.
Step 3
Preset the channels automatically
Tips
• If you want to stop automatic channel presetting, press SELECT.
• If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular
channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 10).
• The AUTO PROGRAM button on the remote works as the AUTO
PROGR button on the TV.

on your TV. Your TV can receive either 525i/60Hz or 625i/50Hz interlace
signals.
• Some DVD player terminals may be labeled differently:
• Since the high quality pictures on a DVD disc contain a lot of information,
picture noise may appear. In this case, adjust the sharpness (
“SHARP”)
(see page 15).
