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.

Note 2: Refer to screen (G2) Adjustment in section 3-4 of this manual.

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 [+]).

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.

WARNING

• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.

•

TV operating voltage: 110 – 240 V AC (For New Zealand and Australia only: 220 – 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. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Do not install the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places.

Do not install the TV in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet. Do not block the ventilation openings of the TV.

Pull the power cord out by the plug. Do not pull the power cord itself. Disconnect the TV if you are not going to use it for several days.

Install the TV in a stable position. 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.

selected. To view … 1 (video input), disconnect the S video cable.

• Do not connect video equipment to … 3 (video input) at the front and

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.

Step 2

Insert the batteries into the remote

Note

• Do not use old batteries nor use different types of batteries together.

Step 3

Preset the channels automatically

Tips

• If you want to stop the automatic channel presetting, press MENU twice.

• If your TV has preset an unwanted channel or cannot preset a particular

channel, then preset your TV manually (see page 30).
