POWER MANAGEMENT
The power saving mode complies with the VESA Display Power Management Signaling standard. Each state of power management shall be activated
by the host computer terminating the appropriate sync signals. Blanking the video must precede termination of the sync signals. The elapsed time
counter shall also be controlled by the host computer. Reactivation of the monitor shall be accomplished from the host computer by re-establishing the
normal sync signal.

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
When a failure occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER lamp will ash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
CAUTION
Short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to the metal chassis, CRT shield, or carbon painted on the CRT, after
removing the anode.
WARNING!!
An isolation transformer should be used during any service to avoid possible shock hazard, because of live chassis. The chassis of this
receiver is directly connected to the AC power line.
!SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
Components identied by shading and ! mark on the schematic diagrams, exploded views, and in the parts list are critical for safe
operation. Replace these components with sony parts whose part numbers appear as shown in this manual or in supplements published
by sony. Circuit adjustments that are critical for safe operation are identied in this manual. Follow these procedures whenever critical
components are replaced or improper operation is suspected.
HMD-A240R
ATTENTION!!
Apres avoir deconnecte le cap de l’anode, court-circuiter l’anode du tube cathodique et celui de l’anode du cap au chassis metallique de
l’appareil, ou la couche de carbone peinte sur le tube cathodique ou au blindage du tube cathodique.
An d’eviter tout risque d’electrocution provenant d’un chássis sous tension, un transformateur d’isolement doit etre utilisé lors de tout
dépannage. Le chássis de ce récepteur est directement raccordé à l’alimentation du secteur.
! ATTENTION AUX COMPOSANTS RELATIFS A LA SECURITE!!
Les composants identies par une trame et par une marque ! sur les schemas de principe, les vues explosees et les listes de pieces
sont d’une importance critique pour la securite du fonctionnement. Ne les remplacer que par des composants sony dont le numero
de piece est indique dans le present manuel ou dans des supplements publies par sony. Les reglages de circuit dont l’importance est
critique pour la securite du fonctionnement sont identies dans le present manuel. Suivre ces procedures lors de chaque remplacement
de composants critiques, ou lorsqu’un mauvais fonctionnement suspecte.

After correcting the original service problem, perform the following
safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and
bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or
touching high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and
mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that
you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the
customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of
deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their
replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specied values. Make sure
your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if
sets always have low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check
leakage as described below.
Leakage Test
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all
exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis,
must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be
measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA
WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital
multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75
V, so analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale.
The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of
passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital
multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
How to Find a Good Earth Ground
A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate retaining
screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground. If the retaining
screw is to be used as your earth ground, verify that it is at ground
by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-water pipe with an
ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms.
If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60- to 100-watt troublelight (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the
retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side on the
line; the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw is at ground
potential (see Figure B).

NOTE: After removing the anode cap, short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to either the metal chassis, CRT shield, or carbon
painted on the CRT.
REMOVAL PROCEDURES
Turn up one side of the rubber cap in the
direction indicated by arrow a.
HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE CAP
1. Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the surface of the
anode cap.
2. To avoid damaging the anode cap, do not squeeze the rubber covering too
hard. A material tting called a shatter-hook terminal is built into the rubber.
3. Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause the shatter-hook
terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.
ANODE CAP REMOVAL
Use your thumb to pull the rubber
cap rmly in the direction indicated
by arrow b.
— 9 —
When one side of the rubber cap separates from
the anode button, the anode cap can be removed
by turning the rubber cap and pulling it in the
direction of arrow c.
When replacing parts shown in the table below, the following
operational checks must be performed as a safety precaution
