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”.

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.

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 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:

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.

SECTION 1

GENERAL

The operating instruction mentioned here are partial abstracts from the Operating Instruction Manual. The page numbers of the Operating Instruction Manual remain as in the manual.

WARNING

• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.

• Operate the TV only between 110 - 240 V AC (KV-XJ29M50/M80 (India)/ XJ29M80 (E/ME)/XJ29M81) and 220 - 240 V AC (KV-XJ29M31/XJ29M50/M60 (Thailand)).

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.

Do not place any objects on the TV.

Using Your New TV

WARNING (continued)

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.

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

• During automatic channel presetting, your TV screen will indicate “B/G” , “I”, “D/K” or “M” for the TV system (KV-XJ29M50/M80 (India)/ XJ29M80 (E/ME)/XJ29M50 (Thailand)/XJ29M81).

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 input) terminal, preset the signal output from the VCR to the program number 0 on the TV.

• Do not connect video equipment to the t 2 (video input) jacks at the front and the rear of your TV at the same time; otherwise the picture will not be displayed properly on the screen (KV-XJ29M31/XJ29M80 (E)/ XJ29M50/M80 (India)/XJ29M50/M60 (Thailand)).

• 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.

Step 2

Note

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

Notes

• If your DVD player can output interlace and progressive mode signals, select the interlace output when connecting to

(component video input) 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 16).

Using Your New TV

Connecting optional components

You can connect optional audio/video components, such as a VCR, multi disc player, camcorder, video game or stereo system.

To watch the video input of the connected equipment, press t (see page 13).

Connecting a camcorder/video game equipment using the t (video input) jacks

Notes

• You can also connect video equipment to the t 1 or 2 (video input) jacks

at the rear of your TV.

• Do not connect video equipment to the t 2 (video input) jacks at the

front and the rear of your TV at the same time; otherwise the picture will not be displayed properly on the screen.

Connecting audio/video equipment using the T (monitor output) jacks

Note

• If you select “DVD” on your TV scr
