PC Input Signal Reference Chart
After connecting the PC to the TV, set the output signal from the PC according to the chart below.
* The 1080p timing when applied to the HDMI input will be treated as a video timing and not PC timing. This affects Picture settings, Wide Mode
settings, and PIP function. To view PC content set Picture Mode to Custom,Wide Mode to Full, and Display Area to Full Pixel.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
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.
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.

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.

RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to

2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. 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
trouble- light (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).

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will automatically begin to flash.
The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem.
A definition of the STANDBY LED 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.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem.
If there is more than one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas.
