– This device includes a self-diagnosis function.
– In case of abnormalities, the POWER/STANDBY indicator automatically blinks. It is possible to predict the

abnormality location by the number of blinks. The Instruction Manual describes blinking of the POWER/STANDBY
indicator.

– If the symptom is not reproduced sometimes in case of a malfunction, there is recording of whether a malfunction was

generated or not. Operate the remote command to confirm the matter on the screen and to predict the location of the
abnormality.

– When a malfunction occurs the POWER/STANDBY indicator only blinks for one of the following diagnosis items. In

case of two or more malfunctions, the item which first occurred blinks. If the malfunctions occurred simultaneously, the
item with the lower blink count blinks first.

– The screen display displays the results regarding all the diagnosis items listed below.

The display "0" means that no malfunctions occurred.
