• The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function.
• If an error occurs, the STANDBY 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 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.

• When an errors occurs, the STANDBY 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”.

• 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

˘

Note that this differs from entering the service mode (mode volume

).

• 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 diagnos-

tic screen is being displayed.

• Pay attention when perform by the service mode, other all electric adjustment data will be rewrite.
