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.

For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be con-
firmed, 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 [5] / Sound volume [-] / Power ON

SELF DIAGNOSTIC

– 6 –

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.

[+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.

* (Refers to the RGB levels of the AKB detection Ref pulse that detects IK.)
