SAFETY CHECK-OUT
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.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A.
Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these instructions.
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
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
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 FUNCTIONS
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.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen.
If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .
If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONS
VIEWING THE SELF CHECK DIAGNOSTIC LIST
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 occurrences of a failure for confirmation on the Self Check diagnostic screen:
1. TV must be in standby mode. (Power off).
2. Press the following buttons on the Remote Commander within a second of each other:
