SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER 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/TIMER 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.

1. DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS When an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER 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. Results for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. No error has occured if the the screen displays a "0" .
Diagnostic Item Description * Power does not turn on No. of times STANDBY/TIMER lamp flashes Does not light Self-diagnostic display/ Diagnostic result Probable Cause Location * Power cord is not plugged in. * Fuse is burned out (F5050) (E Board) 2:0 or 2:1 * H.OUT (Q502) is shorted.

5. HANDLING OF SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY
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.

+B overcurrent (OCP)

Occurs when an overcurrent on the +B(115V) line is detected by pin 18 of IC301. If the voltage to pin 18 of IC301 is less than 1V 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 pin 17 of IC001. Power supply will shut down when waveform interval exceeds 2 seconds. If the RGB levels* do not balance within 2 seconds after the power is turned on, 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.)

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 poorlysoldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and bridges. 2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are "pinched" or contact 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. 4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement. 5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement. 6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement of any such line cord to the customer. 7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV meter if sets always have low HV. 8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, "metallized" knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC 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 microampere). 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 milliammeter. 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 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is 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-l00 watts 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 of the line, the lamp should light at normal brilliance if the screw is at ground potential. (See Fig. B)

ANODE-CAP REMOVAL
NOTE: Short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to the metal chassis, CRT shield or carbon painted on the CRT, after removing the anode.

REMOVAL PROCEDURES

Turn up one side of the rubber cap in the direction indicated by arrow .

Use your thumb to pull the rubber cap firmly in the direction indicated by arrow .

HOW TO HANDLE AN ANODE-CAP
Do not use sharp objects which may cause damage to the surface of the anode-cap. Do not squeeze the rubber covering too hard to avoid damaging the anode-cap. A material fitting called a shatter-hook terminal is built into the rubber. Do not force turn the foot of the rubber cover. This may cause the shatter-hook terminal to protrude and damage the rubber.

When one side of the rubber cap separates from the anode button, the anodecap can be removed by turning the rubber cap and pulling it in the direction of arrow .

Feed in the white pattern signal. Before starting, degauss the entire screen. Input a raster signal with the pattern generator. Loosen the deflection yoke mounting screw, and set the purity control to the center as shown in Fig.2. Turn the raster signal of the pattern generator to green. Move the deflection yoke backward, and adjust with the purity control so that green is in the center and red and blue are at the sides evenly. (Fig.3) Move the deflection yoke forward, and adjust so that the entire screen becomes green. (Fig.1) Switch over the raster signal to red and blue and confirm the condition. When the position of the deflection yoke is determined, tighten it with the deflection yoke mounting screw. When landing at the corner is not right, adjust by using the disk magnets. (Fig.4)
