I had the tech try to measure if there was any DC voltages that resided on the Variable audio output connectors. There was "4.5" volts on the Right channel and "0" volts on the left channel. When the "Mute" transistors on the variable line triggered they pulled both lines to ground. When the external amp was connected to this KV32S65. Serial # 8014575. Sound and circuit the input capacitor for the right channel charged with this 4.5 picture is fine but when the fixed or variable volts.

But when the Sony muted, the input capacitor inside the amp and the set is muted a loud pop is Big External amp discharged and caused a tremendous pop. heard in the right channel. C172 is a .47mfd used to decoupling the audio from IC101 the Variable audio control IC. This capacitor had 4.5 vdc on each leg measured to ground. Removing the capacitor and measuring the DC resistance across the cap measured 175 ohms. Replacement of the capacitor corrected the symptom. 8-741-592-2 (8-741-100-56) original number SBX1592-02 Unit has no audio corrected the symptom When Isolating the mute transistors I find that removing the Coupling capacitor C223 stops the muting action. This capacitor appears to be monitoring the B+ used for the audio output IC. We do have a slight fluctuation of voltage 0.3 ~ 0.5 volts to the audio KV27V40 8024539 Unit goes looses audio output when the volume is maximized out. this is coincident to load on voice peaks or when ever the volume is variations of loud to soft sounds However when this variations reach the 0.5 volt deviation the audio will mute. R210 is good and moved to a high position the volume will so is Q204. We replaced C223 with a new one and even tried to mute for about 1 second reduce the value to 1 mfd but we still get the same muting effect on voice peaks. IC401 has been replaced on an earlier visit with no changes in the symptom. It is unknown why this is causing this symptom. KV27V65. Unit has a 60 hz buzz in the audio will near minimum level is selected Unit has no audio, but when entering the service mode the audio returns. After resetting the EEPROM the set enters the reset mode normally but the sound is gone again. Tech replaced IC001,IC003 and Kboard, without effecting the symptom. Tech needs to add a ground wire to the ground side of R544 to the ground under the flyback transformer All had checked all voltages on the IC301 and everything looked normal. Out of desperation the tech ordered the IC301 and changed it. Tech changed the jungle IC301 and it fixed the problem. This answer might save someone some time?

The tech replaced the RF switch without effecting the symptom. Unit is connected in to component video input mode through a DVD player. The picture has a predominately green picture

The customer is using two different RF sources. Cable TV and a satellite dish. The CATV is being feed into the RF input labeled VHF/UHF and the satellite is fed into the AUX input. It appears the tuner does not correct the AFT when two different RF sources are used. The channel will has to be readdressed again for any AFT correction to occur. Suggest the customer used the satellite in the S-video and separate video input mode. In his present configuration the customer is loosing all stereo reception, and all high frequency detail over. This corrected the symptom. When operating a different DVD player the symptom is the same. There is no cure to this phenomin from Sony at this time

The set was completely dead. VDR602 was noticeably burned up. Cutting this device our of the circuit found that it was open. However the device is connected in the circuit like a metal oxide varistor. It should measure open since it is in parallel with the A.C. Line. It was discovered that no other shorted components could be found in the primer of the power supply. Main line fuse WAS NOT BLOWN! Checking the raw AC voltage on the AC Line filters T601, and T602 find that we have no AC voltage on the output of T602 but present on the input side. Isolating the open coil and removing the defective VDR602 allows the set to turn on and operate correctly. Tech will need to replace T602 and VDR602.

Replacing the devices corrected the problem. referenced to hot ground, it was missing. Main supply was not oscillating. Here is the problem; An arc occurs from the CRT dag to the heatsink of Q600 because it sits so close to the Dag. The heatsink is isolated from ground so the arc has no where to go but to the closest point to the heatsink. This point is IC600(18). The arc kills IC600 and subsequently burns up R640, a 1K at 1/2 watt resistor. IC600 and R640 blown. Replace the defective components then add a 100K resistor from the heatsink to ground.

Defeating the Horizontal output Looks like the tech has a bad IC351 CXA2025AS. A second Jungle by removing the collector connection still IC corrected the problem. will not allow Horizontal drive to appear at IC351(37). This pin is sitting at nearly 8.5 volts, not the 3 volts it is supposed to be. Also IC351(38) the HOFF/AFCPIN is at 3.3 volts which is normal Unit has b+ to horizontal output but no horizontal drive. If the Horizontal output is removed the set will produce the necessary KV32XBR200 9015636 Unit will click on drive signals. Collector of H. driver Q501(C) measures 85 with then it will turn off again. Does not get high Horizontal output removed. Unit appears to have a shorted Flyback voltage. or a problem in the horizontal output section that caused the OCP circuit to attack. Product had a defective Flyback transformer. KV24FV10 unit will not turn on. No High voltage. LED in front blinks 4 times indicating there is a vertical deflection has stopped. Both relays will latch but RY600 will unlatch after 15 seconds RY600 is the degaussing relay. The 15 second delay is normal. Since the unit never develops high voltage it would be obvious to all that vertical deflection will not occur. However the flashing of the LED "4" times is a bit misleading. The turn-on relay (RY602) latches but we are not able to achieve secondary B+. Closer inspection discovers that we are not getting primary voltages either. Jumping the relay (RY602) achieves High voltage and all functions work normally. Unit has a defective RY602. part # 1-755-266-11 Checking all the "MUST HAVES" I found that all B+'s were normal on the vertiical output IC. But checking the Data and clock I found that the pulses, after the power is pressed the data and clock pulsed 3 time during a the 3 second period wait affter power button was pushed. After the 3 seconds there was a were a series of pulses with a duration of only 120 microseconds wide remaining for 3 more seconds then disappeared. The pulses were 5 volt peak to peak and looked OK. Artificially I was able to "tickle" IC451(1 & 7) with my Fluke 77 meter in the diode check mode. This tests the ability of the IC to deflect the beam up or down to check the intergrity of IC451. I was able to get the beam to move up and down with this test. We had the same type of Data and clock going to all peripherials. I unplugged the "P" board and started the set again. The Data and Clock now changed dramatically. Instead of a 120 Microsecond pulse train, it increased to was 1000 microseconds. Unit has defective "P" board. This is a PIP module.

The problem is caused by D1409 on the A Board shorting. Problem caused by an intermittent B+ regulator on the G board, IC651, 1809-524-11. Replacement resolves problem. We have seen a KV32XBR76 Unit will not turn on No high number of these units lately with D1409 shorted. Often it is simply no high voltage voltage. Measuring the condition of the ring cracks on IC651 causing the problem. This unit did have a D1409 is shorted. loose solder connection on IC651(1) but it did not drop the voltage down enough across D1409. The voltage was always 36.6 volts across a 36 volt Zener diode. When monitoring the Horizontal output collector we found the 140 KV32S25 Unit will not develop high voltage. dropped slightly at turn on. But the Horizontal driver Q501(C) When the set is turned on no high voltage dropped to 85 and back up to 140. I had the tech to remove the appears. The set has sound and has a horizontal output transistor and try starting up the set again. After No Highvoltage flashing light on the front indicating the set power up measure the Q501(C) horizontal driver transistor. It is still in a stand by mode waiting for IK should be about 85 volts and stayed. This told us we were looking pulse feed back acknowledgement from the at a shutdown symptom. Checking all secondaries we found jungle IC nothing shorted. Replaced flyback which corrected trouble. The horizontal driver has tremendous amount of ringing on it. Does not change if we remove horizontal output transistor. The transistor has drive has 7 distinct pulses on the base that go above and below the cut off point of the transistor. These seven pulses are 1 KV32V25 serial # 7014651.

When tracing the video signal from the front input connector we find good video on the connector but less than an inch away from the KV32V25 Unit has no video when using the no video connector is a coupling capacitor C2233. Apparently the trace was front input jacks. All other inputs are O.K. torn after the video input jack entered the board. Placing a hard jumper wire from the Jack to the C2233(-) corrected the fault. Sony KV32XBR50 This customer has a Goldstar 8mm/VHS dual deck VCR located under this television on the built in shelf. When customer uses the 8mm deck the playback of the tape has corrupted audio, and poor tracking performance when played back on this television The design of the 8mm format is significantly different from that of the VHS. The 8MM format does not have any stationary heads and completely relies on the signals from the rotary video heads on drum. 4 ATF (Auto Tracking Fix) carriers are recorded on to the tape. Apparently the shielding in the 8 mm VCR, this close proximity to the TV, and the lack of shielding in the Sony TV caused the corruption of the 4 ATF signals. Placing the VCR on the bottom shelf of the TV cabinet corrected the symptom.

Problem was an open trace between the connector CN274(15) and C3578 located inside the combfilter shield located at coordinates C2 on the UY board. I asked the tech to enter the tech menu and change the setting in the VSS parameter from "0" to "1" Also change CDMD from "0" to "3" . This relates to the bulletin TV420. However this did not correct the symptom. I had the tech scrutinize the picture very closely and he discovered the image begins to have a slight sync KV27V42 When playing the DVD player stability prior to the event where the set displays the words "DVD". I through the S-video input the Letters "DVD" had the tech interrogate the composite video out of the DVD player show on the screen. and look for any anomalies in the composite video, vertical blanking interval, and horizontal sync. This unit uses sync to determine if the input port is live with valid sync. If sync is missing or corrupt the OSD will show the words that are defined by how the input label programmed.

The pincushion circuit is a diode modulator type. The source voltage of Q505(C) is developed at the junction of C519-C522 as voltage divider of main B+. This division ratio is modulated by a vertical parabola at Q505(B). We have had L501 and R571 are open & Q505 is shorted. I have seen 8 units with these parts bad. KV25XBR10. Unit has excessive horizontal Only two where IC531 was also also replaced. One thing that I Pincushion pincushion have also noticed is the silk screens labels for Q505 element pins are incorrect on the board as well as the service manual silk screens. So it is very easy to get the transistor in backwards if you don't pay attention on how you remove the old one.. My suggestion is to replace the listed parts to restore normal operation. In the tech menu PAMP, CPIN, PPHA adjustments can be tweaked slightly. I asked the tech go through the ID codes for this unit and see if they were the correct value. ID3was 10 ID5 was143 & ID6was 0. KV35V36 Unit has no control over PIP These were wrong. The ID codes are supposed to be from ID0 ~ PIP channels. The PIP only displays the main ID7 = 25, 55, 47, 10, 155, 6, 0. After resetting the ID codes the set channel. It will not change on its own operated the PIP correctly but stil
