REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

ERROR CODES SERVICE MODE AND SERVICE MODE ADJUSTMENTS 

OPTION MENU
1. Press the <MENU> button on the remote control.
2. Press the buttons<2-4-7-0>.
(The screen will display the Option Menu.)
DIGITAL SIGNAL STRENGTH
1. Tune to a Digital Channel.
2. From the Option Menu scroll down and highlight Digital Signal Strength.
3. Press <ENTER>.
SERVICE TIP
Many customer generated symptoms, intermittent symptoms or no symptom found can be resolved by using the various Reset and Initialization options. Before visiting the customer’s home ask the customer 1st to try the System Reset button on the control panel and if this does not resolve the issue, then they can perform an A/V Reset by pressing the Guide + Format buttons on the front panel at the same time. Then, if necessary, perform a user level Initialization by pressing MENU-123-ENTER with the remote. The customer should be made aware when settings and/or options will be reset.
A/V MEMORY
Each of the external inputs has it’s own Audio/Video Memory. A change in an A/V setting at a specific input is stored in memory for that specific input.
A/V RESET
1. Press the front panel <GUIDE> and <FORMAT> buttons at the same time to initialize the A/V Memory for all inputs.
2. The AV Reset in the user’s menu initializes only the selected input’s A/V Memory
ERROR CODE OPERATIONAL CHECK
When an abnormal condition is indicated by the Status LED, perform the Error Code Operational Check.
To activate, press the front panel <INPUT> and <MENU> buttons at the same time and hold for 5 seconds.
The “POWER LED” will then flash denoting a two digit code.
# The number of flashes indicates the value of the MSD (tens digit) of the Error Code.
# The flashing then pauses for approximately 1/2 second.
# The LED then flashes indicating the value of the LSD (ones digit) of the Error Code.
# The Error Code is repeated a total of 5 times.
Example: If the Error Code is “23”, the LED will flash two times, pause, and then flash three times.
Note: The TV must be in “Shut Down” and not have been switched Off, to perform the Error Code Operational Check. When the TV is switched Off, the code automatically resets to “12” No Error.
Note: Use the front panel buttons, not the remote control.
Note: If there is no response, the front panel may be locked by a V-Chip setting. To unlock, press and hold <MENU> for 5 seconds.

Manual Keystone Geometry Alignment
Note: If the upper left or right corner geometry is skewed in or out, perform the ASP Mirror Adjustment first.
Note: If only minor edge geometry correction is required, proceed to Phase 3, Keystone Geometry Touchup.
1. Activate the Service Mode <MENU><2-4-5-7>. From the Service Menu, press the <0> button. The Data Selection Menu will appear.

Phase 1 - Cursor Position
1. 16 Adjustment Points are indicated by white dots around the edge of the raster. The adjustment position is indicated by a + cursor.
2. Starting from the upper left corner, use the <LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN> buttons to align the + at each point in a straight line, flush with the bezel as a reference. See example above.
Note: Only the cursor will move. The Geometry Pattern will not change.
3. After adjusting each point, use the <FORWARD> button to shift the cursor to the next point clockwise and repeat until all 16 points have been adjusted.
4. After all 16 points are adjusted and the cursor is returned to the original starting point, press <ENTER>. Correction will be automatically calculated and saved and the Manual Keystone Geometry Alignment will be terminated.

Phase 2 - 4:3 and Letterbox Alignment
1. With the Manual Keystone Geometry Alignment activated, press <VIDEO> to enter the 4:3 Alignment Mode.
The pattern will be displayed starting with the Left Blue 4:3 Line. Press <VIDEO> again for the Right Blue Line.
2. In the 4:3 Alignment Mode, continuing to press <FORWARD> will cause the geometry pattern to be displayed with 11 different preset amounts of correction. Continue pressing <REWIND> or <FORWARD> to cycle through the 11 patterns until you find the one with the straightest 4:3 Mode Line. It may help to count the patterns as you cycle through them. When you find the pattern with the straightest Left Blue 4:3 Line, press <VIDEO>. The pattern with the Right Blue 4:3 Line will be displayed. Repeat the procedure. Press <VIDEO> again and the Top Letterbox Alignment Mode will then be activated as indicated by the Top Red Letterbox Line displayed in the pattern.
3. In the Top Letterbox Alignment Mode, continuing to press <FORWARD> will cause the geometry pattern to be displayed with 15 different preset amounts of correction to the Top Red Letterbox Line. Continue pressing <REWIND> or <FORWARD> to cycle through the 15 patterns until you find the one with the straightest Top Red Letterbox Line. Again, count the patterns as you cycle through them. When you find the pattern with the straightest line, press <VIDEO>. The Bottom Letterbox Alignment Mode will then be activated as indicated by the Bottom Red Letterbox Line displayed in the pattern.
4. In the Bottom Letterbox Alignment Mode, continuing to press <FORWARD> will cause the geometry pattern to be displayed with 10 different preset amounts of correction to the Bottom Red Letterbox Line. Continue pressing <REWIND> or <FORWARD> to cycle through the 10 patterns until you find the one with the straightest Bottom Red
Letterbox Line. Again, count the patterns as you cycle through them. When you find the pattern with the straightest line, press <ENTER> to exit and save the 4:3 and letterbox data.
5. Select the Geometry Test Pattern.If Keystone Geometry is acceptable, press <EXIT> to quit. To touch-up the raster geometry, proceed.
Phase 3 - Keystone Geometry Touch-up
