REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

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.

The electrical adjustments can be performed using the remote commander RM-42B supplied with the PFM-42B1/B1E. The remote commander has the Service Mode. Select the Service Mode to perform the electrical adjustments as listed below.
Service Menu
When you enter the Service Mode, the mode menu appears as shown below. The mode menu contains the three menus of MAIN MENU, SERVICE MENU and MANUA MENU as shown. Select the SERVICE MENU to perform the electrical adjustments.
How to enter the Service Mode using the RM-42B: In the STAND-BY state, press the keys in the following order.
[DISPLAY] > [5] >  [BRT+] > [ON]
How to enter the Service Mode using the commanders other than RM-42B: In the STAND-BY state, press the keys in the following order.
[DISPLAY] >  [5] > [VOL+] > [POWER]
How to exit the Service Mode :
Press the ON key once and back on to enter the STAND-BY state or turn off the main power to exit the Service Mode.
Operation of remote commander in the Service Mode
The four keys of MENU, ENTER, SELECT+ and SELECT_ are the basic operation keys in the same manner as in the user adjustment. The other keys can be operated in the same manner as in the user adjustment.
EEPROM RESET EEPROM Configuration
The entire area or the respective areas of the EEPROM can be separately initialized.
Select the desired area of EEPROM to be initialized
To initialize the desired area, firstly select the desired item from the EEPROM RESET menu. Change the selected item from CANCEL to EXECUTE. Then press ENTER.
a) WHOLE AREA
The entire area of the EEPROM is initialized. Initializing the entire area of the EEPROM has the same result as all menu items of COMMON, COLOR TEMP, PROG. PRESET, FIXED PRESET, LAST MEMORY, USER MEMORY and FACTORY are executed.
b) COMMON
Only the COMMON area of the EEPROM is initialized. When the COMMON area is initialized, the data that is unique to the particular machine and the common data (CONFIG MENU, REMOTE MENU) are initialized.
c) COLOR TEMP
Only the COLOR TEMP area of the EEPROM is initialized. When the COLOR TEMP area is initialized, the color temperature data in HIGH, LOW and the user setup data from 1 to 6 are initialized to 255. The users names are also initialized to “1” to “6”.
d) PROG. PRESET
Only the PROG. PRESET area of the EEPROM is initialized. When the PROG. PRESET area is initialized, the preset area (for 20 types) that is reserved as spare is initialized.
e) FIXED PRESET
Only the FIXED PRESET area of the EEPROM is initialized. When the FIXED PRESET area is initialized, the basic
preset area is initialized to the built-in standard value that is stored in the system controller.
f) LAST MEMORY
Only the LAST MEMORY area of the EEPROM  is initialized. When the LAST MEMORY area is initialized, only the last memory data of every signal that is adjusted by
 user is initialized.
g) USER MEMORY
Only the USER MEMORY area of the EEPROM  is initialized. When the USER MEMORY area is initialized, all of the 20 types of adjustment data that is saved by the MEMORY function of the user menu are initialized to EMPTY.
h) FACTORY
Only the FACTORY area of the EEPROM is initialized. When the FACTORY area is initialized, all areas of the MEMORY except the areas that are listed below are initialized.
Items that are not initialized by the “FACTORY” RESET function.
