Chroma | Sony kp53s35 . unit has poor chroma of the main picture. | It appears like a loss of chroma phase lock of the 3.58 internal oscillator. the frequency is unstable. recommend tech resolder the connections on x301, c305, c310 and r322 in the afcfl circuit of the jungle ic. this is ic301 near pins 1, 2, and 3.. unit had broken connection on r322. | Muller |

Audio | Kp53xbr45 serial # unit has history of the ""gb"" board shorting out the switching transistors in the switcher supply. q1201, & q1202 short with r1206 opening. by simply replacing the transistors and c1210, c1211, c1212, and c1213 the power supply will run for 3 to 5 weeks then short the switching transistors again. the customer explained that they lost audio while the set was playing. the sound quality was normal up until the event that took place to short the switching transistors. this has happened 2 times. tech is wondering if tsound are any other case histories regarding this symptom. "" | Suggest the tech look at replacing the following components d1204, d1205, d1209, d1208, d1206, d1207, d1210, & d1211. these are the limiting diodes and have a generic # 1ss133t. in addition tsound are 2 zener diodes in the secondary of this power supply that are used as protection they are d1213, and d1214. they will act like a crowbar across the + or - 18 volt power supply in the event the voltage increases beyond the avalanche limits of the zener diodes. in addition to the components i would suggest the tech replace ic1201 | Muller |

Audio | Kp61xbr45. unit has no audio.. when an external amp is connected to the line outputs the set will produce line level audio to the external amp. | Tech is not getting b+ to any of the audio output ic's on the ""k"" board. apparently the ""gb"" board is not providing the b+ necessary for the audio to turn on. tech needs to check the condition of the 4 fusible resistors in the +18 & -18 volt supply. r1217, r1273, r1297, r1295 "" | Muller |

System control | Sony kv2084 will not memorize any channels. tech ordered the cpu and memory ic. | I asked tech to check the negative supply voltage to ic103 memory ic on 10, it should be -29 vdc before replacing the cpu and memory ic. cpu was not needed. verified the presence of the supply voltages at the memory chip. the memory chip was defective. | Muller |

Red raster | Sony kv27ts27 ln-1 chassis predominately red picture. | When shorting out the rgb cathodes on the crt the set will get a perfect black and white picture but shorting out the rgb inputs on the crt board the set is missing green. trouble is a defective green output transistor. | Muller |

Horizontal | Kv32xbr50 unit has sever horizontal overscan. measuring q505(c ) the voltage was near ""0"" volts. tech changed q501 but the transistor shorted in less than 5 seconds. "" | It was discovered that the q505 was shorting collector to emitter. also r571 was also showing signs of overheating. it was suggested that l501 & r571 be replace with a new q505. the set now runs correctly. | Muller |

Poor color | Kv32xbr76. unit has poor color registration but color bars appear near normal. but when cross hair pattern is put up on the screen tsound are no blue vertical line. tsound are red and green vertical line | This symptom is a result of a high frequency loss. the ability for the amplifiers in the b drive to turn on an off rapidly is a direct result of how high the bandwidth is. in this case the three outputs of the jungle ic301(20,22,&23) had the typical signal when viewed on an oscilloscope. all three outputs had the same vertical spike in the center of the horizontal line on the oscilloscope scope. waveform showing the cross hair | Muller |

No high voltage | Kv32xbr76 unit will not turn on no high voltage. measuring the condition of the d1409 is shorted. | The problem is caused by d1409 on the a board shorting. problem caused by an intermittent b+ regulator on the g board, ic651, 1-809-524-11. replacement resolves problem. we have seen a number of these units lately with d1409 shorted. often it is simply ring cracks on ic651 causing the problem. this unit did have a 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 | Muller |

Horizontal sweep | Kv32xbr95s unit has an extremely wide picture. | I had tech look at q501(e) the voltage should be about 16 volts. this is the pin modulator input for pincushion correction. in this tv it was 2 volts. a resistance check finds theΩ value to be under 10Ω. tech needs to check | Muller |
