Screen temperature | Kv36xbr200 serial 9016329. on the far extreme left and right side of the screen the picture has a yellow color temperature wsound it should be white. | When looking at a blue raster at 60 ire the blue does not have uniform brightness across the screen. the light output is not the same level at the area of the screen wsound we see the yellow with a 60 ire white screen. we are not able to adjust the blue to make it equal in brightness in all areas of the screen.. this is a defective crt. customer does not want the set requesting a replacement. under 30 day | Muller |

Geometry | Kv36xbr200. serial 9016768. "" unit has pincushion error o the top of screen. area around the extreme edges of the fields do not have straight lines. horizontal lines have a shoulder roll off. tech ordered yoke specific to bulletin # 387 , but received the complete crt. i held off replacing the crt due to three of these have been changed so far with no changes in the symptom "" | Bulletin 387 did not mention a thl plate which needed to be adjusted was in the old deflection yoke. after following the new bulletin 387r1 we were able converge the set. also the new tube needed 3 magnetic on the bell of the tube to correct a purity error and converge the lower right hand corner. | Muller |

Arcing | Kv36xbr200 unit has an intermittent arc over that will shut down the television. | The best way to tell if the arcing is related to the hv lead which may be breaking down is to use a high voltage probe. connect the ground to the crt ground and run the tip of the high voltage probe over all high voltage connections & wires. if an arc is drawn to the probe tip this would mean that a break down in the insulation has occurred. this test revealed a break down in the high voltage connection at the high voltage anode button. the silicone sealant did not seal between the hv button and hv cup. cleaning the area around the anode button, replacing the anode cap and resealing the connection with high voltage silicone sealant. | Muller |

Tuning | Kv32fv1 serial 9002390 main tuner will not tune any channels but the pip tuner is fine. tuner was changed without any change in the symptom. set just displays snow on all channel from the main tuner and the osd for main channel display is normal. | I had tech check the b+ on the tuner that are stamped on the board. the 9, 30 & 5 volts are normal. the scl line is only 2 volts and the sda line is 4.6. the scl line is the trouble. tech did not have an oscilloscope but since the scl line for this tuner is the same for the pip tuner we concluded the cpu was not at fault. tsound appeared to be an open between the scl of the main tuner and cn1101(6). since the traces on the cba are so thin the and no cracks in the board material could be seen the decision was to install a small jumper wire between these two points. this corrected the | Muller |

Focus | Kv32fv1 unit has poor focus on the left and right side of screen but ok in the center. if the focus control is varied through its range the sides will become in focus with the center out of focus. | Since this set has the super flat crt. it incorporates a dynamic focus circuit. in other words the focus voltage varies as the beam travels from left to right. measuring the horizontal parabolic wave form up to the input of the primary of the df transformer, we found the signal to be normal. we were unable to measure the voltages further because they were potentially focus voltage potential. the horizontal parabolic wave form enters the flyback at the secondary of the df transformer. unit had defective flyback transformer. | Muller |

Wrong color | Kv35xbr48 serial 01901543. customer using this television on a dvd player and has it connected through the ""yuv"" inputs. the gray scale is favoring the green color temperature even if no color is present on the screen. playing back the same signal in the composite input or the s-video input the color temperature is normal with normal black and white tracking. it is thought that a separate black and white tracking or rgb drive adjustment in the yuv mode will solve this trouble. "" | According to sony tsound isn't any drive adjustments in the yuv mode. this symptom shows up on another sony television of the same model. sony claims this is a normal function and tsound are no plans to address this phenomena. tsound is nothing wrong with the television it is operating as designed. | Muller |

Video | Kv32v20. unit has poor contrast. tech has to raise the g2 just to get a raster. when the raster appears the picture is washed out and lacking good contrast ratio. | Gaining a little more information from the tech i found out the set actually had a ""no raster"" condition, and the timer led was flashing. the g2 was increased tin order to get this washed out picture. the probable cause of this problem is the ik pulses may be too low for the jungle ic to correctly interpret them. by raising the g2 voltage the ik pulses are raised up to a point wsound the jungle will acknowledge them. but by then the rgb drive is too great and a overdrive condition occurs on the crt. tech needs to check the components in the ""ik bμFfer circuit on the ""c: board d1792= 3.9 volt zener diode, & q1790=2sa1309a "" | Muller |

Vertical sweep | Kv36fv1 unit has insufficient vertical sweep and vertical foldover at the bottom of the screen. | Suggest the tech try to replace the charge pump diode and pump up capacitor d561 & c565. this did not correct the symptom. but it was found while moving the wires around the yoke connector the symptom replaced slightly. but when tugging on the wiring going into the deflection yoke the tech found a significant replace in the vertical deflection scan. tsound isn't a schematic for the yoke assembly but a small connector inside the yoke housing wsound the 3 controls were mounted. the connector is called p16.it was not soldered very well. it had thin solder across the land to the pin but what looks like pin oxidation it from making a good electrical connection. resoldering the connection returned the set to | Muller |
