Geometry | Kv32xbr200 serial # 9018039 .unit has ""shoulder roll off"" symptom as described in bulletin 387. tech will be ordering new yoke and needs the part number "" | We have replaced several yokes so far as of 4-2-99 with limited success. performing a complete setup of purity, convergence and geometry setting corrects most of the geometry errors. however this set will not be perfect. | Muller |

Geometry | Kv32xbr200 serial # 9008075 .unit has just had the new crt with the attached yoke replaced today to correct the shoulder roll off symptom as described in bulletin 387. however the new tube and yoke did not solve the vertical pincushion symptom | Bulletin 387 did not mention a plate which was in the old deflection yoke. the missing thl plate needed to be removed from the old yoke and placed in the same slot in the new yoke . after following the new bulletin 387r1 we were able converge the set. | 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 |

Vertical sweep | Kv35v35. unit has not vertical sweep and no sound. | No vertical drive from jungle chip. data and clock normal. jungle chip has been replace several times with no effect. eprom was replaced too with no effect. but the cpu ic001 repaired problem. | Muller |

Vertical lines | Kv32s45. serial # 8047063. unit has a thin vertical lines in picture that are spaced 1 inch apart on the left side of the screen. it can be scene on all inputs. best seen on scenes around 10 ~ 20 ire. | The description sounds like jail bars caused by a ringing in the b+ to the flyback transformer. it is suggested to install a capacitor with a value of 33 mfd at 250 vdc in place on top of chassis in positive side to fb503 and negative side to ground. this simply increases the capacitance on the 130 volt line to the horizontal output section, and reduce ripple caused by the hard demand of current when the flyback is switched on. part # 1-107-654-11. this minimized the effect | Muller |

Vertical | Kv32xbr48 this is a aa2c chassis. the television has no vertical sweep, and no sound. tech replaced the vertical output ic without correcting the symptom | Tech is trying to cure the vertical sweep defect but the not the sound. these are related to each other. this set will not develop vertical sweep unless tsound is data communications between the microprocessor and jungle ic. tech needs to monitor the sda & scl lines that are marked on this chassis. if tsound is a short on either line the set will loose vertical sweep. clue is you need the scl & sda lines to control audio, if a short is on these lines or data is corrupt the set will have no audio too. tsound was no data or clock on the ux board. checking the presence of 9 volts we found it to be only 7 volts. monitoring the protect diode d261 zener diode on the sda line. unit had a defective d261 on the ux | Muller |

Uneven brightness | Kv32s25. unit has bright glow at top of screen. unit had 8 volts at pin 5 of vertical output chip. it is supposed to be ""0"" volts. also unit has no audio. "" | Both 2 and 4 of ic1501 are +12v and -15v.. appears to have the wrong inputs to the vertical output chip. data line shorted to ground. the clock line sitting at 5 volts with no clock signal. removal of the pip module restores the normal operation/ unit has defective pip module. | Muller |

Uneven brightness | This product has a strange glow toward the top of the tube. sort of an out of focus raster but only at the top 1/5 of the tube. | When raising the g2 voltage it was discovered the crt had a uniform brightness wsound the top of the screen was brighter than the rest in the crt. measuring across the vertical yoke windings we found a8.5 volts. it should be ""0"" volts if the vertical output is working. it was also discovered the -15 was missing. tech needs to look at d530 and r537 a 0.47Ω resistor. unit had bad diode, resistor and vertical output "" | Muller |

Tv guide plus | Tv guide plus does not function. when the television is setup for tv guide plus the customer is selecting that they have a vcr and catv box. but they are not using the cable mouse or ir blaster. | The ir blaster is used to communicate from the television to the catv box in order for downloading to occur. if the ir blaster is not used the feature will remain inoperable because when the set downloads the data, it must find the host channel. it uses the ir blaster to replace channels on the catv box in order to find the host channel. in order for this to operate the customer must use the ir blaster. if not they will need to split the cable before it gets to the catv box and deselect any vcr or catv box questions by answering ""n0"" to questions about them in the initial setup menu.

System control | Unit will turn on but not have any raster until the channel is selected. the led in front flashes indefinitely until the channel is selected. after a channel is selected the set will run fine the rest of the day. the unit has high voltage, filaments, & vertical sweep during the no raster condition. | After first turning on the set the cathodes of the crt are measured with an oscilloscope. an interesting fact that after the set is turned on tsound are no visible ik pulses on any of the crt cathodes. ik pulses only appear when the channel is addressed with the remote or the channel up down command on the television. initialization of the eeprom did not correct the symptom. no incorrect values found in the alignment parameters. only by elimination was the trouble found to be in the eeprom. | Muller |
