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 |

System control | Kv27f15 the set has a symptom of the keyboard doing the wrong functions. cannot get into the tech menu. when the display button is pushed the set will shut off. | Checking key-in to the i001 we found it to be sitting at 3.7 volts without any keys pushed. this is an analogue input to the cpu and must be at 5 volts with no keys pushed. keyboard had small board contamination on the channel down switch. removing the channel down switch corrected the problem. all remote control functions return to normal and so did the keyboard functions | Muller |

Squeal | Kv35s40unit is making a noise internal to the television that resembles the sound a fax machine makes when listening to it over a telephone connections | These sounds are apparently caused by loose laminations in the linearity transformer. it is suggested the tech replace l511=1-406-607-41, c520= 1-101-821-00(.002 mfd @ 500 vdc) r506 =1-215-861-00(47Ω@ 1 watt metal film) | Muller |

Shut down | Kv35v36 serial 9024090 unit has an intermittent shut down that only occurs after two or three days. when shut down occurs, the led in front is blinking and raster disappears but sound is ok. when flexing, heating, or freezing the main circuit board the problem can never be recreated. | Tech needs to order the crt. since we are not able to confirm any trouble with chassis the crt is nearly out of warranty. it is recommended that since we are unable to determine any chassis fault the problem must be due to crt arc over. note after 4 weeks of normal operation the crt seems to have corrected the symptom. | Muller |

Shut down | Kv32s65 intermittently the set will turn off. this process takes about 30 ~ 60 minutes. the set can be turned back on again if the power button is pressed twice. sometimes the set comes on in the video 1 input mode when it was in the tuner mode before it shut down. | This could be caused by the crt. suggest the tech disconnect the crt socket an run the set with the tube disconnected and see if the set shuts down with the crt disconnected. with the tube disconnected the chassis ran 3 days without shutting down. a crt was substituted and the problem never showed up on the other crt. replaced the crt and it corrected the symptom. | Muller |
