SONY KV36FV1
AA-2 		Focus Kv36fv1 customer is running the television on a dss satellite system. customer claims the set looses focus in the picture when tsound is a lot of detailed movement. This is caused by the 10 megabit throughput limit of the dss video compression format mpeg3. in order for the compression to work correctly the digitization process only updates the data that is changing. background data is not updated as regularly as the foreground data. hence when everything must get updated. but the max data throughput is finite. the entire video waveform will not be accurately represented, instead the smaller detailed portions of the picture will begin to have larger pixels so not to exceed the max data. this is why to the eye the set appears to loose resolution or picture detail. this is normal.

AA-2 		Dead Unit is dead. after talking to customer they explained that they had a power surge caused by a car hitting a power pole. The set was completely dead. vdr602 was noticeably burned up. cutting this device our of the circuit found that it was open. however the device is connected in the circuit like a metal oxide varistor. it should measure open since it is in parallel with the a.c. line. it was discovered that no other shorted components could be found in the primer of the power supply. main line fuse was not blown! checking the raw ac voltage on the ac line filters t601, and t602 find that we have no ac voltage on the output of t602 but present on the input side. isolating the open coil and removing the defective vdr602 allows the set to turn on and operate correctly. tech will need to replace t602 and Muller
SONY KV27V65
AA-2 		Dead Unit is dead tech replaced the ic601 and r607 and the flyback, but when power was reapplied the set destroyed the power supply again. Unit had a blown ic601 and r607. tech had failed to check the condition of the power supply output for the 135 vdc power supply.. it was discovered tsound was a 1.2Ω short to ground caused by a shorted protect diode in the secondary of the power supply. i cannot stress enough the tech needs to check all loads on the secondary of the power supply for shorts, and use a variac to start up all power supplies. all parts replaced earlier are destroyed and need to be replaced Muller
SONY KV32XBR48
AA-2 		Dead Originally dead with shorted ic601 converter ic and horizontal output transistor shorted too. Checking the collector of the horizontal output transistor the retrace period was running in excess of 20 microseconds not the traditional 11.5 microseconds. closer inspection found the deflection yoke leads inside the connector were loose and the crimp for the wire to the horizontal winding were not making contact to the terminal inside the connector.

SONY KV35S26
AA-2 		Dead Kv35s36 serial 9027801 unit goes dead after 10 minutes after the power supply was repaired.q601 & q602 were not running hot they just shorted. they were replace 4 times. each time the transistors lasted 10 minutes and in 1 case 1 week. After running the television for over 1 hour with the crt disconnected it was determined the power supply, deflection, and horizontal deflection were all working. it was further decided to replace the crt needs to be replaced. crt fixed the unit. Muller
SONY KV32XBR48
AA-2 		Dead Kv32xbr48. originally dead with shorted ic601 converter ic and horizontal output transistor shorted too. the horizontal drive looked odd, but this was not the problem. Checking the collector of the horizontal output transistor the retrace period was running in excess of 20 microseconds not the traditional 11.5 microseconds. closed inspection was found the deflection yoke leads inside the connector were loose and the crimp for the wire to the horizontal winding were not making contact to the terminal inside the connector. cleaning the terminal and prepping the connection was necessary because tsound was evidence they were burned by the voltage drop in the poor connection . Muller
SONY KV32V40
AA-2 		Dead Kv32v40 unit was originally dead. q502 was replaced. now set has a sever over scan of horizontal sweep. collector of q512 only 2 volts q512 was shorted. l511 is burned and needs to be changed, along with d504 d503, d502, c511, c513, and l511. After replacement of the components the sweep was still excessive. when using an oscilloscope on the ic351(31) the e/w pin out we found 6 volts dc, and no 60 hz parabolic wave form. if this e/w output pint was touched to ground through a 270Ω resistor the picture narrowed up to a an almost normal width. product had defective ic351. Muller
SONY KV32S40
AA-2 		Dead Kv32s40 unit will run for several days then it will short the horizontal output transistor and destroy the power supply ic601 This product was brought into the shop wsound the set was operated with the crt disconnected for approximately 100 hours continuously. it ran fine. but 6 hours after the crt was connected the horizontal output and power supply self destructed again. unit has defective crt suggest the tech replace the crt Muller
SONY KV32S40
AA-2 		Dead Kv32s40 serial 8001469. unit had the power supply ic601 shorted and open r607. tech replaced these components and it shorted out again at the instant the television is plugged in. I never recommend that after replacing these components in the power supply that the set have full line voltage applied to it. the odds are very high the new components will be instantly. suggested the tech use a variac to do these tests. this power supply should start running at 10 vac as a line power supply. the current should never go above 100 ma during a no load test. max 800 ma during a normal load. when running this power supply at 15 volts the current was surging to over 200 ma. checking al the loads on the secondary found no obvious short circuits. however when checking the capacitors in the primary we found c610 has internal resistance of 470k, tsound should be no internal resistance. replaced c610 and restored normal operation. suggest that c609, c610, c611, and c612 be automatically replaced Muller
SONY KV27V22
AA-2 		Convergence Kv27v22 serial # 8051260 will not converge the bottom red green or blue horizontal lines Unit has over 6 permaloy magnetic on the crt bell in the area of the bottom of the yoke. this is not a good sign. it is also a rebuilt crt. we are not going to place more permaloy strips on this crt. it needs replacement. Muller
SONY KV32V15
AA-2 		Color banding Sony kv32v15 serial 9013716 aa-2d unit has horizontal banding of purple and red at top of screen. if the color was reduced the banding would disappear. color bar did not have a normal appearance Resistor r354 was not soldered in correctly. the resistor is in the color afc circuitry. it had a .15 ms ripple on it causing a phase shift in the chroma in the first 4 to 5 inches on the picture. problem was caused by a glue used to secure the surface mounted resistor. the glue prevented a good connection of the resistor to the pad. cleaning the glue away and resoldering corrected the symptom. Muller
SONY KV27V20
AA-2 		Closed caption Sony kv27v20.unit has intermittent symptom of closed caption coming up on screen. cust claims they cannot turn off the closed caption option. Unable to see any problem with circuitry, and id codes are correct. all appears normal. setting all cc1 ~ cc4 and teletext 1 and 2 to the ""minus"" option this effectively shuts off the closes caption feature. instruct customer to operation od "" Muller
SONY KV27V20
AA-2 		Closed caption No closed caption on premium channels The tech needs to set the id codes to the following id0=25, id1=19, id2=47, id3=0, id4=27, id5=3, id6=0, id7=0. if these are ok then the tech will need to replace the ic001 with an upgraded version per bulletin 329r1 original generic # is cxp85640-004s, the new generic # is cxp856p40s-1 part number t-935-001-61 Muller

AA-2 		Closed caption Kv27v20 serial 8015729 unit does not have closed caption on premium channels See bulletin 329r original cpu cxp85640-005s the new device is cxp85640-006s Muller
SONY KV27V20
AA-2 		Closed caption Kv27v20 8015729 no closed caption on premium channels These are ok then the tech will need to replace the ic001 with an upgraded version per bulletin 329r1 original generic Muller
SONY KV27S20
AA-2 		Closed caption Kv27s20 serial # 7042141 unit will not operate in the closed caption mode if using the dvd player. however if the television operates in the tuner mode for over the air telecasts, closed caption works fine. Tech needs to order ic001= t-935-001-61 per bulletin r329r1. after replacement the tech will need to enter the tech menu and select ""criw"" and replace it from 15 to 3. also check the ""lblk"" must be 7, ""rblk"" must be 7 and ""hbswo"" must be 0. at this point save the new data and "" Muller
SONY KV35XBR48
AA-2 		Chroma Unit is connected in to component video input mode through a dvd player. the picture has a predominately green picture When operating a different dvd player the symptom is the same. tsound is no cure to this phenomin from sony at this time Muller
SONY KV35XBR20 0
AA-2 		Chroma Kv36xbr200 when the customer is using the rf input labeled vhf/uhf the set will picture will lose chroma intermittently. but when using the aux input the chroma is solid and does not vary. the tech replaced the rf switch without effecting the symptom. The customer is using two different rf power supplys. cable tv and a satellite dish. the catv is being feed into the rf input labeled vhf/μHf and the satellite is fed into the aux input. it appears the tuner does not correct the aft when two different rf power supplys are used. the channel will has to be readdressed again for any aft correction to occur. suggest the customer used the satellite in the s-video and separate video input mode. in his present configuration the customer is loosing all stereo reception, and all high frequency detail over. this corrected the symptom.
