SELF CHECK FEATURE
5.1.1 OUTLINE
This unit comes with the "Self check" feature, which checks the
operational state of the circuit and displays/saves it during
failure.Diagnosis is performed when power is turned on, and
information input to the main microcomputer is monitored at all
time.Diagnosis is displayed in 2 ways via screen display and LED
flashes. Failure detection is based on input state of I
2
C bus and
the various control lines connected to the main microcomputer.
5.1.2 HOW TO ENTER THE SELF CHECK MODE
Before entering the Self check Display mode, confirm that the
setting of
TV/CATV
SW of the REMOTE CONTROL UNIT is at
the
"TV"
side and the setting of

5.1.4 FAILURE HISTORY
Failure history can be counted up to 9 times for each item. When

will be stored in the memory unless it has been deleted.
NOTE:
Only SYNC (with/without sync signals) will be neither counted
nor stored.
5.1.5 POINTS TO NOTE WHEN USING THE SELF CHECK
FEATURE
In addition to circuit failures (abnormal operation), the following
cases may also be diagnosed as "Abnormal" and displayed and
counted as "NG".
(1) Temporary defective transmissions across circuits due to
pulse interruptions
(2) Misalignment in the on/off timing of power for I
2
C bus
(VCC) when turning on/off the main power.
Diagnosis may be impeded if a large number of items are
displayed as "NG". As such, start Self check check only after 3
seconds in the case of receivers and 5 seconds in the case of
panels upon turning on the power. If recurrences are expected,
ensure to clear (reset) the failure history and record the new
diagnosis reults.
