KV-32FV27 / 36FS13 / 36FS17 / 36FV27 SAFETY CHECK-OUT Leakage Test After correcting the original service problem, perform the following The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from safety checks before releasing the set to the customer: all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes).
KV-32FV27 / 36FS13 / 36FS17 / 36FV27 Self Diagnosis SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION Supported model The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY/TIMER LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY/TIMER LED flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference.

Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega Presenting the FD Trinitron Wega The FD Trinitron Wega (pronounced VAY-GAH) is characterized by outstanding contrast, uncompromising accuracy, and corner-to- corner detail. You will recognize the superiority of Wega technology almost immediately. The first thing you will probably notice is minimal glare from the flat picture tube.
Introducing the FD Trinitron Wega Package Contents Along with your new Trinitron TV, the packing box contains a remote control and two AA batteries. These items are all you need to set it up and operate the TV in its basic configuration. Most peripherals come with the necessary cables to connect them.

Installing the TV Cable and Antenna If your cable provider does not feature local channels, you may find (KV-36FS17 only) this set-up convenient. CATV cable Rear of TV TO CONVERTER (No connection to TO CONVERTER) VHF/UHF Rear of TV Antenna cable To receive channels using an antenna, instead of using the CATV cable Select antenna mode by pressing the ANT button on the remote control.
Page 132
(Continued from the previous page) Installing the TV Connect the Cable TV cable to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. Using a coaxial cable, connect the TV’s TO CONVERTER jack to the cable box’s IN jack. The TV’s internal converter allows you to switch between unscrambled signals coming straight into the TV and scrambled signals coming in through the cable box, eliminating the need for an external splitter.
Page 133
Installing the TV Cable Box only Use this hookup if: You subscribe to a cable TV system that scrambles or encodes all signals, requiring a cable box to view all channels, and You do not intend to hook up any other audio or video equipment to your TV.
Installing the TV Connecting a VCR and Cable Use this hookup if you subscribe to a cable TV (CATV) system that does not require a cable box. Connect the CATV cable to the VCR’s IN jack. Using a coaxial cable, connect the VCR’s OUT jack to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
Installing the TV Connecting a VCR and Cable Box (KV-36FS17 only) Use this hookup if: Your cable TV company scrambles some channels, but not all of them (pay channels vs. regular cable channels) and you therefore need to use a cable box, and You want to use the PIP feature.

Installing the TV Connecting Two VCRs for Tape Editing If you connect two VCR’s together, so you can record from one to the other, you may want to monitor the recording process. You can connect the recording VCR into your TV and then view what is being recorded.
Installing the TV Connecting a Satellite Receiver Connect the satellite antenna cable to the satellite receiver’s SATELLITE IN jack. Using an A/V cable, connect the satellite receiver’s Audio and Video OUT jacks to the TV’s Audio and Video IN jacks. Connect a coaxial cable from your cable or antenna to the TV’s VHF/UHF jack.
