2. GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
2.1. SERVICE INFORMATION
2.1.1. MICROPROCESSOR RESET
When the Microprocessor IC6001, MAIN C.B.A. and/or Back-up Battery B6001 are replaced, read following
procedure carefully and proceed it.
Reasons:
There is a RAM in the IC6001, which is backing up:
1. TV Tuning Data.
2. PG shifter Adjustment Data
3. Option Setting Data
When IC6001, MAIN C.B.A. and/or Back-up Battery B6001 are replaced, all above listed data become not
available.
These data are backing up by using the power source of:
AC connected: AC Power source
AC Disconnected: Back-up Battery B6001
Method:
Before replacing IC6001, MAIN C.B.A. and/or B6001:
1. Take a note that stored TV broadcasts channels.(Because , its user may store TV broadcasts by manually other than
"Auto Tuning" operation and it is also erased.)
After replacing IC6001, MAIN C.B.A. and/or B6001:
