CAUTION
These servicing instructions are for use by qualied service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing
other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualied to do so.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
CARRYING THE TV
arry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.
orrect hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid
damage.
WARNING!!
An isolation transformer should be used during any service to avoid possible shock hazard, because of live chassis. The chassis of this
receiver is directly connected to the AC power line.
!SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT WARNING!!
Components identied by shading and ! mark on the exploded views are critical for safe operation.
Replace all components with Sony parts whose part numbers appear as shown in this manual or in supplements published by Sony. It is
essential that all critical parts be replaced only with the part number specied in this manual to prevent electric shock, re, or other hazard.
Circuit adjustments that are critical for safe operation are identied in this manual.
Follow these procedures whenever critical components are replaced or improper operation is suspected.
NOTE: Do not modify the original design without obtaining written permission from the manufacturer or you will void the original parts and
labor guarantee.

KDL-40NX715/46NX715 4
HANDLING THE GLASS ASSEMBLY
Use the following precautionary guidelines when replacing the Glass Assembly to avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
and ensure that dust, dirt, or ngerprints are not left between the glass and the LCD panel.
R Replace the Glass Assembly in a brightly lit and clean room.
R Place the replacement Glass Assembly on a dark cloth to make it easier to see dust and dirt particles.
R Wear anti static gloves to avoid leaving nger prints on the glass.
R Use a dry, soft MicroFiber cloth, such as a lint free polishing cloth, to gently wipe the glass to remove any dust or dirt particles.
R If the glass needs additional cleaning, slightly moisten the cloth with a diluted mild soap or mild detergent solution, or use a compressed
air duster (spray can type).
R After replacing the Glass Assembly, verify there are no dark spots or nger prints visible on the screen.
CAUTION
W Do Not use paper towels, any type of abrasive pad, rags, rubber or vinyl materials to clean the screen. Using these materials could easily
scratch the screen which may result in permanent damage.
W Do Not se any cleaning product containing alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, ammonia, benzene,
thinner or insecticide. Using any of these harsh cleaners may result in permanent damage to the screen.
W Do Not spray water or detergent directly onto the TV screen . If liquid drips into the bottom of the screen it may cause a failure.
WARNING AND CAUTIONS

KDL-40NX715/46NX715 5
SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS WHEN REPLACING THE LCD PANEL ASSEMBLY
Use the following precautionary guidelines when handling the LCD Panel Assembly to avoid material degradation or screen coating
degradation, and ensure that dust, dirt, or ngerprints are not left between the glass and the LCD Panel Assembly.
1. After removing the boards and connectors, note where the frame is on the panel. (See Figure 1)
2. Lift the LCD Panel Assembly by holding the top and bottom of the panel approximately 200mm from the edge with your palms on the
back of the panel. (See Figure 2)
CAUTION: Lifting or holding the panel at the corners may damage the panel.
3. Use the same method when taking the replacement panel out of the carton. (See Figure 3)
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
CAUTION: DO NOT lift the LCD Panel by holding the short side of the panel or by placing your palms on the front glass.
(See Figures 4 & 5)
Figure 4 Figure 5
WARNING AND CAUTIONS

KDL-40NX715/46NX715 6
USE CAUTION WHEN HANGLING THE LCD PANEL ASSEMBLY
When repairing the LCD Panel Asembly, be sure you are grounded by using a wrist band.
When installing the LCD Panel Asembly on a wall, the LCD Panel Asembly must be secured using the 4 mounting holes on the rear cover.
1) Do not press on the panel or frame edge to avoid the risk of electric shock.
2) Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects.
3) Do not leave the module in high temperatures or in areas of high humidity for an extended period of time.
4) Do not expose the LCD Panel Asembly to direct sunlight.
5) Avoid contact with water. It may cause a short circuit within the module.
6) Disconnect the AC power when replacing the backlight or inverter circuit.
(High voltage occurs at the inverter circuit at 650Vrms.)
7) Always clean the LCD Panel Asembly with a soft cloth material.
8) Use care when handling the wires or connectors of the inverter circuit. Damaging the wires may cause a short.
9) Protect the panel from ESD to avoid damaging the electronic circuit (C-MOS).
10) During the repair, DO NOT leave the Power On for more than 1 hour while the TV is face down on a cloth.
SAFETY-RELATED WARNING

KDL-40NX715/46NX715 7
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes and
SAFETY CHECK-OUT
bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or touching
high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and mounting
hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain that you have replaced
all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were
installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration.
Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the replacement
of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs, screws, and
all other exposed metal parts for AC leakage. Check leakage as described
below.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all
exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must
not exceed 0.5 mA(500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by
any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A.
Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to use these instructions.
2. A battery-operated AC milliampmeter. The Data Precision 245 digital
multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-
operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters
must have an accurate low voltage scale.
The Simpson’s 250 and Sanwa SH-63TRD are examples of passive VOMs
that are suitable. Nearly all battery-operated digital multimeters that have a
2 VAC range are suitable (see Figure A).
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is a guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate retaining screw
on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground.
If the retaining screw is to be used as your earth ground, verify that it is at
ground by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-water pipe with an
ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms.
If a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60-to 100-watt trouble-light (not
a neon lamp) between the hot side of the receptacle and the retaining screw.
Try both slots, if necessary, to locate the hot side on the line; the lamp should
light at normal brilliance if the screw is at ground potential (see Figure B).

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONS
SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The units in this manual contain a self-diagnostic function. If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will automatically begin to ash. The number
of times the LED ashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A denition of the STANDBY LED ash indicators is listed in the
instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to
review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will ash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than
one error, the LED will identify the rst of the problem areas.
Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen.
If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .
