Error Codes
The error code buffer contains all errors detected since the last
time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left to
right. When an error occurs that is not yet in the error code
buffer, it is displayed at the left side and all other errors shift one
position to the right.
Basically there are five kind of errors:
Error code
Event
0x01
Audio Decode Error
0x02
IIC bus Error
0x03
Tuner Error
0x04
NVRAM Error

Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a Service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. and offers the following:
1. ComPair features TV software upgrade possibilities.
2. ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how
to repair the chassis in a short and effective way (this
feature is not supported in this chassis).
3. ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics and is therefore
capable of accurately indicating problem areas. You do not
have to know anything about I2C or UART commands
yourself, because ComPair takes care of this this feature is
not supported in this chassis).
4. ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automatically communicate with the chassis (when the uP
is working) and all repair information is directly available
this feature is not supported in this chassis).
Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The (new) ComPair II interface box is connected to the PC via
an USB cable. For the TV chassis, the ComPair interface box
and the TV communicate via a bi-directional cable via the
service connector(s).

Caution: It is compulsory to connect the TV to the PC as
shown in the picture above (with the ComPair interface in
between), as the ComPair interface acts as a level shifter. If
one connects the TV directly to the PC (via UART), ICs will be
blown!
