Image for the RGB input signal
is not displasyed.
Yes
Is the function correspondeing to
selected signal input selected?
Yes
B
Which signal is not output,
main or sub signal?
Main
Has the signal arrived at IC4901?
Yes
Is a signal output from IC4901?
C
(pins 30, 32 and 34)

Yes
Has the signal arrived at IC5101?
(pins 160, 164 and 172)

Yes
Is the communication between
each IC (VDEC, ASIC) on the
MAIN Assy and the microcomputer
normal?
D
Yes
Replace the MAIN Assy.

Yes
Has the signal arrived at IC4701?
No
Check the flexible cables between the CN8802 and
No
CN4004 or between CN9003 and CN4005 or around
of input terminals.
Check around IC4901 and check the
No
communications between IC4901
and microcomuputer. If there was

no ploblem, replace the MAIN Assy.
No
Check the circuit between IC4901 and
IC5101 and replace broken parts.
21
Check around the IC that is found to
No
have failure in communication and
the microcomputer. If there was no
ploblem, replace the MAIN Assy.
