AIM: The objective of this practical session is to observe different faults in television system
and troubleshoot each fault.

TOOLS:
Television set
Multi-meter
Pattern generator
Trainer M25E/EV
Remote control with batteries
Power cords
BNC Antenna connector and coaxial cable.

PROCEDURES:

WORKING ENVIROMENT SETUP

Switch the TV set on with the switch on the front side of the card be sure that the antenna
or a TV generator is connected with the antenna connector tune to a channel according to
the following instructions:
Select the programme 1 by pressing the or buttons
Press the MENU button
Press the VOL+ or VOL- buttons until PRESET is displayed
Press or buttons until COLOUR SYS is displayed
Press the VOL+ or VOL- buttons until AUTO is displayed
Press the MENU button three times, to quit, to save and to enter again
Press the VOL+ or VOL- buttons until PRESET is displayed
Press the VOL+or VOL- buttons until MANUAL TUNE is displayed
Press the VOL+ or VOL- buttons to search the higher or lower
Channel, and consequently the programme to be found
Press the button until SOUND SYS is displayed
Press the VOL+ or VOL- buttons until the frequency of the sound subcarrier used in the
standard (4.5/5.5/ 6.0/6.5 mhz) is displayed: this will enable to listen to the audio
Press the MENU button twice, to quit and save
Change the controls (from remote control or from local keyboard)
And make sure of their functioning.

FAULT INSERTION
Remove the locked cover of the compartment of the switches for fault insertion.
Turn off the TV set before inserting any fault.
Turning one of these switches to ON will insert the corresponding fault.
After the troubleshooting, switch the TV set off, remove the fault inserted before and
switch the TV set on again.
