AE-6D SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
The identification of errors within the AE-6D chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous
flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted).

Model Setting
The menu contains a list with all the available models of this software to set up the TV set in an easy way. The selection of a model is setting data for its features and hardware resources which cannot be detected by the automatic power on H/W detection as well as a special model byte to get an unique model identification for models which cannot be differed by features and hardware resources (e.g. KD-32DX100U and KD-32NX100U). Before data is set, the user will be asked if he really wants to set a new model. If the user agrees, the destination setting menu is automatically shown.
