Panasonic TC-P50S1, TC-P46S1, TC-P42X1, TC-P50X1 manual Blinks Error Code TC-P42S1, Slide #45

6 Blinks Error Code (TC-P42S1)

The Scan and Sustain voltages on the SC and SS boards are monitored by an SOS Detect circuit. The energy recovery circuit in the SC board is monitored by a comparator (Error detect IC16581). The output voltage is compared to 2 reference voltages derived from the P15V. If the output of this circuit drops below 5.2 or goes above 11.8V, the output of the comparator IC6581 goes high to trigger the “Energy Recovery” SOS line. This high is provided to the Panel CPU on the A board. The TV shuts down and the power LED blinks 6 times.
