• Switches off then starts up again, mostly when cold. When TV works, sound mute and background noise, but sound reappears at channel switch over. (FF376 tips)
• Picture is missing, random lines on screen.
• Automatically changes channels and goes into standby.
• No picture content. After switching on bright picture with colour flecks, same picture without HF signal. Sound OK. (FF376 SABA repair tip)
• Shuts down (intermittently). (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Switches off for a short time then returns on programme 1 (early F15 chassis). (SABA - FF376 information)
• No sound or vision. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• No stereo reception on channel 60.
• Bright picture. Flyback lines.
• Faulty raster. Vertical jitter. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Does not switch standards, remains in PAL.
• Random OSD characters all over screen. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• No Canal Plus decoding.
• Channel 60 and special channels flicker. U6 (30V) is too low. (FF376 tip from SABA)
• No B-Y. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Power supply switches off for a short time (hiccup) when channel is switched over.
• The picture amplitude is too small. The whole of the picture is recorded in the lower half of the screen. (service info for SABA -FF376)
• Channel raster has shifted by two or more channels.
• No stereo reception on channel 60.
• Power supply switches off.
• No signal. after a few minutes.
• Spare part no. info: Power supply repair kit.
• No red in picture or TXT. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Appliance has no HF reception. Snowy picture. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• No audio.
• No TXT. No tuning. No OSD. (picture attached)
• Anomaly due to built in switch.
• The appliance starts up after a few mins.
• Popping noise at switch on. (Nicam model). (service info for SABA -FF376)

• No brightness. Audio OK .
• Receives no HF signals. Band change is not possible.
• TV goes off and switches on again three times then goes into safety mode.
• No audio.
• Clicking on NICAM. (SABA - FF376 information)
• Picture jumps and vertical distorsion according to video content, mostly on second station, channel 21. Intermittent fault.
• Functions well but occasionally picture turns grainy as if there was a reception fault. Occasionally 5 and 6 disappear. IF screening ok.
• Intermittent crackle on sound.
• Poor chrominance of black/white with colour at zero.
• Occasionally colour fails.
• OSD rolls. (+ extract of circuit diagram)
• Poor start up, RC must be pressed for a long time. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Colour cuts out occasionally.
• Red picture (after a while).
• Colour bleeding.
• Only the green LED on.
• No tuning.
• Vertical fault.
• Service info: Function of the E/W stage.
• No signal.
• The appliance switches to BG standard.
• Occasionally dead, then snow. Goes into standby by the RCU and only starts up again after 30 secs.
• Displaced channels eg. M6 on channel 41 instead of 50. No channels between channel 21 and 36. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Flyback lines. at top. (with circuit diagram extract)
• Reduced field scan 2in scan approx 1/4in from top. 9 white lines within scan. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
• Tuning drifts (after a while).
