FUNAI MK7 models.

Not a bad TV in relation (quality price) the picture is very good australia telegram data and clear, but the defect is very expensive. The TMP47C434N processor with firmware R214 fails. The defect manifests itself as follows: with warming up, the graphic image of the settings is distorted (breaks), then the buttons on the front panel of the TV and the remote control stop controlling the TV. In rare cases, the TV can turn off spontaneously.
You can glue a radiator to the processor, but if this helps, then not for long ...
If you change the processor, then install with firmware 514, this chip fails much less often.
If you have a TV with teletext, then consider yourself lucky. You have an R514 processor installed. ATTENTION, you can change R514 instead of R214, but not vice versa.

And one more thing about this TV: the power supply unit contains a 2SB698 transistor (PNP 25V, 0.7A, 0.6W, 250Mhz), it also often fails, it is better to install a 2SA966 (PNP 30V, 1.5A, 0.9W, 120Mhz) instead.

There have been no repeats yet.
And again about the same thing... With the global transition to "digital" another unpleasant moment came out - the transition to AV mode on Funtik is carried out using the remote control - you need to press the "0" button twice.
