Thank you very much for this Service Manual, it helped us a lot to repair the M-4318!
...BUT: The parts list is missing and the free parts katalog on web isn't complete, so now we don't know the part numbers of the defect parts :(
We had to build them out of a working machine, and need the numbers to reorder the missing parts now.
Great manual, thank you, sony kp46s3 service manual perfectly, i am very happy.

Distinguishing method between New Tuner and Old one
If this frame is gray color (old : black), then the New Tuner (S/N:4859719730) is used.
CAUTION
2 Tuners (Old:4859717030, New:4859719730) are not interchangable. Each tuner should be replaced with the same one. But Main PCB Assy ( Old & New ) are interchangable by itself.
