service module, including the metal chassis and logic board
connector with cables.
BasicsUser Controls - 6
User Controls
User controls include
• Soft power-on control from keyboard
• Front-panel sound-control pushbuttons
• Front-panel brightness-control pushbuttons
• Optional infrared remote control
BasicsInternal Expansion Connections - 7
Internal Expansion Connections
Expansion connections on the logic board include
• 2 DRAM SIMM expansion slots
• LC Processor Direct Slot (PDS)
• Communications slot for modems and Ethernet
• Video-in slot for real-time video display, capture, and
overlay
• External video port
An expansion ribbon connector for an optional TV Tuner card
provides NTSC and PAL input from an external TV antenna or
cable.
BasicsIntelligent Device Electronics (IDE) Hard Drive - 8
Intelligent Device Electronics (IDE)
Hard Drive
The internal hard drive uses Intelligent Device Electronics
(IDE) technology, commonly used in DOS-compatible
systems. The IDE hard drive functions the same as a typical
SCSI hard drive. You must replace IDE drives like-for-like.
The IDE drive does not affect SCSI ID selections or SCSI
termination schemes. Seven external SCSI devices may be
daisy-chained through the external SCSI port.
BasicsProcessor Direct Slot (PDS) - 9
Processor Direct Slot (PDS)
The LC-PDS is compatible with the PDS in the Macintosh LC
family of computers, but it is not a true PDS. Like the
expansion slot in the other models in the Power Macintosh
and Performa 5000 series, this expansion slot supports
many PDS cards designed to operate with the MC68030 bus.
While the I/O expansion slot accepts PDS cards designed for
the Macintosh LC family of computers, some of those cards
do not work. PDS cards designed to interact with the main
processor—to provide, for example, a RAM cache or an
FPU—will not work in the I/O expansion slot.
BasicsVideo-In Card - 10
Video-In Card
The Video-In Card is an optional card included with the Apple
Video System. It allows users to digitize video from the TV
Tuner, MPEG Card, and external composite or S-video
inputs. It accepts NTSC, PAL, or SECAM format video and
also provides stereo audio inputs.
Install the Video-In Card into the dedicated 60-pin, 1.75inch video slot.
BasicsMPEG Card - 11
MPEG Card
The MPEG Card is an optional card included with the Apple
MPEG Media System. The MPEG Card requires that the
Video-In Card be installed. It provides hardware
decompression for MPEG movie files, enabling full-screen
(through pixel doubling), 30-frames-per-second, 24-bit
video playback with 16-bit audio. After the MPEG movies
are compressed, they are sent to the Video-In Card, which
converts the data into digital format for output to the screen.
Install the MPEG Card in the processor direct slot.
BasicsTV Tuner Module - 12
TV Tuner Module
The TV Tuner, an optional module included with the Apple
TV/Video System, turns the computer into a television
receiver. The TV Tuner requires the Video-In Card, which is
also included with the Apple TV/Video System. The TV Tuner
receives incoming television signals from cable or antenna
television inputs, and then sends the information to the
Video-In Card, which converts the data for display on the
screen. In the United States, only NTSC is supported, but
PAL and SECAM are available internationally.
Install the TV Tuner in a separate bay at the rear of the
computer, below the logic board.
BasicsTV/FM Radio Tuner Card - 13
TV/FM Radio Tuner Card
The TV/FM radio tuner card turns the computer into a
television and FM radio receiver, complete with remote
control. An expansion ribbon connector for the optional
TV/FM radio tuner card provides NTSC and PAL input from
an external TV antenna or cable. Change channels by typing
the channel number on the keyboard or with the remote
control. Switch between the current and previous channel by
pressing the Tab key. The computer displays the userassigned channel name on the picture in the video window.
Apple Video Player software supports the TV/FM tuner card.
The user can disable channels and require a password to
access the disabled channels. Users can also capture or
freeze a single frame of video or record a segment of video as
a QuickTime movie. It isn’t possible to resize the window
while recording a movie.
BasicsTV/FM Radio Tuner Card - 14
The TV picture is in its own window on the desktop, and the
default size of the window is 320x240 pixels. The picture
can be resized from 160x120 pixels up to 640x480 pixels.
The resolution of the picture does not increase at larger
window sizes, but the image is expanded by doubling the
pixel size or by two-dimensional linear interpolation.
The TV signal is carried in YUV format for improved picture
clarity. The YUV format is 16-bit, with 8 bits for the Y
(luminance) channel and 8 bits for the U and V
(chrominance) channels to share by multiplexing. The
picture is clearer because the YUV format carries more
levels of luminance information.
BasicsTV/FM Radio Tuner Card - 15
The card is available in versions for NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
television systems. The features of the TV tuner include the
following:
• Remote tuner for 181 broadcast and cable channels (U.S.
version)
• Coaxial connector for TV antenna or cable input (F-type
connector in U.S. and Japanese version, IEC-type
connector in Europe)
• TV picture in a resizable and movable window
• YUV format for improved clarity
• Closed captioning and teletext support
• Software password protection
• Automatic and manual channel programming

provides the computer with video output (mirroring).
Install the External Video Connector in a dedicated 3/4inch, 22-pin slot on the logic board.
BasicsApple Presentation System - 18
Apple Presentation System
The Apple Presentation System (APS) is an external module
that uses the 15-pin video output connector on the
computer, and then provides a video signal for a separate
television display or for recording on a VCR. The APS
supports video mirror mode, where the image on the
television display is the same as the computer’s primary
video monitor. The APS is required for video mirroring.
BasicsThe Cuda Chip - 19
The Cuda Chip
The Cuda is a microcontroller chip. Its function is to
• Turn system power on and off
• Manage system resets from various commands
• Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM)
• Manage the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB)
• Manage the real-time clock
Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the Cuda
chip. Press the Cuda reset button on the logic board to reset
the Cuda chip. See the 5400 or 5260/5280 logic board
