TOPIC: Troubleshoot the DM-1
SYMPTOM: No signal in the menu
If when trying to view Satellite channels you get “searching for signal” the problem may be that the 13/18 voltage
coming from the DM-1 is missing. Place the unit is standby and hook a voltmeter on the satellite RF input (center is
positive and outside shield is ground). Watch for the voltage to go from 13 volts to 18 volts. If the voltage is there, the
problem is at the dish. You need to check the multi-switch or the LNB’s. If the voltage is not there, you need to troubleshoot
the DM-1 power supply.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT OPERATE THIS INSTRUMENT OR PERMIT IT TO BE
OPERATED WITHOUT ALL PROTECTIVE DEVICES
INSTALLED AND FUNCTIONING. SERVICERS WHO DEFEAT
SAFETY FEATURES OR FAIL TO PERFORM SAFETY CHECKS
MAY BE LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING DAMAGE, AND MAY
EXPOSE THEMSELVES AND OTHERS TO POSSIBLE INJURY.
READ AND COMPLY WITH ALL CAUTION AND SAFETYRELATED NOTES ON OR INSIDE THE RECEIVER CABINET,
AND THE RECEIVER CHASSIS, OR ON THE PICTURE TUBE.
SAFETY GLASSES SHOULD BE USED WHEN SERVICING
ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTS. INADVERTENTLY
OVERSTRESSING COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE THEM TO
SHATTER, DISCHARGING SMALL PARTICLES.
DESIGN ALTERATION WARNING - Do not alter or add to the
mechanical or electrical design of this TV receiver. Design alterations and
additions may alter the safety characteristics of this receiver and create a
hazard to the user. Design alterations or additions may void the
manufacturer's warranty and may make you, the servicer, responsible for
personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
BEFORE RETURNING AN INSTRUMENT TO THE CUSTOMER,
always make a safety check of the entire instrument, including, but not
limited to, the following items:
FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
1. Never release a repaired unit unless all protective devices such as
insulators, barriers, covers, strain reliefs and other protective hardware
have been installed in accordance with the original design.
2. Be sure that there are no cabinet openings through which an adult or a
child might be able to insert their fingers and contact a hazardous
voltage. Such openings include, but are not limited to: (a) spacings
between picture tube and cabinet mask, (b) excessively wide cabinet
ventilation slots, and (c) an improperly fitted or incorrectly secured
back cover.
3. Observe original lead dress. Take care to restore leads to their original
dress. Make sure that leads are not in contact with sharp edges or
thermally hot parts. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out-ofplace or frayed wiring. Do not change spacing between adjacent
components, or between components and printed-circuit board. Check
AC power cord for damage.
4. Be certain to remove loose solder balls and all other loose foreign
particles.
5. Check components, parts and/or wiring for physical evidence of
damage, overheating or deterioration, and replace if necessary.
Determine the cause of damage and/or overheating and, if necessary,
take corrective action to remove any potential safety hazard.
6. Parts Replacement - Many TV electrical and mechanical parts have
special safety-related characteristics, some of which are often not
evident from visual inspection, and the protection they give cannot
necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated for
higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that have special safety characteristics
are identified in this service data by a ( ) on schematics and in the parts
list. Use of a substitute replacement that does not have the same safety
characteristics as the recommended replacement part in the service data
parts list may create shock, fire and/or other hazards. Always consult
the appropriate current service literature for the latest information.
7. Some TV receiver chassis' normally have 85VAC (RMS) between
chassis and earth ground, regardless of the AC plug polarity. Some TV
receiver chassis' are electrically connected directly to one conductor of
the AC power cord. Some TV receiver chassis' have a secondary ground
system in addition to the main chassis ground. This secondary ground
system is not isolated from the AC power line. The two ground systems
are electrically separated by insulating material that must not be
defeated or altered. Thus, when servicing any unit always use a separate
isolation transformer for the chassis. Failure to use a separate isolation
transformer may expose the servicer to possible shock hazard, and may
cause damage to servicing instruments.
8. Many electronic products use a polarized AC line cord (one wide pin on
the plug). Defeating this safety feature may create a potential hazard to
the servicer and the user. Extension cords which do not incorporate the
polarizing feature should never be used.
PICTURE TUBE IMPLOSION WARNING - The picture tube in this
receiver employs integral implosion protection. For continued implosion
protection, replace the picture tube only with one of the same type number.
Do not remove, install, or otherwise handle the picture tube in any manner
without first putting on shatterproof goggles equipped with side shields.
People not so equipped must be kept safely away while picture tubes are
handled. Keep the picture tube away from your body. Do not handle the
picture tube by its neck. Some "in-line" picture tubes are equipped with a
permanently attached deflection yoke; because of potential hazard, do not
try to remove such "permanently attached" yokes from the picture tube.
X-RADIATION AND HIGH VOLTAGE LIMITS - Because the picture
tube is the primary source of X-radiation in solid-state TV receivers, it is
specially constructed to prohibit X-radiation emissions. For continued Xradiation protection, a replacement picture tube must be the same type as the
original. The picture shields, mounting hardware and lenses (projection TV)
may also perform an X-radiation protection function, and they must be
correctly in place. Anode connectors contain an X-radiation shield - use only
the manufacturer's specified anode connectors. High voltage must be
measured each time servicing that involves power supply, horizontal
deflection or high voltage circuits is performed. Correct operation of the Xradiation circuits must also be confirmed each time these circuits are
serviced (X-radiation circuits may also be called "horizontal disable" or
"hold-down" circuits). Read and apply high voltage limits and, if the chassis
is so equipped, the X-radiation protection circuit specifications. These
limits and specifications are given on instrument labels and are included in
this service data. High voltage is maintained within specified limits by closetolerance safety-related components (and adjustments) in the high voltage
circuit. If high voltage exceeds specified limits, check each safety related
component specified on the schematic and take corrective action.
ANTENNA LEAKAGE RESISTANCE CHECK - With the instrument
AC plug removed from the AC source, connect an electrical jumper across
the two AC plug prongs. Place the instrument AC switch (if applicable) in
the "on" position. Connect one lead of an ohmmeter to the AC plug prongs
and touch the other ohmmeter lead, in turn, to each (exposed) antenna input
terminal screw and/or coaxial connector. If the measured resistance is less
than 1.0 Megohm, or greater than 5.2 Megohm, an abnormality exists which
must be corrected before the instrument is returned to the customer. Repeat
this test with the AC switch in the "off" position.

ADAPTER AND DO NOT USE AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER. Use
a leakage current tester or metering system that complies with American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.1 Leakage Current forAppliances and with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1492 (Section 67).
With the instrument AC switch first in the "on" position and then in the "off"
position, measure from a known earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit,
etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle bracket,
metal cabinet, screwheads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.). Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5 milliampere. Reverse the adapter plug
in the outlet and repeat the test. ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN
THE LIMITS SPECIFIED HEREIN INDICATE A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD THAT MUST BE ELIMINATED BEFORE
RETURNING THE INSTRUMENT TO THE CUSTOMER OR
BEFORE CONNECTING THE ANTENNA OR ACCESSORIES. If a
leakage current tester is not available, connect a 1.5 Kohm, 10 Watt resistor,
in parallel with a 0.15 µF, 150V capacitor, between earth ground and each
exposed metal part of the instrument (as shown above). Use an AC voltmeter
with at least 5000 ohm/volt sensitivity to measure the potential across the
resistor. The potential measured for any exposed metal surface must not
exceed 0.75 volts.

CHIP COMPONENT REMOVAL
Replacement Procedure for Chip Removal
The following procedures are recommended for the
replacement of the chip components used in this unit.
Failure to follow these procedures may lead to damage to
the copper traces and pads on the printed circuit boards.
1.Preparation for replacement
a. Soldering Iron: Use a pencil-type soldering iron
using less than 30 watts.
b. Solder Type: Eutectic Solder, Tin 63%/Lead
37%, is recommended.
c. Soldering Time: Do not apply heat for more than
4 seconds.
d. Preheating: Chip capacitors must be preheated
before installation. (130 degrees - 150 degrees
C).
Note: Chip component must not be reused after removal.
Excessive mechanical stress and rubbing of the
component electrode must be avoided.
2. Removing the chip component (Fig. 2-3):
Grasp the chip component body with tweezers and
alternately apply heat to both electrodes.
Note: Do not attempt to lift the component off the board
until the component is completely disconnected
from the board by a twisting action. Attempting to
remove the component before it has completely
been disconnected can break the copper foil on
the printed circuit board.
3.Installing a chip component
a. Presolder the contact points on the circuit board
(Fig. 2-4).
Fig.2-4, Chip Component Presolder
b. Hold the component in position with tweezers and
solder the electrodes as shown (Fig.2-3).
Figure 2-3, Removing Chip Components
When the solder on both electrodes has melted,
remove the chip component with a twisting motion.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES
Operating Conditions
Unless otherwise noted, the following conditions must be
observed when aligning the DTV307 chassis:
1. Chassis must be operated from a 120VAC isolation
transformer, with line voltage set to 120VAC (±2.0V).
2. Picture controls (black level, contrast, etc.) must be set to
factory presets via the Picture Quality menu.
3. Procedures must be performed in the sequence given.
4. A 10X probe must be used for oscilloscope and
frequency measurements.
5. Minimum warm-up time is 10 minutes.
Required Test Equipment
- Dual-Trace Oscilloscope
- Digital Voltmeter
- Frequency Counter
- Audio Signal Generator
- NTSC Signal Generator (B&K 1249, or equivalent)
- MTS Signal Generator (B&K 2009, or equivalent)
- Sweep/Marker Generator (or Standard Signal Generator)
- TAG001 Service Generator (stock # 215568)
- YPrPb Signal Generator (DVD player with YPrPb)
- DC Power Supply (5.0V/0.25A) for TAG001
- Chipper Check® software
- Chipper Check® interface box and computer
All alignments with the exception of basic color temp
require the use of Chipper Check® software and interface box.
X-Ray Shutdown Check
The following procedure should be performed prior to, and
upon completion of service:
1. Set Black Level and Contrast to maximum. Momentarily
apply a short between the shutdown test points
(JW14901- located at back edge of chassis) and ground.
The instrument must shutdown immediately, then turn
back on after ~ 2 seconds.
2. Apply and maintain a short between the shutdown test
points. The instrument must shutdown immediately and
remain shutdown (the instrument will attempt to restart
three times, then remain off).
3. Remove the short from JW14901.
4. Enter the Service Mode and reset the error code
parameter(s) to "0".
Entering the TV Service Mode Using the Front Panel
Controls
1. Press and release the POWER button to turn the
instrument on.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the TV/DIRECTV
and the Channel Down Buttons on the front of the TV.
The instrument will display the following menu:
The CH ∧ and CH ∨ buttons on the front panel (or the
P: 0 V: 0
remote transmitter) are used to change the parameter (P)
number. The VOL + and VOL - buttons are used to change the
value (V).
NOTE: Attempting to change the parameter number (using
CH ∧ or CH ∨) at this point will cause the instrument
to exit the service mode. A valid security code must
be entered (using VOL + or VOL -) before selecting
an alignment parameter.
Security Codes
When the service mode is first turned on, the parameter will
be "0", which does not correspond to an alignment. This is the
security code parameter, the purpose of which is to prevent
accidental entry into the parameter groups. The value (V)
must be set to 76 for Front panel access to Chassis
Alignments. The value (V) must be set to 80 for Digital
Convergence mode. The value (V) must be set to 90 for the
Warranty Clock. The value (V) must be set 200 for Chipper
Check®. Once Chipper Check® mode (V=200) is selected, the
Chipper Check® interface box will take control of the
instrument and the front panel will become inoperative.
Once a security code has been set, pressing CH ∧ or CH will
result in the following display:
Service Mode
Many of the alignments for this chassis are software-driven;
adjustments are made by modifying parameter values using
Chipper Check and the service menu. When parameter values
are modified, the corresponding T-chip registers, tuner
registers and EEprom locations are updated.
A list of the software alignment parameters accessable
using the front panel is shown in Table 2. The remainder of the
alignments require Chipper Check®. Even though some of the
geometry alignments are available through the front panel
service menu, adjustment is not recommended. Alignment in
one mode will interact and affect the displays of the other
modes.
Page 3-1
P: YY V: ZZZ
Where:YY = parameter number
ZZZ = current value
At this point, the CH ∧ and CH ∨ buttons can be used to
change the parameter number and the VOL + and VOL buttons can be used to change the value of the parameter
selected.

DTV307
ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES (Continued)
Error Codes
If certain failures occur in the chassis, error codes will be
stored in the chassis EEprom. These error codes are displayed
in parameters "1", "2" and "3". Parameter "1" stores the error
code for the first failure experienced by the instrument.
Similarly, parameter "2" stores the error code for the second
failure. Parameter "3" is automatically updated to display the
error code for the most recent failure experienced by the
instrument. Error codes are summarized in Table 1.
The presence of a "0" in the error code values indicates that
no failures have occurred since the time when the error code
parameters were reset. These error codes can (and should) be
reset to "0" after servicing with the VOL + and VOL - buttons.
Because a failure of a bus IC is a possible reason for needing
service, normal acknowledgment checking is disabled in the
service mode. If an IIC device has failed, its address will be
stored in the error code area.
Exiting The Service Mode
The service mode can be exited at any time by pressing the
INFO button on the remote (except when in ChipperCheck
mode). No additional steps are required to write new data into
the EEprom(s); new data is entered as parameter values are
changed.
CHASSIS ALIGNMENT
The DTV307 chassis requires the use of ChipperCheck®, a
TV/PC interface box, and a suitable computer (min. 486DX/
33MHz PC with 8Meg memory recommended) for the
majority of the alignments. Basic geometry and color
temperature are the only alignments accessable through the
front panel. These adjustments have been included in this
service manual as front panel procedures but can also be
performed using ChipperCheck®.
ChipperCheck® software and the TV/PC interface box are
available from:
AKB Mode (Parameter 27)
Do not change front panel adjustment parameter 27, AKB
mode. These are used for factory alignments only. 00 is the
default setting. All other adjustment values may set at
nominal or half of their full range values when there is a
question of what value is needed to begin alignments.
High Voltage Adjustment
The high voltage in this instrument is very critical and
requires special test equipment to measure and adjust. Field
alignment is not recommended. If one of the following
components is replaced the remainder of the components
listed must be replaced at the same time. These components
are packaged together in a kit (see parts list for stock number):
R14767, R14778, R14780, R14776 and R14777. Adjustment of
high voltage will not be necessary.
Note:To remove the high voltage leads from R14767, twist
the lead (at least 360deg) while pulling up.
®
XRP Adjustment
The XRP circuit in this instrument requires special test
equipment to measure and adjust. Field alignment is not
recommended. If one of the following components is replaced
the remainder of the components listed must be replaced at the
same time. These components are packaged together in a kit
(see parts list for stock number): CR14900, R14900, R14901,
R14902, R14904, R14906 and Q14901. Adjustment of XRP
will not be necessary.
These parameters are preset at the factory and should not
be aligned.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES (Continued)
DTV307 Color Temperature Alignment
Color temperature alignment for the DTV307 projection
instrument becomes complex. AKB is not utilized in this
instrument and color temperature must be setup for both user
selectable color temperature modes, "Normal" and "Warm".
Color temperature is actually setup for only one user mode,
then the remainder of the settings are calculated and placed
into the proper EEPROM locations. Proper color temperature
setup is dependant upon screen control setup. This adjustment
is done only once and used as a "reference" for the remaining
adjustments.
The order of adjustment is important. The proper order is:
1.Screen Control Setup
2.2.14H "Video" Mode, "Normal" Temperature.
3.2.14H, "Video" Mode, "Warm" Temperature.
Screen Control Setup
If screen control setup is done properly, the original color
temperature settings will probably be acceptable.
NOTE: AKB will remain "OFF" (0) for all operating
conditions of the DTV307 including all alignment
procedures. AKB is not used in the DTV307
instrument at this time.
PRESETS:
To begin, set the instrument to receive a "Comp" input on the
Component Video Input (Y, PR, PB) on the rear jack panel
using a clean average video signal. Preheat the instrument for
at least 20 minutes with an active video display.
In the consumer menu, under Picture Quality, set the
Picture Presets to "Normal Lighting". Then using the
Picture Controls, set Contrast to "maximum" and Color to
"minimum". Set Color Warmth to "Normal".
5. Set Video Mode Light Output (P24) to "V:64".
6. Set Blue Drive (P23) to V:64.
7. Set Red Drive (P22) to V:64.
8. Set Video Mode Cutoff (P21) to V:64.
9. Set Blue Cutoff (P:20) to V:127.
10. Set Green Cutoff (P:19) to V:127.
11. Set Red Cutoff (P:18) to V:127.
12. Making certain the 0 IRE Flat Field pattern (TP2) is still
displayed, observe the LED's located on the kine boards
on the neck of the CRT's. Adjust the Video Mode Cutoff
(P21) until any LED illuminates. Continue increasing
P:21 until the second of the three LED's illuminates. It
does not matter at this point if the first LED goes dim.
13. Now adjust the Red, Blue or Green cutoff control for the
LED THAT HAS NOT YET ILLUMINATED until
that LED also lights.
NOTE: If the cutoff control runs out of range, increase the
Video Mode Cutoff (P:21) until the final LED lights.
14. Now decrease the two remaining cutoff controls until the
respective LED's are just lit.
15. Continue fine adjustment of the Red, Green and Blue
cutoff controls until all three LED's are full on.
16. If a colorimeter is available adjust the screen controls for
x=.300, y=.310 and Y=1.0 +0.25. If not, increase the
screen controls to provide a low level gray pattern. A 10
Bar Gray Scale or similar pattern may be used to provide
a known gray pattern. The important point is when the
adjustment is complete a very low level uniform gray
pattern should be visible when the flat field gray pattern
(TP2) is placed on the screen.
DO NOT ADJUST THE SCREEN CONTROLS AGAIN
AFTER THIS STEP!!!
In the consumer menu under Screen, set the Menu
Background Color to "Transparent".
Four test patterns, will be required for the procedure. TP1
is a 12 IRE 50% display window for setting the screen
controls, lowlights. TP2 is a 0 IRE flat field for setting cathode
cutoffs. TP3 is a 100 IRE flat field for setting highlights. TP4
is a 100 IRE 50% Window for setting light output.
To Adjust the Screen Control:
1. Apply TP1 to the Component Video Input (Y, PR, PB).
2. Make certain the preheat and preset conditions have been
met.
3. Enter the serviceman menu using the front panel buttons
by pressing simultaneously "TV/DIRECTV" and
"CHANNEL DOWN" . Use "VOL UP" to place the "V:"
value to "76". When a parameter is specified use "CH
UP" or "CH DN" to change to the correct parameter
number, then use "VOL UP" or "VOL DN" to change the
value of the paramter.
4. Set all three screen controls on the focus/screen assembly
to minimum (full CCW).
17. Exit the serviceman menu by pressing "INFO" on the
remote control. This stores the new values to the
EEPROM and completes screen control setup.
If a colorimeter is not available color temperature setup
and screen control adjustment should end here. If a
colorimeter is available continue to the next section.
To Adjust 2.14H "Video" Mode "Normal" Color
Temperature:
1. Apply TP1 to the Component Video Input (Y, PR, PB)
and adjust the instrument for normal reception.
2. Make certain the preheat and preset conditions have
been met. In the consumer menu, under Picture Quality,
set the Picture Presets to "Normal Lighting". Then
using the Picture Controls, set Contrast to "maximum"
and Color to "minimum". Set Color Warmth to
"Normal".

Conclusion
The purpose of screen control alignment is to match the
electronic video signal to the CRT electrical characteristics.
In other words, if the video signal requires beam current to
stop, the CRT must know that value. Screen control setup is
an exact adjustment.
On the other hand, color temperature can be perceived
differently depending upon room lighting and environment,
original program material, electrical adjustment of the video
processing and control circuits and finally, the viewer. What
looks red to a technician, may look purple or orange or any
other color to another viewer. The technician should strive to
provide a "trained" eye by knowing what proper color
tracking is. "Color Tracking" itself is a misnomer. Color
temperature alignment is actually striving for a uniform gray,
with no hint of color tinting, as the ideal for any light output
level of the CRT.

Geometry Adjustments
The Geometry alignments on this chassis are very critical
and must be performed using ChipperCheck®. Even though
some of the geometry alignments are available through the
front panel service menu, adjustment is not recommended.
Alignment in one mode will interact and affect the displays of
the other modes.
To perform geometry adjustments a template must be
placed on the screen. The grid divides the screen into 6.5
equal squares from right and left to center. It also divides the
screen into 5.5 squares from top and bottom to center.
If a template is not available, center screen may be
confirmed by placing two strings on the screen. One string is
placed on the diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom
right. The other is fixed from the top right corner to the bottom
left. The intersection of the two lines should be center screen.
The outer lines should be just at the frame. All other lines can
be measured from center screen and the frame. Chipper
Check will provide the measurements depending upon screen
size.
For the remainder of the adjustments the grid must be used
and the following order FOLLOWED EXACTLY!!!
P12: Do not adjust!
P6 is fixed at V:32.
P10 is fixed at V:3.
P8 is fixed at V:4.
P13 is set to V:32 for 2.14H. All other modes the center
horizontal line should intersect at the screen center.
P5 is adjusted such that the right border is just inside the
screen frame at point B.
P11 is adjusted to place the top border (horizontal line
intersecting point D) is at the upper screen edge.
P7 is set to obtain the straightest line between points D and E.
P9 is set for the straightest line between points D and E.
P11 is re-adjusted (if required) to place the top border
(horizontal line intersecting point D) is at the upper screen
edge.
P4 is adjusted after returning normal video to the screen for
horizontal centering.

Yoke Centering Ring Adjustment
If Chipper Check is not available it is possible to replace a
single CRT and realign geometry by using the centering rings
on the CRT.
Using the convergence pattern available when in service menu
V:80, the pattern from the replacement CRT may be adjusted
to align with either of the two remaining CRT's using the
centering rings shown in Figure 2.
First make certain the replacement CRT is placed back in the
mounting as close as possible to the position of the original
CRT. At this point having the convergence pattern on screen
will assist in the mechanical mounting. Once the CRT
assembly is located fasten it securely.

Figure 2 - Centering Rings
Figure 3 - Centering Ring Tab Movement
Using the centering rings (Figure 3) and observing the
convergence pattern, rotate and move the pattern until the
replacement color overlays as close as possible to the two
colors not replaced. Moving the ring tabs together around the
neck of the CRT draws the raster in small circles. Spreading
the tabs apart moves the raster in more linear angles. The
closer the tabs are together, the less affect on the CRT beam
they have.
When the raster is as close as possible fix the magnets with
paint or nail polish to prevent further movement.
After fixing the magnets, if gross geometry errors are
apparent, geometry alignment is indicated. If the raster is
close use the "Auto-convergence" feature provided in the
consumer menu to re-align convergence. This should correct
most minor geometry problems. Follow auto-convergence
with the consumer red and blue centering adjustments, then
evaluate the raster again.
In most cases convergence will now be acceptable. If only
slight convergence errors are noted the technician should
enter the manual digital convergence menu at V:80 and begin
"touch-up" of the screen.
If gross geometry errors are still apparent re-evaluate whether
the errors are noticable on the replacement CRT or whether
they are global, affecting all three c CRT's. If the errors affect
all three CRT's a full geometry alignment is indicated. If the
errors only affect one CRT, particulary the replacement,
return to the mechanical placement and centering ring
adjustments and begin those procedures again.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES (Continued)
Digital Convergence
There are four security locations associated with digital
convergence. Their exact functions will be explained later.
They are:
V: 76;The main service alignment location.
Contains the geometry alignments associated with
convergence.
V: 80;The main digital convergence location.
V: 82;PTV sensor positioning.
V: 83;Restore factory Digital Convergence
values.
V: 84;Save current alignments.
When the chassis is in service mode and digital convergence
is active (V:80) the following remote control functions are
enabled:
INFO; Toggles the convergence mode off after
alignments are completed
CH+/CH-; Adjusts the selected alignment point up
or down.
VOL+/VOL-; Adjusts the selected alignment point
right or left.
Cursor Arrow Buttons; Moves the cursor in the
appropriate direction.
SKIP; Toggles the convergence mode through the
following four states.
Red to Green: Allows adjustment of red
convergence using the green pattern as a
template.
Blue to Green: Allows adjustment of blue
convergence using the green pattern as a
template.
All: Allows adjustment of the green
convergence. Provides a white convergence
pattern allowing comparison of the pattern for
more accurate results.
Green: Allows adjustment of the green
convergence. This should be used only with a
mylar template or strings placed on the front
screen.
Figure 4 - Main Convergence Screen with Cursor at Center
Convergence Pattern
The convergence pattern displayed when in the digital
convergence mode (V:80) appears as in Figure 4. Shown is
the cursor at center screen. This is how the convergence
pattern appears when the technician initially enters the digital
convergence alignment mode.
CAUTION: DO NOT PRESS THE "OFF" BUTTON. THIS
WOULD TURN OFF THE SET WITHOUT SAVING THE
CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENTS.
All other buttons are ignored by System Control and the
Digital Convergence microprocessor during convergence
alignment.
After placing the instrument in service mode, use either the
remote control or the front panel button VOL UP to advance
the right side screen number (V:) to 80. Then push CH UP.
This places the instrument in digital convergence mode.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURES (Continued)
Convergence Mode
During digital convergence mode, the display will blank
incoming video allowing only the digital convergence
crosshatch pattern with the cursor at the center location. The
initial adjustment is red. Green is fixed. Red and blue will be
aligned to green.
The volume and channel buttons will provide adjustment of
the selected cursor location up, down, left and right in single
steps. The cursor position is indicated by a crosshair. The
intersection of the highlighted crosshair is the alignment
currently being adjusted. Note only a portion of the crosshair
will be seen when it is positioned to adjust the off-screen
points along the picture edges. Use the small line segments
that extend to the picture edge to adjust these points.
NOTE: In the extreme diagonal positions, the
cursor is invisible but the point is still adjustable. Do
not adjust these off-screen corner points.
For best results, adjust the pattern beginning at the upper
left of the screen. Then continue the adjustments from left to
right and top to bottom as if reading a book.
The four navigation "MOVE" buttons adjust the movement
of the selected color at the cursor point. They will move the
alignment point for the selected color up, down, right or left.
Adjust so that it is centered on green with minimum fringing
on either side.
The "SKIP” button will toggle the display through
4 states:
1.
Yellow crosshatch, Yellow cursor, Red
adjustment, no other OSD or video.
2.Cyan crosshatch, Cyan cursor, Blue adjustment,
no other OSD or video.
3.White crosshatch, White cursor, no adjustment
available. Used to observe convergence results.
4.Green crosshatch, Green Cursor.
The PWR button returns the receiver to normal operation,
however the adjustments are not stored to EEPROM. More on
the actual storing of data to the digital convergence EEPROM
later.
As previously discussed, there are also four service menu
locations associated with digital convergence. They are:
V: 80;The main digital convergence
location.
V: 82;PTV sensor positioning.
V: 83;Restore factory Digital Convergence
values.
V: 84;Save current alignments.
V:80 is the main digital convergence menu. It contains an
"all-points" adjustment procedure very much like the
CTC195. When convergence alignments are complete, the
technician exits this menu by pressing "On/Off" on the remote
control or "Power" on the front panel. Convergence
alignments for the selected scan mode are stored in the current
mode EEPROM at this point and will be used until they are
changed during the next menu V:80 alignment procedure or
the consumer accesses the "Auto-Convergence" procedure.
In that case, the original factory alignment data will be placed
back into the EEPROM and the screen aligned to the faulty
data.
To prevent this, once alignments are complete for the
selected mode, the service menu must be entered again, this
time V:84 will be selected. At V:84, press CH UP. This
transfers the new alignment data for the selected deflection
mode to the factory EEPROM. Then the service menu is
decremented to V:82 and CH UP is again pressed. This starts
a routine to allow the optical sensors located on the screen
frame to "memorize" the new alignment data. It looks similar
to the consumer "Auto-convergence" procedure. Once the
routine is completed "Auto-convergence" will function
correctly, returning the screen to the convergence setup by the
technician. This new data becomes the "factory default" data
from this point forward, only changing if a new set of
alignments is placed into the EEPROM using the same

Menu V:83 performs the same convergence routine as
selecting "Auto-convergence" from the consumer menu.
Digital Convergence Alignment Overview
There are four convergence modes in the DTV307
corresponding to the four deflection (scan) modes. Each
requires complete convergence alignment and stores the
alignment points in separate EEPROMS. There is also
another EEPROM containing convergence data installed at
the time of manufacture. It is always available to allow a
"starting" point in cases where catastrophic failure of
convergence data has occured. This EEPROM is larger than
the others and contains reference data for all four scan modes.

CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
AC IN
Three line chokes in series and capacitors across the
outputs are used to provide Line Conducted Interference
(LCI) suppression to the AC line. A full wave bridge is
connected to the 60Hz ac line to provide Raw B+ to both
the standby Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) circuit and the
main high power isolat ing regulator.
A provision for a Negative Temperature Coefficient
Resistor (NTC) RT14202 may be used as a surge current
resistor to c ontrol inrush curre nt through the diod es as the
main electrolytic charges initially to minimize power and
temperature.
Grounding of the 3-wire line cord is to the metal
mechanical structure to which the main spark gap and
audio/video grounds are connected.
Main Run Power Supply
Main Run Power Supply Operation
The main run power supply circuit operates in the Zero
Voltage Switching (ZVS) mode to minimize radiated
noise and to improve efficiency.
A high power output, single switch power supply requires
a switching device that has a high curre nt rating and high
breakdown voltage. The most cost-effective type of
device for this application is a bipolar switching transistor,
but bipolar transistor require a significant amount of base
current drive in the forward direction, and even higher
level of current during turn-off to ensure fast switching.
A simple proportional drive circuit that also provides a
self-oscillating capability has been developed for the
DT30X family. Proportional drive is advantageous
because it provides a relatively constant ratio of base
current to collector current. This constant ratio prevents
the switching transistor base from being overdriven in the
forward direction during low current operation, thus
improving the switching speeds. Proportional drive also
provides increased base drive when high peak current is
required from the switching transistor to ensure proper
saturation to minimize power dissipation. This circuit
operates in the forward mode because of the high power
output requirements, providing energy to the secondary
windings during the main switch cond uction interval. I n
this implementation the primary winding of T14101,
provides the means for the energy stored in the resonant
inductor to be transferred to the output while the switching
transistor is on.
Page 5-1
Page 30
DTV307
CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
A high current latch provides a low impedance path for
reverse base current to flow during turn-off. The latch is
made up of Q14101 and Q14103 a PNP/NPN transistor
pair. A negative bias on the base of the switching
transistor, Q14100, is provided by the drive transformer, a
series Zener diode, CR14105, and bypass capacitor,
C14103, to improve reliability and switching speeds.
Oscillation is initiated by current flowing from a high
value resistor R14103 connected to the Raw B+. It causes
a small amount of base current to flow in the main power
switch Q14100. A drive transformer T14101 is connected
as a current transformer and causes current to flow in the
secondary winding in response to the current flow in the
primary winding. The ratio of primary current to
secondary current is determined by the turns ratio of the
drive transformer, about 7 to 1. Since additional current
begins to flow in the base of the switching transistor from
the secondary of T14101, additional current will flow in
the primary and a regenerative effect will take place
causing the system to self oscillate. The expected range
of switching frequency is 80kHz to 120 kHz.
Switch Mode transistor current is sensed by an emitter
resistor, R14100; the developed voltage is fed to the
NPN/PNP latch. When the voltage across R14100
increases the base of Q14103 becomes sufficiently
positive to cause it to turn-on. Current flowing in Q14103
causes Q14101 to turn-on diverting base current away
from the Q14100 and latching Q14103. CR14105 and
C14103 provide a negative voltage feedback to the base
of Q14100 to improve the turn off characteristics of the
main power switch.
a current path of the forward drive current and limits the
voltage to which C14104 can charge. A negative base
bias voltage is coupled to Q14100 through C14104 to
Q14100 when it is in the off state. Diode CR14117 and
C14121 bias and rectify and filter the negative voltage
developed from the drive transformer, T14101, to provide
a negative supply voltage for the control circuit.
A feedback signal from an error amplifier that senses the
output voltage of the supply drives an opto-coupler with a
variable current. The +76V supply is sensed via a resistor
divider and fed to the reference IC U14101. As the output
voltage increases above the threshold set by the error
amplifier, the current through the diode portion of the
opto-coupler increases causing increasing current to flow
in the transistor portion. This increased current flow
causes the voltage across C14112 to drop which in turn
lowers the threshold at which Q14103 will begin to
conduct, lowers the peak current in the switching device,
and reduces the output voltage of the system until
equilibrium is established.
Overcurrent Protection
When an overload appears, the current through (and the
voltage across) the sense resistors approaches a sawtooth
shape with nearly equal positive and negative amplitudes.
The negative-going portion of this voltage is passed by
CR14122 and lowers the voltage on the emitter of
Q14103 that in turn lowers the maximum peak current that
can flow through the transistor.
Standby Power Operation
Diode CR14108 and resistor R14117 shunt some of the
reverse base current to the low impedance of the current
sense resistor. This shunting effect prevents the
overstressing the base of Q14103.
Q14102 and Q14103 remain latched until the current
flowing through the pair drops below the latching
threshold. The negative voltage produced by T14101
keeps the main switch mode transistor from conducting
until the resonant action of the resonating inductor and the
resonant capacitor, C14113, causes the voltage to reverse.
As the voltage at the base of Q14100 rises, current begins
to flow and the next cycle begins.
When Q14100 turns off, the collector voltage begins to
rise but the voltage change is limited by the resonance
effect produced by L14103 and C14113. Because
Q14100 turns off very rapidly, very little power is
dissipated since the collector voltage remains low during
the turn-off interval. When the collector voltage of
Q14100 resonates toward ground, the collector-base
junction conducts and diode CR14128 provides a path for
the resonant current returning to the Raw B+ supply after
the resonant cycle is complete. Diode CR14115 provides
The standby power supply uses a ZVS circuit similar to
the main run circuitry. It uses a flyback topology rather
than the forward mode of the main power supply. A
MOSFET, Q14601, serves as the switching device with
the energy storage components the primary inductance of
T14600 and the resonating capacitor, C14605.
+5VFB is sampled and regulated directly via the reference
IC U14603 and opto-coupler, U14601. A transistor
switch Q14604 is enabled by the +12v run in order to
shed load in the standby mode.
An isolated supply (+8V_USB) provides the source for
the USB 5v regulator that is located on the I/O board.
Provisions ha ve been made for powering a tuner with the
+15vs, +33vs and -12vs. The +33vs is switched on by the
+12vr.
On sets supporting GemStar99, a 9VS standby source is
provided from +15VS via a dropping resistor to form an
unregulated +12VS. This supply is fed to a switched +9V

signal regulator. This regulator can be activated during
RUN and Acquisition modes.
A power fail circuit with output, PWR_FAIL senses an
unregulated negative supply (about -15 volts) that is
proportional to the Raw B+ input. PWR_FAIL is asserted
when the Raw B+ is no longer sufficient to guarantee
regulation of the output voltages. The output voltages will
remain in regulation for a minimum of 20 ms after
PWR_FAIL is asserted.

Degaussing
Automatic Degaussing is provided via a PTC connected is
series with the AC line and contacts of a relay. When the
main power ZVS is activated by the on/off line, the +12v
supply rises and the transistor, Q14250, driving the relay
coil is saturated until the electrolytic capacitor, C14250,
charges to the value determined by the base divider
resistor. This differs from earlier chassis in that the
opening of the relay is determined by time constant rather
than uC control.

Second Tuner
The CTC197 2nd Tuner (PIP) module is used for the
DTV307. The tuner is a cold version of the CTC185
tuner. It receives its signal from the RF splitter output on
the DM1 module.
Composite Input Switching
The Composite Video Switching supports three rear jack
panel inputs, a front panel input and two composite
signals from the NTSC tuners. A matrix switch, U16501,
performs Composite Video switching. This arrangement
will allow any Composite Video (CV) signal to be
displayed as the Main or PIP Insert Picture.
The eight inputs to the CV Matrix switch are:
• Main Tune r CV
• PIP Tuner CV
• AUX-1
• AUX-2
• AUX-3
• Front CV
• Main Y
Page 5-3
Page 32
DTV307
CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
•Y from the YPrPb Input
The outputs are:
• Main CV
• PIP CV
• CV signal to the data slicer in the micro
The Closed Captioning (CC) Video output can be any of
the available CV inputs or the Y from the displayed SVideo or YPrPb signal.
S-Video Input Switching:
The S-Video Switching supports three rear panel jacks,
sharing the audio inputs with their respective CV inputs.
The combed Y/C from the optional Frame Comb is also
input to this switch. An auto detection scheme will select
S-Video over CV if sync is detected on the corresponding
Y/C input. The Y/C from the Comb Filter is input at the
S-Video Switch in the F2PIP. This allows the Frame
Comb input to be hard wired. If the control system
detects the Frame Comb IC at power up it will configure
the switches for Frame Comb operation. Otherwise the
Comb in the F2PIP is utilized. A matrix switch, U16500,
performs s-Video switching. T he 8 inputs to this switch
are: S-Video-1, S-Video-2, S-Video-3 and the Frame
Combed Chroma and Luminance. Two pairs of Y/C
outputs are selected and routed to the S-Video switch
located in the F2PIP IC. This will allow the display of
two S-Video sources as main and insert channel. In
normal operation one Y/C input is used for the main
display and the second is used to poll the other S-Video
Inputs looking for sync.
F2PIP and Comb Filter
The F2PIP IC, U18100, performs both the Comb Filter
and the PIP function. A three input S-Video switch is also
included inside the IC. The two main inputs, Y1/C1 and
Y2/C2, are fed from the S-Video Switch. The third Y/C
input is from the Line Comb in F2PIP. The Video
Control IC, U22300, generates a Sandcastle pulse at pin 2
from which a suitable Horizontal Drive pulse is derived.
This combined with the Vertical pulse present at pin 31
provides a Composite Blanking pulse to synchronize
F2PIP. The presence of sync on Y1 and Y2 can be
determined over the I2C Bus and used to control the auto
S-Video select. On chip A/D’s, D/A’s, PLL’s and
Memory make the F2PIP a one chip PIP solution. The
F2PIP IC contains an Adaptive Comb Filter for the main
picture as well as content screening and captioning for the
PIP.
The Comb Filter receives Composite Video from the CV
Switch. After the sync tip is clamped the signal is
digitized to 8 bits. The sample clock is at 4 Fsc and phase
locked to the main channel burst. The Digital comb, with
two 1fH delay lines, adaptively separate the Luma and
Chroma signals that are then converted back to analog.
The Y/C signals are low-pass filtered externally to remove
repeat spectra and routed back into the S-Video Switch in
the F2PIP. Vertical peaking is provided with bus
controlled gain. The CV Output and Y/C Input to the SVideo switch allow for an optional Frame Comb Module
to be used to circumvent the comb filter inside F2PIP.
The Video signal to be inserted as PIP may be a
Composite Video signal or a signal made by internally
summing either of the two S-Video inputs. Because this is
a one-clock system, the PIP signal is sampled by a clock
that is locked to the burst of the main signal. If burst is
not present on the main channel, F2PIP can create its own
burst. Following the sampling process the composite
signal is internally band-passed and low-pass filtered for
Y/C separation. If the chroma carriers are similar in
frequency a digital PLL allows demodulation of the PIP
chroma. The PIP Y/U/V samples are stored in memory
and are read out synchronized with the main picture. The
PIP picture consists of 69 lines with 108 luma and 18
pairs of chroma pixels. The PIP controller also generates
a Fast Switch signal that is used to control the Y/C overlay
switch inside the FPIP IC. It is also used to defeat Black
Stretch during time PIP is displayed.
A 1/9 size NTSC PIP can be placed almost anywhere on
the main NTSC raster.
YPrPb and Digital TV interface
A three input ganged RCA jack, J22401, provides for a
YPrPb or “YUV” Input. This signal is input after the
chroma decoder so that the 1.0fH to 2.14fH signals can be
directly processed, eliminating the chroma encoding and
decoding process. The 1.0fH Y or luma signal contains
standard NTSC sync. The 2.0 and 2.14 fH signals have
tri-level sync and because of their line frequency require
special processing. The NTSC and External YPrPb
signals are switched and clamped using two CD-4053
IC's, U22402 and U22403, before being routed to the
Digital Interface. The discrete clamp switch is required to
allow choosing the clamping level and send it as a “Black
Reference” to the DM-1 module via J22403. The
VGA2_NTSC / VGA1_YPRPB control line selects NTSC
or YPrPb and is shared with the VGA switch since they
are mutually exclusive. The YPRPB_Y signal is routed to
the CV Switch to allow decoding of Closed Caption data
on the YPrPb Input.
The Y signal is routed directly to U22407, which
generates the required Horizontal and Vertical Drive
signals. This IC also generates a Composite Blanking
signal, BLK_1300 and a Black Stretch Blanking and
Clamp Key signal, SCP_1300. These two signals are used
to drive the Video Control IC, U22300 for all 1.0, 2.0 and
Page 5-4
Page 33
DTV307
CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
2.14 fH signals. This allows idea control of the Blanking,
Black Stretch and AKB in these modes. For NTSC
operation U22407 is locked to the NTSC_H and NTSC_V
signals coming from the Video Control IC, U22300. For
YPrPb operation the YPRPB_H and YPRPB_V are
routed to deflection.
In the DTV307 NTSC, YPrPb or the DM-1 signals are
selected. J22402 provides differential YUV signals.
U22404, U22405 and U22406 are configured to convert
these to single YUV signals. For Digital TV applications
U2204 is configured as a two input YUV switch by
connecting the Matrix to ground through R22412.
DIG_2H and DIG_1V are the respective Horizontal and
Vertical Drive signals from the DM-1 module.
NTSC Chroma Decoder and Back-end
Processing
The main NTSC decoder and wide band video processing
is handled by U22300 a Video/Chroma/Deflection
processor IC. The U22300 processor accepts the
separated luminance and chrominance signals from the
comb filter. The chroma path has a selectable peaking
circuit inside the IC. The Q and center frequency is under
bus control. These are adjusted to compensate the
response from the various video inputs, including RF, CV
and S-Video. The luma path has a selectable 3.58 trap
with delay line.
U22300 is alignment free. Because the tint function is
performed at base band there is no tint-preset register
available for NTSC. Following demodulation, the I/Q or
U/V output signals are internally low-pass filtered and
routed to the NTSC/1H_YPrPb switch. For Auto-flesh
operation the IC must demodulate on the I/Q axis. The
internal matrix can accept U/V or I/Q signals but its input
follows the selection of the NTSC demodulator. With the
present Matrix, the Auto-flesh will only operate on 1.0 fHNTSC. In the U/V mode signals are routed around the
auto-flesh circuit. Only customer presets need be aligned.
Internal to U22300 is a horizontal and vertical sync
processor. The horizontal and vertical drive pulses are
used to drive the deflection in the 1.0 fH mode. An
internal PLL generates a stable Horizontal Drive pulse. A
vertical count down scheme is used to generate a stable
Vertical Drive pulse. I
read the status of the HPLL, the field frequency and
power on reset condition.
The Back-end Processor IC accepts YIQ (NTSC) or YUV
video and enhances it with the following functions:
1) User controls for pix, black level, sharpness
(with noise coring), color saturation, and tint.
2) Black stretch with auto-pedestal expands blacks to
full dynamic range.

C bus registers are available to
3) Edge replacement sharpens the luma edges.
4)SVM processing to enhance edges
5) Noise reduction to improve appearance of noisy

minimize scene to scene variations in tint
7) AKB (Automatic Kine Bias)
8) Beam current limiting
OSD for both 1H and 2H comes in following all user
controls.
The Red, Green and Blue outputs from U22300 are
clamped to prevent Blanking from going below 1.1 Volts.
The Low-Pass filters remove unwanted harmonics a
computer input may have. A reference voltage is
provided for common mode rejection at the Kine Driver
IC’s. The AKB operation can be controlled over the I
Bus; this includes off /on and AKB Gain. With AKB off
the Bias and Drive controls can be used to set color
temperature. With AKB on, the bias controls set the
reference input to the AKB. The AKB circuit generates
Red, Green and Blue pulses at the top of the raster. The
control loop moves the bias to match these currents to the
reference set by the bias controls. In order for the AKB to
operate U22300 must recognize the start of Vertical. The
Horizontal and Vertical portions of the Blanking input,
pin 25, times the AKB interval. The horizontal rate
Clamp Key at pin 24 is also used in the timing generation.
The AKB output pulse present at Pin 17 is used to blank
the Dynamic Focus to prevent contamination.
The SVM low-level signal processing is also controlled
by the I
correction can be adjusted for different modes or
conditions. The SVM signal is only present when the
Peaking is activated. The SVM mute threshold is 0.75
Volts on the OSD Fast-switch. The OSD switching
occurs at 2.25 Volts. This allows the SVM to turn off
before the OSD is displayed and removes OSD before
turning SVM back on. This prevents the OSD edges from
being modified by the SVM.

Picture Tube Management System
The DTV307 product uses 3 Philips TDA6120Q
Integrated Circuits for the Kine drivers, U15101, U15102
and U15103. The overall gain is approximately 38dB
(x77) for DTV307. The CRT drivers will be used with
27", 32", 34W, 36" and 38W DV tubes. AKB & Beam
Limiting is provided by the Back End Processor, U22300.
A current reference for AKB is DC coupled from each IC
driver. A current reference for the Automatic Beam
Limiter is provi ded through the High Voltage Circuitry.

CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
The RGB output section of U22300, the CRT driver
circuitry, the ABL circuitry, and the AKB circuitry make
up the Picture Tube Management System.
R,G,B bias controls and R(G),B drive controls are
available. The R(G) control is a register that controls
either the Red or the Green Drive. The Drive that is not
being controlled is set to nominal. U22300 also provides
an analog AKB system. The low-light color temperature
is aligned by adjusting the AKB reference levels.
Afterglow prevention is provided by a grid kick circuit
and a Kine driver IC cut-off circuit that operates when
there is a decrease in the +12VR supply voltage.
The ABL section of U22300 and its associated circuitry
will limit the average beam current through the picture
tube to limit HV power.
The AKB system does compensate for Picture Tube
leakage current due to the method of DC current addition
and restoration.
DTV307 I/O Board Audio Circuitry
Aux. Inputs
The following audio inputs are present as jacks, that are
connected electrically to the input switching circuit
CMOS switches (U11400, U11401) of the Audio I/O
Board. The CMOS switches are controlled by the system
micro, in response to customer commands:
Stereo Audio Inputs 1, 2, 3
Three pairs of right/left audio inputs, (J16501, J16502,
J16503), each pair clustered with a video input RCA-jack
and one S-video jack.
Front Audio/Video Input
Allows a camcorder to be plugge d in dir ectly, via a stereo
pair of RCA phono jacks. (J26104 on Front A/V board).
It has stereo audio capability, and is a selectable audio
input. The front A/V board interfaces to the I/O board via
differential coupling (U11402) or each channel.
RCA-Jack YUV Stereo Audio
A pair of clustered input jacks (J11403) is used to input
stereo audio from YUV digital video/audio source.
This IC contains five main functions:
1. SELECTOR SWITCH
2. STEREO VOLUME CONTROL
3. STEREO SPEAKER FADER CONTROL
4. TONE CONTROLS
5. IIC BUS EXPANDER DIGITAL OUTPUTS
6. MUTING
SELECTOR SWITCH:
This is used to select between the following signals:
1. The selected signal being applied both to the
Selected Outputs and the HI FI Outputs, as well as
the signal applied to the headphones and speakers.
2. All selected NTSC input signals, coming from the
input CMOS switches.
STEREO VOLUME CONTROL:
The volume control is a 1.25dB/step control with
approximately 80dB of range. This linear control will be
modified (in software) by a volume taper curve so that the
volume OSD (on screen display) gives the desired
customer “feel”. This block also includes speaker fader
and bass/treble controls.
SPEAKER FADER
This is utilized for a right/left balance control. It is also
used for the Customer Mute function.
TONE CONTROLS
The bass/treble is used as a standard function without
graphic equalizers.
IIC bus expander outputs
This pair of outputs is used to control muting of the power
amplifier (Speaker Mute) and muting of the Aux. Outputs
and headphone amplifier (Aux. and Headphone Mute).
Outputs 1 (pin 8) and 2 (pin3), respectively.
MUTING
The main customer MUTE function is accomplished by
ramping the volume control do wn at a rate which will not
cause audible pops when a 1khz sine wave tone is present.
The proper rate for this is 1 step/ms. In addition, the
Speaker Volume should be ramped down at 1 or 2 steps
per ms. after the main volume is ramped down.
NTSC Stereo Audio Inputs
A pair of differential input amplifiers (U11402) are used
to accept differential Left and Right NTSC audio signals
from the stereo decoder from the DM1 module.
AC-3 Interface (Rt, Lt AC-3 inputs)
Differential amplifier inputs (U11404) and outputs
(U11403) are provided for the DTV306.
Volume/Tone Control Function, U11800
SRS Function
The SRSâ (Sound Retrieval System) function is
accomplished by filtering, phase inversion, and summing
circuits made with U11700 and U11701, and their
associated circuitry.
The opamp stage, U11701A, buffers the left channel
signal. U11701D inverts the right channel signal. The
buffered left and inverted right channel signals are
Page 5-6
Page 35
DTV307
CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
summed through R11723 and R11726, then filtered by the
RC network consisting of R11712, C11706, R11725, and
C11702. The impedance of the filter network is
considerably higher than that of the summing resistors, in
order to minimize component interactance. The filtered
response has a midrange cut of about 10dB. The filtered
stereo difference signal is then buffered by U11701B.
The left and right input signals are summed by R11714
and R11735 and form the stereo sum signal. This stereo
sum signal is buffered by opamp U11701C.
The SRS difference signal filter function is switched in
and out using the CMOS switch, U11702. It is controlled
by transistor Q11701. At the same time, the sum signal
gain is changed by saturated transistor switch Q11702
connected to CNTL_C of U11702. These switches are
controlled in response to the digital "SRS_ON/OFF”
signal and "SRS_FOCUS" from the micro.
When the SRS function is turned OFF, the gain and
frequency response of both the sum and difference signal
are flat, which renders normal stereo channels at the
outputs of opamps U11700-A and B.
Pop-reduction (muting) of the RCA-jack output signals
occurs during power on/off by grounding the inputs using
bipolar transistors as analog switches. A dedicated circuit
(Q11300, Q11302, Q11308 and associated circuitry)
responds to both the +5V Standby and +12V run supplies.
The standby supply is used to charge a large electrolytic
capacitor through a diode. When power drops out the
voltage on this electrolytic remains relatively constant for
a significantly longer time period than the voltage on the
+12V run supply. The stored charge on the +5V standby
electrolytic is used to turn on muting transistors Q11901,
Q11902 into saturation, this short out the Aux. Out and
Headphone Amplifier signals. This muting prevents
large-amplitude transient voltages from reaching the
inputs to external power amplifiers.
Amplifiers
Headphone Amplifier
The Headphone Amplifier (U11900) doubles as the HIFI
output amplifier. The stereo headphone jack connects to
the U11900 outputs, and is located on the Front A/V
panel.
Compression Function
The compressor function is implemented by software
control of the volume control IC U11802, in response to
the dc voltage amplitude present at the output of the
Compressor Detector circuit, based around opamp
U11500. The dc voltage that is present at the detector
output is proportional to the peak value of the audio
signal. The detector output is connected to an A-to-D
converter in the control micro.
Outputs
RCA-Jack Outputs
Two pairs of RCA-jacks provide two-channel stereo audio
from the current program (large picture audio only, no PIP
audio available). The “HIFI” output signal, J11301, is
first processed by SRS, “Sound Logic” compressor, and
TVB control before being passed to the output jacks. The
HIFI output amplifier is also the Headphone Amplifier.
The “Selected” and “NTSC Selected” output signals are
routed straight through from the input switches, and are
not processed.
The “Selected Outputs #1”, J11300, are selected by the
input switching circuit of the TVB IC, U11802, selecting
the selected NTSC signals from the input switching
circuit, U11400 and U11401. The “NTSC Selected”
Outputs (J11302) consist only of NTSC signals from the
input switching circuit, U11400 and U11401.
Power Dropout Mute Circuit
The headphone-input signals are muted during power
on/off by grounding the inputs using bipolar transistors as
analog switches. A dedicated circuit, Q11300, Q11302,
Q11308 and its associated circuitry, respond to both the
+5V Standby and +12V run supplies. During momentary
power outages and during normal power-up/power-down,
this circuit drives the headphone amplifier input
transistors Q11901, Q11902 into saturation. This muting
prevents large-amplitude transient voltages from reaching
the inputs to external power amplifiers or to the
headphones.
PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulated) Power Amplifiers
The power amplifiers are monolithic IC’s (U11901,
U11902), which are “PWM” switchmode power
amplifiers. Each channel provides nominal 10 watts of
power into an 8 ohm loads. No heatsinks are required, as
efficiency is greater than 85 %.
PWM Amplifier Operation
A triangle-wave generator operates at approx. 150 kHz.
This triangle waveform is applied to one terminal of a
high-speed comparator. To the other terminal is applied
the analog signal to be converted to PWM. The output of
the comparator is PWM. This PWM signal is applied to a
push-pull output stage.
In order to realize the power-saving advantage of the
PWM design, the PWM waveform must be integrated
before being applied to the resistive speaker load,
otherwise full power will be delivered to the load at all
times, even when there is no audio input signal present. A

CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
two-pole L/C lowpass filter is set to 15khz to remove the
high frequency compo nents of the signal.
Negative feedback is picked off at the filter output and
applied to the appropriate upstream node to reduce
distortion and output impedance.
Mute/standby operation
Power amp muting circuitry consists of Q11906 and its
associated circuitry. The muting circuit responds to
control signals from the TVB IC, U11800, pin 8, which is
controlled by the IIC bus.
Speaker Outputs
The stereo power amplifiers connect to either external
speakers or internal speakers, depending on setting of
DM1 MODULE
The DM1 module in the DTV307 is used to process the
various types of Digital and Analog signals present in
today's broadcast world. It can decode digital audio and
video from Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and
terrestrial ATSC Digital Television (DTV) transmissions.
EXTERNAL/INTERNAL DPDT speaker selector switch.
This electromechanical switch is located on the rear panel
of the I/O board for customer access. In the
“EXTERNAL” position, the main power amplifier outputs
are connected to the External Speaker jacks. In the
“INTERNAL” position, the main power amplifier outputs
are connected to the internal speakers.
AVR (Automatic Volume Reduction)
The AVR function is used to protect the loudspeakers
from excessive power levels. A level detector circuit
(Q11904 and related circuitry) provides a two-state digital
signal, the state depending on the output voltage
amplitude from the power amp. The digital signal is
connected to one of the inputs of the system control
microprocessor, where its state is polled by the system
microprocessor.
It can also digitize the analog audio and video from
standard NTSC sources, such as cable and terrestrial
broadcasts. The DM1 includes an integral control-system,
user-interface and on-screen display (OSD) functionality.

DTV307
CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
Video is up-converted and output as analog YPrPb (Y, IQ
for NTSC sources) at 2H for NTSC signals and 2.14H for
digital video signals in one of the following formats:
video sourceoutput formatvertical rate
high-definition MPEG1920 x 1080i29.97/30 Hz
standard-definition MPEG1920 x 540p59.94/60Hz
analog NTSC1920 x 480p59.94/60Hz
Audio processing includes full 5.1-channel AC-3
decoding, Pro-logic decoding and down mixing. Audio is
output as analog baseband signals, as an optical AC-3
digital signal, and as an optical uncompressed digital
PCM signal.
NTSC Tuner (DM1)
The main NTSC tuner in the DTV307 is included in the
DM1 module. The DM1 DTV/NTSC tuner is a single
conversion, electronically aligned tuner that is based on
the CTC197 cable tuner design. Design changes were
made to improve cross-modulation, UHF image rejection,
and local oscillator phase noise performance.
Performance is tailored to handle the predicted signal
environment during transition to digital terrestrial
television (HDTV) service as well as providing “cable
ready” performance as specified by the FCC. This tuner
resides on the tuner/link board within the DM1. The tuner
in the DM1 is preceded by a RF switch/splitter that sends
the RF to the DM1 Tuner and to the PIP Tuner (Second
Tuner).
The tuner IF output drives both a digital IF (HDTV
processing path) and an analog IF (NTSC processing
path).
Digital IF (DM1)
The digital I F converts IF frequencies t o near base band
frequencies. It is designed for use with systems receiving
QAM data transmissions. It also includes a RF AGC for
the tuner and accepts an external AGC line to control its
output amplitude.
The combination of SAW filters, buffer and amplifiers are
designed to provide maximum adjacent channel
attenuation, while preserving the desired passband
characteristics.
Stereo Decoder (DM1)
The stereo decoder is designed to decode MTS broadcast
stereo. Functions include stereo demodulation and SAP
(Separate Audio Program) demodulation. The stereo
demodulator is a true MTS decoder, containing a dbx
expander that processes the compressed broadcast stereo
difference signal.
A quad op-amp IC is used to convert the left and right
channels to balanced differential outputs. This is done to
minimize EMI susceptibility, particularly 2H flyback
pulses, that are likely to be picked up in the relatively long
interface cable between the stereo decoder outputs and the
power amplifier inputs.
A/D HDTV (DM1)
The analog to digital conversion sub-system (A/D) of the
HDTV system is responsible for converting the VSB
modulated near-baseband output of the digital IF downconverter to a 10 bit wide digital signal, to be decoded by
the VSB Link sub-system. The analog input shall be AC
coupled, and the A/D subsystem will provide its own
independent biasing for proper DC input level.
VSB Link Subsystem (DM1)
The VSB Link subsystem is responsible for demodulating
and decoding 8 VSB signals that have been downconverted to near-baseband and then digitized by the A/D
subsystem. The VSB Link IC accepts 10 bit wide data
bus from the A/D subsystem and contains circuitry for
digital demodulation, FEC decoding, and serial output of
the decoded data. The VSB Link IC also controls AGC
and symbol timing functions through control of external
analog circuits.
DBS LINK subsystem (DM1)
The Link subsystem contains the circuitry required to
demodulate, correct errors, and output data received from
the satellite signal. In particular, the Link subsystem
contains the Satlink IC and some small amount of analog
circuitry needed for AGC control and clock generation.
The Satlink performs A/D conversion, digital
demodulation and error correction.
NTSC IF (DM1)
The NTSC IF is active for reception of analog television
signals, and inactive during the reception of digital
(HDTV or DBS) television signals. There are two
separate channels, PIF and SIF, for the picture and sound
signals.
YPrPb Output (DM1)
The video D/A converter receives from the HD MPEG
decoder an 81 MHz clock signal and three video data
signals (Y, Cr, Cb), each on an 8 bit bus. (Cr and Cb are
scaled versions of color difference signals (R-Y) and (BY) respectively. When converted to analog signals they
are called Pr and Pb.) The D/A converter outputs analog
Page 5-9
Page 38
DTV307
CIRCUIT OVERVIEW
Y, Pr and Pb signals that are low-pass filtered before
further processing.
In the DM1 the Y, Pr and Pb signals are converted from
single-ended to differential form by three dual operational
amplifiers, which provide positive and negative polarity
output signals. Other outputs are buffered H drive, V drive
and OSD active signals from the HD MPEG decoder.
Video Digitizer triple A/D converter (DM1)
The main component of the video digitizer combines the
functionality of a triple ADC and a clock sync generator.
The Video Digitizer circuitry consists of a single IC
containing three separate 8-bit analog to digital converters
for processing standard (YP
applications. The digitizer also contains the necessary
clock generating and sampling circuits for proper
sampling clock and sync signal creation during the A/D
conversion. The sampling rate of conversio n i s 27 MHz.
) NTSC analog video
RPB
AC3/MPEG/PCM AUDIO AND ANALOG
INPUT/OUTPUTS (DM1)
The audio decoder is a general purpose DSP IC with
ROM specific to the HDTV program. It obtains
compressed packets of input data from the ARM
Transport or non-compressed PCM data from the audio
A/D converter. The processed data is then sent to the D/A
converters via the Serial Audio Interface.
The audio decoding modes supported are:
1) DSS stereo MPEG-1 layer 2 elementary stream with
system layer syntax for PTS.
2) DSS multi-channel AC-3 elementary stream with
MPEG-2 PES for PTS.
3) HDTV multi-channel AC-3 elementary stream with
MPEG-2 PES for PTS.
4) NTSC stereo A/D input with a time delay to
compensate for video 1Fh to 2Fh conversio n delays.
Additionally to the above listed audio decoding modes,
Pro Logic decoding can be performed on two-channel
sources to generate multi channel output.
The optical digital audio output is known as “TOSLINK”.
The optical transmitter can drive a 5M or 10M cable
depending on the receiver module sensitivity. The format
of the optical output can be either compressed AC-3 data
or non-compressed PCM data.
POWER SUPPLY (DM1)
The power supply used for the DM1 is a flyback-type,
current-mode controlled, zero voltage switching (ZVS)
topology utilizing a discrete control circuit and cold-side
regulation. The circuit is functionally similar to those
used for other digital box applications, but has
incorporated post-regulators for the 3.3 volt, 12 volt, and
-5 volt supplies to provide adequate regulation for large
load variations and to reduce the ripple content of the
supplies.
The 21 volt output supplies the LNB switch mode post
regulator that has a selectable output voltage. The Output
voltage ranges for RHCP selected are 11.75 V to 14.0 V,
13.5 volts nominal, and for LHCP selected, 16.75 V to
21.0 V, 18.5 volts nominal. The LNB output voltage is
determined by a logic level input. RHCP is selected with
a logic LOW on the LNB_CT L pin and LHCP is selected
with a logical HIGH. The 21 volt output also supplies the
fan output thro ugh a series zener diode.
A three-terminal error amplifier IC senses the 5 volt
supply and provides feedback to the control circuit
through an opto isolator. A power-fail signal is provide d
to provide advance warning of an imminent supply
voltage dropout.

PTV Digital Convergence Overview
The digital convergence system began in the CTC195 is
carried forward to the DTV307. Again, 195 points may
be independently adjusted in red, blue and green via
software control to achieve an optimum picture for both
geometry and convergence. The complexity, however, is
greatly increased due to multimedia operation and the
addition of an auto-convergence feature, Intelifocus. The
DTV307 is a 16 x 9 HDTV receiver that operates at one
of two horizontal scan rates. Each of these scan modes
requires a separate convergence and geometry alignment.
The data for each scan rate is stored in a separate
convergence “mode” EEPROM.
Auto-Convergence ( INTELIFOCUS )
The auto-convergence system replaces the manual
customer centering system used in the CTC195. When
the TV is moved, auto-convergence should be run in each
mode that is to be used to correct the picture distorting
effects of the local magnetic field. When AutoConvergence activates, the factory EEPROM data that
corresponds to the present horizontal scan frequency loads
to the convergence IC and the edges of moving lighted
color blocks locate 8 optical sensors that surround the
screen. New convergence values for all 195 grid points
are then calculated by the convergence micro processor so
that the three pictures are restored to their factory aligned
positions with respect to the optical sensors. The PTV
adjustment menu allows fine adjustment of red to green
and blue to green at the picture center to optimize the
center convergence. After an adjustment, the convergence
values are recalculated to restore the edge positions. The
center moves to the new adjusted position, the edges
remain fixed and points in between move to blend the two.
Auto-Converge Operation
The optical sensors are photo transistors located just
outside the viewing area in the screen corners and at the
center of each screen edge. They are aimed to look at the
3 projection lenses. From the point of view of each sensor
a very small area of the picture corresponding to the
sensor location is visible through each of the 3 lenses.
The sensors only care if this area is dark or lighted. Each
photo transistor conducts current in proportion to the light
intensity reaching it. All 8 sensors are connected in
parallel to one detector. The auto-convergence sequence
starts with a black screen. Starting at maximum
sensitivity, the detector sensitivity is reduced until all
sensors are off. This process measures the ambient light
reaching the sensors through the screen. If the ambient
light is too great, the light from the projection lenses will
not be detectable. A green square lights in the upper left
corner of the screen and brightens until the green lens
light is seen by the upp er left sensor. The green light must
be brighter than the previously measured ambient light to
be detected. If maximum green drive occurs before light
is seen, the process is stopped and a “No sensor detected,
debug system” error message is displayed. Once the
upper left sensor is detected the other sensors are checked
in all 3 colors in a quick clockwise rotation. Red and Blue
sensitivity is then adjusted at each sensor, again moving
clockwise. Edge location is done by lighting a small
rectangle in one color and moving its edge across the
sensor with a full raster convergence deflection. The light
edges always move so the sensors are initially dark and
then lighted. Edges are detected from different directions
and averaged to cancel out errors due to focus and video
response. The screen edge centers are measured with 2
horizontal and 2 vertical light edge detections. During
raster movement each deflection position requires 3 fields
of video to detect light. The edge location sequence
begins in the upper left in green and proceeds clockwise
around the screen. It is then repeated for red and blue.
Auto Convergence Circuit Description
As in the 195 the Digital Convergence system generates 6
convergence yoke drive signals that correct the geometry
of the 3 rasters. Each of the three colors includes a matrix
of 13 vertical points by 16 horizontal points (208
convergence points) stored in nonvolatile digital memory.
195 of these are adjustable. At turn on or during a mode
change, the appropriate non-volatile digital memory
information is transferred to DigiCon IC RAM memory
and is converted by the DigiCon IC into 6 analog signals
(horizontal and vertical for each of the three CRT'S) that
are power amplified to supply the drive current for the
convergence yokes. Since there are only 13 adjustable
horizontal lines defining the entire vertical scan, signals
for scan lines that are between the adjustable lines are
calculated by the IC using interpolation. In the 307 the
vertical interpolation is smoothed across the adjustment
lines so as to eliminate discontinuities in line density.
This eliminates horizontal banding and allows near perfect
geometry to be achieved. With banding gone, point by
point green adjustment via the TV remote control is
feasible and can be done with the service menu 80 green
or white displays. In the horizontal direction the DigiCon
IC output is digital steps that must be smoothed by low
pass filtering. The low pass filtering is done in the IC
using 6 digital filters. Adjustments interact with points to
the right of the point being adjusted due to the limited
frequency response of the convergence power amplifier.
All data values are adjustable via IIC bus commands.
Each data point can be individually changed (dynamic
adjustment) or the entire raster of a color may be moved
(static adjustment). Several different video test patterns
are generated by the digital convergence IC to aid in the
customer and service adjustments. Customer patterns
consist of a crosshair pattern used to center the red and
Page 5-11

DTV307
blue CRT's to the green and the auto-converge patterns.
Technicians have access to the digital convergence
colored grid patterns of service menu 80.
Electrical Stability Loops
New for the DTV307 convergence is a gain adjusting and
voltage offset canceling drift elimination system. For
each of the 6 yoke signal channels a scan line located near
the center of vertical sync is supplied with standard test
signals. This line is called the “Measuring Line”. The
test signals produce a voltage on the corresponding yoke
current sensing resistor. The test line signals alternate
between a known voltage derived from the convergence
IC internal voltage reference to determine gain and a
ground voltage to de ter mine volta ge offse t. Re d, b lue and
green are measured simultaneously, first for vertical
channel gain and offset with horizontal channels turned
off and then for horizontal channel gain and offset with
vertical channels turned off. The signa l gain and voltage
offset for each channel are automatically adjusted inside
the convergence IC to track and cancel any variation that
might result from temperature changes or component
aging. Setting of the loops causes a short temporary shift
in convergence after a mode change.
Convergence Power Supply
Self-Resonant Converter
The first conduction cycle of Q19701 is started by the
gate capaci tance being charge d up from Raw B+ through
R19701. When Q19701 is turned on, current flows
through the pri mary winding, Q19701 and R19706. The
current will have a slope determined by the primary
inductance. When the voltage across R19706 ramps up
such that Q19703 turns on the off cycle begins. When
Q19703 turns on, Q19702 also is turned on thus pulling
the gate of Q19701 low. The combination of Q19702 and
Q19703 is in the form of an SCR latch. When Q19701
turns off, the energy stored in the transformer is supplied
to the secondaries and the pulse winding. The polarity of
the pulse winding pushes the gate negative and unlatched
the SCR formed by Q19702 and Q19703. With a
complete transfer of energy to the secondary, the voltage
wave for the drive pulse goes positive. This positive
waveform with an added DC supplied by C19719 causes
Q19701 to turn on again.
accomplished by developing a negative supply from the
pulse winding
ON/OFF Control/Supply Startup Delay
When raw B+ is present, transistor Q19704 is biased on
by raw B+. This transistor holds the gate of the Q19701
low thus preventing the power supply from starting. The
12V run signal from the chassis is used as an on/off
signal. This voltage is compared to a slice level of ~7V by
a comparator formed by Q19705 and Q19706. When the
on/off voltage passes ~7V, current is allowed to flow
through U19702 shorting the base of Q19704. This
allows the power supply to start. The circuits at the base
of Q19709 form a delay circuit to allow the power
supplies to start up. Initially the current flowing through
U19402 is directed through Q19709. This continues until
the delay capacitor (C19705) charges up. At this point
Q19709 turns off. After the supply has started the current
through U19702 is directed through Q19710.
Secondary Voltage Detection
As mentioned in the previous section, the current through
U19702 is directed through Q19710 when the supply is up
and running. This t ransistor is turned on only when the
+20V supply is in a certain voltage range. CR19706,
CR19707 and CR19720 set this range. When an
excessive load is put on the supply, the supply goes into
current limiting. This could also b e call power limiting in
that the voltages drop as the current increases. When the
+20V supply drops to about 16V the transistor Q19710 is
turned off. Since Q19709 is turned off after the initial
delay, the curr ent through U19702 is cut off. This causes
the supply to turn off until the instrument is turned off and
back on again.
Convergence Amplifiers
The convergence amplifier section of the convergence
board consists of six optimized power amplifiers. Each of
the six convergence amplifiers drives one of the
convergence yokes whose current is controlled by its
respective drive signal from the digital convergence
generator. The gain of the amplifiers, defined as the ratio
of output current to input voltage, is set by a current sense
resistor and the sensed voltage divider, which determines
the fraction of the sensed voltage to be applied as
feedback signal.
Regulation of this supply can be accomplished controlling
the point at which Q19703 turns on. This is done by a
voltage source on the emitter or Q19703. By changing the
control voltage, the duty cycle of the converter can be
changed. The voltage on capacitor C19704 is changed to
regulate the system. The regulation of this system is

no channel number entry field appears. If “DIRECTV” is
selected, then one four-digit channel entry field is displayed
that allows a channel to be entered.
Channel Hold has 3 timer settings “At Power On”,
“Always”, and “After 5 Min.”. The setting is selected by
highlighting the toggle field and pressing OK until the
desired option is displayed. When “At Power Off” is
selected, the system tunes to the selected channel when the
system is turned off. This permits the system to receive
supplemental data when the user is not viewing a program.
If “Always” is selected, the system is locked to the
specified channel and the channel cannot be changed.
Program Guide timeouts are also disabled to facilitate
creation of a guide channel using a dedicated receiver.
When “After 5 Min.” is selected, the system will
automatically return to the selected channel after 5 minutes
has elapsed between remote control keypresses (this setting
is for showroom floor use).
Once selections have been made pressing the “Done”
button enables the feature immediately and stores the
settings in EEPROM. If the “Clear” action button is
selected, it restores normal channel selection by disabling
the Channel Hold setting and clearing the channel entry
area(s) with dashes.

DM1 SERVICE MENU OVERVIEW
If Channel Hold is set to “Always”, it is possible to turn the
system on with the remote control only with the device
button that corresponds to the system (TV or DIRECTV)
chosen for the Channel Hold. For example, if the Channel
Hold has been set to “Tune to DIRECTV Channel 601
Always”, pressing TV on the remote will not turn the
HDTV on. There is no device restriction if “After 5 Min.”
or “At Power Off” settings are selected.
If Channel Hold is set up for "Antenna A", then switching
to "Antenna B" shall be prohibited and vice-versa. When
the Channel Hold feature is enabled access to the user of
some screens is disabled (Antenna Info, Channel Search,
Signal Source, pressing Antenna key on the remote).
Power Lockout
Prevents the unit from being turned off. In the event
primary power to the receiver is interrupted, the receiver
would be placed back into the same state as before primary
power was interrupted, i.e., the receiver would tune to a
channel or display the guide. The default is power
unlocked.
Phone Prefix
Allows service personnel to enter a 1-digit number to
access an outside line and a Call Waiting disable code.
“Call Waiting Disable” allows service personnel to enter
four digits to disable call waiting. The user can either enter
the digits di rectly usi ng the 0 -9 keys on t he re mote contr ol,
or they can cycle through the numbers a nd the # and * keys
using the up and down navigation arrows.
Modem Number
Allows service personnel to enter an 11-digit phone number
to be used dur i ng the System Test.
Error Report
When an error occurs in the DM, some information about
this error is stored in EEPROM. The list of erro rs that have
information logged (archived) is limited to 3. The
information stored is date/time of occurrence, error code,
module ID, function ID and spot ID. The date/time and
error code are displayed on the screen. The error code has
the module ID embedded in it so the last 3 fields do not
need to be displayed on screen. When an error occurs in
the TV, information about this error is sent to the DM micro
through the ICP link and t he same kind of information is
stored in EEPROM.
Three errors are stored for the TV and 3 for the DM. The
first, second and last errors are stored. When the system is
shipped from the factory, the EEPROM error fields have
been cleared through the "reset shipping defaults"
command. The screen has a "Clear All" button on it that
allows these fields to be cleared.
Transponder Channel Mapping
The Sat Channel Map function is hidden within the Service
Menu. In order to access it, the "Error Report" button needs
to be highlighted, and then press "8" on the remote control.
The “Sat Channel Map” button will appear highlighted and
the Sat Channel Map display area will appear on the right.
The “Sat Channel Map” button will insert itself between
Modem Number and Error Report.
With the Transponder Channel Mapping function, the user
can enter a transponder number and the corresponding
channels will be displayed, or the user can enter a channel
number and the corresponding transponder will be
displayed. The "Channel/Transponder" field is also a
choice field so pressing
