WARNING: The following precautions must be observed.
ALL PRODUCTS
1. Before any service is performed on the chassis an isolation transformer should be inserted between the power line and
the product.
2. When replacing the chassis in the cabinet, ensure all the protective devices are put back in place.
3. When service is required, observe the original lead dressing. Extra precaution should be taken to ensure correct lead
dressing in any high voltage circuitry area.
4. Many electrical and mechanical parts in HITACHI products have special safety related characteristics. These
characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be
obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these
special safety characteristics are identified by marking with a ! on the schematics and the replacement parts list.
The use of a substitute replacement component that does not have the same safety characteristics as the HITACHI
recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list, may create electrical shock, fire, X-radiation, or other hazards.
5. Always replace original spacers and maintain lead lengths. Furthermore, where a short circuit has occurred, replace those
components that indicate evidence of overheating.
6. Insulation resistance should not be less than 2M ohms at 500V DC between the main poles and any accessible metal
parts.
7. No flashover or breakdown should occur during the dielectric strength test, applying 3kV AC or 4.25kV DC for two
seconds between the main poles and accessible metal parts.
8. Before returning a serviced product to the customer, the service technician must thoroughly test the unit to be certain that
it is completely safe to operate without danger of electrical shock. The service technician must make sure that no
protective device built into the instrument by the manufacturer has become defective, or inadvertently damaged during
servicing.
CE MARK
1. HITACHI products may contain the CE mark on the rating plate indicating that the product contains parts that have been
specifically approved to provide electromagnetic compatibility to designated levels.
2. When replacing any part in this product, please use only the correct part itemised in the parts list to ensure this standard
is maintained, and take care to replace lead dressing to its original state, as this can have a bearing on the
electromagnetic radiation/immunity.
PICTURE TUBE
1. The line output stage can develop voltages in excess of 25kV; if the E.H.T. cap is required to be removed, discharge the
anode to chassis via a high value resistor, prior to its removal from the picture tube.
2. High voltage should always be kept at the rated value of the chassis and no higher. Operating at higher voltages may
cause a failure of the picture tube or high voltage supply, and also, under certain circumstances could produce X-radiation
levels moderately in excess of design levels. The high voltage must not, under any circumstances, exceed 29kV on the
chassis (except for projection Televisions).
3. The primary source of X-radiation in the product is the picture tube. The picture tube utilised for the above mentioned
function in this chassis is specially constructed to limit X-radiation. For continued X-radiation protection, replace tube with
the same type as the original HITACHI approved type
4. Keep the picture tube away from the body while handling. Do not install, remove, or handle the picture tube in any manner
unless shatterproof goggles are worn. People not so equipped should be kept away while picture tubes are handled

SERVICE DATA SETTINGS. This is the data set in SERVICE mode for various models.
The operation of a comb filter is to separate the composite video into luminance and reconstruct the chrominance colour sub carrier
signal using digital signal processing techniques. The comb filter IC, IN01 has an additional vertical edge enhancement feature.
Composite video input (Pin 6 of connector E500) and colour sub-carrier (pin 8 of E500) are converted via an 8 bit analogue to digital
converter where the vertical enhancement and digital comb filtering takes place. Separated luminance and chrominance output
components are available via a digital to analogue 8 bit converter at pins 1 & 4 respectively.
SCAN VELOCITY MODULATION.
During transmission the signal sufferers from degradation and also due to the frequency characteristics of the television circuitry.
This normally results in a gently rise or fall in the luminance change areas when black-to-white-to-black patterns are received.
The picture sharpness quality can be assessed by how steep the leading and trailing edges are. The scan velocity modulation circuit
has been designed to improve picture quality, i.e. make the video signal edges steeper, by controlling the horizontal scanning
velocity of the electron beam in the CRT.
The velocity modulation circuit produces a compensation signal by adding the RGB components then differentiating. The
compensation signal is given some current gain, applied to the auxiliary coil (connector E806) on the neck of the cathode ray tube
(CRT).
The VM circuit is located on the CRT base along with the final RGB amplifiers. The RGB signals derive from PL803 pins 4-6 and
into emitter of Q861, through the differentiator C863, R891 arriving at the base of Q862 for voltage amplification and latter stages,
power gain.
DIGITAL DOUBLE SCAN CONVERSION UNIT (FEATURE BOX).
The main feature of this unit is double scan frequency conversion, 100/120Hz interlaced and 50/60Hz progressive scan. Other
features of this unit are CTI (Colour Transient Improvement), horizontal compression, noise reduction, sharpness and vertical zoom.
These functions are controlled by I2C bus and are provided elsewhere by the picture improvement IC, TDA 9178 (IE01) for digital
models without 100Hz/progressive scan.
Scan rate conversion mode for display

As the diagram shows, A/B are the Odd/Even original 50Hz signal fields which are used to create extra picture information, while
A*/B* are the predicted/manipulated extra picture information, created by the feature box. Fig.1 shows the differences between
100/120Hz interlaced and 50/60Hz progressive scan. The biggest advantage of progressive scan is "non-interlaced" scanning;
keeping the field frequency at 50/60Hz. This means the line construction is double per field, compared with 100/120Hz interlaced. It
will make very fine pitch scan lines and will eliminate line flicker. The advantage of selecting 100Hz operation will be the reduction of
large area flicker and will reduce the line flicker (except for A8 W30 100Hz models).
This unit is powered from +5V and +8V supplies, feeding into pins 21, 22 and 26 of E10 respectively. The three input 50Hz video
signals Y, U, V are sent to this unit at pins 8, 10 and 12 of E11. The Y, U, V video output signals (double frequency video) are taken
from pins 5, 3 and 1 of E11. The horizontal and vertical sync signals are input to this unit as a composite sync signal at 24 of E10,
the double frequency horizontal and vertical sync signals outputs are from pins 30 and 31of E10.
INPUT PROCESSOR - PHILIPS TDA 9320.
The TDA9320 is a multistandard input processor. Features include:
VIDEO OUTPUTS/EXTERNAL INPUTS.
The input processor has provision for three CVBS inputs (1 internal & 2 external) and 2 Y/C inputs. The external CVBS inputs are
used for the Scart sockets. The Y/C inputs are used for S-VHS and a third CVBS input. The circuit can detect whether CVBS or a
Y/C signal is presented to AV3 input. The I.C. has 2 RGB inputs with fast switching. The switching of the various sources is
controlled by I2C and detection of a Comb filter can be made.
SYNCHRONISATION.
The sync separator is preceded by a controlled amplifier which adjusts the sync pulse amplitude to a fixed level. These pulses are
fed to the slicing stage which is operating at 50% of the amplitude. The sync pulses are fed to the phase detector and to the
coincidence detector. This coincidence detector is used to detect whether the line oscillator is synchronised and can also be used
for transmitter identification. The PLL has a very high statical steepness so that the phase of the picture is independent of the line
frequency.
For the horizontal output pulse, two conditions are possible:
An HA pulse which has a phase and width which is identical to the incoming horizontal sync pulse.
A clamp pulse CLP which has a phase and width which is identical to the clamp pulse in the sandcastle pulse.
The HA/CLP signal is generated by means of an oscillator which is running at a frequency of 440 x FH. Its frequency is divided by
440 to lock the first loop to the incoming signal. The free running frequency of the oscillator is determined by a digital control circuit
which is locked to the reference signal of the colour decoder. When the coincidence detector indicates an out of lock situation the
calibration procedure is repeated.
The vertical pulse is obtained via a vertical count down circuit. The countdown circuit has various windows depending on the
incoming signal (50/60Hz).
VISION I.F. AMPLIFIER.
The video signal is demodulated by means of a PLL carrier regenerator. This circuit contains a frequency detector and a phase
detector. During acquisition the frequency detector will tune the VCO to the right frequency. After lock-in, the phase detector controls
the VCO so that a stable phase relation between VCO and the input signal is achieved. The VCO is running at double the I.F.
frequency with the reference signal for the demodulator obtained by means of a frequency divider circuit.
The AFC output is obtained by using the VCO control voltage of the PLL and can be read via the I2C bus. The AGC detector
operates on top sync and top white level. The time constant on the AGC system during positive modulation is long to avoid visible
variations of the signal amplitude. To improve the speed of the AGC system a circuit has been included which detects whether the
AGC detector is activated every frame period. When during 3 field periods no action is detected the speed of the system is
increased. For signals without peak white information the system switches automatically to a gated black level AGC. Because a
black level clamp pulse is required for this way of operation the circuit will only switch to black level AGC in the internal mode.
The circuit contains a video identification circuit which is independent of the synchronisation circuit. Therefore search tuning is
possible when the display section of the receiver is used as a monitor.
CHROMA & LUMA PROCESSING.
The I.C. contains a chrominance bandpass filter , the SECAM cloche and chrominance traps. The filters are calibrated using the
tuning frequency and the crystal frequency of the colour decoder. The luminance output signal which is derived from the incoming
CVBS or Y/C signal can be varied in amplitude by means of a separate gain control.
COLOUR DECODING.
The colour decoder can decode PAL, NTSC and SECAM signals. The PAL / NTSC decoder contains an alignment free crystal
oscillator with 4 separate pins, a killer circuit and two colour difference demodulators. The 90o phase shift for the reference signal is
made internally. Because it is possible to connect 4 different crystals to the colour decoder, all colour standards can be decoded
without external switching circuits. Crystals not used must be left open. The horizontal oscillator is calibrated by means of the crystal
frequency of the PLL.
The I.C. contains an automatic colour limiting circuit which is switchable which prevents over saturation when signals with a high
chroma-to-burst ratio are received. The acl circuit is designed such that it only reduces the chroma signal and not the burst. This has
the advantage that the colour sensitivity is not affected by this function.
The SECAM decoder contains an auto-calibrating PLL demodulator which has two references, the 4.43MHz sub-carrier frequency
which is obtained from the crystal oscillator which is used to tune the PLL to the desired free running frequency and the bandgap
reference to obtain the correct absolute value of the output signal. The VCO of the PLL is calibrated during each vertical blanking
period, when the I.C. is in search or SECAM mode. The base-band delay line is integrated into the package.

PICTURE IMPROVEMENT - PHILIPS TDA 9178.
The picture improvement IC is an analogue video processor offering three main processing functions; luminance vector, colour
vector and spectral processing. Features presently being implemented are; luminance transient improvement (LTI), colour transient
improvement (CTI), variable gamma control and picture dependant non-linear Y and U, V processing by luminance histogram
analysis.
The spectral processor provides luminance transient improvement, luminance detail enhancement by smart peaking and colour step
improvement (CTI). The linewidth control may be user defined. The luminance vector processor, the transfer function is controlled in
a non-linear manor by histogram analysis of measured luminance values measured in a picture. As a result the contrast ratio of the
most important parts of the scene will be improved. A variable gamma function after the conversion offers the possibility of
alternative brightness control or factory adjustment of the picture tube.
The following functions sharpness, noise reduction and colour transient improvement (CTI) are provided by the picture improvement
IC for digital models, while 100Hz/progressive scan models provide these functions within the double scan module. All functions
described are switchable/adjustable via I2C control using the options in the service menu.
Y, U and V signals are taken from I200 pins 49, 50 & 51 and go straight into Yin Uin and Vin (pins 6, 8 and 9 of IE01). The enhanced
Y, U & V outputs originate from IE01 (pins 19, 17 & 16 respectively) and are directed to IE02 (pins 28, 27 & 26 respectively).
TUNER.
The tuner U100, is a frequency synthesis type with an unbalanced input, powered from the +5V rail while the tuning voltage is
supplied by the +33V rail, supplied from the horizontal deflection circuit. Direct frequency access, channel selection, AGC and AFC
functions are controlled via the I2C bus. AGC, AFC and Offset controls may be selected by entering the service menu and selecting
the ‘tuner’ option.
Pin 1, AGC is taken from pin 62 of TDA 9320. The balanced I.F. output is taken from pins 10 & 11, which are then arrive at both the
inputs of the vision and sound SAW filters (pins 1 & 2). The outputs from X200 and X202 (pins 4 & 5 respectively) pass through to
pins 2 & 3 and pins 63 & 64 of I200, where they are demodulated.
RGB PROCESSOR - TDA 9330.
VERTICAL DEFLECTION & GEOMETRY CONTROLS.
The drive circuit for the vertical and E-W deflection circuits are generated by means of a vertical divider which gets its clock from the
line oscillator. The divider is synchronised by the incoming vertical pulse, generated by the input processor or the feature box.
The vertical drive is realised by means of a differential output current. The outputs must be DC coupled to the vertical output stage.
The vertical geometry can be adjusted by I2C control via the service menu.
HORIZONTAL SYNCHRONISATION & DRIVE CIRCUIT.
The horizontal drive signal is obtained from an internal VCO which is running at a frequency of 13.75MHz. This oscillator is
stabilised to this frequency by means of a resonant oscillator 12 MHz. The internal VCO is synchronised to the incoming horizontal
Hd pulse by means of a PLL with an internal time constant. The horizontal drive signal generated by means of a second control loop
which compares the phase of the reference signal from the internal VCO with the flyblack pulse. The time constant loop is internal.
The I.C. has a dynamic horizontal phase correction input which can be used to compensate phase shifts which are caused by beam
current variations. Additional settings of the horizontal deflection which are realised via the second loop are the horizontal shift and
the parallelogram correction.
The horizontal drive signal is switched on and off via the so called soft-start/soft-stop procedure. This function is realised by means
of a variation to the Ton of the horizontal drive pulse. For EHT generators without bleeder the I.C. can be set in a fixed beam current
mode. In that case the picture tube capacitance is discharged with a current of about 1mA which is determined by the black current
feedback loop. With the fixed beam current option activated it is still possible to have a black screen during switch-off. This can be
realised by placing the vertical deflection in an overscan position.
An additional function of the I.C. is the low-power start-up feature. This mode is activated when a supply voltage of 5V is supplied to
the start-up pin. The required current for this function is 3mA typical. In this condition the horizontal drive signal has the normal T
and Ton grows gradually from zero to about 30% of the normal value. This results in a line frequency of about 50kHz or 25kHz. The
output signal remains unchanged until the mains voltage is switched-on. Then the horizontal drive signal will gradually change to the
normal frequency and duty cycle via the soft-start procedure.
The I.C. has a general purpose bus controlled DAC output with a resolution of 6 bits and with an output voltage range between 0.2
to 4V.

INPUT SIGNALS.
The RGB control circuit of the TDA 9330 contains three sets of input signals.
Y, U, V, input signals which are supplied by the input processor or feature box. The nominal input signals for u and V are 1.33 V
and 1.05V

Two RGB sources are intended for use by the Scart, while the second is used for the OSD and teletext. The required input signal
has an amplitude of 0.7V

Switching between various sources can be realised via the I2C bus and by fast insertion switches. The circuit contains switchable
matrix circuits for the colour difference signal so that the colour reproduction can be adapted for PAL/SCAM and NTSC.

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER.
The output signal has an amplitude of around 2V black-to-white at nominal settings. The required white point setting of the picture
tube is implemented by 3 separate gain settings for the RGB channels.

To obtain an accurate biasing of the tube, a continuous cathode calibration circuit is implemented by means of a two point black
level stabilisation circuit. By inserting 2 test levels for each gun and comparing the resulting cathode currents with two different
reference currents the influence of the picture tube parameters like the spread in cut-off voltage can be eliminated.
SIGNAL PATH DESCRIPTION.
The I.F. signal is obtained from SAW filters X200 (vision) and X202 (Sound ) pins 4 & 5 and are fed into pins 2 & 3 vision and 63 &
64 sound of I200. A composite video signal is available at pin 10 from the vision demodulator. I.F. sound out from pin 6. The video is
taken from pin 10 via C304 into pin 12 and out at pin 13. This is the selectable Group Delay via software input output. The
composite video gets taken through buffer and filtering stages where the desired video returns to I200 at pin 14.
The AV switching matrix supports two Scart sockets, phono CVBS and S-VHS inputs. Scart CVBS inputs are at pins 20 (AV1 E301)
and 16 (AV2 E302), CVBS outputs to Scart pins 19 from emitter of Q301 (AV1) and emitter of Q303 (AV2). The RGB input (Digital
models) to I200 from the Digital Terrestrial Tuner (DTT) comes to pins 36-38, from P301 pins 9, 7 and 5, respectively. S-VHS input
is via E300 to pin 23 & 24 of IE02, detection of CVBS input is detected within IE02. For models with progressive scan feature
detection for a Comb filter has been fitted via Y/C input pins 28 & 29. Colour sub-carrier output for the Comb filter is form pin 30.
Y, U and V signals are taken from I200 pins 49, 50 & 51 and go straight into Yin Uin and Vin (pins 6, 8 and 9 of IE01) for 50Hz
operation, while 100Hz operation, Y, U, V signals are directed to pins 9, 10 & 12 of the double scan module (UQ01).
Other miscellaneous pins such as the sandcastle pin 59 is independent of the sandcastle pulse generated by IE02, they do not drive
each other. The Vertical and Horizontal output pulses generated by I200 drive the double scan module, pins 18 & 19 respectively
(100Hz operation) or the IE02 (50Hz operation) pins 23 & 24. I2C control lines are pins 46 & 47, and tuner AGC control voltage is
present at pin 62.
As already previously described Y, U, V signals in either 50Hz/100Hz/Progressive scan mode are sent to pins 26-28 of the TDA
9330 (IE02). Once inside the RGB processor, geometry and synchronisation functions can be implemented before being sent to the
CRT base (pins 40-42 of IE02 & 3-5 of P302) for final video amplification and to the velocity modulation circuit.
The vertical drive output is provided by pin 1 & 2 of IE02 directly to I601 Vertical Output I.C. (pins 11 & 12). Horizontal output is from
pin 8 of IE02 and feeds the base of Q701 Bipolar (50Hz), Q701B MOSFET (100Hz). East-West drive output can be obtained at pin 3
and is driving the gate of the East-West MOSFET Q700.
I2C is present at pins 10 & 11 (IE02) and +8V supply rails at pins 7 & 17. Two sets of RGB inputs are available, only one set is used
for the OSD, pins 35-37, the other is for a VGA board which is not fitted.
AUDIO CIRCUIT
The output from the Tuner T1 is fed via a gain and buffer stage formed by Q200 and Q201 to the Saw Filter X202. The saw filter has
two separate characteristics depending on which of the two inputs (on pin 1 and 2 of the Saw Filter) the signal is applied to.
Selection is achieved by the combination of Q204 and Q203. For most standards, pin 1 is selected. However, when an L’ Signal has
been selected , the micro ( I001) instructs I200 via an I2C command to take pin 19 high. When this happens Q204 conducts taking
pin 1low and switching Q203 and D203 off. This means that the collector of Q203 goes high allowing D202 to conduct and hence
the signal to be applied to pin 2. To return to other broadcast standards, pin 19 of I200 is obviously returned to the low condition.
The output of the Saw is applied to pins 63 and 64 of I200. Here the Signal is transformed from the 1st IF (30 – 40 MHz depending
on transmission standard) to the sound IF (5.5 to 6.5 MHz depending on the transmission standard ).
I200 also provides AM demodulation for the L’ and L standards. The demodulated signal appears superimposed on the Sound IF on
pin 5 of I200.
This signal then takes two paths. The first takes it through a Low pass filter formed by R426 and C427 and coupling capacitor C426.
This is then applied to pin 55 of I400 and forms the AM sound Input. The second path takes the signal through a amplifier and buffer
stage formed by Q400 and Q401.
After these stages some high pass filtering is applied by C464 and R477 before the sound IF is applied to pin 60 of I400 via C431.
I400 is The MSP3410D. This IC provides Nicam , FM Mono and FM Stereo Demodulation as well as matrixing of the scart / digital
receiver signals (If Fitted).
The AV1 input is applied on pins 52 and 53, the AV2 input on pins 49 and 50, the AV3 input on pins 46 and 47. The Digital input
(DTT) is applied to pins 43 and 44 (when fitted). In Each case a 100R resistor and 330n capacitor is used.
The Scart outputs on I400 use the following protocol.

AUDIO OUTPUT
The left, right, centre and surround signals are output from pins 29, 28 26 and 25 of the MSP3410D (I400) and are then applied to
an operational amplifier (IF03) at pins 5, 10, 12 and 3 respectively. This adds 3dB of gain.
The outputs from IF03 for the left and right (pins 7 and 8) are supplied to both the audio amplifier (I401) via the attenuation networks
R443 / R439 & R446 / R447 and the phono outputs via buffer transistors QF02 and QF01.
The centre and surround outputs from IF03 (pins 14 and 1) are only supplied to the phono outputs via buffer transistors QF22 and
QF21.
The left and right output stage consists of one TDA7297 (I401) which is a dual bridge amplifier which in this case is driven to give
12W per channel @ 10% thd. The power output is limited by the Vcc supply to pins 3 & 13.
The left and right signals are input to pins 4 & 6 and the outputs obtained from pins 1& 2 and 14 & 15.
Warning. Neither output for either channel is connected to the chassis ground so caution must be taken if an oscilloscope and
other mains operated equipment with a common earth is to be used simultaneously when checking the audio outputs.
The TDA7297 has two control lines on pins 6 & 7. These control inputs are high when the outputs are active and low when muted.
The outputs from pins 2 and 14 of I401 are connected directly to pins 2 and 3 of P400. The outputs from pins 1 and 15 are
connected to pins 1 and 4 of P400 via the headphone socket J400. When a set of headphones is inserted the connections between
I401 and P400 are broken. The left and right outputs from pins 1 and 15 of I401are connected to ground via C438 / R438 & the left
headphone coil and C437 / R437 & the right headphone coil respectively. This method was used to limit the power dissipated in the
headphones.
J400 also contains a switch for the 16V supply that appears at the rear single phono socket. When a suitable plug is inserted into
the headphone socket the connection between pins 8 and 9 of J400 is broken removing the 16V from pin 8. This is sensed by pin 19
of I001 (the micro processor) via the potential divider R473 and R474, this tells I001 to change the audio menu’s to the headphone
versions (Dolby models only).
The 16V is also removed from the rear phono socket, this turns off the infra red surround sound speaker transmitter or the power
console (if connected - not supplied with all models).
For non Dolby models the speaker leads are connected directly to P400. For Dolby models the internal speakers are connected
from P400 via a sub panel screwed to the rear of the chassis frame. This houses two din type speaker sockets with internal
switches. The switches disconnect the internal left and right speakers when a plug is inserted, thus allowing external left and right
speakers to be fitted.
DOLBY DECODER.
The Dolby decoding is provided by IF01 (YSS241) The signals which are sent to this device from I400 in the I2S format, and are:SD0 (Pin Of I400) - the Left and Right channel data (before Dolby decoding)
SCK (Pin Of I400) - the system or bit clock
WS (Pin Of I400) - the word select line, provides selection between the Left and Right samples on the SDO Line.
IFO1 is provided with an 18.432 MHz clock via pin 1 of I400 (SYSCLK),a reset line from pin 4, and is I2C controlled. The Pro-logic
signals that the device decodes are provided in I2S form at pins 40 and 41 (DACS1 and DALR) These signals are in a 32bit per
channel format ( The MSP4310D uses 16 bit) and must therefore pass through a conversion IC IF02. This IC also takes a Bit clock,
DABC from pin 36 of IF01. IF02 then provides the 16 bit pro-logic I2S channels as SDI1 and SDI2 on pins 14 and 20 of I400.
I400 then passes these signals through DAC’s so that the Left, Right, Centre and Surround signals appear at pins 29, 28,26 and 25
as Pre-L, Pre-R, Pre-C and Pre-S respectively. Theses are then amplified by 3dB by op-amp IF03 to become AmpL, AmpR, Centre
and Surround. These then pass through a buffer and filter network to the four way phono plug JF01. The AmpL and AmpR signals
split off before the buffers to the amplifier I401 via dividing resistors R443/R439 and R446/R447 and are decoupled by C443 and
C445. The operation of the amplifier is explained elsewhere in this manual.
DEFLECTION
100HZ HORIZONTAL DEFLECTION STAGE (A8)
The 2H output from UQ01 (the feature box) from pin 30 is fed via K66 and RH03 to pin 24 of IE02 TDA9330 the "HOP".
The horizontal drive is then output from pin 8 is passed through an emitter follower stage (Q705) to the gate of Q701B. A mosfet is
used to sharpen the switching edges and reduce the temperature of the power transistor Q751. The drain of Q701B is fed from the
+B via R701 and the primary of the drive transformer T702. The secondary of the transformer drives the base of the power transistor
Q751, the collector of which is supplied from the +B via R751, L700 and the primary of the FBT T701. The emitter is connected to
ground via R760 a 1 Ohm 10W resistor ( R760 should be kept away from Q751 heatsink to reduce heat transfer) which is a sense
resistor for the protection circuit.
The capacitive divider network C717 and C708 produce a line pulse which is sampled by Z704 and clamped by D713 and D714 this
is then returned to pin 13 of IE02.
50HZ HORIZONTAL DEFLECTION STAGE (D8)
The HA OUT from pin 60 of I200 TDA9320 the "HIP" is fed via K66 and RH03 to pin 24 of IE02 TDA9330 the "HOP".
The horizontal drive is then output from pin 8 is fed to the base of Q701. The collector of Q701 is supplied from the +B via R701 and
the primary of the drive transformer T702. The secondary of T702 drives the base of the power transistor Q751. The collector of
Q751 is supplied from the +B via R751, L700 and the primary of the FBT T701. The emitter is connected to ground via R760 which
is a sense resistor for the protection circuit.
The capacitive divider network C717 and C708 produce a line pulse which is sampled by Z704 and clamped by D713 and D714 this
is then returned to pin 13 of IE02.
17
VERTICAL DEFLECTION
On the 50Hz D8 the vertical drive pulse come from pin 61 (VA OUT) of I200 and on the 100Hz A8 it comes from pin 31 of UQ01.
This is fed via K65 and RV02 to pin 23 of IE02. The vertical sawtooth waveforms are output from pins 1 and 2 of IE02 and fed to
pins 11 and 12 of I601 via RV04 and RV03. I601 (TDA8354) is the vertical output amplifier, it requires 2 supply voltages,
approximately 14V to pins 4 and 10 to operate the IC and approximately 48V to pin 7 for the flyback pulse generator. The outputs
are from pins 2 and 9 with the gain setting feedback resistors R602 and R603 connected to pin 5.
Pin 1 is the vertical guard which is connected to pin 9 of IE02 if a vertical failure is detected the vertical part of the sandcastle pulse
is removed and IE02 blanks the picture to prevent damage to the tube. Z615 samples the flyback pulse which is then clamped by
Z606 this generates the frame pulse used by the micro I001.
EAST WEST CORRECTION
The east west parabola is output from pin 3 of IE02 and fed to the gate of Q700 via RH04. The drain of Q700 is connected to the
centre of the diode modulator D706 and D707 via the east west injection coil L751.

MICROCONTROLLER SECTION ON THE A8/D8 CHASSIS
INTRODUCTION:
The main microcontroller on the A8/D8 chassis is located at I001 (ST92R195B). This is an 80-pin QFP (quad-flat package) that is
surface mounted for compactness. This highly complex device controls many of the other integrated circuits via dedicated
input/output lines or the I2C bus. This device also generates the RGB signals for the on-screen display (OSD) menus and the
teletext. The device can acquire, decode and display the teletext without the need for a separate IC. This microcontroller is ROMless which results in the need of a separate memory device to store the program code necessary for operating the television. This
memory device is located at I002 and is multi-time programmable (MTP). This allows the device to be re-programmed and in the
future can even be re-programmed in the board without having to remove the back cabinet of the TV. The television stores all the
necessary customer preferences and operating settings in an on-board EEPROM (E2). This device can hold 2Kb of information for
storing the programme information (frequency, name, AV setting, etc.), factory alignment settings (geometry, white balance, tuner
AFC/AGC, etc.), service diagnostic errors and customer control settings (volume, brightness, contrast, etc.). This device
communicates with the main microcontroller via the I2C bus, even in the standby mode.
MAIN MICROCONTROLLER (I001)
INTRODUCTION
The ST92R195B is an enhanced microcontroller based on the ST9+ instruction set from STMicroelectronics. It is capable of
displaying menus and teletext for 50Hz and 100Hz televisions. This device can acquire/decode and display pages of teletext
information in FLOF (FastText) and TOP (only in Germany/Switzerland/Austria) modes. The device operates from a single 4MHz
crystal and a +5V supply. Dedicated address/data lines enable it to access 4Mbytes of address space, even though in this television
it is accessing 128Kbytes (1Mbit). These address/data lines are connected to the EPROM/MTP device which holds the instructions
necessary for controlling the television.
DESCRIPTION
EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE MMU ADDRESS LINES
•Pins 1 (MMU0), 15 (MMU1) and 16 (MMU2) are used to access addresses above 64Kbytes. Normally pins 15 and 16 are
not used when using a 128Kbyte EPROM/MTP device (MX26C1000APC) in position I002.
•Pin 2 (MMU3) is used to select between either the EPROM/MTP in position I002, or a future device that can be fitted in
position I003. When this line is low, the MX26C1000APC device in position I002 is enabled (chip enable).
•Pin 17 (MMU4) is used as an output port to derive a clock signal needed for shifting the data into the 74HC595 shift
register (I006).
• Pin 18 (MMU5) is not used.
EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE CONTROL LINES
•Pin 4 is the Data strobe line which is connected to the output enable input of the EPROM/MTP (I002). When data is read
from the EPROM/MTP, this line is temporarily low.
•Pin 8 is the Read/Write line for I003. Normally, this line is not used (HIGH) but if an SRAM were to be fitted into this
position, the line could be low when writing data to the SRAM.
EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE ADDRESS LINES
•Pins 3, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14 and 71 to 80 are the address lines needed to specify which location in a 64Kbyte page is needed to
be accessed from the EPROM/MTP (I002). These lines are also connected to I003 if an SRAM is to be fitted in future.
Normally these lines will be changing state (0V to approx. +5V). By placing an oscilloscope on pin 12 of the EPROM/MTP
(I002) it can be confirmed that the microcontroller is operating successfully. In this case, this line should be changing state
very frequently.
EXTERNAL MEMORY INTERFACE DATA LINES
•Pins 63 to 70 are the 8 data lines needed for receiving data from the EPROM/MTP (I002). If an SRAM were to be fitted in
position I003, then these lines would be used to transfer data from the microcontroller to the SRAM. Under normal
circumstances these lines change from LOW (0V) to HIGH (approx. +5V).
GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pin 9 (GNDM) is the ground connection (0V) for the external memory interface. This should be free of noise to enable
successful communications between the microcontroller and the EPROM/MTP (or SRAM).
• Pin 35 (GND) is the digital ground connection (0V) for normal operation of the device.
• Pin 62 (GNDA) is the analogue ground connection for the DAC and phase lock loops (PLL’s).
SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
•Pin 10 (VDDM) is the +5V supply for the external memory interface. Without this supply, the microcontroller cannot
communicate with the EPROM/MTP (or SRAM).
• Pin 34 (VDD) is the main digital supply voltage to the IC (5V 10% tolerance).
• Pin 52 (VDDA) is the analogue supply voltage for the DAC’s and PLL’s (+5V). These connections are all joined together
to the +5V standby rail of the television, ensuring that the microcontroller operates even in the standby state.
19
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR CONNECTIONS
• Pin 11 is the 4MHz crystal oscillator input (OSCIN).
• Pin 12 is the 4MHz crystal oscillator output (OSCOUT). By connecting a x100 scope probe to pin 11, it can be seen if a
4MHz sine wave is present at the oscillator input to the microcontroller.
RESET CONNECTION
•Pin 54 is the active low RESET input of the microcontroller. This input is normally high (approx. +5V) under operating
conditions, but changes state when the standby +5V power supply is typically below +4.5V. In this circumstance, the reset
IC (I021) pulls pin 54 low until the input of it is above +4.5V. The diode (D001) ensures that the capacitor (C015)
discharges quickly when the standby supply falls, so that the reset operates quickly. The capacitor (C015) charges up
slowly when the standby +5V supply is restored, ensuring that there is some hysteresis.
INFRA-RED (IR) RECEIVER INPUT
•Pin 25 is the IR receiver’s filtered output. This input from the IR receiver consists of PWM pulses between 0V and +5V
which are decoded by the microcontroller into useful commands from the handset. When a valid command has been
decoded, the Red LED on the front of the TV will briefly flash.
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL SYNCHRONISATION CONNECTIONS
•Pin 48 is the vertical synchronisation input from the deflection stage. This input is used to ensure that the OSD is
displayed in a stable vertical position. When the TV is in the standby state, this input is normally low. The vertical input is
triggered on the rising edge (positive polarity).
•Pin 9 is the horizontal synchronisation input from the deflection stage. This input ensures that the OSD is displayed in
stable horizontal position. When the TV is in the standby state, this input is normally low. This input is rising edge
triggered (positive polarity).
GENERAL INPUT CONNECTIONS
HEADPHONE INPUT
•Pin 19 is used to detect if the headphone has been inserted into its socket. This input is normally HIGH (+5V) unless the
headphone has been inserted, in which case it is near 0V. When the headphone is inserted, the headphone mode option
is then available in the "Sound Mode" Menu and the loudspeakers (and internal sub-woofer if available) in the television
are muted.
PROTECTION INPUT
•Pin 26 is used to determine if a protection fault has occurred on the chassis. This line is connected to the comparator
outputs 1, 13 and 14 of I903 in the power supply. This line is normally high (approx. +5V) unless a fault has occurred, in
which case it is near ground potential (0V).
• Comparator output 1 monitors the +16V audio supply rail for over-current. If this rail is shorted, or draws too much current,
then the comparator output (pin 1 of I903) will change state to 0V.
• Comparator output 13 monitors the EHT voltage generated by the FBT in the deflection circuit. If this voltage is too high,
then this output will be low to indicate that there is a problem with the deflection.
• Comparator output 14 is connected to the secondary side of the deflection’s line input transformer. It is primarily used to
indicate whether too much current is being drawn from the line-input transformer and FBT.
POWER-GOOD INPUT
•Pin 27 is used to indicate if the power has been removed from the TV or whether a static discharge has occurred. This
input is interrupt driven to react instantaneously to a falling edge (+5V -> 0V). Under this circumstance, the audio power
amplifiers are muted and the television begins to power-down into standby. This input is derived from the comparator
output (pin 2 of I903) in the power supply. This comparator provides an "early warning" indication that the primary supply
has been removed or a static discharge event has occurred. Under a static-discharge condition, the TV will enter the
standby condition temporarily before powering back up a few seconds later.
DTT FAN FAIL INPUT
•Pin 32 is used only on a D8 chassis fitted with a DTT module. It is used to indicate if a fault with the fan on the DTT unit
has occurred (e.g. fan stuck). This input is normally HIGH (approx. +5V) unless a fault condition has been detected (0V).
FRONT PANEL BUTTONS AND SAV3 SOCKET INPUTS
• Pins 36 and 38 are 2 of the 4 ADC inputs of the microcontroller.
• Pin 36 is connected to the Volume +/- buttons and the SAV3 (Hi-8) socket on the front panel of the TV. When the voltage
on this pin is changed to a value in a certain window, the microcontroller will interpret it as either a volume +, volume -,
volume +/- command and/or an SVHS Hi-8 connector was inserted into the Hi-8 socket.
•Pin 38 is connected to the Programme +/- and Menu buttons on the front panel of the TV. When the voltage on this pin is
changed to a value in a certain window, the microcontroller will interpret it as either a programme change or the menu
button was pressed.
20
GENERAL OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
74HC595 SHIFT REGISTER OUTPUTS
STORAGE-REGISTER CLOCK OUTPUT (RCLK)
•Pin 20 of the microcontroller is connected to the rising edge (positive triggered) input (pin 12) of I006. This line is normally
low when not communicating with the device or when shifting data into it. Once the full 8-bits have been shifted in, the
RCLK line rises in order to latch the data to the device’s outputs.
SHIFT-REGISTER CLOCK OUTPUT (SCLK)
• Pin 17 of the microcontroller (MMU4) is used to transfer the data into to the 8-stage shift-register on the rising edge of the
SHIFT-REGISTER DATA OUTPUT (SI)
EEPROM WRITE ENABLE OUTPUT
ON/OFF OUTPUT
ON/OFF 2 OUTPUT
SCLK. 8 clock pulses are needed to transfer 8 bits of data into the shift register.
•Pin 21 of the microcontroller is used as the data line input to pin 14 of the shift register. When this line is HIGH, and the
SCLK changes from low to high, the first bit of data (logical 1) is shifted into the register. When this input is low, the first bit
of data is ‘0’, on the rising edge of the SCLK.
•Pin 22 is the E2 write enable output line, which is connected to pin 7 of the EEPROM (E2). When this output is HIGH
(approx. +5V), the E2 cannot be written to (write disable) but data from the device can be read. When this output is low
(0V), then data can be written to the E2. This hardware line helps to protect the E2 from inadvertent write operations,
which could occur under abnormal circumstances.
•Pin 28 is the On/Off line which turns On (LOW) /Off (HIGH) the secondary supplies (+B, +16V audio rail, +8V and +5V).
The standby +5V and+10V rails are unaffected when this output is HIGH (TV in the standby state). Under normal
operating conditions, this output will be low when the TV is NOT in the standby condition.
• Pin 29 is the On/Off 2 line which turns On (LOW) / Off (HIGH) the DTT/ASW sub-power supply.
DTT RESET OUTPUT
•Pin 31 is the DTT reset line which is asserted HIGH (+5V) on power-up and shutdown of the DTT module. Under normal
operating conditions when the TV is powered up, this line is low.
I2C DISABLE OUTPUT
•Pin 33 is the I2C disable output which prevents the main chassis I2C bus from being connected to the I2C bus of the
microcontroller (I001) and E2 (I002). This line is normally HIGH when the TV is in the standby state. This output is
inverted using the 74HC04 hex inverter IC (I004) and in connected to pins 5 and 6 of I007. In the standby condition, pins 5
and 6 of I007 (74HC4066) are low and the M.SDA and M.SCL (microcontroller) lines are disconnected from the SDA and
SCL (main chassis) I2C lines. When writing to the E2, the I2C disable output is also pulled high, to ensure that successful
writing of the data has occurred (e.g. to log fault diagnostics when the TV fails to power-up and the main chassis I2C bus
is low).
SCART DISABLE OUTPUT
•Pin 39 is used to disable the RS232 transmit and receive lines from pins 10 (Rx) and 12(Tx) of scart socket 2. This is
necessary when the TV is functioning normally. However, when the TV is in service or diagnose modes, then this output
will be low to enable connection of the RS232 lines of the microcontroller to the scart socket.
MUTE OUTPUT
•Pin 40 is the mute output for the on-board audio amplifiers. This output is HIGH when the amplifiers are in the mute
condition (e.g. Standby). If the user has chosen to use the internal speakers, then under normal operating conditions, this
output will be LOW. When powering down, this output will quickly rise to mute the speakers, to prevent any unwanted
‘popping’ noises from being heard.
GREEN LED OUTPUT
•Pin 41 is the green LED output, which is only used on the D8 chassis fitted with a DTT module. This output is high when
the green led is ON. When the DTT module is in the partial standby state or when recording a digital terrestrial
programme, then this LED will be ON and will be mixed with the red LED to produce an amber colour. When the DTT
module is connected via the telephone line and receives mail, then this LED will flash periodically to indicate this
condition.
• When the TV first has power applied to it, then the green LED will be ON. Soon after, though, this LED should extinguish
to indicate that the TV is operating correctly. NOTE: This is one of the easiest ways to check that the microcontroller is
running the programme code correctly in the EPROM/MTP. If the green led remains ON, then the microcontroller or
EPROM/MTP has a fault preventing the code from being executed correctly.
21
RED LED OUTPUT
•Pin 42 is the red LED output, which is used to indicate the standby state and when an IR command has been successfully
received and decoded. When the TV is in the standby state, this output will be HIGH to ensure that the red LED is brightly
lit. When the TV is not in standby, then this output will be low, but the red LED will remain dimly lit through resistor R081.
When an IR command has been successfully received, then the LED will flash briefly, to inform the user that the button on
the handset was pressed correctly.
I2C CONNECTIONS
•Pin 23 is the I2C bus data input/output for transferring data between other I2C peripherals/devices. This line is only
connected to the EEPROM (I005) when in the standby state or when writing to the EEPROM. This line is constantly active
when the TV is powered up and normally changes state between (+5V and 0V).
•Pin 24 is the I2C bus clock output for clocking the data to other I2C peripherals/devices. The clock line is also
disconnected from the main chassis when in the standby state or when writing to the EEPROM. This line oscillates at a
frequency around 90KHz
RS232 CONNECTIONS
•Pin 30 is the RS232 Transmit line from the microcontroller. It can be routed to pin 12 of the scart socket and to pin 3 of
connector P001 for the DTT module (only on D8 chassis). This line is time shared between communicating with the DTT
unit and the scart socket (for diagnostics). When the DTT disable line is LOW, the TXD line is routed from pin 1 to pin 2 of
I008 (74HC4066). When the Scart disable output from the microcontroller (pin 39) is low, then the TXD can be routed from
pin 1 to pin 2 of I007 (74HC4066). There is never a situation whereby both disable outputs are low (enabling both DTT
and SCART RS232 communications).
•Pin 37 is the RS232 Receive line for the microcontroller. It can be routed from Scart 2 RXD (pin 10) and from pin 4 of
connector P001 for the DTT unit (only on D8 chassis). When the DTT disable line is low, the DTT can transmit to pin 10 of
I008 and is then routed through to Pin 37 of the microcontroller. When the Scart disable line is low, then the data can be
routed from pin 10 of scart 2 to pin 10 of I007 and then through to pin 37 of the microcontroller. There is never a situation
when both RS232 enable lines are HIGH (disable outputs LOW).
RGB CONNECTIONS
•Pin 44 is the OSD/Teletext RGB blanking signal necessary for allowing insertion of the OSD/Teletext onto the picture.
When this output is high (approx. +5v), then the RGB signal will be superimposed onto the current picture.
• Pin 45 is the OSD blue signal necessary for displaying BLUE colours for the OSD and Teletext.
• Pin 46 is the OSD green signal necessary for displaying GREEN colours for the OSD and Teletext.
• Pin 47 is the OSD red signal necessary for displaying RED colours for the OSD and Teletext.
CVBS CONNECTIONS
•Pin 60 is the Composite Video signal input for VPS and WSS slicing. It is normally AC coupled and internally clamped to
ensure reliable operation. VPS (video programming system) is necessary when auto-sorting programmes in
Germany/Austria/Switzerland. WSS (wide-screen signalling) is used to indicate the aspect ratio of the incoming signal.
The TV can then use this information to display the picture in the correct format.
•Pin 61 is the Composite Video signal input for Teletext acquisition and decoding and also for sync extraction, necessary
for obtaining the correct line timings for slicing the teletext information and VPS/WSS information.
EPROM/MTP (I002)
INTRODUCTION
The device located in position I002 is used to store the program code needed by the microcontroller to operate the television
correctly. This 32 pin device is an MTP (multi-time programmable memory) which allows for it to be re-programmed out of the
chassis without having to erase it using conventional UV EPROM erasers. The device currently used on the A8/D8 chassis is the
MX26C1000APC, which can hold 128Kbytes of information (1Mbit). This device also holds any initialisation data to be downloaded
to an EEPROM. When a blank EEPROM is fitted, the initialisation data is automatically downloaded to it when power is applied to
the chassis.
DISCUSSION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 32 and 16 are the +5V supply and ground connections respectively. The supply voltage of +5V is always present
even when the TV is in the standby state.
ADDRESS CONNECTIONS
•Pins 2 to 12, 23 and 25 to 29 are the 17 address lines needed to access the full 128Kbytes of 8-bit data inside the device.
These lines are connected directly with the microcontroller so that it can request data from the MTP when operating. An
oscilloscope can be used to check pin 12 of the MTP to check whether the microcontroller is running correctly and
accessing the MTP. This pin should be oscillating at a frequency of around 2MHz and is a non-periodic square waveform.
DATA CONNECTIONS
•Pins 13 to 15 and 17 to 21 are the 8 data lines needed to transmit a byte at a time to the microcontroller. These outputs
are normally tri-state and are high-impedance when the output enable pin 24 of the MTP is HIGH. When the output enable
pin is low, the data from the required address will be output on these pins.
22
OUTPUT ENABLE CONNECTION
•Pin 24 is the output enable active low input used to control the logical state of the data lines. When this pin is HIGH, the
data lines are in the high impedance condition and no data is present on these pins. When the output enable input it LOW,
the data lines are active and output the addressed data, This line is connected to the data strobe output of the
microcontroller to ensure correct operation/timings.
CHIP ENABLE CONNECTION
•Pin 22 is the chip enable active low input used to select the device. Normally, this input is low to enable the device.
However, the device can be placed in a standby state when accessing a future SRAM in position I003. The MMU3 line
from the microcontroller is used to select either the SRAM or the MTP. When no SRAM is fitted, the chip enable pin is
always low.
MISCELLANEOUS
•Pin 1 (VPP) is the programming voltage input pin (+12.75V needed) used to re-program the device when placed in a
special programmer. This pin is always tied to the +5V standby supply, to ensure that the device can never be reprogrammed inside the television chassis.
•Pin 30 is not used in this device. However, it is still connected to the MMU1 line from the microcontroller for use with
larger size MTP’s/EPROM’s. This line can be used to access a further 128Kbytes if such a device was fitted.
•Pin 31 is the active-low programming enable pin that is used to re-program and erase the device. This pin is always
connected to the +5V standby supply to ensure that no inadvertent writes/erases are performed on the device.
SRAM (I003)
INTRODUCTION
On future chassis, the position I003 will be used to hold an SRAM for teletext page storage and memory storage. A 128Kbyte device
will most likely be situated here to allow 100 teletext pages to be acquired and stored for immediate fast access to them. The SRAM
is connected to the microcontroller’s address and data lines, which are shared with the EPROM/MTP in position I002.
DESCRIPTION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 32 and 16 are the +5V supply and ground connections respectively. This device always has +5V connected to it,
even when the TV is in the standby state.
ADDRESS LINE CONNECTIONS
• Pins 2 to 12, 23, 31 and 25 to 28 are the address lines needed to access the 128Kbyte of data by the microcontroller.
DATA LINE CONNECTIONS
•Pins 13 to 15 and 17 to 21 are the 8-bit data lines needed to receive/transmit a byte of data at a time to/from the
microcontroller.
CHIP ENABLE CONNECTIONS
•Pins 22 and 30 are 2 chip enable inputs that need to be LOW and HIGH respectively for the 128Kbyte device to operate.
If either pin 22 is HIGH or pin 30 is LOW, then the device enters a standby state whereby its power consumption is
dramatically reduced (10uW). The MMU3 output pin from the microcontroller (pin 2) is used to select the SRAM when it is
HIGH. If this pin is low, then the MTP/EPROM in position I002 is selected instead.
WRITE ENABLE CONNECTIONS
•Pin 29 is the active-low write enable input used to enable data to be stored inside the device. This pin is connected to the
read/write line of the microcontroller for synchronisation purposes.
74HC04 HEX INVERTER (I004)
INTRODUCTION
The 14-pin IC in position I004 is a high speed CMOS hex inverter used to invert digital signals. The package consists of 6 inverters,
but only 4 are used in this application.
DESCRIPTION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 14 and 7 are the +5V and 0V supply connections respectively. This device always has +5V supplied to it, even when
the TV is in the standby state. Capacitor C023 is connected across the supply terminal for de-coupling.
CHIP ENABLE CONNECTION
•Pin 1 is connected to the MMU3 output from the microcontroller and is used to select either the MTP or the SRAM. This
signal is inverted and output from pin 2 that is then connected to the active low chip enable input (pin 22) of the SRAM. In
this way, only one chip enable line from the microcontroller needs to be used to enable the SRAM.
23
DTT DISABLE CONNECTION
•
• Pin 3 is the DTT disable input from pin 7 of I006. This input is inverted and is outputted at pin 4, before being connected
to pins 12 & 13 of the analogue switch (I008).
I2C DISABLE CONNECTION
•Pin 5 is the I2C disable input from pin 33 of the microcontroller. This signal is inverted and output at pin 6 to pins 5 & 6 of
the analogue switch (I007). When the microcontroller is in the reset condition, or when the TV is in the standby state, the
I2C disable line is HIGH. This signal must be inverted to disable the microcontroller’s I2C bus from the I2C bus of the rest
of the chassis.
SCART DISABLE CONNECTION
•Pin 13 is the RS232 Scart Disable input from pin 39 of the microcontroller. This input is inverted and output at pin 12,
which is then connected to pins 12 & 13 of the analogue switch (I007). When the microcontroller is in the reset state, or
when the TV is NOT in service/diagnose modes, the RS232 transmit/receive lines MUST be disconnected from pins 10
and 12 of scart socket 2. This line must then be inverted to prevent any connection being made.
EEPROM (I005)
INTRODUCTION
The ST24C16 EEPROM, or E2 as it is commonly known, is a 16Kbit (2Kbyte) device that holds non-volatile data when power is
removed from the TV. This device can hold information for 100 programmes, such as the name, frequency, standard, AV setting,
speaker language setting and teletext favourite pages. The EEPROM also holds diagnostic fault codes used to help identify
previous faults with the chassis (see separate section that deals explicitly with this). The E2 also holds factory aligned parameters,
such as the geometry, white balance, tuner AFC/AGC, model type, cathode level, etc. The E2 also holds the user’s preferential
settings, such as the volume, balance, contrast, brightness, etc. Data is written to/ read from the device using the standard Philips
I2C protocols.
DESCRIPTION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 8 and 4 are the +5V supply and ground (0V) connections respectively. The EEPROM is powered from the +5V
standby rail so that it always has power to it, even when the TV is in standby.
I2C CONNECTIONS
•Pin 5 is the I2C Data line needed to transfer serial data between the microcontroller and itself. Data is changed when the
clock line is low and latched on the rising edge of the I2C clock.
•Pin 6 is the I2C clock line needed to synchronise the I2C data transfer. 9 clock pulses are needed for the 8-bit data and
an acknowledge bit. The I2C master clock originates from the microcontroller and operates at a frequency around
100KHz.
ADDRESS CONNECTIONS
•Pins 1 to 3 are the address lines used to select the I2C slave address of the device. On the ST24C16 device, these lines
must be connected to ground in order to access the device properly.
WRITE DISABLE CONNECTION
•Pin 7 is the I2C write enable/disable input. When this input is HIGH (+5V), all I2C writes to the device are denied. When
the pin is pulled low by the microcontroller (pin 22 E2RD), data can be written to the device. In this manner, inadvertent
write operations can prevent the I2C data from being corrupted.
74HC595 SHIFT REGISTER (I006)
INTRODUCTION
The 74HC595 is a 16-pin high-speed CMOS 8-bit shift register used for additional output port capability on the A8/D8 chassis. 8-bit
data is serially shifted into the device and then latched to the outputs when so desired. These outputs are not used when the TV is
in the standby state.
DESCRIPTION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 16 and 8 are the +5V supply and 0V ground connections respectively. This device has +5V supplied to it, even when
the TV is in the standby state. Capacitor C024 is used to de-couple the supply.
VM ON/OFF OUTPUT CONNECTION
•Pin 1 is used to turn On (LOW) or Off (HIGH) the VM (velocity modulation) circuit of some high-end chassis. This
improves the transition from black to white (and vice versa) areas of the picture to sharpen them up. This is particularly
noticeable at the outer areas of the CRT. This output pin is connected to the +5V signal supply and so is left floating when
the TV is in the standby state. The diode, D008, prevents any leakage current from flowing from pin 1 to the VM circuitry
when the TV is in the standby state.
24
MUTE 2 OUTPUT CONNECTION
•Pin 2 is used to switch the ASW amplifier into standby (LOW) or operating mode (HIGH). This pin is also used to step
down the +16V supply at the rear of the TV to mute an optional console/speaker system connected to the +16V phono
COMPRESS OUTPUT CONNECTION
EXTERNAL BLANKING OUTPUT CONNECTION
MSP RESET OUTPUT CONNECTION
MUTE3 OUTPUT CONNECTION
DTT DISABLE OUTPUT CONNECTION
SHIFT REGISTER CLEAR INPUT (SCLR)
connector, when power is removed from the TV.
•Pin 3 is the compress relay enable (HIGH) or disable (LOW) control. This output is high when a wide-screen TV is in 4:3
aspect ratio, and is low in all other modes. In 4:3 mode, black side panels are observed either side the central picture.
•Pin 4 is the external RGB blanking output, needed to switch the external blanking input (pin 39) of the HIP (TDA9320) into
full-screen blanking mode. This mode is activated when the user selects "RGB" from the possible AV modes. In this
instance, the line is HIGH causing the RGB signals on pins 36 to 38 of I200 to have precedence over the picture.
•Pin 5 is the MSP3410D reset line that is low when the MSP is being reset. This line is normally HIGH (+5V) when the TV
is operating correctly. When the TV is in the standby state, this line is low, as there is no +5V signal supply to pull the line
up through resistor R044.
•Pin 6 is the Mute3 output needed to mute the ASW amplifier. When this line is HIGH, the internal sub-woofer (optional on
some models) is muted. This occurs if the user has disabled the internal speakers from the speaker configuration menu,
headphones are inserted into the TV, or when the TV is powered off.
•Pin 7 is the DTT disable output necessary for disconnecting the DTT’s RS232 transmit/receive communication lines from
the microcontroller’s RS232 ports. This output goes to pin 3 of the hex inverter (I004) which is then inverted and fed to
pins 12 & 13 of analogue switch I008. The analogue switch disconnects the RXD and TXD (receive and transmit) lines of
the microcontroller from the DTT’s when pins 12 & 13 of it are LOW.
• Pin 10 is an active low input necessary for clearing the shift register’s data on power-up.
SHIFT REGISTER CLOCK INPUT (SCK)
•Pin 11 is the shift register clock input necessary for clocking the data into the device. Each bit of data is latched into the
device, on the rising edge of the clock. This clock originates from pin 17 of the microcontroller.
REGISTER CLOCK INPUT (RCK)
•Pin 12 is the register clock input necessary for latching the data to the output pins. On the rising edge of this pin, all 8
latched bits are transferred to the output pins.
OUTPUT ENABLE INPUT (G)
•Pin 13 is an active low input necessary for enabling the output ports. This pin is always connected to ground to enable the
outputs.
SHIFT DATA INPUT
•Pin 14 is the shift data input necessary for transferring the 8 data bits into the device. When this line is HIGH, a logical ‘1’
is latched into the device on the rising edge of SCK. When this line is low during the rising edge of SCK, a logical ‘0’ is
stored instead.
74HC4066 ANALOGUE SWITCH (I007)
INTRODUCTION
The 74HC4066 is a 14-pin high speed CMOS quad bilateral switch. It is used primarily for connecting/disconnecting signals when
out of/in the standby state.
DESCRIPTION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 14 and 7 are the +5V supply and 0V ground connections respectively. This device is always powered up, even when
then television is in the standby state. Capacitor C025 ensures that the supplies are properly de-coupled.
TXD CONNECTIONS
•Pin 1 is the RS232 Transmit line from the microcontroller (pin 30) which is routed through to pin 2 of I007 when pin 13 is
HIGH. Under normal operating conditions (and when the TV is NOT in service or diagnose modes), pin 1 is disconnected
from pin 2 (and pin 10 of scart2). When the TV is in service mode, a PC can be connected to scart 2 to perform diagnostic
functions on the chassis (see separate section on diagnostic protocols for more information).
25
RXD CONNECTIONS
•Pin 11 is the RS232 receive line from the microcontroller (pin 37) which is routed through to pin 10 when pin 12 is HIGH.
Under normal operating conditions (and when the TV is NOT in service or diagnose modes), pin 10 is disconnected from
pin 12 (and pin 12 of scart2). When the TV is in service mode, a PC can be connected to scart 2 to perform diagnostic
functions on the chassis (see separate section on diagnostic protocols for more information).
I2C CONNECTIONS
I2C CLOCK CONNECTION
•Pin 8 is the I2C master clock input from the microcontroller (pin 24). When pin 6 of I007 is HIGH, this line is connected to
pin 9, which enables the microcontroller to communicate with other I2C devices on the chassis. Pin 6 is normally LOW
when the TV is in the standby state, or when power is first applied to the chassis.
I2C DATA CONNECTION
•Pin 4 is the I2C data input from the microcontroller (pin 23). When pin 5 of I007 is HIGH, this line is connected to pin 3,
which enables the microcontroller to communicate with other I2C devices on the chassis. Pin 5 is normally LOW when the
TV is in the standby state, or when power is first applied to the chassis.
74HC4066 (I008) D8 CHASSIS ONLY
INTRODUCTION
The 74HC4066 is a 14-pin high speed CMOS quad bilateral switch. It is used primarily for connecting/disconnecting signals when
out of/in the standby state.
DESCRIPTION
SUPPLY/GROUND CONNECTIONS
•Pins 14 and 7 are the +5V supply and 0V ground connections respectively. This device is always powered up, even when
then television is in the standby state. Capacitor C026 ensures that the supplies are properly de-coupled.
TXD CONNECTIONS
•Pin 1 is the RS232 Transmit line from the microcontroller (pin 30) which is routed through to pin 2 (DTT Tx) of I007 when
pin 13 is HIGH. Pin 2 is connected with pin 3 of P001, which is in turn connected to the DTT module. When
communicating with the DTT module, pin 13 of I008 is HIGH. However, when communicating with the RS232 on scart 2,
this line must be LOW to prevent simultaneous communications.
RXD CONNECTIONS
•Pin 11 is the RS232 receive line from the microcontroller (pin 37) which is routed through to pin 10 (DTT Rx) when pin 12
is HIGH. Pin 10 is connected with pin 4 of P001, which is in turn connected to the DTT module. When communicating with
the DTT module, pin 12 of I008 is HIGH. However, when communicating with the RS232 on scart 2, this line must be
LOW to prevent simultaneous communications.
DTT RESET CONNECTION
•Pin 4 is the DTT reset connection that is routed through to pin 3 when pin 5 is HIGH. Pin 3 is then connected to pin 1 of
P001, which in turn is connected to the DTT module. The DTT reset line is normally HIGH when powering up/down the
DTT module, and is low otherwise.
POWERED CONSOLE
The powered console is used make the A7 and A8/D8 models into full Dolby pro logic sets by amplifying the centre and surround
channels with the addition of a sub woofer.
The amplifiers used for this are three TDA7482 which are mono class D. In this application the Bass output (IC2) is rated at 20W,
and the Centre (IC3) and Surround (IC1) channels are rated at 12W the output being restricted by the supply voltage.
These devices usually require two supplies one positive and one negative but in this case a dummy ground is created for each
amplifier by using a resistive / capacitative divider network. The Bass is supplied from 38V and divided by R11 / R12 and C11+ C16
/ C17 + C18. The Centre and Surround are supplied from 32V which are divided by R56 / R57 and C72 + C77 / C78 + C79 (Centre)
and R50 / R51 and C57 + C64 / C65 + C66(Surround).
The brief principle behind the class D is that the signal is divided in to segments at a rate set by the internal oscillator (the frequency
is set by the R / C components attached to pin 6 in this case approximately 110kHz). This is then amplified and output from pin 1 as
a pulse width modulated square wave form with an amplitude almost equal to the supply voltage. The inductor / capacitor network of
which the speaker is part then filters out most of the fundamental frequency leaving the amplified audio signal.
The class D type amplifiers were chosen because of there high efficiency (low heat losses within the device).
The centre and surround inputs are fed straight forward from the phono sockets to pin 9 of the amplifiers via 470nF capacitors. The
bass uses the left and right outputs from the TV, these signals are passed through an active filter with amplifier(IC9), the output of
which is fed to IC2 pin 9 via R68 and C2.
The only control on the IC is pin 10 which has three level ranges :-
As the Bass, centre and surround amplifiers stages are identical, only the bass will be described. On the powered console a fast
falling 5V rail is used to stop pops and squeals when the TV set is turned off or put into standby (removing the 5V), this is applied to
1. 0 to 0.7 V above pin 7 voltage standby (no output at all from pin 1).
2. 1.7 to 2.5V above pin 7 voltage mute (only the 110kHz output can be seen at pin 1).
3. 4 to 5V above pin 7 voltage play range.
26
the base of Q2 via R1, the collector of Q2 holds the base of Q3 low via R3. This allows the collector of Q3 and pin 10 of IC2 to rise
through the pull up network consisting of R10, regulated to 5V6 by ZD2, R9 and R8, C7 is just to add a time constant.
A dual operational amplifier (IC6) is used with both comparator outputs (pins 1 & 7) joined together to mute the amplifiers by holding
the 5V rail low.
At power up pin 1 of IC6 holds the 5V rail low through D42 until the main supply rails settle. A reference voltage generated from the
38V rail by a potential divider consisting of R24 and R30 is applied to pin 2 of IC6, this is then compared to the voltage applied to pin
3 from the potential divider R104 and R100 with C107 adding the time constant.
The other half of the comparator is used at power down. Pin 6 has a reference level derived from the 38V supply from the potential
divider R24 and R102. Pin 5 is connected to the relay switching voltage supplied by the TV. When the TV is put into standby or
turned off the 16V drops to approximately 14V immediately causing pin 7 to be pulled low muting the amplifiers
At power down the 5V is pulled low turning off Q2, which allows the base of Q3 to rise via the pull up resistor R81 from the main
supply for IC2, this in turn pulls the collector low, discharging C7 and removing the voltage from pin 10 via R105 and D30A which
are used to speed up the turn off time of the amplifier. The pull up to the supply is used to make sure that the amplifier stays in mute
/ standby while the supply rail discharges.
DIGITAL SECTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The main function of the digital section of the receiver is to accept COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) coded
signals modulated onto a RF carrier in the UHF band, and by demultiplexing, decoding and formatting the information carried, to
produce analogue outputs at audio and video suitable for presentation through a ‘TV’ display.
It may be integrated into a television receiver (IDTV) or a set-top box (STB) with a suitable analogue ‘motherboard’.
The graphics, menus and control functions for the digital receiver are also carried out within the digital module.
The digital section of the receiver is made up of two main PCBs and another associated PCB:
• COFDM front-end PCB
• MPEG Decoder and AV/Graphics PCB
• Smartcard Interface PCB
All the interconnections between these PCBs are internal to the metal screening enclosure and using flat PCB ribbon connectors.
The connections from the digital PCBs to the analogue circuits also use the same type of flat PCB ribbon connectors, except for the
main power connector. The details are given in section 2.6.
The connections accessible to the user from the digital section are:
• Tuner RF input connector
• Tuner RF loop-through output connector
• RS232 9 pin ‘D type’ connector
• RJ11 modem connector
• Common Interface sockets
A fan is attached to circulate air through the enclosure for the digital module on the integrated TV.

COFDM FRONT-END PCB
This PCB carries:
• Power supply filtering
• Tuner
• COFDM decoder and FEC circuitry
• RS232 serial communications port
• V22 bis Modem
POWER SUPPLY FILTERING
This filter field is intended to filter incoming noise from the lines and to prevent noise and EMC components being carried out from
the module to the analogue section.
The power for the whole digital module is connected through this PCB, using a network of ferrite beads, chokes and capacitors. The
input power is through PL801 and PL802, and the filtered output lines are carried to the MPEG PCB on PL803, along with some
control signals from the MPEG PCB. The input and filtered/output power lines are:
‘*’ Indicates further filtering and distribution on the MPEG PCB.
‘+’ Indicates optional linking (R783 / R784) for Common Interface power supply, see text.
SectionUsed on (PCB) Unique Filter components
TUNER
The tuner includes:
• UHF loop-through
• First down-converter
• Local oscillator and control PLL
• IF filter and second converter stage
• AGC control
• ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter)
• VCXO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator)
The incoming RF signal is looped back out for linking to a conventional a VCR, set-top box or the analogue TV tuner input. The
loop-through is active and has a separate 5V supply pin which is powered in both normal ‘ON’ and standby modes.
The remaining tuner sections use 5V and 9V power rails, with suitable local decoupling.
The first converter stage converts the incoming signals down so that the selected UHF channel is frequency shifted so that it is
centred within the 8MHz IF band centred around 36MHz..
The local oscillator is controlled by the PLL circuitry internal to the tuner, and the frequency selection made using the I2C bus. This
I2C bus is only gated through to the tuner for commands, which are directly addressed to it. The gating is done by IC820 and the
control signal is generated through the main COFDM IC (IC801)using a port pin. The operation of this pin is controlled through I2C
to the COFDM IC. The local pull-ups for the tuner I2C are R786, R787 and the series protection resistors are internal to the tuner.
The 36 MHz IF signal is filtered to remove the out of band frequency components, frequency shifted again down to 4.572MHz and
sampled at 4 times this frequency in the ADC.
The resolution of the ADC internal to the tuner is 8 bit, and the output from the tuner is a 8 bit wide sampled COFDM signal and the
18.288MHz sampling clock, this clock has been internally filtered to remove some of the faster edges to reduce EMC. Resistors
R884 – R889, R860 and R869, R799 are used to link the parallel data signal inputs to the COFDM IC only if the ADC in the tuner is
used. This is the normal current build but they should be omitted if an ADC external to the tuner unit is used.
The COFDM decoder IC, using the AFC feedback signal to the tuner module, controls the frequency and phase of the 18.288MHz
clock.
The gain of the IF stage is controlled by the signal from the COFDM IC, with the tuner being responsible for the crossover point and
generating the RF AGC signal which is externally linked to the RF stages.
