In addition to aesthetics, the covers on the Model 330, 340SC and 370SC
projectors serve several functions. The covers are an integral part of the cooling
system of the projector. Air intake filters are contained in the covers as are cooling
fans. The covers provide the operator and audience with protection from the
extremely bright light produced in the projector. The covers also serve to reduce
the noise generated by operation of the projector. The UL approval is only valid
with the covers installed since they provide the primary protection to prevent
personnel from coming into contact with the high voltages and currents contained
within the projector.
2–2Model 330, 340SC, and 370SC Service Manual
The HJT Model 330, 340SC and 370SC
WARNING!!!
projectors use high voltages and high currents. Operation with
covers removed exposes personnel to these dangerous conditions
and may result in serious injury or death. No user-serviceable parts
are contained within the projector. Refer all maintenance to only
factory authorized and trained technicians.
The projector cover is a two-piece molded assembly. It is fastened to the projector
frame by six (6) screws: two (2) on the rear cover; and four (4) on the front cover.
The fan intake side of the cover (right side) has filters on the intake vents.
Periodic cleaning of the filters is required and should be performed in accordance
with the procedure in this manual (Section 4.3). To avoid overheating the
projector, ensure that the cover vent ports are free of obstructions at all times and
that an adequate supply of fresh air is provided to the projector during operation.
2.2 External Power Requirements
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
The projectors require 208V to 240V, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, single-phase AC power.
The units are equipped with an attached AC power cord and 3-prong twist lock
plug (Model 330 and 340SC use Hubble Model 2323; Model 370SC uses Hubble
Model 2623 or equivalent).
CAUTION!
Operation at voltages and frequencies outside of these
listed parameters may cause damage to the projector and will void the warranty.
2.3 Electronics Systems Overview
The objective of this portion is to provide a good general understanding of the
projector electronics. The understanding gained will enable service personnel to
more effectively maintain the projector to produce the desired result—a greatpicture on the screen —and quality you can see.
The Electronics Systems portion of this manual is based on block diagrams. The
diagrams used have been drawn with two purposes in mind. First, they are general
enough to be able to gain an understanding of the overall function of the various
components of the system. Second, the block diagrams contain enough detail to
make them valuable as a troubleshooting tool should the need arise. Schematics
are not used but, where necessary, simplified circuitry is shown to aid in
understanding the capabilities and/or limitations of the system. Discussion of
troubleshooting is included but is largely confined to symptoms and identification
of failed assemblies.
The Hughes-JVC Model 330, 340SC and 370SC projectors are multi-sync
projectors capable of data, graphics, and display from 15KHz to 90KHz

Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
horizontal and 45Hz to 120Hz vertical. The projected image is continuously
variable from 6 ft to 60 ft over throw distances (varies by projector model) from
10 ft to over 360 ft. All HJT Series 300 projectors are capable of keystone,
pincushion, and linearity correction. The projectors feature digital control of
functions, including convergence, picture adjustments, switching and diagnostics.
In addition, the projector provides the ability to control the relative brightness
anywhere on the screen.
The capabilities of the Model 330, 340SC and 370SC projectors are provided by a
sophisticated electronics system, which consists of power supplies, input/output
devices, and various circuit boards, and using both analog and digital components
to provide functionality with a simple user interface. The electronics systems are
assembled in modular fashion for ease of removal or maintenance.
The Model 330, 340SC and 370SC Electronics System consists of:
System Controller Board;
Video Processor Board;
Video Amplifier Boards (3);
Raster Timing Generator Board;
Horizontal Deflection Board;
Vertical Deflection Board;
Lamp Ignitor;
System Power Supply;
High Voltage Power Supply.
There are also image and sync signal inputs, an LED display, two (2) RS-232
communication ports, and two (2) IR receivers for projector control.
The digital and analog circuits of the System Controller Board direct the operation
of image and raster generation circuits as well as controlling the input/output and
power supply operation of the HJT Model 330, 340SC and 370SC projector
electronics systems.
The System Controller sets operating parameters of the system such as brightness
and contrast, produces internal test patterns and generates on-screen overlays, and
sets the timing for the raster generation to adjust phase, geometric corrections,
uniformity corrections and convergence. The System Controller houses the
program memory as well as the memory for all convergence and uniformity maps,
and has the responsibility of controlling communication with the user, power to
the other areas of the projector, and other necessary functions.
The Video Processor and Video Amplifiers select the desired input signal and
process it to produce the CRT beam modulation necessary to produce an image on
the raster.
2–4Model 330, 340SC, and 370SC Service Manual
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
The Raster Timing Generator provides timing signals to the System Controller
Board, selects the appropriate incoming sync signal and produces the timing
signals for controlling the geometry of the raster.
The Vertical and Horizontal Deflection Boards produce their respective sweep
currents to drive the deflection yokes. The Vertical Deflection Board also houses
the convergence amplifiers that drive correction coils.
The System Power Supply provides all DC power below 200V to the projector.
This includes the supply to the arc lamp/ignitor and the supply to the High
Voltage Power Supply.
The High Voltage Power Supply provides all voltages of 200V and higher. This
includes all CRT bias voltages except the cathode.
Image and sync inputs arrive in the projector at the Video Processor Board.
Inclusion of the Decoder Board is optional. User communication is accomplished
by on-screen displays, LED display output, IR remote input, or RS232
Input/Output. All of these devices are separate from, but communicate directly
with the System Controller Board.
The detailed functional description of the subassemblies are covered below in the
following order:
1. System Power.
2. Card Cage and Circuit Boards.
3. CRT Assembly.
4. Arc Lamp.
2.4 System Power
System Power Supply
The System Power Supply provides the connection between the external power
source and the projector. The System Power Supply provides all internal DC
power to the projector with the exception of that provided by the High Voltage
Power Supply (Section 2.4.3). This includes the low voltage power to the
electronics, the supply power to the HVPS, and the Arc Lamp power.
The System Power Supply is a AC-DC power supply with an input rectifier and
protection circuit and several separate switchers; one (1) for Arc Lamp power, one
(1) for +5V Standby power, one (1) for +24V Standby power, and others for the
other low voltages.
All of the power supply outputs are protected against overvoltage and overcurrent.
Overcurrent protection is a foldback circuit that limits the output current by
reducing the output voltage when an overcurrent condition is detected. An
overvoltage condition at the output of the supply will cause the affected voltage to
be shut down until input power is removed and reapplied.
Model 330, 340SC and 370SC Service Manual2–5
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
All of the SPS output voltages except Arc Lamp power are indicated by a LED
display (see ). The LEDs are located on a bar-type display on the backplane at the
left side of the card cage. The individual LEDs will be lit when the corresponding
voltage is energized. The LEDs are wired to the SPS output power using only a
current limiting resistor so when the LED is lit, it is an indication that there is a
voltage present, not necessarily the correct voltage. To verify whether or not the
voltage at the output is correct, a voltmeter must be used to probe the output
connectors J500, J501, or J502.

switch shuts off the System Power Supply whenever the cover is removed. During
normal operation with the cover installed, the switch is in the 'armed' position.
When the rear cover is removed, the switch will be released and cause power to
the projector to be interrupted. To run the unit without the cover installed,
override the interlock switch by pulling it up into the 'service' position. When the
cover is replaced, the switch will automatically be reset into the 'armed' position.
A circuit breaker is located on the right side of the System Power Supply. The
circuit breaker serves to remove all power from the projector (except for the
power at the input terminals) by switching it to the OFF position.
CAUTION!
The circuit breaker must be switched off, and the
projector must be disconnected from AC power prior to performance of any
maintenance, to ensure that all power is removed from the internal components of
the projector.
Normal operation of the System Power Supply is as follows:
When external power is applied, +5V Standby will always be energized as will the
internal SPS fans. +24V Standby power for operating the fans will be energized
whenever the lamp or electronics are turned-on and five (5) minutes after the
projector is shut down.
All other voltages are controlled by the power-up or power-down commands
issued by the operator.
2–6Model 330, 340SC, and 370SC Service Manual
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
The Arc Lamp power supply is a current-controlled supply with an open circuit
voltage of about 170V. When the Arc Lamp is operating at steady state, the power
supply provides the current set by the technician. The output of the supply has a
large capacitor that will, on initial ignition of the Arc Lamp, provide the very high
initial current necessary to ionize the xenon gas in the lamp and sustain the arc.
The current setpoint is initially set at the factory and must be reset by the
technician whenever an Arc Lamp is replaced.

Arc Lamp Ignitor
The ignitor consists of a step-up power supply, a spark gap, and a transformer.
The Arc Lamp Ignitor is mounted under or next to the Arc Lamp. It provides the
high voltage pulse necessary to ignite the Xenon Arc Lamp that is the illumination
supply for the HJT Model 330, 340SC and 370SC projectors.
The System Power Supply’s Arc Lamp Supply section provides the necessary
voltage to activate the ignitor and to sustain the arc in the Arc Lamp once it has
been ignited. The SPS provides the power necessary to operate the ignitor.
The Ignitor is only active during the time between the Arc Lamp Power Supply
energizing and the Arc Lamp igniting. During steady state operation and when the
projector power is off, the ignitor is inactive.
Model 330, 340SC and 370SC Service Manual2–9
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
When the Arc Lamp supply first turns on, it supplies 170V to the ignitor. The
ignitor then senses this voltage, activates it’s on-board supply, and produces a
1µS, 38KV pulse to the Arc Lamp. This pulse strikes an arc in the lamp. The Arc
Lamp supply then provides the high current necessary to sustain the arc in the
lamp. Refer to Figure 2-5 and the summary below for a description on the Arc

High Voltage Powe r Supply
The High Voltage Power Supply is a DC-DC converter (see Figures 2-6 and 2-7)
and is located on the left side of the CRT housing. It provides all necessary
voltages for the CRTs except the cathode drive, which comes from +107V from
the SPS.
Figure 2-6
Input power is +24V at 5A from the SPS. The input power is converted into the
High Voltage Power Supply
high voltage necessary to bias the CRTs.
The HVPS is controlled by an enable line (/HVEN) originating at the Video
Processor Board. This enable line is controlled by logic that turns the HVPS off
when there is a fault that could damage the CRTs. There are two (2) different
conditions that could damage the HVPS:
1. If the +5V supply to the VPB is interrupted, the control and protection is
compromised and the HVPS must be turned off.
2. If the cathode drive power is lost on one of the Video Amplifiers, the
cathode current cannot be controlled and the HVPS is turned off.
3. Further details regarding this logic can be found in the functional
description on the Video Processor Board in Section 2.6.4.

HVPS Power and Control Connector Jack, J603
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
CRT anode voltages are not user controllable. They are fixed at 32KV with a
maximum output of 2.1mA total or 0.7mA per CRT. The anode voltage is the
primary acceleration voltage for the CRT. Other bias voltages (screen grid, G2,
and control grid, G1) are used to control the level of beam current. The anode
voltage is routed out of the top of the HVPS, into the CRT housing to three (3)
bulkhead connectors. From there, the anode wires on the CRTs route the anode
voltage directly to the CRT. The anode voltages are overvoltage and overcurrent
protected in the event of short circuits or CRT arcing.
Focus voltage (called Electronic Focus) is a modulated DC voltage. The DC level
is set by the user during initial setup to focus the CRT electron beam. The
Electronic Focus controls are located on the left side of the HVPS (see appropriate
model Operator’s Manual). There are three (one for each color) ¾ turn pots for
adjusting the Electronic Focus. Of the six (6) pots found on the HVPS, the bottom
three (3) are for focus while the top three (3) are for G2 adjustment (Section 3.10).
The DC voltage is modulated within the HVPS using the HDFOCUS and
VDFOCUS input signals. VDFOCUS is the vertical dynamic focus signal, which
is a waveform with parabolic shape at the vertical sweep frequency. HDFOCUS is
the horizontal dynamic focus signal. It is a combination of the vertical dynamic
focus signal and a parabolic waveform at the horizontal sweep rate. These two (2)
signals are combined in the HVPS to form a composite dynamic focus signal.
Dynamic focus is necessary to ensure that the CRT electron beam is converged to
a point as the beam sweeps across the CRT face. Since the CRT faceplate is flat,
the raster sweep causes a varying path length for the electron beam. This means
the focus voltage must be varied as the raster is traced. Focus voltage cannot be
conveniently measured during normal operation.
G2 screen grid voltage is a DC voltage that is set by the user. The three (3)
adjustment controls, one for each color, consist of ¾ turn pots and are located on
the left side of the HVPS immediately above the focus controls. This voltage is set
during initial projector setup to adjust the black level on the screen (see
appropriate model Operator’s Manual). The G2 voltage sets the bias on the screen
grid of the CRT and is normally used to set the cutoff level. However, since the
HJT light valve requires a non-zero input to produce a just-cut-off image on the
screen, G2 is set to produce a slightly greater-than-black raster on the CRT. The
G2 is adjustable from 100V to 1400V individually by color. The actual operating
level will be near 1200V. G2 voltage cannot be conveniently measured during
normal operation.
-200V is the supply to the control grid (G1) of the CRTs through the Video
Amplifier Board. This voltage is not user controllable. The -200V is the only
output voltage from the HVPS that goes to the backplane of the projector to be
routed to the Video Amplifier, and uses the rear-most LED of the backplane LED
bar for indication.
-200V is the only convenient means of directly observing whether or not the
HVPS is turned on, either by observing the indicator LED on the backplane, or by
probing the control connector with a voltmeter.
Model 330, 340SC and 370SC Service Model2-13
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
As with the other indicators on that LED bar, the LED is in series with current
limiting resistor, so a lit LED indicates only the presence of a voltage, not
necessarily the correct voltage.
The control grid, G1, voltage is regulated to -81V during normal operation.
During blanking, G1 is pulled to -111V. When the CRTs are disabled for
protection, G1 is pulled to its maximum negative level of -200V, which can be
measured, at the control connector, pin 6.
2.5 Card Cage
The Card Cage provides support and protection for five (5) circuit boards, the
Phase Locked Loop and the optional Decoder Board in the HJT Model 330,
340SC and 370SC projectors. The five-(5) circuit boards are, from rear to front,
the VPB, RTG, SCB, VDB, and HDB. Each circuit board has it's own keyed slot.
A circuit board cannot easily be plugged into the wrong slot since the connectors
will not match up.

Four (4) fans on the right side of the card cage cool the circuit cards in the card
Electronics Card Cage
cage. These fans are energized by the +24V standby power from the SPS. They
start when either the Arc Lamp or the electronics are powered up and run for
approximately five (5) minutes after the projector is shut down.
The five-(5) cards in the card cage are held into position by both the friction of the
connectors and by a circuit board retaining bar. The circuit board retaining bar
should always be installed during projector operation.
A lightweight top cover is included with the card cage. Eight (8) screws secure the
cover. The cover provides for direction of air flow and for physical protection of
the circuit cards contained in the card cage. The cover should always be installed
when the projector is in operation to ensure adequate cooling of the circuit cards
and to prevent foreign materials from falling into the electronics.
2-14Model 330, 340SC, and 370SC Service Manual
The card cage is hinged in the rear to allow it to be folded backward for access to
the CRT housing (when folding the card cage backward be sure that nothing is
plugged into the rear electronic jacks or the plugs could be severely damaged).
During normal operation, the card cage should be in its upright position to ensure
proper cooling of the CRT enclosure.
A holddown screw is provided to secure the card cage and prevent it from rotating
backward during shipping or when the projector is mounted in an upwardpointing position. The holddown screw is located on the lower, front, right corner
of the card cage.
The rear panel of the card cage provides mounting for the projector controls. The
VPB, which receives all image and sync inputs, is secured to the rear panel by
four screws. The RS-232 control connectors and the IR receiver and repeater
inputs as well as the LED dot matrix status display are located on the lower left of
the rear panel. The projector model and serial numbers are also found on the rear
panel.
2.6 Circuit Boards
Chapter 2—Functional Descriptions
The Model 330, 340SC and 370SC projectors have a total of twelve (12)
accessible circuit boards. Seven (7) boards are located within the card cage
(Figure 2-9) and five (5) are located outside the card cage (Table 2-2).
