1 Safety Precautions

1.1. GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. When servicing, observe the original lead dress. If a short circuit is found, replace all parts which have been overheated or damaged by the short circuit.

2. After servicing, see to it that all the protective devices such as insulation barriers, insulation papers shields are properly installed.

3. After servicing, make the following leakage current checks to prevent the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.

(This “Safety Precaution” is applied only in U.S.A.)

1. Before servicing, unplug the power cord to prevent an electric shock.

2. When replacing parts, use only manufacturer’s recommended components for safety.

3. Check the condition of the power cord. Replace if wear or damage is evident.

4. After servicing, be sure to restore the lead dress, insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, etc.

5. Before returning the serviced equipment to the customer, be sure to make the following insulation resistance test to prevent the customer from being exposed to a shock hazard.

1.1.1. LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK

1. Unplug the AC cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs on the plug.

2. Measure the resistance value, with an ohmmeter, between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metallic cabinet part on the equipment such as screwheads, connectors, control shafts, etc. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1MΩ and 5.2Ω. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be

Figure. 1

1.1.2. LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK (See Figure 1.)

1. Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet. Do not use an isolation transformer for this check.

2. Connect a 1.5kΩ, 10 watts resistor, in parallel with a 0.15µF capacitors, between each exposed metallic part on the set and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Use an AC voltmeter, with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity, to measure the potential across the resistor.

4. Check each exposed metallic part, and measure the voltage at each point.

5. Reverse the AC plug in the AC outlet and repeat each of the above measurements.

6. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. A leakage current tester (Simpson Model 229 or equivalent) may be used to make the hot checks, leakage current must not exceed 1/2 milliamp. In case a measurement is outside of the limits specified, there is a possibility of a shock hazard, and the equipment should be repaired and rechecked before it is returned to the customer.

1.2. Before Repair and Adjustment (Digital Receiver SE-FX60P)

This model uses switching mode power supply (SMPS) module to provide the necessary voltages for the receiver (SE-FX60P)

DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT DIRECTLY (with a screwdriver blade, for instance), as this may destroy solid state devices.

After repairs are completed, restore power gradually using a variac, to avoid overcurrent.

Current consum ption at AC 120V, 60Hz in NO SIGNAL mode (at volume minimum) should be ~150 mA.

SH-HT441WP

1.3. Protection Circuitry

The protection circuitry may have operated if either of the following conditions are noticed:

· No sound is heard when the power is turned on.

· Stops during a performance.

The function of this circuitry is to prevent circuitry damage if, for example, the positive and negative speaker connection wires are “shorted”, or if speaker systems with an impedance less than the indicated rated impedance of the amplifier are used.

If this occurs, follow the procedure outline s below:

1. Turn off the power.

2. Determine the cause of the problem and correct it.

3. Turn on the power once again after one minute.

Note:

When the protection circuitry functions, the unit will not operate unless the power is first turned off and then on again.

1.4. Caution for fuse replacement

2 Prevention of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to

Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices. Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor “chip” components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electro static discharge (ESD).

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equiped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potent ial shock reasons prior to applyin g power to the unit under test.

2. After removing an electrical assembly equiped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminium foil, to prevent electrostatic charge build up or exposu re of the assembly.

3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsold er ES devices.

4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static (ESD protected)” can generate electrical charge to damage ES devices.

5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.

6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminium foil or comparable conductive material).

7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installe d.

Caution

Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device).

3 Service caution based on legal restrictions

3.1. General description about Lead Free Solder (PbF)

The lead free solder has been used in the mounting process of all electrical components on the printed circuit boards used for this equipment in considering the globally environmental conservation.

The normal solder is the alloy of tin (Sn) and lead (Pb). On the other hand, the lead free solder is the alloy mainly consists of tin (Sn), silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu), and the melting point of the lead free solder is higher approx.30 degrees C (86°F) more than that of the normal solder.

Definition of PCB Lead Free Solder being used

The letter of “PbF” is printed either foil side or components side on the PCB using the lead free solder. (See right figure)

Service caution for repair work using Lead Free Solder (PbF)

· The lead free solder has to be used when repairing the equipment for which the lead free solder is used.

(Definition: The letter of “PbF” is printed on the PCB using the lead free solder.)

· To put lead free solder, it should be well molten and mixed with the original lead free solder.

· Remove the remaining lead free solder on the PCB cleanly for soldering of the new IC.

· Since the melting point of the lead free solder is higher than that of the normal lead solder, it takes the longer time to melt

the lead free solder.

· Use the soldering iron (more than 70W) equipped with the temperature control after setting the temperature at 350±30

degrees C (662±86°F).

Recommended Lead Free Solder (Service Parts Route.)

· The following 3 types of lead free solder are available through the service parts route.

6.2.1. Operation

RF signal transmission and reception:

During the receive process, the radio signal is taken from a pair of balanc ed RF I/O pins that feed into the low noise amplifier (LNA). Direct I/Q down conversion and on-chip filtering send the processed I/Q data to the analog-to-digital converter before processing by the GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) demodulator. Within the demodulator, data detection and timing recovery circuits convert the data for transfer to an external device. The transmit process operates in a similar fashion in reverse order.

The transmitted signal is GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) modulated data that is amplified on the chip to yield a radiated output of 0dBm. A power control signal for an external amplifier is provided.

The audio baseband processor (C1BB00001102) is a digital audio processor IC encompassing apt-XTM audio compress/decompress algorithm for wireless transmission of crystal-clear CD quality audio data.

For digital transmission the analog audio signals are sampled at 48kHz and converted to 1.536Mbps digital data through an external 16-bit stereo audio codec. The digitized data are apt-XTM 4:1 compressed to 384Kbps stream data for efficient transmission. Redundancy bits for forward error correction (FEC), synchronization flags, and control signals for time-division duplexing (TDD) are appended to form data frames for error-free transmission.

In the receiver(Slave), synchronization flags and control data are first detected from the input stream. FEC decoder corrects any errors that may have been introduced during the transmission and produces error-free compressed audio data. The compressed audio is decompressed into 16-bit stereo PCM audio data through digital signal processing blocks. External audio codec converts the PCM data to 2-channel (left and right) analog audio signals.

The Tx/Rx controller is in charge of several functions such as radio channel setup, frequency hopping for interference reduction and generation of control signal for TDD and external RF chip.

In audio mode, the transmitter(Master) can send additional 16Kbps digital data simultaneously with stereo audio data.

How much time delay to transmit audio in wireless?

Audio compression and decompression requires about 3ms. Total time delay can be calculated as follows: Total delay time = audio compression time + transmitter operating time + receiver operating time + audio decompression time. Total delay time is approximately 12.2ms.

What is the power consumption?

The 2.4GHz RF module consumes about 45mA (max 65mA) for the transmitter and 55mA (max 71mA) for the receiver. The EEPROM consumes about 1mA while the baseband IC consumes about 20mA.The total power consumption is 66mA (max 86mA) for the transmitter and 76mA (max 92mA) for the receiver.

How does the system handle interference from other 2.4GHz RF devices?

SH-HT441WP

It adopts Adaptive Frequency Hoppin g Spread Spectrum (AHSS) technology to avoid interference.

How does the system handle interference from other 2.4GHz RF devices?

The system supports 3 types of Spread Spectrum. These are

1. FHSS - Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

2. AHSS - Adaptive Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

3. Fixed Chann el Mode

FHSS refers to the conventional 79 channels (or 23 dependent on the country) hopping of Bluetooth. Devices using such hopping method receives a lot of interference from other devices that use 2.4GHz range frequency such as WLAN and other Bluetooth devices. FHSS, being built to avoid interfering with other devices, rather interferes a lot with devices that has high output power using 2.4GHz frequency range and with other FHSS devices.During initialization, system scans 79 channels (or 23) and selects the clear, non-interfered and reliable channel and starts the communication between master and slave. During the channel link, the channel becomes unreliable and the error detection from FEC block exceeds the preset error threshold value, the system executes scanning, as in initialization, and reselects new clear and reliable channel.

FHSS and AHSS can be selected by setting appropriate parameters on the EEPROM IC.

In Fixed Channel mode, 4 frequency levels can be selected (2.410GHz, 2.430GHz, 2.450GHz and 2.470GHz)

Spectrum distribution characteristic of 2.4GHz RF signal

SH-HT441WP

Spectrum distribution characteristic of 2.4GHz RF signal

How can Master or Slave setting be selected? By software or hardware?

It can be selected by external control pin.

How long does it take to transmit single packet?

To establish communication channel properly, hopping frequency and Syncword of each packet should be determined by Device ID(Identification). Device ID is unique value of each device, master and slaves. Only master and slaves with same Device ID can communicate each other. Device ID can be set manually in case selected master and slaves do not communicate together. This procedure is *Device ID set*. Device ID set procedure occurs when master and slave devices boot simultaneously with ID_SET=1. In this procedure, the slave can figure out the Device ID of the master and store it in external EEPROM.When ID_SET is established, S5G3000 performs ID send/scan to send Device ID of master to slave before general page operation. In normal mode, communication is accomplished by going into page state directly without ID send/scan.

How can the Master and Slave units be paired to prevent mix-up?

It takes 2.5ms.

SH-HT441WP

6.3. Class-D Amplifier

6.3.1. How are digital amplifiers different?

A digital amplifier incorporates a switching output stage that operates according to a principle known as pulse width modulation (PWM). In contrast to the low-frequency control signal used in a conventional analog amplifier output stage, the switching output stage of a digital amplifier is controlled by a high-frequency digital signal. The high-frequency digital signal is a PWM signal, in which the music is modulated into a fixed-frequency carrier signal. In a digital amplifier, the modulation process is based on a digital pulse code modula ted (PCM) representation of the music signal (or other signal that needs amplification) from a CD player, a DVD player, or some other device.

BLOCK DIAGRAM OF TYPICAL ANALOG INPUT CLASS-D AMPLIFIER

6.3.2. What are the advantages of digital amplification technology?

· High power efficiency, i.e., smaller heat sinks and/or no fan required

· Compact (reduced PCB area)

· Low weight (reduced transformer size)

· Good sound quality (low signal distortion/THD)

6.3.3. Why is the digital amplifier so efficient?

A class-D amplifier is one in which the output transistors are operated as switches. When a transistor is off, the current through it is zero. When it is on, the voltage across it is small, ideally zero. In each case, the power dissipation is very low.

6.3.4. Does the “D” in class-D mean DIGITAL?

No. This is not correct because the operation of the class-D amplifier is based on analog principles. There is no digital coding of the signal. Before the advent of the class-D amplifier, the standard classes were class-A, class-AB, class-B, and class-C. The “D” is simply the next letter in the alphabet after “C.” Indeed, the earliest work on class-D amplifiers involved vacuum tubes and can be traced to the early 1950s.
