5.1Test Points
The chassis is equipped with test points printed on the circuit
board assemblies. They refer to the diagram letters.
Perform measurements under the following conditions:
•Service Default Mode.
•Video: colour bar signal.
•Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.
5.2Service Modes
Service Default Mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode
(SAM) offer several features for the service technician, while
the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication
between a Philips Customer Care Centre (P3C) and a
customer.
There is also the option of using ComPair, a hardware interface
between a computer (see requirements below) and the TV
chassis. It offers the ability of structured troubleshooting, test
pattern generation, error code reading, software version
readout, and software upgrading.
Minimum requirements: a Pentium processor, Windows 95/
98, and a CD-ROM drive (see also paragraph “ComPair”).
Note: In this chassis, the bi-coloured LED (red/green) is
replaced by two separate LEDs, a blue and a red one. The blue
LED is controlled by software (via ON_OFF_LED). The red
LED will light in anti-phase to the blue, but with a time delay.
This means that if the blue LED is blinking fast, the red LED will
stay off, but after the blue LED is “OFF” long enough, the red
LED will go “ON”.
So take care: In certain service modes (e.g. blinking LED,
stepwise start-up, etc.) you must observe the blue LED and
ignore the red LED.
5.2.1Service Default Mode (SDM)
Purpose
•To create a pre-defined setting, to get the same
measurement results as given in this manual.
•To override SW protections.
•To start the blinking LED procedure.
Specifications
•Tuning frequency: 475.25 MHz for PAL/SECAM.
•Colour system: SECAM L for France or PAL B/G for the
rest of Europe.
•All picture settings at 50 % (brightness, colour, contrast).
•All sound settings at 50 %, except volume at 25 %.
•All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled, like:
– (Sleep) timer.
– Child/parental lock.
– Blue mute.
– Automatic volume limiter (AVL).
– Auto switch-off (when no video signal was received for
10 minutes).
– Skip/blank of non-favourite pre-sets.
– Smart modes.
– Auto store of personal presets.
– Auto user menu time-out.
How to enter SDM
Use one of the following methods:
•Use the standard RC-transmitter and key in the code
“062596”, directly followed by the “MENU” button.
Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main
menu will appear. To switch it off, push the “MENU” button
again.
•Short for a moment the two solder pads on SSP print, with
the indication “SDM”. These solder pads are present at
both sides of the print. Activation can be performed in all
modes, except when the set has a problem with the mainprocessor.
Caution: If the SDM is entered via the pins, all the
software-controlled protections are de-activated.
•Use the DST-emulation feature of ComPair.
•Use the “DEFAULT” button on the Dealer Service Tool
(RC7150).
After entering this mode, “SDM” will appear in the upper right
corner of the screen.
How to navigate
When you press the “MENU” button on the RC transmitter, the
set will toggle between the SDM and the normal user menu
(with the SDM mode still active in the background).
How to exit SDM
Use one of the following methods:
•Switch the set to STANDBY via the RC-transmitter.
•Press the “EXIT” button on the DST.
•Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in “00”-
sequence.
5.2.2Service Alignment Mode (SAM)
Purpose
•To perform (software) alignments.
•To change option settings.
•To easily identify the used software version.
•To view operation hours.
•To display (or clear) the error code buffer.
Specifications
•Operation hours counter.
•Software version.
•Option settings.
•Error buffer reading and erasing.
•Software alignments.
How to enter SAM
Use one of the following methods:
•Via a standard RC transmitter: key in the code “062596”
directly followed by the “OSD [i+]” button. After entering
SAM with this method a service warning will appear on the
screen, you can continue by pressing any digit key on the
RC.
•Short for a moment the two solder pads on SSP print, with
the indication SAM. These solder pads are present at both
sides of the print. Depending on the software version it is
possible that the service warning will appear, you can
continue by pressing any digit key on the RC.
•Use the DST-emulation feature of ComPair.
•Press the ALIGN button on the DST while the set is in the
normal operation

Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
After entering this mode, “SAM” will appear in the upper right
corner of the screen.
Contents of SAM:
•OPERATION HOURS. Displays the accumulated total of
operation hours (not the standby hours).
•HARDWARE INFO
– ROM VERSION. Displays the date of the software and
the software version of the ROM
(example: EM6EU1-1.0_01234 = AAABBCX.Y_NNNNN).
•AAA= the chassis name.
•BB= the region: EU= Europe, AP= Asia Pacific
PAL/Multi, AN= Asia Pacific NTSC, US= USA, LT=
LATAM.
•C= the language cluster number.
•X.Y= the software version, where X is the main
version number (different numbers are not
compatible with one another) and Y is the sub
version number (a higher number is always
compatible with a lower number).
•NNNNN= last five digits of 12nc code software.
– SW VERSION RDS RADIO. Displays the software
version of the RDS radio (if RDS radio is present).
•ERRORS (followed by maximal 10 errors). The most
recent error is displayed at the upper left (for an error
explanation see paragraph “Error Codes”).
•DEFECTIVE MODULE. Here the module that generates
the error is displayed. If there are multiple errors in the
buffer, which are not all generated by a single module,
there is probably another defect. It will then display the
message “UNKNOWN” here.
•RESET ERROR BUFFER. When you press the “OK”
button, the error buffer is reset.
•ALIGNMENTS. This will activate the “ALIGNMENTS” sub-
menu.
•DEALER OPTIONS. Extra features for the dealers.
•SERVICE OPTIONS. Extra features for Service.
•INITIALISE NVM. When an NVM was corrupted (or
replaced) in the former EM3 chassis, the microprocessor
replaces the content with default data (to assure that the
set can operate). However, all pre-sets and alignment
values are gone now, and option numbers are not correct.
Therefore, this was a very drastic way. In this chassis, the
procedure is implemented in another way: The moment the
processor recognises a corrupted NVM, the “initialise
NVM” line will be highlighted. Now, you can do two things
(dependent of the service instructions at that moment):
– Save the content of the NVM via ComPair for
development analysis, before initialising. This will give
the Philips Service department an extra possibility for
diagnosis (e.g. when Development asks for this).
– Initialise the NVM (same as in the past, however now it
happens conscious).
•STORE. All options and alignments are stored when
pressing the “OK”-button
•FUNCTIONAL TEST. All devices are tested via the “OK”
button. Eventual errors are displayed in the error buffer.
The error buffer is not erased, the content returns when this
test is terminated.
•DAILY MENUS. With the “OK” button, you can go to the
normal user menu. SAM is still active in the background.
With the “MENU” button, you return from the user menu to
SAM menu. This feature can be helpful to quickly change
some settings in the user menu.
•SW MAINTENANCE
– UPGRADE. More info see paragraph Software
downloading.
– EVENTS. Not useful for service purposes. In case of
specific software problems, the development
department can ask for this info.
– BDM INFO. Broadcast Debug Menu info. The purpose
of this menu is to debug the broadcast, not the TV. The
menu gives an overview of what is received on the
current preset. Following items are displayed:

5.2.3Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can
call his dealer. The service technician can than ask the
customer to activate the CSM, in order to identify the status of
the set. Now, the service technician can judge the severity of
the complaint. In many cases, he can advise the customer how
to solve the problem, or he can decide if it is necessary to visit
the customer.
The CSM is a read only mode; therefore, modifications in this
mode are not possible.
How to enter CSM
Use one of the following methods:
•Press the “MUTE” button on the RC-transmitter
simultaneously with the “MENU” button on the TV (top
control) for at least 4 seconds.
•Key in the code “123654” via the standard RC transmitter.
Note: Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no (user)
menu on the screen!
How to navigate
By means of the “CURSOR-DOWN/UP” knob on the RCtransmitter, you can navigate through the menus.

5.4ComPair
5.4.1Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the European DST (service remote control),
which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair
has three big advantages:
•ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how
to repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you
systematically through the repair procedures.
•ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I2C level)
and is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem
areas. You do not have to know anything about I2C
commands yourself because ComPair takes care of this.
•ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automatically communicate with the chassis (when the
microprocessor is working) and all repair information is
directly available. When ComPair is installed together with
the SearchMan electronic manual of the defective chassis,
schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click away.
5.4.2Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based faultfinding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial
or RS232 cable.
For this chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV
communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service
connector.
The ComPair faultfinding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in two ways:
•Automatic (by communication with the television):
ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the
entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I2C level. ComPair
can access the I2C bus of the television. ComPair can
send and receive I2C commands to the micro controller of
the television. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to
communicate (read and write) to devices on the I2C
busses of the TV-set.
•Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain extends.
When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through
the faultfinding tree by asking you questions (e.g. Does the
screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES /
NO) and showing you examples (e.g. Measure test-point I7
and click on the correct oscillogram you see on the
oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g.
text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next
step in the faultfinding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional features like:
•Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
•Managing of pre-set lists.
•Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool (DST).
•If both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service
Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of
the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568
(Schematic/Panel) at the Mono-carrier.
– Click on the “Panel” hyperlink to automatically show
the PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
– Click on the “Schematic” hyperlink to automatically
show the position of the highlighted capacitor.

Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
5.4.3Stepwise Start-up
Under normal circumstances, a fault in the power supply, or an
error during start-up, will switch the television to protection
mode. ComPair can take over the initialisation of the television.
In this way, it is possible to distinguish which part of the startup routine (hence which circuitry) is causing the problem.
In sets with the Muppet IC present (dual screen functionality),
step 2 is skipped.
Take notice that the transition between two steps can take
some time, so give the set some time to reach a stable state.
During the transition time the LED can blink strangely.
Stepwise start- up explanation
This is realised via ComPair and is very helpful when a
protection is activated (see also chapter “Protections”).

7. Plug the mains adapter in a mains outlet, and switch the
interface “ON”. The green and red LEDs light up together.
The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while the
green LED remains lit.
8. Start the ComPair program and read the “Introduction”
chapter.
• When the set is in stepwise mode and, due to stepping-up,
a protection is activated, the set will really go into protection
(blinking LED). The set will not leave the stepwise-mode
however. If state X is the state where the set went to
protection, stepwise start-up will return to state X-1. At
state (X-1) diagnostic measurements can be performed.
Also, in the short time the set is in state X but not yet in
protection, you can also do some measurements.
•Due to the initialisation process of the Muppet IC, step 2 is
not available in sets with Muppet. In this case, step 2 and
3 become one step
5.4.4How To Connect
1. First, install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick
Reference Card for installation instructions).
2. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial
(COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked with
“PC”) of the ComPair interface.
3. Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector
(marked with “POWER 9V DC”) of the ComPair interface.
4. Switch the ComPair interface “OFF”.
5. Switch the television set “OFF” with the mains switch.
6. Connect the ComPair interface cable between the
connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface
(marked with “I2C”) and the ComPair connector at the rear
side of the TV.
5.5.1 Introduction
The error code buffer contains all detected errors since the last
time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left to
right, new errors are logged at the left side, and all other errors
shift one position to the right.
When an error has occurred, the error is added to the list of
errors, provided the list is not full or the error is a protection
error.
When an error occurs and the error buffer is full, then the new
error is not added, and the error buffer stays intact (history is
maintained), except when the error is a protection error.
To prevent that an occasional error stays in the list forever, the
error is removed from the list after 50+ operation hours.
When multiple errors occur (errors occurred within a short time
span), there is a high probability that there is some relation
between them.
5.5.2 How to read the Error Buffer
Use one of the following methods:
•On screen via the SAM (only if you have a picture).
Examples:
– 0 0 0 0 0: No errors detected
– 6 0 0 0 0: Error code 6 is the last and only detected
error
– 9 6 0 0 0: Error code 6 was first detected and error code
9 is the last detected error
Page 14
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
EN 29EM6E5.
•Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no
picture). See next paragraph.
•Via ComPair.
5.5.3How to clear the Error Buffer
Use one of the following methods:
•By activation of the “RESET ERROR BUFFER” command
in the SAM menu.
•With a normal RC, key in sequence “MUTE” followed by
“062599” and “OK”.
•When you transmit the commands “DIAGNOSE” - “99” “OK” with ComPair (or with a DST).
•If the content of the error buffer has not changed for 50+
hours, it resets automatically.
5.5.4Error Codes
In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before
you begin the repair. This to ensure that old error codes are no
longer present. Before clearing the buffer, write down the
content, as this history can give you significant information.
If possible, check the entire contents of the error buffer. In
some situations, an error code is only the result of another error
code and not the actual cause (e.g., a fault in the protection
detection circuitry can also lead to a protection).
There are various errors:
•I2C device errors.
•I2C bus errors.
•Protection errors.
•Errors not related to an I2C device, but of importance:
– BLACK CURRENT LOOP (ERROR 28): detection of a
continuous fail of the black current stabilisation loop of
the HOP.
– FALCONIC (ERROR 26): at start-up, after initialisation
of the PICNIC, the presence of the FALCONIC can be
checked.
– EAGLE (ERROR 27): at start-up, after initialisation of
the PICNIC, the presence of the Eagle can be
checked.

Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
Note:
•Error codes 1, 6, or 18 are protection codes and in this
case, supplies of some circuits will be switched “OFF”.
Also, in protection, the LED will blink the number of times
equivalent to the most recent error code.
•Some errors are only for TDL-sets (EM6E AB) or sets with
hard disk.
Extra info for certain errors:
•Error 91: If the TDL microprocessor gets an error from the
LCD display, this will be reported to the OTC, and will log
error 91 (only for TDL sets).
•Error 92: If one of the micro-switches of the LCD display is
not closed within a timeout, the TDL microprocessor will
report an error to the OTC, and error 92 will be logged (only
for TDL sets).
•Error 93: If the 3V3 is not present in DVD mode, or is
present when DVD is in stand-by, error 93 will be logged.
The presence or absence of the supply voltage is detected
via the I/O expander (schematic T3) (only for TDL sets).
•Error 97: There are 2 inputs to generate an error: The IO
expander that checks the supply voltages and the HDD
processor witch controls the hard disk itself. Both generate
the same error: HDD error (only for sets with HDD).
•Error 98: via a control line of the HDD interface IC (7022)
is sensed if the HDD fan is turning. In case the fan is not
turning, the HDD will be switched off and error 98 will be
logged (only for sets with HDD).
5.6The Blinking LED Procedure
5.6.1Introduction
Via this procedure, you can make the contents of the error
buffer visible via the front LED. This is especially useful for fault
finding, when there is no picture.
When the SDM is entered, the front LED will show (blink) the
contents of the error-buffer. Error-codes > 10 are shown as
follows:
– A long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the decimal
digit),
– A pause of 1.5 s,
– “n” short blinks (where “n” = 1 - 9),
– When all the error-codes are displayed, the sequence
finishes with a LED blink of 3 s,
– The sequence starts again.
Example: Error 12 9 6 0 0.
After activation of the SDM, the front LED will show:
– 1 long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the decimal
digit) followed by a pause of 1.5 s,
– 2 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
– 9 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
– 6 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
– 1 long blink of 3 s to finish the sequence,
– The sequence starts again.
Note: If errors 1, 6 or 18 occur, the LED always gives the last
occurred error even if the set is NOT in service mode.
5.6.2How to Enter
Use one of the following methods:
•Enter the SDM (only via soldering pads marked “SDM” on
SSP). The blinking front LED will show the entire contents
of the error buffer (this works in “normal operation” mode
and in “protection” mode).
•Transmit the commands “MUTE” - “062500” - “OK” with a
normal RC. The complete error buffer is shown. Take
notice that it takes some seconds before the blinking LED
starts.
•Transmit the commands “MUTE” - “06250x” - “OK” with a
normal RC (where “x” is a number between 1 and 5). When
x= 1 the last detected error is shown, x= 2 the second last
error, etc.... Take notice that it takes some seconds before
the blinking LED starts.
•“DIAGNOSE X” with the DST (where “x” is a number
between 1 and 5). When x= 1 the last detected error is
shown, x= 2 the second last error, etc.... When x = 0 all
errors are shown.
5.7Protections
5.7.1 Introduction
This chassis has only one microprocessor (OTC), which
remains active during Standby. This because power of the
microprocessor and the attached memory chip set is coming
from the 3V3 supply, which is derived from the 5V Standbycircuitry. Therefore, in both Power-on as in Standby mode, the
microprocessor is connected to this power supply.
If a fault situation is detected, an error code will be generated
and if necessary, the set is put in protection mode. The
protection mode is indicated by the blinking of the front LED at
a frequency of 3 Hz (or by a coded blinking in special cases).
In some error cases however, the microprocessor does not put
the set in the protection mode (this is the case with the hardware - loudspeaker protection of the audio amplifier).
The content of the error buffer can be read via the service menu
(SAM), the blinking LED procedure or via DST/ComPair.
To get a quick diagnosis, this chassis has three service-modes
implemented:
•The Customer Service Mode (CSM).
•The Service Default Mode (SDM). Start-up of the set in a
predefined way.
•The Service Alignment Mode (SAM). In this mode, items
of the set can be adjusted via a menu.
You can enter both SDM and SAM modes via the “service
pads” on the SSP, via an RC-transmitter (DST or standard RC),
or via ComPair. It is not possible to enter the SAM in “standby”;
the TV has to be in “normal operation” mode.
The “Protection Diagram” shows the structure of the protection
system. See diagram below.

EN 31EM6E5.
There are several types of protections:
•I2C related protections.
•OTC related protections (via polling on I/O pins or via
algorithms).
•HOP related protections (mainly for deflection items).
•Hardware errors that are not sensed by the OTC (e.g.
In normal operation, some registers of the I2C controlled ICs
are refreshed every 200 ms. During this sequence, the I2C
busses and the I2C ICs are checked.
An I2C protection will take place if the SDA and SCL lines are
short-circuited to ground, or to each other. An I2C error will also
occur, if the power supply of the IC is missing (e.g. FBX_PROT
(error 16)).
5.7.3OTC Related Protections
If a protection is detected at an OTC input, the OTC will start to
scan all protection inputs every 200 ms for 5 times. If the
protection on one of the inputs is still active after 1 s, the
microprocessor will put the set in the protection mode. Before
the scanning is started, a so-called “ESD refresh” is carried out.
This is done, because the interrupt on one of the inputs is
possibly caused either by a flash or by ESD. As a flash or ESD
can influence IC settings, the HIP, MSP, 3D Comb (US only)
and wireless module are initialised again, to ensure the normal
picture and sound conditions of the set.
8 V and 5 V protections: The microprocessor senses the
presence of the 8 V and 5 V (via the “+5V_CON” and
“+8V_CON” lines). If one (or both) of these voltages is (are) not
present, an error code is stored in the error buffer of the NVM,
and the set is put in the protection mode.
•BRIDGECOIL protection: This is sensed via the “EW”
signal going to the base of TS7652 (via R3495 and D6499).
In a normal situation, the voltage on C2498 (diagram A4) is
high and TS7652 is conducting. When bridge coil 5422
(diagram A3) is short circuited, the voltage on C2498
changes to low, which will block TS7652. In this case, also
TS7641 will block and the voltage on 2642 will rise until
TS7443 is forced in conduction. The “SUP-ENABLE” signal
(in normal operating condition -20 V) is shorted now to
ground level, which will force the Main Power Supply to
Standby mode.
•ARC protection: If there are “open” connections (e.g. bad
solder joints) in the high-energy deflection circuitry, this can
lead to damaging effects (read: fire). For that reason, the E/
W current is sensed (via 3479//3480). If this current
becomes too high, the “thyristor” circuit (TS7653 and
TS7654) is triggered. TS7442 is switched “on” and TS7443
is forced into conduction. . The “SUP-ENABLE” signal is
shorted now to ground level, which will force the Main
Power Supply to Standby mode.
•NON_VFB (No vertical Flyback) protection: If the frame
stage generates no pulses, TS7641 will block. TS7443 is
now switched “on”, which will lead to Standby mode.
Therefore, in normal operation condition, TS7641 and
TS7652 are conducting, while TS7443 is blocked.
Circuit Protection
The following fault condition will lead to a “partly” set protection:
•PROT1 (DC) protection: When a DC-voltage (positive or
negative) is sensed on one of the loudspeaker outputs, the
protection circuit (TS7704, 7705, 7706 and 7707 in
diagram A6) will put the IC7700 in Standby mode (via tristate input pin 6). For more details, see chapter “Circuit
Descriptions”.
5.8Repair tips
5.8.1Miscellaneous
5.7.4HOP Related Protections
The OTC reads every 200 ms, the status register of the HOP
(via the I2C bus). If a protection signal is detected on one of the
inputs of the HOP, the relevant error bit in the HOP register is
set to “high”. If this error bit is still “high” after 1 s, the OTC will
store the error code in the error buffer of the NVM and,
depending on the relevancy of the error bit, the set will either
go into the protection mode or not.
The following protections are implemented:
•HFB (Horizontal Flyback): If the horizontal flyback is not
present, this is detected via the HOP (HFB_XRAY_PROT). One status bit is set to “high”. The error code
is stored in the error buffer and the set will go into the
protection mode.
•XPR (X-ray protection): If the HFB pulses are too low
(level detection), the HOP will detect this via the XPR-bit.
The error will be logged in the error buffer and the set will
go into protection mode.
Note: Both errors will be logged as HFB-failure.
5.7.5Hardware Related Protections
Due to the architecture (“hot” deflection), some protections
cannot be sensed by the microprocessor. Three of these
protections will lead to a protection on set level (Standby mode
and blinking LED), while another will only lead to a circuit
protection.
The relay you hear when you switch the set “on” (from Standby
or via the mains switch), is from the degaussing circuitry. It is
not used for switching the Power Supply (as done in the MGchassis).
Take care not to touch the “hot” heatsink while disconnecting
the SSP, despite the fact that the mains cord is out of the mains
socket. There can still be an annoying rest-voltage on the
heatsink for a short while. Because the discharge resistors
3502 and 3503 (on the LSP between hot and cold part) are not
stuffed for Europe. Instead, discharge resistors 3066 and 3057
on the Mains Switch panel are used, but because they are
located before the Mains switch, they only discharge when this
switch is “on”.
Advice: when you want to disconnect the SSP, first disconnect
the Mains cord, but keep the Mains Switch “on”.
Where the circuitry was too “crowded” for service printing, you
can find the correct location on the “test point overviews” in this
manual.
A very large part of the LSP is “hot”, such as:
– The primary part of the Standby Supply.
– The whole Main supply (except for the secondary Audio
supply).
– And the complete deflection circuitry (so notice that the
deflection coil is hot!).
TV-set Protection
The following fault conditions will lead to a “complete” set
protection:

Figure 5-4 Start-up circuitry
The start up sequence differs from other sets (e.g. MG-sets or
EM2E-sets, but is same as in EM3E-set):
1. When the set is switched “on”, the 5 and 8 V lines
(“+5V_CON” and “+8V_CON”) of the standby power supply
are activated.
2. After the OTC senses them, the µP will address the HOP
via the I2C-bus, to start the drive [1].
3. Via the “SUP-ENABLE” signal, the Main Supply is switched
“on” and will deliver the V_BAT to the Line deflection stage
[2].
4. EHT generation is now started.
5. The OTC will un-blank the picture.
6. When you switch “off” the set, this is done in a controlled
way via the POR signal [3].
Note: Standby is not directly achieved via the Standby line of
the microprocessor, but indirectly via the HOP circuitry.

When you suspect the “ARC” protection, look for bad solder
joints and smell. By interrupting resistor 3497, this protection is
disabled (special attention needed!).
When you suspect the “BRIDGECOIL” protection, which can
also be due to a too wide picture amplitude, shorten G and S of
the E/W MOSFET 7480. This will disable the protection. You
will now have minimal horizontal amplitude. Re-align the
horizontal amplitude in the SAM menu and remove the G/S
short of TS7480.
5.8.5 Main Supply
The simplest way is, to replace the components of the Main
Supply with repair kit 3122 785 90550.
More detailed way:
1. Replace FET 7504 and zener 6505.
2. Disconnect the SSP panel.
3. Short B and E of TS7529, in order to put the Main Supply
in “on”-mode (TS7529 is blocking then).
Caution: To prevent that R3403 and TS7443 will be
damaged, first disable the HW-protection of the deflection circuit. Therefore short circuit C2642 on the
LSP (diagram A4).
4. Attach a load of 500 Ω to V_BAT capacitor C2515 (the
supply can not work without a minimum load).
5. Use a variac, and slowly increase the V_MAINS. Measure
over sensing resistors R3514//15, if a nice sawtooth
voltage becomes available.
6. Also measure the V_BAT. This may never exceed +141 V.
If it does, there is something wrong in the feedback circuitry
(e.g. regulator 7506).
Note: Be careful when measuring on the gate of FET TS7504.
This circuitry is very high ohmic and can easily be damaged
(first connect ground to measuring equipment, than measure
the gate).
5.8.6 Standby Supply
The simplest way is to replace the components of the Standby
Supply with repair kit 3122 785 90530.
5.8.7 Line Deflection
5.8.3ComPair
This chassis does not have an IR transmitting LED (as in MGsets). Therefore, a “Service” (ComPair) connector is
implemented at the rear side of the set, which is directly
accessible (as in A10-, EM2E-, EM3E and EM5E-sets). In
addition to this, there is also a blinking LED procedure to show
the contents of the error buffer.
When you use ComPair, you have the possibility to activate a
“stepwise start-up” mode. With this mode, you can initiate the
start-up sequence step by step. This also means that in certain
steps, some protections are not activated. This is sometimes
very convenient during repair.
5.8.4Protections
Activating SDM via the “service pads” will overrule the
processor-controlled protections, but not the hardware
protections. This means, that the A/D-input protections (5 and
8 V) and the I2C “not-acknowledging” info of the feature box
(FBX) and of the Tuner are overruled.
Caution: When doing this, the service technician must know
what he is doing, as it could lead to damaging the set.
The “ARC”- and/or “BRIDGECOIL” protection are hardly ever
triggered, however:
The simplest way is to replace the components of the Line
Deflection circuitry with repair kit: 3122 785 90330.
Caution: item 3400 used in this chassis is different from the
part supplied in the kit. See partlist for correct value and
ordercode.
5.8.8 Frame Deflection
Caution: When the Frame Deflection circuitry is suspected,
one must be careful. Because there is a DC-voltage on the
frame deflection, the beam current could damage the CRT neck, leading to a defective CRT.
To prevent this from happening, you must:
Interrupt the resistors 3403 and 3404 on the CRT panel
(diagram F1), in order to remove the “filament” voltage from the
tube (no beam current, so no chance of destroying the CRT).
Interrupt resistor 3403 on the LSP (diagram A4) to disable the
“SUP-ENABLE” line.
Measure with a multi-meter, or better with an oscilloscope, the
functionality of the Frame stage.
After you have found the cause, exchange the defective
component (e.g. TDA8177), and re-solder the interrupted
resistors.

You have no picture, so:
- Read the error buffer via ComPair (error buffer is accessible when set is in protection,
compare-file will guide you to this)
- Read the blinking LED information via standard remote command <mute>06250x<ok>.
- Or you read the error code sequence via standard remote command
<mute>062500<ok>.
When you have found the error, check the circuitry related to the supply voltage and I2Ccommunication or the circuitry that triggers the protection.
As processor cannot communicate with one of the 2 busses it the standby-led spontaneously starts blinking 6-6-6-etc or 18-18-18-etc...
If in the error buffer somewhere is an error 6 or 18, these will have the highest priority
starting the mentioned blinking.
Measure dependent of the error on the I2C-bus which device is loading the bus. (Use
I2C-overview)
As the uP cannot communicate with the NVM I2C bus, it spontaneously starts blinking
1-1-1. Note: when there is no access to the NVM, a lot of picture setting can go wrong.
Possible causes:
- V_BAT is shorted (caused by short circuited line transistor 7421), or
- Sound winding is shorted (amplifier is shortening the power supply lines), or
- D6514 is shorted (due to a too high V_BAT).
Remove excessive load, to see what causes the failure, or check feedback circuit. See
repair tip 'Main Power Supply' (supply needs a minimal load).
If e.g. V_BAT is only about 90 V, it is possible that the regulator IC (7506) is defective.
In case the set does react on a local keyboard operation, you must check the RC-receiver circuitry (diagram E).
Check RESET-circuitry on diagram B5A. Check the level on pin 115 when you switch the
set 'on'. Signal must be low initially and go to high after approx. 12 s.
Measure test points on diagram A5.
Probably a bad connection from LSP connector 1424 to CRT connector 1424 (diagram
F1), or an interruption of the 200 V supplies line (e.g. R3341 on circuit F1 is interrupted).
Re-align the 'FOCUS' potmeter on the Line Output Transformer, or check the SCAVEM
circuitry on the CRT-panel (diagram F2). It is also possible that the DAF circuitry is defective (see diagram I). Check the V_dc values.
Maybe the crystals 1305 and/or 1308 are making a bad contact.
Investigate whether there is an error code present in the error buffer. In case there is one,
check the I2C-bus and/or supply lines (see overview supply lines).
Measure and check signal path Tuner-HIP-PICNIC-HOP-RGB amplifier.
In case it is a geometry issue, check on diagram A4 opto-coupler 7482, OpAmps 7440/
7450 and the Frame circuitry alignments or a possible corrupted NVM (7011) on diagram
B5A.
Check functionality on circuitry (B3a, B3b, and B3c) of PICNIC (7713), FALCONIC
(7718, EAGLE (7724) and/or field memories (7714, 7717, 7719, 7722 and 7723.
Tip: the whole Pixel Plus chipset (3 ICs + 5 Field Memories) can be diagnosed via ComPair.
Check circuitry around IC7012 on diagram B5A.
Check circuitry around IC7007 on diagram B5A. Check also B61to B64 around uP on
diagram B5A.

In the frame-blanking period of the R, G, and B signals applied
to the CRT, the HOP video processor inserts a measuring
pulse with different DC levels. Measure the black level pulse
during the vertical flyback at the RGB cathodes of the CRT.
1. Use the MENU key to enter the "user" menu, select
"Picture", and set "Brightness" and "Contrast" to minimum.
2. Enter SAM by pressing the following key sequence on the
remote control transmitter: 062596 directly followed by

menus. All these alignments are explained below.
Notes:
•All changes to menu items and alignments are stored
automatically, except changes to the option codes. They
must be stored manually.
•If an empty EAROM (permanent memory) is detected, all
settings are set to pre-programmed default values.
8.3.1GENERAL
VG2 TEST PATTERN
In this sub menu, you can turn "on" the OSD feedback for the
Vg2 alignment (see "Vg2 Adjustment" section).
ADJUST PEAK WHITE LIMITER
Fixed setting of "9".
EHT COMPENSATION
Fixed setting of "0".
SOFT CLIPPER
Fixed setting of "Pwl + 0%".

IF AFC
Supply, via a service generator or via off-air, a TV-signal with a
signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 475.25 MHz.
Alignment procedure:
1. During the IF AFC-parameter adjustment, one can see
OSD feedback on the screen.
2. The OSD feedback can give 4 kinds of messages:
3. The first item (IN/OUT) informs you whether you are in or
out of the AFC-window.
4. The second item (HIGH/LOW) informs you whether the
AFC-frequency is too high or too low.

2. From the generator, input a PAL B/G TV signal with a
signal strength of approximately 2 mV and a frequency of
475.25 MHz.
3. Measure the DC voltage on pin 1 of the (main) Tuner. You
can adjust this voltage by adjusting the TUNER AGC item
in the SAM menu. Alignment is correct when the DC
voltage is just below 3.5 V.
IF AFC TUNER 2
Use the same procedure as described above (under IF AFC)
with the set switched to the DW source.
IF LPRIME AFC TUNER 2
Use the same procedure as described above (under IF
LPRIME AFC) with the set switched to the DW source.
TUNER AGC TUNER 2
Use the same procedure as described above (under TUNER
AGC) with the set switched to the DW source. Measure on pin
1 of the DW Tuner.
BLEND INTENSITY
Use this alignment when you replace the microcontroller or the
HOP. It aligns the level of transparency of the menu-picture
blended into the main-picture.
Position the "Brightness", "Contrast", and "Colour" setting in
the middle position (in the customer "Picture" menu).
1. Apply a signal with a 100 % white video pattern (white
raster).
2. Connect an oscilloscope to pin 8 of connector 1298 of the
CRT panel and measure the Red output level.
3. Align the BLEND INTENSITY parameter so that the
blended signal is 65 % of the black-white amplitude. This
will be about 1.3 V (blended signal) versus 2 V (full white
signal).
4. The parameter can be adjusted from 0 to 31.
8.3.2 DRIVE (Colour Alignments)
Note: Switch off all (available) colour-influencing features (set
the TV in ECO-mode).
Method 1 (with colour analyser):
1. Set, via the user menu, the "Contrast" to "100".
2. In SAM, select TEST PATTERN and turn it ON. During the
following alignments, you will see a white block in the
middle of the screen. Measure with the colour analyser on
this area.
3. Set, via the user menu, the "Brightness" to a value between
3.0 and 5.0 Nit (rough setting).
4. in SAM, select CATHODE and adjust the set to the correct
light output. This setting depends on the picture tube size
and brand. See "Cathode parameter" table for the colour
analyser readings.
5. Select a COLOR TEMPERATURE (e.g. COOL, NORMAL,
or WARM).
6. Adjust the white level, via RED, GREEN, and BLUE,
according to the values in table "White levels".
1. Adjust the IF AFC parameter until the first value is within
the AFC window (= IN).
2. Next, adjust the IF AFC parameter until the second value
is LOW.
IF LPRIME AFC
Same procedure as described above but with other signal
source (SECAM L').
TUNER AGC
1. Connect the RF output of a video pattern generator to the
antenna input.

If you do not have a colour analyser, you can use the default
values. This is the next best solution. The default values are
average values coming from production (statistics).
1. Select CATHODE and enter the value "15" (for all picture
tubes).
2. Select a COLOUR TEMPERATURE (e.g. COOL,
NORMAL, or WARM).
3. Set the RED, GREEN and BLUE default values according
to the values in the "Tint settings" table.
4. RED BL OFFSET: the Black Level can be aligned very
precisely here. The default value is "7".
5. GREEN BL OFFSET: the Black Level can be aligned very
precisely here. The default value is "7".

With this alignment, you place the luminance information
exactly on the chrominance information (brightness is pushed
onto the colour). Use a colour bar / grey scale pattern as test
signal.
•LUM. DELAY PAL BG: Apply a PAL BG colour bar / grey
scale pattern as a test signal. Adjust this parameter until
the transients of the colour part and black and white part of
the test pattern are at the same position. Default value is
"9".
•LUM. DELAY PAL I: Apply a PAL I colour bar/grey scale
pattern as a test signal. Adjust this parameter until the
transients of the colour part and black and white part of the
test pattern are at the same position. Default value is "9".
•LUM. DELAY SECAM: Apply a SECAM colour bar/grey
scale pattern as a test signal. Adjust this parameter until
the transients of the colour part and black and white part of
the test pattern are at the same position. Default value is
"11".
•LUM. DELAY BYPASS: apply a NTSC colour bar/
greyscale pattern as a test signal. Adjust this value until the
transients of the colour and black and white part of the test
area are at the same position. Default value is "10".

this menu item to check its correct alignment. If alignment is not
correct, go to the user menu, choose SETUP, GENERAL, and
TILT ADJUST. With the use of a crosshatch test pattern, align
it to achieve a correct horizontal picture.
V. SLOPE
Aligns the zero crossing of the frame deflection to the
mechanical middle of the picture tube.
1. First set the start conditions for 16:9 sets: V. SCORRECTION value on "16" for the 28 inch, "18" for the 32
inch, or "20" for the 36 inch sets.
2. Align V. SLOPE (during alignment, the lower half of the
picture is blanked) so that the middle line of the test pattern
is matched with the edge of the pattern transient in the
middle of the picture.
3. Repeat the alignment if necessary.

8.4Option Settings
8.4.1 Introduction
The microprocessor communicates with a large number of I2C
ICs in the set. To ensure good communication and to make
digital diagnosis possible, the microprocessor has to know
which ICs to address. The presence / absence of these specific
ICs (or functions) is made known by the option codes.
Notes:
•After changing the option(s), save them with the STORE
command.
•The new option setting is only active after the TV is
switched "off" and "on" again with the Mains switch (the
EAROM is then read again).

8.4.3OPT. NO. (Option numbers)
Select this SERVICE OPTIONS sub menu to set all options at
once (expressed in two long strings of numbers).
An option number (or "option byte") represents a number of
different options. When you change these numbers directly,
you can set all options very quickly. All options are controlled
via eight option numbers.
When the EAROM is replaced, all options will require resetting.
To be certain that the factory settings are reproduced exactly,
you must set both option number lines. You can find the correct
option numbers on the CRT sticker inside the TV set.
Example: The CRT sticker gives the following option numbers:
•04187 08270 49936 00513
•04118 00001 00001 00326
The first line (group 1) indicates options 1 to 4, the second line
(group 2) options 5 to 8 (see tables below).
Every 5-digit number represents 16 bits (so the maximum
number will be 65536 if all options are set).
When all the correct options are set, the sum of the decimal
values of each Option Byte (OB) will give the option number.
Service tip: An easy way to check the option numbers is:
1. Convert the decimal option number (as given on the CRT
sticker) to a binary number (e.g. by means of the 'scientific'
calculator that comes with MS Windows™).
E.g. OB4= 00513 (dec)= 000000100000001 (bin)
2. Use this binary number to check against the bits as
mentioned in the tables below. This means in abovementioned sample, that Bit 0 en Bit 9 are "1" (means "set"),
and that the rest is "0". So, actually this means that the
options "PIP/Aux Tuner" (Bit 0) and "Integrated Hard disk"
(Bit 9) are set for this particular model.

descriptions, please use the diagrams in chapter 6 and 7.
Where necessary, you will find a separate drawing for
clarification.
9.1Introduction
9.1.1New Features
The new EM6 chassis has the following (new) features:
•Next step "Active Control" with: two new bars ("Motion" and
"Tint Control" bar), four split demos, etc.
•Two tuner PIP/ FDS (Picture In Picture / Full Dual Screen).
•Same Large Signal Panel (LSP), but able to handle more
power and prepared for future extensions like DVD, Digital
TV (DTV), and Hard Disc Drive (HDD).
•New Small Signal Panel (SSP), which is however based on
the existing EM5 architecture: not longer a shielded
module via 80-pins SIMM connector as in EM5, but a full
panel with integrated (shielded) Feature Box as in MGchassis. This approach gives better EMC / crosstalk
behaviour and less cables.
•Dolby ProLogic 2 (only in top models). New algorithm
provides stereo surround sound from any stereo source.
Further, a higher bandwidth for all channels, so better
channel separation and better sound quality.
•Eco Digital Dolby with new flat surround speakers (NXT
technology). Multi-channel sound integrated on SSB via
new Micronas chipset.
•Downloadable main software (via ComPair).
•Scavem on TXT.
•Flex TV (hard disc pack). This will allow time shift recording
(3 hrs buffer in HQ), instant recording, or programmed
recording (not in all models).
•Built in RDS radio with LCD display (only for Technical
Design Line models).
•Built in DVD player (not in all models).
The LSP (single sided) is built up very conventional, with hardly
any surface mounted components on the copper side. It has a
large "hot" part, including both deflection coils.
9.1.3 Small Signal Panel
The SSP is a high tech module (four layer, 2 sides reflow
technology, full SMC) with very high component density and
partial shielding (FBX) for EMC-reasons. Despite this, it is
designed in such a way, that repair on component level is
possible. To achieve this, attention was paid to:
•Accessibility of the test points. The SSP has good
accessible service positions.
•Clearance around surface mounted ICs (for replacing).
•Detailed diagnostics and fault finding is possible via
ComPair.
•Software upgrading is possible via ComPair.
Further features of the SSP are:
•The PIP functionality is integrated on the SSP.
•It is equipped with a "multi-media" connector for so-called
"bolt on" modules like DVD and HDD.
•The 3D Comb filter functionality (for USA) is integrated on
the SSP.
•The rear I/O connections (like SCART and cinch) are
integrated on the SSP, even as the (2) tuner(s) and
wireless transmitter jack.
On the next photographs you can see where all the functional
cells are located on the SSP:
9.1.2Large Signal Panel
The chassis has a full sized Large Signal Panel / Small Signal
Panel combination (LSP/SSP). The SSP is connected to the
LSP by means of two IDE connectors and flex cables.
The main functionalities of the LSP are supply, deflection, and
sound amplification.
The main functionalities of the SSP are tuner input, I/O,
interface provisions (four SCART's), TXT/control, video / audio
decoding, Feature Box, and sync / geometry control.

The Tuner/splitter is a PLL tuner and delivers the IF-signal, via
audio and video SAW-filters, to the HIP1 (High-end Input
Processor). The HIP1 has the following functions:
•IF modulation.
•Video source select and record select.
•Colour decoder.
•Synchronization.
For DW/PIP the set is equipped with a DW-processor.
WIRELESS

The following video input/output connections (with audio
connections) are available:
•Front: interfaces CVBS and Y/C.
•EXT1: interfaces CVBS, RGB- and YUV-input (1fH)
•EXT2: interfaces CVBS and Y/C (meant for VCR/DVD
+RW connection).
•EXT3: interfaces CVBS.
•EXT4: interfaces CVBS.
•Monitor out: interfaces CVBS out.
Page 85
Circuit Descriptions, Abbreviation List, and IC Data Sheets
EN 133EM6E9.
The HIP1 delivers YUV and sync signals to the PICNIC (in the
Feature Box). This IC takes care of:
•Analogue to Digital conversion and vice versa.
•100 Hz processing
•Interlaced to progressive scan conversion.
•Panorama mode.
•Noise reduction.
•Dynamic contrast.
After the PICNIC, the YUV-signals are fed to the FALCONIC for
"Natural Motion", followed by the Eagle for "Pixel Plus"
enhancement (if present). The processed YUV signals (from
Eagle or PICNIC) are, together with the sync-signals from the
PICNIC, then fed to the HOP (High-end Output Processor).
This IC handles the video control and geometry part. The RGBsignals for CC/OSD (from the uP) are also inserted via the
HOP. The video part delivers the RGB signals to the CRTpanel and the geometry part delivers the H-drive, V-drive, E/Wdrive, and TILT-drive signals.
Both deflection circuits are "hot" and located on the LSP. The
HOP drives them. To make a galvanic separation, the Line
Drive is driven via transformer 5410 and the Frame Drive via
transformer 5621.The horizontal output stage generates some
supply voltages and the EHT voltage, focus voltage and Vg2
voltage.
The RGB amplifiers on the CRT-panel are supplied with 200 V
from the LOT.
The Auto-SCAVEM circuit modulates transitions of the
Luminance (Y) signal on the horizontal deflection current,
giving a sharper picture.
The sound part is built around the MSP44x2 (Multi-channel
Sound Processor) for IF sound detection, sound control and
source selection. Dolby decoding is done by two separate ICs
in cooperation with the MSP. Amplification is done via a "class
D" integrated power amplifier IC, the TDA7490.
The set is provided with a "wireless out" connector, for wireless
surround applications.
The microprocessor, called OTC (OSD, TXT/CC and Control)
takes care of the analogue TXT input processing and output
processing. The OTC, ROM, and RAM are supplied with 3.3 V,
which is derived from the +5V2.
The NVM (Non Volatile Memory) is used to store the settings;
the Flash-RAM contains the set software.
There is a separate Standby Supply, in order to reduce the
Standby power consumption. During Standby, the Main Supply
is switched "off" (via TS7529).
A relay (1550) is used to switch the Degaussing circuit. It is
switched "on" after set start-up and switched "off" by the
microprocessor after 12 s.
The Main Supply, a SMPS based on the "boost converter"
principle, generates the 141 V (V_BAT) and the +/- 16 V for the
audio part.
For the power supply of the FBX and DW/PIP circuits, a
separate DC/DC converter is used, generating 3.3 V.
9.3Power Supply
The power supply has a number of main functions:
•Mains harmonic filter. The mains harmonic filter has two
functions: to prevent high frequency signals (harmonics)
from being transferred into the mains and to protect the set
from lightning damage.
•Degaussing picture tube. As soon as the set is switched
"on" via the ON/OFF switch, the 5V2 is present. When the
DEGAUSSING signal from the processor (OTC) is "low",
transistor 7528 will conduct, and relay 1550 is activated.
Initially a considerable current will flow, via PTC 3516,
through the degaussing coil. The PTC will heat up,
resistance will rise, and the current will decay rapidly. The
OTC makes the DEGAUSSING signal "high" after 12 s,
which will switch "off" the relay.
– Buck-boost supply.
– 140V (not mains isolated).
– +16V and -16V for audio.
– Self-oscillating power supply (SOPS).
•DC/DC converter. The function of this part is 12 V to 3.3 V
conversion, to provide the supply voltage for the Feature
Box and DW/PIP Muppet.
9.3.1Standby power supply (diagram A2)
Compared to the EM5 circuit, there are the following
differences in the +5V and +8V Standby power supply.
•The +5V is protected against over-voltage via D6149 and
TS7140.
•If the +11V (11V_STBY line) is not present, the +5V supply
line will be switched "off" via TS7141.

Figure 9-4 New main supply circuits
Compared to the EM5 circuit, there is an improvement in the
"switch off" and "standby" behaviour of the main supply.
The circuit around TS7505 and TS7508 is a comparator
between the V_BATT and the +380 V rectified input voltage. If
V_BATT is present, the voltage divider R3554, R3555, R3560,
R3556 is referenced to the +V_BATT, meaning that TS7505
and TS7508 are blocked.
At the moment the set is switched to "standby", the V_BATT will
decrease. Now the reference of the voltage divider is
connected to ground via R3557, and also R3556 is connected
to ground because V_BATT is switched "off". In this condition,
TS7505 and TS7508 will conduct. A current will flow via
TS7508 / R3559 to the SUP-ENABLE line (which is negative),
and via TS7529 more current will flow in the opto-coupler for
"standby".
Thyristor TS7503 is a protection against "V_BATT overvoltage". If V_BATT exceeds the values of zener diodes D6524
+ D6508 + D6513 (47+56+56= 159 V), then the gate of TS7503
will be positive and the device will conduct. As a result, the
rectified voltage after the bridge rectifier will be short-circuited
to ground and the fuse will be blown.
Some important notes on V_BATT:
•This voltage is not isolated from the main supply ("hot").
•It is alignment free.

9.3.3DC/DC Converter (diagram B12)
To use a DC/DC converter has the following advantages:
•The DC/DC converter is directly on the SSB near the
circuits that needs to be powered with the 3.3 V.
•Circuits in the FBX and the DW part needs some high
current by low voltage, so, there is no risk to have power
dips or voltage loss in connections between the LSP and
the SSB panel.
The circuit used is a so-called "synchronous buck converter".
Some characteristics:
•Input parameters: 12.5 V / 330 mA.
•Output parameters: 3.42 V ± 0.15 V / 1.2 A.
•Switching frequency: approx. 60 kHz.
•Efficiency: approx. 90%.
•Inhibit (+5V) and fast turn-off (3V3_FAULT) control inputs.

Advantage to use a "synchronous buck converter" instead of a
"classical buck converter" is a better efficiency (about 90%).
The difference between the two is that in a synchronous buck
converter the "low -side" diode is replaced by a MOSFET (item
7U03). This, because the resultant voltage drop across the
MOSFET is smaller than the forward voltage drop of the diode.
This second MOSFET conducts current during the "off" times
of the first MOSFET (at the input side). The upper MOSFET
conducts to transfers energy from the input to the inductor and
load, while the lower MOSFET conducts to circulate the
inductor current. The synchronous PWM control block
regulates the output voltage by modulating the conduction
intervals of the upper and lower MOSFETs.
PWM Generator and Drivers
This circuit is build around transistors 7U01, 7U02, 7U08,
7U09, and the associated components. MOSFETs T7U04 and
T7U03 are the switching transistors, they are conducting
alternatively.
•Time sequence 1: T7U04 is conducting, energy is stored in
coil 5U01. The current is flowing from the +11V power
supply source.
•Time sequence 2: T7U04 is blocked, energy is stored in
coil 5U01.
•Time sequence 3: T7U03 is conducting, and the current
circuit is now closed via T7U03, Coil 5U01, C2U08, and the
load. So the energy stored in the coil during time sequence
T1 is consumed during sequence T3. The signal on the
gate T7U03 is 180 degrees turned compared with the
signal on the gate T7U04.
The principle of operation of the PWM generators and drivers
is an astable circuit, whose frequency is mainly given by the
values of capacitor 2U32 and resistor 3U03. Capacitors 2U05,
2U27, and 2U28 form a capacitive voltage divider to limit the
negative peak voltage on the base of transistor 7U09 at about
3 V. The same role have the capacitors 2U09 and 2U12 for the
transistor 7U08.
The resistor 3U14 and the capacitor 2U30 introduce a small
dead-time between switching "off" of transistor 7U03 and
switching "on" of transistor 7U04 to prevent cross-conduction
through them.
The capacitors 2U07, 2U16, and 2U18 speed-up the switching
of the astable circuit. This circuit is blocked in "off" state (7U02
and 7U08 saturated and 7U01 and 7U09 blocked) when the
transistor 7U11 is conducting.
This happens when either +5V has a low value (below 2 V), the
boost voltage drops below its minimum value, or the
3V3_FAULT signal is low (below 1 V) for more than 20 ...30 ms.
Voltage Booster
This circuit is build around capacitors 2U03, 2U04, 2U05,
resistor 3U51, and diodes 6U03 and 6U04.
It generates the boost voltage (approx. +20 V) for supplying the
"high-side" driver transistor for the power MOS-FET 7U04. The
voltage is generated only during normal operation of the
converter; therefore, any drop in its value means an internal
fault condition, which is sensed by the internal protection

circuit.
The AC component of the voltage on the source of transistor
7U04 is rectified by diodes 6U04 and 6U03 and added to the
input voltage, resulting into the boost voltage. The resistor
3U51 limits the peak current through the rectifier diodes to
about 300 mA.
Voltage Control Feedback
This circuit keeps the output voltage constant when the input
voltage and/or the output current vary. It is build around
transistors 7U06-A, 7U06-B, 7U05, diode 6U07, and
associated components.
A 6.9 V reference voltage is provided by zener diode D6U07

CL 36532008_149.eps

(via T7U15). Transistors T7U05 and T7U06A are comparators.
E.g. if the voltage on the base of T7U06-B increases, T7U06-B
and T7U08 will conduct more, and via T7U08 the conducting
time of T7U04 will be reduced, resulting in a decreasing output
voltage.
Linefeed Forward
This circuit (resistor 3U46) improves the line regulation factor.
Stand-by Current Reduction
This circuit is build around transistors 7U14 and 7U15. It cuts
the quiescent current through the reference zener diode 6U07
in stand-by mode.
Adapter
This circuit is necessary for having proper start-up/shut-down
operation of the converter at various shapes of the +5V voltage.
Fault detection
In "on" mode, transistors 7U12, 7U10, 7U07, and 7U13 are
conducting and the transistor 7U11 is blocked.
In protection mode, transistors 7U11, 7U07, and 7U13 are
conducting (provided that the “+5V” voltage is higher than 4.5
V) and transistors 7U10 and 7U12 are blocked.
During start-up, the protections are bypassed for a short time
(tenths of ms) by capacitors 2U22 and 2U20.
+20V Detection
This circuit detects the boost voltage, and is build around
transistor 7U12, diode 6U10, and associated components. If
the boost voltage is lower than 15 V, 7U12 and 7U10 are
blocked, 7U11 is conducting, so via 6U08 and 6U09 the PWM
and Driver circuit is switched "off".
It is also the case when the input voltage “+11V” is less than
about 10 V (the under-voltage lock-out function).
Page 87
Circuit Descriptions, Abbreviation List, and IC Data Sheets
+3V3 Detection
If the +3.3V and +5V are present, C2U26 is charged. Transistor
T7U10 conducts, T7U11 is blocked, and the PWM and Driver
circuit is working.
If there is a voltage drop on the +3.3V, the voltage on C2U25
cannot be maintained, resulting that T7U10 will block and the
PWM and driver circuit will be switched "off".
+5V Detection
The same situations if the +5V drops: T7U07 and T7U13 will
block, the reference voltage on R3U41 will drop, and a switch
"off" of the PWM and Driver circuit is the result.
Diode 6U06 is foreseen to clamp the output voltage to 5 V in
case of fault conditions (like 7U04 short-circuited D-S). The
fuse 1U01 will open in such conditions.
Role of Other Components
•The capacitors 2U06 and 2U10 are filtering the ripple
current generated by the commutation of power MOS-FET
7U04 (about 700 mA_rms, while the capacitor 2U08 is
filtering the output voltage.
•Coil 5U02 and capacitor 2U15 prevent that noise
generated by the switching will disturb other circuits
supplied from +11V.
•Coils 5U05 and 5U06 and capacitors 2U23 and 2U31 are
supplementary filtering of the output voltage for the two
load circuits (PIP and Feature Box).
•Beads 5U03 and 5U04 damp oscillations during the
switching of the power MOS-FETs.
•Components 2U01, 2U02, and 6U02 are not present (the
voltage “+3V3-ILINK” is not used).
EN 135EM6E9.
Service Tips
•When a power MOS-FET is found defective, replace the
other power MOS-FET, the fuse 1U01, and the diode 6U06
as well.
•When a driver transistor (7U01, 7U02, 7U08, or 7U09) is
found defective, replace the complementary transistor as
well (example: replace also 7U08 if 7U02 is defective).
•For a normal operation of the converter, it is important to
check the switching frequency, the value of the boost
voltage, and the amplitude of the gate voltage of transistor
7U04 (it should be close to the boost voltage).

Start up sequence:
1. After the power is applied, the "Standby supply" starts
oscillating, generating the +5V2, V_tun and +11V. A reset
(POR) is generated and the OTC is awakened.
2. Next step is the check whether the set needs to be in
"Standby" mode or not. Therefore, the NVM content is read
and the Standby-bit is checked. If the set is to stay in
Standby, there is no further action.
3. If the set switches "on", first the degaussing will be
activated (for 12 seconds).
4. Meanwhile the MSP is reset, and the Standby line is pulled
low, leading to a full semi standby mode (+5V2 and +8V
switched on). Mute sound amplifiers.
5. The OTC waits until the +5V and the +8V are fully present
(checking the AD-input of the OTC does this). The +5V,
+8V, and I2C protection-algorithms are activated.

Page 89
Circuit Descriptions, Abbreviation List, and IC Data Sheets
Note: The "Tuner & IF" parts for the main picture and the DW/
PIP picture are comparable.
The tuner/splitter is I2C controlled, and is capable of receiving
off-air and cable channels.
Also, the tuning is done via I2C. The reference voltage on pin
9 is 33 V. This voltage (+33V) is derived from the secondary
side of the standby supply (V_TUN), via D6110 and R3116//
R3115 and a 33 V zener diode. The OTC, together with the
HIP, controls the tuning procedure. There is also automatic
switching for the different video systems.
The IF-filter is integrated in a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave)
filter. The type of this filter depends on the received
standard(s). There are two SAW filters: one for filtering pictureIF and a second one for sound-IF.
The output of the tuner is controlled via an IF-amplifier with
AGC-control. This is a voltage feedback from pin 62 of the HIP
to pin 1 of the tuner. AGC take-over point is adjusted via the
service alignment mode "Tuner AGC". If there is too much
noise in the picture, it is possible that the AGC setting is wrong.
It is also possible that the AGC-setting is misaligned, if the
picture deforms with a perfect signal. Then the IF-circuit is
amplifying too much.
The video IF-signal is fed to pins 2/3 of the PLL-controlled IFdemodulator. The voltage-controlled oscillator of the PLL is
adjusted via the service menu "IF AFC". If the alignment is
correct, the displayed frequency in the installation menu is the
same as the applied frequency from a generator. The external
coil L5408 (or L5P08 for the DW/PIP circuitry), connected
between pins 7/8, is used as reference.
The demodulated IF-video signal is available at pin 10 of the
HIP. In this video signal, there is a rest of the sound carrier,
which is filtered out by the sound trap 1407 (or 1P09 for DW/
PIP).
Then the signal is fed again to the HIP on pin 12, where the
group delay is corrected, dependent on the standard that is
received.
The CVBS-signal is available at pin 13 for further processing in
the set. Via TS7322, the signal is supplied to EXT1 (SCART pin
19, CVBS out) and again back into the HIP (pin 14) to the
source/record selection.
To achieve Quasi Split Sound (QSS), the IF-signal is fed to the
HIP on pin 63/64 via SAW-filter 1409 (or 1P04 for DW/PIP).
The FM-modulated signal is available on pin 5 and is fed to the
audio demodulator (item 7A02).
9.6.2Video: DW/PIP (diagram B15)
Introduction
The Double Window (DW) panel provides the option for the
viewer to see two (or more) pictures / programs on the
displayed area of a TV screen. The displayed pictures can be
in PIP mode or DW mode. The viewer can also select the size
and position of the "second" picture.
New DW/PIP features with respect to 2002:
•Making use of HIP instead of BOCMA.
•Provisions to use 2D Comb filter for the sub-picture.
•New modes by making use of FBX (e.g. Multi-PIP 12, Multi-
PIP 9, Multi-PIP 8 surround).
•Photo finish in correct order by making use of FBX.
IF and Video section
The "IF and video" processing in the DW module is performed
by a HIP IC, same as for the main picture.
Processing
The MUPPET IC (SAB9081, item 7PA6) is a multi-standard
PIP controller, which can be used in Double Window or PIP
applications.
The main picture YUV is fed to pins 98, 2, and 100, while the
sub picture YUV is fed to pins 83, 79, and 81.
These signals are mainly used during the DW mode. In PIP
mode, the signals are inserted into the main picture with
reduced size.
Inside the MUPPET, the conversion to the digital environment
is done with ADCs. Processing and storage (1 MB DRAM) of
the video data is done entirely in the digital domain. The
conversion back to the analogue domain is done by DACs.
Internal clocks are generated by PLLs, which lock on to the
applied horizontal and vertical syncs from the main and sub
pictures. The main picture syncs are applied to pin 70 (V) and
pin 94 (H) and the sub picture syncs are applied to pin 72 (V)
and pin 87 (H).
For DW mode, the main picture is compressed horizontally by
a factor of two and fed directly to the output. After compression,
a horizontal expansion of two is possible for the main picture.
The sub picture is also compressed horizontally by a factor of
two but stored in memory before it is fed to the outputs.

Figure 9-8 DW/PIP operation
[A] In normal mode (no DW or PIP), the YUV_MAIN signal is
connected to switch 7P54, which is directly connected to the
FBX (the switch is not activated).
[B] In case of DW, both signals, main YUV signal and sub YUV
are added in de Muppet and via switch 7P54 routed to the FBX.
In DW mode the switch is forced to send the signal from the
Muppet (and not the main YUV). This to avoid that in squeezed
mode instead of the black bars a part of the main signal should
be visible.
[C] In case of PIP, the YUV_MAIN signal is connected to the
switch (will be the "main" picture). Via the switch, the signal is
connected to the FBX.
At the moment the PIP-info has to be written into the main
picture, the switch is connected to the YUV-muppet signal
(contents = YUV-sub signal). The switching is controlled by the
FBL signal from pin 68 of the MUPPET, and the switching time
determines the size and the place of the PIP picture.
Service Tips
•When something is wrong in the Muppet, and the FBL
signal is "high" (example internal short circuit), then it is not
possible to force the main path signal by software.
However, you can do it manually by connecting the
command line (pin 5) of switch IC7P54 to ground.
•When an error is communicated from the Muppet IC (no
I2C communication), the H_sync and V_sync from main
HIP must be checked (pin 94 or pin 70 of the Muppet IC).
When there is no H- or V_sync, the I2C communication is
interrupted.

9.7.2 Audio: IF Demodulation
At the input of the MSP, a choice can be made between two IFsignals: SIF1 and SIF2.
The selected signal is then fed to an AGC. After this, an ADC
converts the IF-signal to digital.
Two demodulation channels can process this digital signal. The
first one is able to handle FM and NICAM signals. The second
one can handle FM and AM signals.
After the down-mix, the signal is fed, via a filter, to a
discriminator. From here the AM, FM or NICAM demodulation
can be performed.

which automatically mutes the output of the analogue section

Micronas MAS 3528E
The MAS 3528E receives S/PDIF or serial data streams, and
decodes the Dolby Digital (AC-3), MPEG or PCM-encoded
audio formats.
Due to the automatic format detection, no controller interaction
is needed for the standard operation. On the other hand, the
controller has full access to all vital information contained in the
Dolby Digital bit stream.
The choice of different output formats, as defined by Dolby,
guarantees good adaptation to various listening environments.
The hardware of the MAS 3528E consists of a high
performance RISC Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and
appropriate interfaces.
The MAS 3528E is driven by a single clock at a frequency of
18.432 MHz. The clock is provided from an external source
(SYS-CLK1 from the DPL 4519G) to pin XTI.
9.7.4Audio: Amplifier
The audio amplifier is an integrated "class-D" power amplifier
IC, the TDA7490. It delivers an output of 2 x 15 W_rms to two
full range speakers. For the higher specified sets, a subwoofer
and centre speaker are easy to implement, by adding a second
amplifier. This circuit is described in the EM5 manual.
9.7.5Audio: Headphone Amplifier
The headphone amplifier is a straightforward OpAmp amplifier
(ICA07-A, MC33178D). It is supplied with +11V_AUD.

9.8.1Introduction
The Micronas Dolby Digital System
The Micronas Dolby Digital system solution consists of three
dedicated integrated circuits:
•The MSP 44x0G is the interface for all TV-sound and
analogue input signals. It performs the TV-audio
demodulation including analogue stereo, NICAM, and
Wegener Panda decompression. It has four pairs of audio
D/A-converters, two of them including sound control
facilities, and one additional subwoofer D/A converter.
•The DPL 4519G adds the Dolby Surround Sound features
and has three pairs of audio D/A-converters, two of them
including sound control facilities, and one additional
subwoofer D/A converter.
•The MAS 3528E performs the Dolby Digital or MPEG
decoding and has additional functions that are necessary
for the Dolby Digital system.
While the MSP 44x0G is a stand-alone TV-sound solution, the
combination with a DPL 4519G results in a high-end TV with
Dolby Pro Logic functionality. With the addition of the MAS
3528E, the TV provides full Dolby Digital/MPEG-1 capabilities.
Micronas DPL 4519G
The DPL 4519G receives its incoming data via an I2S interface.
The synchronisation is performed by means of an adaptive
high-quality sample rate converter.
In an application together with the Dolby Digital decoder MAS
3528E, eight channels (left, right, surround left, surround right,
centre, subwoofer, Pro Logic encoded left, Pro Logic encoded
right) are fed in and processed in the DPL 4519G.
Similar to the multichannel I2S input interface, the DPL is
provided with an 8-channel I2S output interface, which is
connected to the MSP 44x0G. Therefore, all eight channels
can be routed to each output in both ICs.
The base band processing including e.g. balance, bass, treble,
and loudness is performed at a fixed sample rate of 48 kHz.
With the Wireless Surround Loudspeaker System, it is possible
to connect rear speakers wireless with the main set. The
system consists of:
•Transmitter part (TX): a transmitter board (click-on
module).
•Receiver part (RX): a receiver board, an amplifier board,
and a power supply part.
•Loudspeaker boxes for Left and Right rear.
The wireless system is intended for stereo sound in the range
from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
It can be used for normal L/R stereo sound or for the surround
channels in Dolby systems.
The system has an analogue sound processing system
(compressing - expanding) and uses synthesised tuning at
both the transmitter and receiver side. There are frequency
executions available in different frequency bands:
•433 MHz (some EU countries).
•864 MHz (EU).
In each particular frequency band, there is a choice between
four different channels or frequencies.
System Considerations
The Wireless system uses a very high performance audio
processing that allows up to 100 dB dynamic range to be
transmitted over a classic analogue link, through the
compressing effect at the transmitter (reducing the dynamic
range by a factor of 2 in dB) and the expanding effect in the
receiver (increasing the dynamic range by a factor of 2 in dB).
In addition, the system has the possibility to maintain the high
S/N up to low RX field strengths by applying sliding stereo (this
means reducing the stereo effect at low signal field strengths).
Pre-emphasis (at TX) / de-emphasis (at RX) technique is
with15 us time constance.
Since the signal processing is analogue, there is a low latency
in the system of < 15 us between input TX and output RX.
The receiver part has a power save mode that will be initiated
automatically when no signal to reduce power consumption.
Page 92
EN 140EM6E9.
The system uses normal FM modulation/demodulation and
also uses the Zenith stereo system. However, the frequencies
used are different in this respect: the sub carrier frequency= 3
* 15.625 kHz = 46.875 kHz (chosen because interference zerobeats with the TV line freq). Consequently, the pilot frequency
is 23.4375 kHz (half of sub carrier).

Audio Compander
The audio compressor uses a SA572 (7112), which is intended
for high-end applications. It is used together with a low noise
OpAmp (7113). There is no audio input filtering ahead of the
compressor. Therefore, it can only be used when the source is
having no frequency components above 20 kHz, otherwise the
compander's linearity will be at risk. This is realised with a
digital filter on the SSP.
Graphically the operation of a "compressing and expanding"
(=companding) system can be understood from following

Circuit Descriptions, Abbreviation List, and IC Data Sheets
The basic compander configuration is given above. From the
diagram, one can understand the factor of two of companding
as follows:
There is a variable gain cell (variable resistor) in the feedback
loop of an OpAmp (NJM4565M) that is controlled by the
rectifier cell that detects the output voltage of the OpAmp and
translates it into a current send to the gain cell. The rectifier has
an attack time constant (C3) and a decay time constant (C4),
which is optimised to give the best auditive result.
If the input (Vin) rises with e.g. 4 times then the output can rise
only 2 times. This is because the feedback resistor formed by
the gain cell is decreased with a factor of two.
Remember that for an OpAmp Vout= Vin*((Rf+R1)/R1), where
R1 is constant (Rf= R2+internal gain cell resistance).
The Pre-Emphasis, Stereo Encoding, and Output Filtering
The two channels that are available from the compander are
now having pre-emphasis with a time constant of 12 µs. Too
much time constant would give problems with the voltage rising
too high at maximum modulation frequency, and hence
occupied bandwidth of the modulated signal. The preemphasis consists of a simple RC circuit. The stereo encoder
7111C is in fact just an electronic switch, which is driven by the
sub carrier frequency. With this operation, the frequency
spectrum at the output of the switch is as follows in the
frequency domain:

Figure 9-18 Block diagram TSA5060A
The TSA5060A is software controlled by the I2C bus
(commands are send directly via the TV slow I2C bus).
To verify whether there is communication between the host
device and the TSA5060A, one can check the supply voltage
of the oscillator transistor 7103 (TP F113). This should be
about 7.5 V in normal conditions when the I2C signal is
interpreted by the synthesiser. If there is improper
communication, the voltage remains at 0 V.
There is version recognition foreseen to discriminate between
433 or 864 MHz units. This feature will automatically load the
correct frequency division words into the synthesiser at starting
up and initialisation of the TV set.
The reference quartz crystal is 4 MHz, which is divided to a
lower reference frequency of 25 or 50 kHz (depending on the
version).
The PLL filter is passive and includes 2103, 2104, and 3107.
The transistor 7102 is part of the PLL current source, and
allows connection to higher supply voltages as +5 V.

The TSA5060A has some output ports:
•Port P3 (Vosc), used to switch the local oscillator (LO).
•Port P2 (Vpil), used to switch the pilot.
•Port P1, used to switch the power amplifier (PA).
The local oscillator (LO) is a common base transistor (7103)
that is oscillating at half the output frequency. The frequency is
tuned by varicap 6102, until the tuning voltage is in the range
of the loop filter (between 1 and 6 Vdc). If the voltage is outside
this range, then possibly the division ratio is chosen outside the
normal range, or some frequency dependant component
around the transistor is faulty.

The LO signal is multiplied by two in a separate stage (7105) in
order to get a high isolation between the local oscillator and the
antenna. There is quite some filtering necessary at the output,
necessary to prevent the oscillator frequency and its harmonics
from reaching the power amplifier (PA) stage.
There is also a 2-stage band stop filter followed by an elliptic
low pass filter. This has to do with the legal requirements for
spurious radiation.
The PA stage with 7106 increases the power level to about +15
dBm at the output of the filter. The transistor is polarised into
class A for minimum harmonic content and furthermore there is
output filtering available to further reduce the harmonics. The
configuration differs with the frequency version.
The 864 MHz version uses an integrated antenna on the board.
The printed dipole is driven symmetrically by a balun for
optimum power transfer and symmetry. There are protection
diodes (6110 & 6111) foreseen but not stuffed for ESD when
applying an external antenna (the 433 MHz version uses an
external antenna).
Power Supply and Power Down
The board is having a low drop voltage regulator 7117, which
has an output voltage of 8.3 Vdc. The 5 V supply is extracted
via transistor 7119.
The "power down detection" is done via 6105 and 7118: when
the voltage drops, transistor 7118 comes out of saturation
rapidly, thereby putting the stereo coder in Hi-Z position (idle).
No AF output will be there from the stereo coder.
Suitable timing signals for the sub carrier and pilot frequency
are extracted out of a 12 MHz crystal by division with 256 and
512 respectively. The whole chip 7110 can be enabled /
disabled via the synthesiser port P2 (Vpil, "low"= enable). The
outputs are square wave 5 V compatible.
The multiplex output from the stereo coder is fed into a limiter
amplifier 7116B, which sets a limit to the output voltage. In case
the audio input signals increase towards 1.3 V, the signal will
be flat-topped and limited symmetrically. This of course
introduces distortion, but is necessary in order to observe the
bandwidth limitations as set by legal standards. The baseemitter junctions of 7120 and 7121 form the limits.
This output signal is then summed with the pilot signal, which
is injected just as a plain square wave. The amplifier 7116A
forms a second order low pass filter that cuts at about 90 kHz.
This reduces the harmonics present in the composite output
signal. This signal is actually fed via trimpotmeter 3179 towards
the varicap in order to achieve FM modulation. Trimpotmeter
3179 is aligned for a deviation of 50 kHz. There are three ways
to align the trimpotmeter:
•Use a FM modulation analyser meter such as FAM
(Rohde und Schwartz) or similar.
•Put the RF output on a spectrum analyser and connect
both audio inputs together at 0.41 V/400Hz at the inputs of
the TX. There are two peaks visible on the screen. Align
until the difference between the -3dB peaks is 2 * 50 kHz
or 100 kHz.
•Use an accompanying receiver and while modulating both
inputs of the TX, align until the measured audio output of
the RX is 1.3 Vrms.

Figure 9-22 LNA and mixer circuit
The LNA is a cascode configuration around transistor 7601.
This circuit provides gain with a low noise figure, while
providing isolation from the oscillator to antenna. This isolation
is necessary to comply with the legal requirements for radiated
interference.
The output of the LNA and the LO signal is mixed in transistor
7602. This is a one transistor mixer that provides high
conversion gain with low LO input signal. This level is only
around 20 mV. The reason for this high conversion gain is that
there is a 10.7 MHz trap at the base (5605 - 2610).
The output of the mixer is a tuned circuit at 10.7 MHz. The coil
is pre-aligned at the factory.

The TSA5060A is software controlled via the I2C bus by the
PIC12C508 microcontroller.
There is no hardware version recognition foreseen but the
version can be read out from the PIC12C508 microcontroller.
There is a different software code for the 433, 864, or 914 MHz
version.
The reference quartz crystal is 4 MHz and is divided to a lower
reference frequency of 200 kHz or 100 kHz (depending on the
version). The PLL filter is passive and includes 2625, 2626,
3615, 3611, and 2612. The transistor 7604 is part of the PLL
current source, and allows connection to higher supply
voltages as +5V.
The local oscillator (LO) is a common base transistor (7603)
that is oscillating at the fundamental frequency. The frequency
is tuned by the varicap 6601 until the tuning voltage is in the
range of the loop filter (between 0.5 and 7 Vdc). If the voltage
is outside this range then possibly, the division ratio is chosen
outside the normal range or some frequency dependant
component around the transistor is faulty.

The IF signal is demodulated in the 7710 (LA1836M), the IF
Radio IC. This IC has a coil FM detector that is aligned (for
alignment instructions see chapter "Electrical Alignments").
The stereo decoder is integrated and needs no adjustment.
The demodulated signal is filtered with 1730/1740. These filters
are pre-aligned and are reducing the pilot- and sub carrier
frequency. This is necessary to prevent wrong operation of the

Figure 9-28 Expander circuit
The audio expander uses device SA572 (7770) that is intended
for high-end applications. It is used together with a low noise
OpAmp (7780).
There is an expanding factor of 2 in dB. There is a variable gain
cell (variable resistor) in the negative input of the OpAmp 7780
(NJM4565M). There is a rectifier cell that detects the input
voltage and translates into a current send to the gain cell .The
rectifier has an attack time constant and a decay time constant,
which is optimised to give the best auditive result.
If the input (Vin) rises with e.g. 2 times then the output will rise
4 times. This is because the negative input resistor formed by
the gain cell is decreased with a factor of two.
Remember that for an OpAmp Vout = Vin*((Rf+Rin)/Rin) where
Rf is constant (Rin= internal gain cell resistance).

Frequency setting: This is necessary when the 4-position slide
switch is changed. In an internal look-up table, the four required
frequencies for the local oscillator are stored. The output
towards the synthesiser chip in the front-end is in I2C form. The
synthesizer is the only device on the bus. During frequency
setting the "mute" is active.
Scanning of the channel switch occurs within every 250
milliseconds (in any mode).
When "tuned" is going "high" in normal mode, the channel data
should be transmitted to the synthesizer to protect the receiver
in case of hang-up situations.

Muting: The "mute" of the receiver is controlled by the IF
receiver part, but can be overridden by the microcontroller.
The "mute" action initiated by the microcontroller is necessary
during channel switching and in the standby mode. Muting has
priority on all other main tasks. The hardware mute is the result
of an "AND" function between the “Tuned” and “Stereo”
information. The "tuned" information can be read by the
microcontroller on pin 2. The same pin has to be put in output
mode to activate the microcontroller initiated "mute". This
"mute" must be used during the frequency setting and during
the standby mode.
Power save mode: The main supply can be switched off with
the “power save” control line to reduce the current
consumption. The microcontroller is always powered by the
power supply. All other electronics can be put into power save
mode.
After approx. 10 minutes of no "Tuned" signal the receiver goes
into power save mode. Once in power save mode, the receiver
is operated in “listen-sleep” mode to reduce the average
current consumption.
Power Supply
The board is having a low drop voltage regulator 7790, which
has an output voltage of 8 Vdc.
The 5 Vdc supply for the micro controller is extracted from the
10 Vdc input supply via a zenerdiode 6751. The 5 Vdc supply
of the synthesizer is extracted from transistor 7606. The
POWERSAVE signal is also provided to the connector for the
amplifier.
pulls the mute line down to nearly 0 V. In this condition, the
amplifier is completely in "standby" mode, while all DCreferences are disabled. The LED red will be "on", while green
is "off".
When the receiver detects a valid signal from the TV set, the
POWERSAVE line becomes continuously "low", and after a
small time (2137, 3133, 7104) 7104 is turned "off". At the same
moment, the mute line becomes "low" and the amplifier is
enabled again.
Amplifier considerations
The 26 dB amplifier TDA1564TH operates on 13 Vdc and can
deliver 2 x 15 Watts into 4 ohm loads. The dissipation is
minimized by internally switching in the TDA1564 from Single
Ended (SE) to Bridge Tied Load (BTL) mode, only when a
higher output voltage swing is needed.
Input signals from the receiver (or the 3.5 mm stereo jack) input
are filtered in the two-section high pass filter around 7100-B
and 7100-A. This is needed because the flat panel speakers
cannot reproduce low frequency sound. The -3 dB point is
somewhere around 150 Hz.
Input sensitivity of the amplifier for maximum output:
•Wireless use (signals coming from the receiver board):
typical 1.4 Vrms
•Wired use (signals coming from the 3.5 mm jack input):
typical 2.5 Vrms

9.9.1 Introduction
Amplifier (Diagram W)
General
The amplifier module delivers 2 x 15 Watt into 4 ohm speakers.
There is an incorporated high-pass filter because of the use of
soft-flat panels as speaker. The speakers are connected
through 2.5 mm mono-jacks. The crossover will be around 150
Hz. The amplifier uses a “cool power” amplifier IC
(TDA1564TH).
The module is featured with an additional “wired backup” input
(3.5mm stereo-jack) and a 2-colour LED indicator. Green
indicates the active state, red is standby. There is also an onboard 10 Vdc regulator, specially intended for the TX receiver.
DC-references and Supply
The reference voltage used in the preamp-filter is made of the
internal reference of the amplifier chip TDA1564TH. This
reference is buffered by 7100-D and present on pin 14 of 7100D. The reference is only valid when the chip is active or muted.
The power supply for the pre-amp is made by using the filter
circuitry 3100, 2101, and 2100. This supply is 10.6 Vdc for all
operating conditions.
The built-in voltage regulator LM317MDT delivers 10 Vdc for
the receiver board. The 10 Vdc is set by 3141 and 3142. This
is the normal operating condition by wireless use of the whole
set.
This 10 Vdc supply can be switched "off" by connecting a 3.5
mm plug into the "wired backup" input. By doing so, the base of
7103 is connected to ground, 7111 is saturated, and pin 1 of
7110 is on ground level. The result is 1.25 Vdc on the supply
line to the receiver.
Mute Circuitry
In normal operating circumstances, the voltage on the MODE
pin of the amplifier will be 9.7 Vdc. Transistors 7104 and 7107
are not saturated at that moment. When the receiver generates
a ”mute” (4 Vdc on pin 6 of connector 1106), then 7107 will
saturate and pulls down the level on pin 2-7101 to 2.3 Vdc. All
DC-references stay as they were, the LED stays green, but no
sound is produced on the outputs.
When the receiver goes into "power save" mode (when 10
minutes no signal from the TV set), the circuitry around 7104
In this chassis, you can upgrade the software via ComPair.
This offers the possibility, to replace the entire SW image
without having to remove the flash-RAM from its socket. You
can find more information on how this procedure works in the
ComPair file. It is possible that not all sets are equipped with
the hardware, needed to make software upgrading possible. To
speed up the programming process, the firmware of the
ComPair interface can be upgraded. See Chapter Service
Modes, Error Codes and Faultfinding paragraph "ComPair" “How To Order” for the order number.
9.9.2 Specifications
Some specifications are:
•The upgrade feature makes use of I2C to transfer a new
SW image (4 MB).
•It requires the ComPair interface Box (RS232 to I2C).
•The I2C bus is available at the rear side of the set, BUT it
is still necessary to open the set to place a dedicated
jumper. This, to avoid FCR (Field Call Rates).
•It uses a ZIP-compressed BIN software image to speed up
the transfer process (1/2 size).
•The complete procedure takes less than 20 minutes with
an upgraded ComPair interface:
– About 90 seconds to erase a 4 MB flash-RAM.
– Less than 10 minutes to transfer the file (max 1.9 MB).
– About 5 minutes to decompress/program the flash-
RAM
Note: It takes about 85 minutes with a standard interface.
Constraints:
•Needs the EPG flash memory, so this device must be
placed also for non-EPG regions like AP and US.
•The new SW image must ALWAYS contain the bootstrap
code (see below).
Advantages:
•Flexibility.
•No change in IROM required (IROM not used).
•Flexibility to change of code flash manufacturer as the
"flash driver" is part of the bootstrap code (part of the main
software image).
