Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes
2.Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes
2.1Safety instructions for repairs
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
•Due to the EM2E concept, a very large part of this chassis
(incl. Hor. & Vert. deflection) is 'hot'. Therefore the set must
be connected to the mains via an isolating transformer.
•Safety components, indicated by the symbol h, should be
replaced by components identical to the original ones.
•When replacing the CRT, safety goggles must be worn.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, the set must be
returned in its original condition. In particular attention should
be paid to the following points:
•General repair instruction: as a strict precaution, we advise
you to resolder the solder joints, through which the
horizontal deflection current is flowing, in particular:
– All pins of the line output transformer (LOT);
– Fly-back capacitor(s);
– S-correction capacitor(s);
– Line output transistor;
– Pins of the connector with wires to the deflection coil;
– Other components through which the deflection current
flows.
Note: This resoldering is advised to prevent bad connections
due to metal fatigue in solder joints and is therefore only
necessary for television sets older than 2 years.
•The wire trees and EHT cable should be routed correctly
and fixed with the mounted cable clamps.
•The insulation of the mains lead should be checked for
external damage.
•The mains lead strain relief should be checked for its
function in order to avoid touching the CRT, hot
components or heat sinks.
•The electrical DC resistance between the mains plug and
the secondary side should be checked (only for sets which
have a mains isolated power supply). This check can be
done as follows:
– Unplug the mains cord and connect a wire between the
two pins of the mains plug;
– Set the mains switch to the 'ON' position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!);
– Measure the resistance value between the pins of the
mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner or the
aerial connection on the set. The reading should be
between 4.5 MΩ and 12 MΩ.
– Switch off the TV and remove the wire between the two
pins of the mains plug.
•The cabinet should be checked for defects to avoid
touching of any inner parts by the customer.
2.2Maintenance instructions
It is recommended to have a maintenance inspection carried
out by a qualified service employee. The interval depends on
the usage conditions:
•When the set is used under normal circumstances, for
example in a living room, the recommended interval is 3 to
5 years.
•When the set is used in circumstances with higher dust,
grease or moisture levels, for example in a kitchen, the
recommended interval is 1 year.
•The maintenance inspection contains the following actions:
– Execute the above-mentioned 'general repair
instruction'.
– Clean the power supply and deflection circuitry on the
chassis.
– Clean the picture tube panel and the neck of the picture
tube.
2.3Warnings
•In order to prevent damage to IC's and transistors, all highvoltage flashovers must be avoided. In order to prevent
damage to the picture tube, the method shown in Fig. 2-1
should be used to discharge the picture tube. Use a highvoltage probe and a multimeter (position VDC). Discharge
until the meter reading is 0 V (after approx. 30 s).
•w All IC's and many other semiconductors are susceptible
to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling
during repair can reduce life drastically. When repairing,
make sure that you are connected with the same potential
as the mass of the set by a wristband with resistance. Keep
components and tools also at this same potential.
•Together with the deflection unit and any multipole unit, the
used flat square picture tubes form an integrated unit. The
deflection and the multipole units are set optimally at the
factory. Adjustment of this unit during repair is therefore not
recommended.
•Be careful during measurements in the high-voltage
section and on the picture tube.
•Never replace modules or other components while the unit
is switched ON.
•When making settings, use plastic rather than metal tools.
This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a
circuit becoming unstable.
•Wear safety goggles during replacement of the picture
tube.
2.4Notes
•The direct voltages and oscillograms should be measured
with regard to the tuner earth (H) or hot earth (I).
•The direct voltages and oscillograms shown in the
diagrams are indicative and should be measured in the
Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a colour bar
signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated
otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz.
•Where necessary, the oscillograms and direct voltages are
measured with (D) and without (E) aerial signal.
Voltages in the power supply section are measured both
for normal operation (G) and in Standby (F). These values
are indicated by means of the appropriate symbols.
•The picture tube PWB has printed spark gaps. Each spark
gap is connected between an electrode of the picture tube
and the Aquadag coating.
•The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in
the parts lists are completely interchangeable per position
with the semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type
indication on these semiconductors.

their programme schedule of today.These pages can be requested by switching
the TV to Teletext Guide.
An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme
guide service called
NEX
TV
IEW
.
NEX
TV
IEW
is a new way of presenting
programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext.
With

Both facilities are offering the same functions: record, remind and info.
However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible if these
functions are possible.
You can search for the programmes you want to watch up to 7 days in
advance. It is also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g.sport,
movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind
you, or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video
recorder is equipped with
NEX

information about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.
The broadcaster is responsible for the contents of the information.

Teletext
Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext.
Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on
how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main
index (usually p. 100).
Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems.
The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour keys of your
remote control.
About Easy Text
Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that the
teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at least half a
minute) by :
• a direct selection of previous and following pages which are in transmission
and of the pages referred to in the options line
• a habit watcher list: frequently used pages are put automatically in a list of
preferred pages, so that they are immediately available
• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page
• the precapturing of all the subpages.
Switch Teletext on and off
Press b to switch the teletext on or off.
The main index page appears on the screen together with two information
lines at the top and one option line at the bottom of the screen.

characters used in your language, press the X key repeatedly to select Language
group 1 or 2.
Select a Teletext page
With the digit keys
Enter the desired page number with the digit keys.

teletext circuitry.
•F1F-F2F-F3F, etc.: Test points for the CRT-panel circuitry.
•SC1-SC2-SC3, etc: Test points for the SCAVEM circuitry.
The numbering is done in a for diagnostics logical sequence;
always start diagnosing within a functional block in the
sequence of the relevant test points for that functional block.
5.2Service modes and ComPair
5.2.1Service Default Mode (SDM)
The purpose of the SDM is to provide a situation with
predefined settings to get the same measurement results as
given in this manual.
Specification of the SDM:
•Tuning frequency 475.25 MHz.
•TV-system for BGLM sets set to BG.
•All picture settings at 50 % (brightness, colour, contrast,
hue).
•All sound settings at 50 % except volume at 25 % (so bass,
treble, balance at 50 %, volume at 25 %).
•All service-unfriendly modes are disabled (like sleep timer,
child lock, blue mute, AVL and SDLP).
Entering the SDM can be done in 4 ways:
•Via a standard RC-handset by entering the code '062596'
followed by the 'MENU' button (it is possible that, together
with the SDM, the main menu will appear. To switch it off,
push the 'MENU' button again).
•Via ComPair.
•By the 'DEFAULT' button on the DST while the set is in the
normal operation mode.
•By short-circuiting for a moment the two solder-pads with
the indication 'SDM' (item 4006) on the A-side of the SSB
(activation can be performed in all modes except when the
set has a problem with the main-processor).
Note: If the SDM is entered via the pins, all the softwarecontrolled protections are de-activated.
Exiting the SDM can only be done via the STANDBY
command. By switching off-on the set with the mains switch the
set will come up again in the SDM.
5.2.2Service Alignment Mode (SAM)
The purpose of the SAM is to align the set and/or adjust the
settings.
Specification of the SAM:
•Software alignments (see chapter 8).
•Option settings (see chapter 8).
•Error buffer reading and erasing. The most recent error
code is displayed on the left side.
•Operation counter.
•Software version.
Entering the SAM can be done in 4 ways:
•Via a standard RC-handset by entering the code '062596'
followed by the 'OSD' button [i +] (it is possible that, due to
the button sequence, the channel will change to channel 9.
To return to the channel of your selection, push the
appropriate button on the RC).
•Via ComPair.
•By the 'ALIGN' button on the DST while the set is in the
normal operation mode (or SDM). Enter the password
'3140' and press OK.
•By short-circuiting for a moment the two solder-pads with
the indication 'SAM' (item 4005) on the A-side of the SSB
(activation can be performed in all modes except when the
set has a problem with the main-processor).
Note: If the SAM is entered via the pins, all the software
controlled protections are de-activated.
The Service Alignment Mode menu will now appear on the
screen. The following information is displayed:
•Date: the software date.
•ID: the software version of the ROM (Example:
EM2E11.0_01501. This software-code stands for EM2E
(chassis), E = Europe, 1 = language, 1.0 = software
version, xxxxx = latest 5 digits of 12nc code software).
•Operation Hours: the accumulated total of operation hours.
•Errors: followed by maximal 10 errors. The most recent
error is displayed at the upper left. For explanation errors
see (table 5.1).
•Defect. Module: here the module that generates the error
is displayed. If there are multiple errors in the buffer that
have not all been generated by a single module, there is
probably another defect. The message 'Unknown' will then
be displayed here.
•Reset Error Buffer: pressing the 'OK' key can reset the
error buffer.
•Functional Test: all devices are tested via the 'OK' key.
Eventual errors are displayed in the error buffer. The error
buffer is not erased, the content returns when the
Functional Test is terminated.
•Alignments: this enables the Alignments sub-menu to be
called up.
•Dealer Options: extra features for dealers.
Exiting the SAM can be done via the 'MENU' command or via
switching OFF-ON the set with the mains switch.
5.2.3Customer Service Mode (CSM)
All EM2E sets are equipped with the 'Customer Service Mode'
(CSM). This 'Customer Service Mode' is a special service
Page 20

5.4ComPair
5.4.1 Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the DST service remote control allowing faster
and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair has three big
advantages:
•ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding how to
repair the EM2E in short time by guiding you step by step
through the repair procedures.
•ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I
is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas.
You do not have to know anything about I
yourself; ComPair takes care of this.
•ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automatically communicate with the EM2E (when the micro
processor is working) and all repair information is directly
available. When ComPair is installed together with the
SearchMan EM2E electronic manual, schematics and
PWB's are only a mouse-click away.
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding 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. In case of the EM2E chassis, the ComPair
interface box and the television communicate with each other
via a bi-directional service cable.

C commands
television. These commands are translated by the controller to
2
C commands and vice versa. In this way it is possible for
I
ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the I
2
busses of the EM2E.
Manual information gathering
Automatic diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of
the television is working correctly and only to a certain extend.
When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through the
fault finding tree by asking you questions and showing you
examples. You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g. text or an
oscillogram) that will bring you to the next step in the
faultfinding process.
A question could be: Does the screen give a picture? (Click on
the correct answer) YES / NO
An example can be: Measure test point I7 and click on the
correct oscillogram you see on the oscilloscope
Figure 5-4
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.
Additional features
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional
features like:
•Uploading/downloading of pre-sets
•Managing of pre-set lists
•Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool

The ComPair fault finding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in 2 ways:
1. Communication to the television (automatic)
2. Asking questions to you (manually)
ComPair combines this information with the repair information
in its database to find out how to repair the EM2E.
Automatic information gathering
Reading out the error buffer, ComPair can automatically read
out the contents of the entire error buffer.
Diagnosis on I

C level. ComPair can access the I2C bus of the
television without a physical connection. ComPair can send
and receive infrared commands to the micro controller of the
5.4.2SearchMan (electronic service manual)
When ComPair is installed in combination with SearchMan, all
schematics and PWB's will be directly available while you
repair a television if you click on a PWB or schematic link.
Example: Measure the DC voltage on C2568 (PWB/schematic)
on the small signal level.
Clicking on PWB will automatically pop-up a picture of the PWB
with the location of C2568 marked. Clicking on schematic will
automatically pop-up the schematic with the location of C2568
marked.

5.4.3Stepwise Start-up / Shutdown feature of set can be used
via ComPair
Under normal circumstances, a fault in the power supply or an
error during start-up will switch the television to protectionmode. ComPair can take over the initialisation of the television.
In this way it is possible to distinguish which part of the start-up
routine (hence which circuitry) is causing the problem.
Stepwise start-up explanation
Via ComPair the stepwise start-up can be realised. This is very
helpful when a protection is activated (see also chapter 5.6).
Note: When set is in stepwise-mode and due to stepping-up a
protection is activated, the set really will go into protection
(blinking red led). The set will not leave the stepwise-mode
however. By stepping up the set can be activated again, until
state X, where protection was activated. At state (X-1)
diagnostic measurements can be performed.

5.5Error codes
5.5.1 Reading error codes from the error buffer
The error buffer can be read in 3 ways:
1. On the screen via the Service Alignment Mode (SAM). In
case picture is OK, the error buffer can be read easiest via
the SAM. In the main menu of the SAM the last 10 different
error codes occurred are displayed. The most recent
detected error code is displayed on the left side, so e.g.:
– 0 0 0 0 0 means no error codes present in the buffer
– 3 0 0 0 0 means one error code present in the buffer;
error code 3
– 2 3 0 0 0 means two error codes present in the buffer;
error code 2 is the most recent, error code 3 is detected
before 2.
2. Via the blinking LED procedure. The contents of the error
buffer can also be made visible through the “blinking LED”
procedure. This is especially useful when there is no
picture. There are two methods:
– When the SDM is entered, the LED will blink the
number of times, equal to the value of the last (newest)
error code (repeatedly).
– Via the 'DIAGNOSE' key of the DST. If an error has
been detected by the EM2E chassis, the set might go
into protection. Without the presence of a picture, the
errors can be displayed via the red LED on command
of the DST, as long as the main-processor is still active.
To display the errors via the red LED by the DST:
1. Press the 'DIAGNOSE' key (in all modes except
the SAM).
2. Press '1' to view the last error detected (or '2', etc.
to show the errors before).
3. Press the 'OK' key. The blinking Red LED on the
TV will now give the requested error.
After entering SDM: blink 1x long (750 ms for tens)
- pause (1.5 s) - blink 8 x short (250 ms for units) etc.
After transmitting 'DIAGNOSE-2-OK' with the DST:
blink 9 x short - pause (250 ms) - blink 9 x short etc.
After transmitting 'DIAGNOSE-3-OK' with the DST:
blink 5 x short - pause (250 ms) - blink 5 x - etc.
After transmitting 'DIAGNOSE-4-OK' with the DST:
nothing happens
3. Via ComPair.
5.5.2 Clearing the error buffer
The error buffer can be cleared in 3 ways:
1. In the SAM by selecting the item 'RESET ERROR
BUFFER' in the main menu.
2. By the 'DIAGNOSE 99' command of the DST (in all modes
except the SAM). Press the DIAGNOSE key on the DST,
followed by 9, 9 and then 'OK'.
3. Via ComPair.
Note: When error buffer is full (10 codes), no new error can be
stored anymore. However of every error raised is monitored
how long it exists in the error buffer. When for any reason a
false raised error exists in the buffer, it will be deleted after 50
hours. If this error is still present after 50 hours, it will be raised
again. In this way it is safeguarded that the error codes history
is stored. Sometimes it is an option to first write down the error
buffer content, reset the buffer, and look again which error
codes are generated by the set.

5.6Protections
5.6.1General
The EM2E has only one micro-processor (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. So 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 will be put in the protection-mode. The
protection-mode is indicated by blinking of the red LED at a
frequency of 3 Hz. In some error cases the micro processor
does not put the set in the protection-mode. The error codes of
the error buffer can be read via the service-menu (SAM), the
blinking LED procedure or via DST/ComPair. The DST
diagnose functionality will force the set into the Servicestandby, which is alike the usual Standby, however the microprocessor has to remain in normal operation completely.
To get a quick diagnosis the EM2E has 3 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 and with the help of test
patterns.
Both SDM & SAM modes can be entered via the 'service pads'
on the SSB, via a RC (DST or standard RC) or via ComPair.
The SAM can not be entered in Standby, the set has to be in
normal operation.
The EM2E 'Protection Diagram' shows the structure of the
protection system. See diagram below.
Figure 5-5
There are several types of protections:
2
C related protections
•I
•OTC related protections (via polling on I/O pins or via
algorithms).
•HOP related protections (mainly for deflection items).
•Hardware errors which are not sensed by the OTC (e.g.
BRIDGE_PROT)

protection will take place if the SDA and SCL are whether short
circuited to ground or to each other. An I
occur, if the power supply of the IC is missing (e.g.
TUNER_PROT (error 12) & FBX_PROT (error 16)).
OTC related protections
If a protection is detected at an input of the OTC, all protection
inputs of the OTC will be scanned every 200 msec. for 5 times.
If the protection on one of the inputs is still activated after 1
sec., then the set will be put in the protection-mode. Before the
scanning is started a so-called ESD-refresh will be carried out
first, because the interrupt on one of the inputs may be caused
either by a FLASH or by ESD. As a FLASH or ESD can harm
the settings of some IC's, the HOP-HIP-MSP-PICNIC-NVM
and Tuner are initialised again to ensure the normal picture and
sound conditions of the set.
•8.6 V and 5.2 V protection. The presence of the 8.6 V and
5.2 V is sensed by the OTC. If these voltages are not
present, then an error code is stored in the error buffer of
the NVM, and the set is put in the protection-mode.
HOP related protections
Every 200 msec. the status register of the HOP is read by the
OTC via I
inputs of the HOP, then the relevant error bit in the HOP
register is set to ‘high’. If the error bit is still ‘high’ after 1 sec.,
the OTC will store the error code in the error buffer (NVM) and
depending on the relevancy of the error bit the set will either go
into the protection-mode or not.
•HFB: Horizontal Flyback. If the horizontal flyback is not

C. If a protection signal is detected on one of the

is stored in the error buffer and the set will go into the
protection mode
a flash will stop the H-drive and line output stage
immediately. The FLS-bit in the status register of the HOP
is set to ‘high’. As the duration of a flash is very short the
FLS-bit will be reset to ‘low’ again after the flash refresh, so
via a slow start the set will be started again.

Hardware related protections
Due to the architecture (with 'hot' deflection) there are two
protections that are 'unknown' to the microprocessor, namely
the 'BRIDGE_PROT' from the line-stage and the 'NO_VFB'
protection form the frame-stage. If one of these protections is
triggered, the set is positioned in ‘Standby’-mode. The OTC will
now try to re-start the set. If this will not succeed after 5 times
(after ≈ 1 minute), the OTC will generate error 15 (Flash
protection) and will start the blinking red LED.

The start-up of the set is very different as of other sets:
1. When the set is switched ‘ON’, first the HOP is placed in
'low power start-up' mode (HOP-standby-mode). This
means that 5 V (derived from available Standby-supply) is
connected to pin 22 of the HOP-IC.
2. Now the HOP is driving the line-circuitry with 50 kHz
pulses. At the base of the line-transistor this is sensed via
the 'STANDBY’-line.
3. This signal triggers the Main supply to operate. Now the
line-stage has 'BAT'-voltage (141 V), it will also start.
4. After the 5 and 8 V-supply lines are sensed by the OTC, it
will read the POR-bit from the HOP via the I
5. Now the HOP is switched in ‘ON’-mode and the set will
start-up further with normal drive (31.25 kHz for PAL).
6. The last step will be the unblanking of the picture.
SO STANDBY IS NOT CONTROLLED VIA A STANDBY-LINE
FROM MICROPROCESSOR, BUT IS ACHIEVED
INDIRECTLY VIA THE HOP-CIRCUITRY.
Notice that a very big part of the set (Large Signal Panel) is
'hot', meaning the primary part of the Standby supply, the
whole Main supply (except for the secondary Audio supply) and
the complete deflection circuit. SO NOTICE THAT THE
DEFLECTION-COIL IS HOT!
This set does not have an IR transmitting-LED anymore. In its
place, a Service (ComPair) connector is implemented at the
rear of the set, which is directly accessible. In addition to this,
there is a blinking LED procedure to show the contents of the
error buffer.
The relay you hear during switching 'ON' (via the main switch)
is from the degaussing-circuitry. So it is not used for switching
the supply as in the MG-chassis.
When using ComPair (connect cable to ComPair-connector at
the rear of the set, placed behind a separate cover), there
exists the possibility to have a stepwise start-up procedure.
With this mode one can startup the set step-by-step. This also
means that in certain steps some protections will not be
activated. This can sometimes be convenient during repair.
See table in 5.4.3, which is describing the stepwise start-up
mode with belonging LED behaviour.

On the SSB there are 'service pads' implemented to activate
(via bridging) the SDM- or SAM-mode (see chapter 4). When
the SDM-mode is activated, the processor-controlled
protections (so not the Hardware and HOP-protections) can be
overruled. This means that the ADC-input protections (5- and 8
V) and the I
2
C not-acknowledging info from Tuner and FBX can
be overruled.
WHEN DOING SO THE SERVICE-ENGINEER MUST KNOW

•Take care not to touch ‘hot’ heatsink while disconnecting
SSB, despite the fact that mains cord is out of mains
socket. There still is an annoying rest-voltage for a short
while.
•Do not try to measure on side of SSB directed to the hot
heatsink. This is dangerous. All service test points are
guided to the Tuner side and are pointed out by service
printing. Where the circuitry was too crowded to place this
service-printing it has been explained on the Test point

Electrical alignments
8.Electrical alignments
GB 71EM2E8.
8.1General alignment conditions
All electrical alignments should be made under the following
conditions:
•Power supply voltage: 230 V ± 10 %; 50 - 60 Hz ± 5 %.
Should be applied via an isolating transformer with low
internal resistance.
•Warm-up time ≈ 20 minutes.
•Voltages and oscillograms are measured in relation to
Tuner earth (with exception to the voltages on the primary
side of the power supply). Never use the cooling fins/plates
as ground: they are 'hot' ! ! !
•Test probe: Ri > 10 MΩ, Ci < 20 pF.
•Use an isolated trimmer/screwdriver for the alignments
8.2Alignments on the large signal panel (LSP)
Large Signal panel (LSP)
Elucidation: In the frame blanking period of the R, G and B
signals applied to the CRT, a measuring pulse with different DC
levels is inserted by the 'HOP' video processor. Measure the
black level pulse during the vertical flyback at the RGB
cathodes of the CRT.
1. Put the set in the SDM mode (see chapter 5.2.1).
2. Insert a black test-pattern signal (carrier 475.25 MHz) to
the Tuner input.
3. Connect an oscilloscope (position 50 V/Div DC and 2 ms/
Div) alternately to the CRT cathodes (Red pin 8, Green pin
6, Blue pin 11) and measure for each cathode the DC level
of the measuring pulse (see elucidation above and figure 8-
2) and write down each value. Remark: Trigger the scope
external via a CVBS signal (for instance via pin 19 of the
SCART1 connection).
4. Adjust the Vg2 potentiometer (lower potmeter, see figure 8-
1) so that the measuring pulse with the highest noted level
is on 160 ± 3 V

8.5Alignments and settings in the Service
Alignment Menu
8.5.1General
Put the set in the SAM mode (see chapter 5.2.2). The Service
Alignment Mode menu will now appear on the screen. Via
'Alignments' the following submenu's can be selected:
•General:
– Drive
– Luminance Delays
– EHT Compensation
– Soft clipper
– Luma gain
– IF AFC
– Tuner AGC
– Blend intensity
– Adjust Peak White Limiter
– Vg2 Test Pattern
•Normal Geometry: General geometry alignments.
•Super Wide Geometry: Geometry alignments for the
'Panorama' position in 16:9 sets (only valid for wide screen
sets; alignments can be performed, however, it is better to
set values as mentioned below).
•Options: Setting the initialisation codes in the set via text.
•Option Numbers: All options together, expressed in two
long numbers. The original factory setting for these
numbers can be found on the picture tube sticker on the
inside of the set.
•Store: Store all alignments.

Electrical alignments
The alignments are explained now in the sequence of the submenu:
8.5.2'General' alignments in Service Alignment Menu:
•Once all alignments/settings have been completed the item
'Store’ must be selected to record all the values in the
permanent memory of the set.
•If the Option codes have been changed and stored, the set
has to be switched 'OFF' and 'ON' using the mains switch
to activate the new settings (when switching via Standby,
the option code settings are NOT read by the
microprocessor).
•If an empty EAROM (permanent memory) is detected, all
settings are set to pre-programmed default values.
•A built-in test pattern can be called up in various submenus. The test pattern generator can be switched on
using the item 'Test pattern on/off'. The test pattern only
appears AFTER the specific alignment has been selected.
The test patterns are generated by the Teletext-IC (OTC).
'Drive'
•Method 1 (with colour analyser):
1. If you want to align tint-settings with a colour-analyser,
the Test pattern must be switched on. You get a white
block in middle of the image now.
2. Before doing the Tint-settings the 'Cathode'-parameter
must be aligned. This is dependent of the picture tube
size and brand. See table “Cathode parameter” for the
colour-analyser readings.
3. Tint-settings: Set the white levels for the 3 Tint-settings
'Normal', 'Warm' and 'Cool'. The next values must be
aligned (see table “White levels”).
1. Without having a colour-analyser one can set some
parameters. This is the next best solution. The settingparameters are average values coming from
production (statistics).
2. Before doing the Tint-settings the 'Cathode'-parameter
must be set. For all picture tubes the value '5' must be
entered.
3. The ‘Tint’ setting must be on ‘normal’.
4. Tint-settings: Set the Red, Green and Blue parameters
for the 3 Tint-settings 'Normal', 'Warm' and 'Cool'. See
table 8.4 for the values.
5. Red BL offset: herewith the Black Level can be aligned
very precise. Pre-set value is 7.
6. Green BL offset: herewith the Black Level can be
aligned very precise. Pre-set value is 7.

‘Luminance delays’
With the 'Luminance delays' alignment the luminance
information is placed on the chrominance information
(brightness is pushed onto the colour). Use a colour bar/grey
scale pattern as test signal.
•Lum. Delay Pal: Apply a PAL colour bar/grey scale pattern
as a test signal. Adjust ‘Lum. Delay Pal’ until the transients
of the colour part and black and white part of the test
pattern are at the same position.
•Lum. Delay Secam: Apply a SECAM colour bar/grey scale
pattern as a test signal. Adjust ‘Lum. Delay Pal’ until the
transients of the colour part and black and white part of the
test pattern are at the same position.
•Lum. Delay Bypass: apply a NTSC colour bar/greyscale
pattern as a test signal. Adjust value until the transients of
the colour and black & white part of the test area are at the
same position.
‘EHT compensation’
Fixed setting: 0
‘Soft clipper”
Fixed setting:Pwl + 0%
‘Luma gain’
Fixed setting:1
‘IF AFC’
The SAM-mode is needed to make alignment, a test generator
to make signal and the Installation-menu to check the 'Fine
Tune' value.
Supply, via a video generator (e.g. PM5518), a TV-signal with
a signal-strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 475.25
MHz. Use BG if possible, otherwise match the system of your
generator with the received signal in the set.
Alignment procedure:
1. Go to the 'Installation' menu.
2. Select 'Manual installation'.
3. Tune the TV-set to the system and frequency described
above via 'Search' - '475' - 'OK'.
4. If the frequency showed in the line 'Fine tune' is between
475.18 MHz and 475.31 MHz, you don't need to re-adjust
the IF-AFC.
5. If not, adjust the frequency in the 'Fine tune' line to 475.25
MHz and 'Store' the program (this is very important
because this will disable the AFC algorythm).
6. Now go to the SAM and select 'Alignments' - 'General' - 'IF
AFC'.
7. During the 'IF AFC'-parameter adjustment, one can see
OSD feedback in the top of the screen. The OSD feedback
can give 4 kind of messages:
AFC-windowAFC-frequency versus reference
OutHigh
InHigh
InLow
OutLow
The first item (In or Out) informs you whether you are in or out
the AFC-window.
The second item (High or Low) informs you about whether the
AFC-frequency is too high or too low.
1. First you must align the 'IF AFC'-parameter such that you
come into the AFC-window (= 'In')
2. Then you must look for the point where the 'IF AFC'parameter changes from High to Low. This level is the
value you are looking for.
3. After adjustment 'Store' the value.
4. Now return to the 'Installation' menu.
5. Select 'Manual Installation' - 'Search' - '475' - 'OK' and
'Store'. This will set the AFC 'on' again.

Service-tip: If you do not trust the accuracy of the frequency of
your Service-generator, first 'measure' with 'Fine tune'-line
(manual install-menu) of a good set your video generator.
‘Tuner AGC’
The SAM-mode is needed to make alignment, a test generator
to make signal, a DC-Voltmeter to measure at pin 1 of Tuner.
Supply a TV-signal, with a frequency of 475.25 MHz and a
signal-strength of about 2 mV. Measure the DC-voltage on pin
1 of the Tuner (position 1200). With the ‘Tuner AGC’-alignment
in the SAM-menu, this voltage can be aligned. Alignment is
correct when DC-voltage is just below 3.5 V.
'Blend intensity'
(This alignment could be used when micro controller or HOPIC has been replaced).
It aligns the level of transparency of the menu-picture blended
into the main-picture.
1. Position the brightness-, contrast- and colour setting in the
middle position (picture-menu).
2. Apply a signal with a 100 % white video-pattern.
3. Connect an oscilloscope to pin 7 of connector 0340 of the
CRT panel and measure the Red output level.
4. Align 'blending intensity'-parameter such that the blended
signal is 65 % of the black-white amplitude. Practically this
will be about 1.3 V (blended signal) versus 2 V (full white
signal).
5. The parameter can be adjusted in between 0 and 31.
'Horizontal amplitude and centring'
Use an external pattern generator with a geometry pattern (e.g.
crosshatch).
1. Using 'H. amplitude' align the horizontal amplitude so that
the entire test pattern is visible.
2. Use an external test signal, with a centre-reference from a
service-generator. Use 'H shift' to align the picture
horizontally in the middle.
3. Repeat the 'H amplitude' alignment if necessary.
'East/west alignment'
Use an external pattern generator with a geometry pattern (e.g.
crosshatch).
8.5.3'Normal Geometry' alignments in the Service Alignment
'Adjust Peak White Limiter'
Depending on the picture-tube size, the next value of the table
must be entered:
Warning: At this moment, the 'INTERNAL TEST PATTERN' of
the set software will lead to a mis-alignment of the picture
geometry. Therefor use an external generator with a geometry
pattern (e.g. crosshatch) to align the set (only for the 'Vertical
slope' adjustment the internal test pattern can be used).
'Vertical slope'
Select 'Test Pattern on' (read warning above).
1. Set the start conditions for 16:9 sets: 'V. S-correction' value
on 8 for the 28” and on 7 for the 32” set. The boundarystripes of the test pattern should be positioned on the edge
of the picture tube.
2. Align ‘V. slope’ (when aligning the below half of the picture
is blanked). The middle line of the test pattern must be
matched with the edge of this blanking/picture transient in
the middle of the picture. Pushing 'MENU' button again,
gives you previous menu again. (This alignment is meant
to align the zero crossing of the frame-deflection to the
mechanical middle of the picture tube.)
Figure 8-3
1. Use 'East/West Parabola' to align the vertical lines until
straight.
2. 'Upper East/West corner' to align the vertical lines in the
upper corners until straight.
3. 'Lower East/West corner' to align the vertical lines in the
lower corners until straight.
4. Use ‘East/West Trapezium’ to align for a rectangular.
5. Use 'Horizontal Parallelogram’ to align for straight vertical
lines if necessary.
6. Horizontal Bow' (neutral value 31. With this alignment the
E/W parabola can be corrected such that it becomes
symmetrical).
Repeat steps 1 to 6 if necessary.
8.5.4'Super wide geometry' alignments (for widescreen sets) in
the Service Alignment Menu
The header of this paragraph and also the menu’s are
somewhat misleading. We only need to set the following values
(if the normal geometry alignment has been performed
correctly):
1. V. S-Correction: enter value of 'normal geometry'
alignment.
2. H. amplitude: enter value of 'normal geometry' alignment
subtracted by 4.
3. East/west Parabola: enter value of 'normal geometry'

8.6.3Dealer Options in the Service Alignment Mode
•After the option(s) have been changed, they must be
stored via the 'STORE' command.
•The new option is only active after the TV is switched off
and then back on again using the mains switch (the
EAROM is then read out again).
8.6.4Option number
In case the EAROM has to be replaced, all the options will also
require resetting. To be certain that the factory settings are
reproduced exactly, both option numbers have to be set. These
numbers can be found on a sticker on the picture tube.
Example: Option number 34PW9815 could be:
04929 04418 04417 00016

9.1.1 Introduction
The EM2E Europe is a lower specified MG-chassis. EM stands
for Eco-MG, 2 for the used processor (1 = Painter, 2 = OTC)
and E stands for Europe. This will be, at the moment of launch,
the cheapest realised 100 Hz set.
The architecture consist of a conventional large signal panel
(LSP) and a small signal board (SSB) module, placed into a so
called SIMM-connector (Standard Interface, 80 pins).
The LSP is built up very conventional, with hardly any surface
mounted components on the copper side. Difference with the
MG-chassis is that the EM2E LSP has a very large 'hot' part,
including the deflection coil.
The SSB is a high tech module (2 sides reflow technology, full
SMC) with very high component density and complete
shielding for EMC-reasons. Despite this, it is designed in such
a way, that repair on component level will be possible. To
achieve this, attention has been paid to:
•The position of service test lands (Tuner side).
•Accessibility (Tuner side).
•Clearance around surface mounted IC's (for replacing).
•Diagnostics & Fault Finding via ComPair.
Due to the low amount of cabling etc., expectation is that the
FCR will be low.
Attention: During the first 4 to 6 months of production, the
EM2E set-software will be integrated into a flash-RAM on the
SSB. After that period, a mask-ROM will be used. Which IC is
used is not of interest for service, but for both solutions it means
that Service Workshops must be equipped with dedicated
(de)solder equipment for exchanging these IC's.
In case flash-RAM or mask-ROM has to be replaced in the
field, dealer will receive always an up-to-date flash-RAM.
Warning: Be aware that half of the LSP-circuitry is 'hot',
including the deflection coil.
Protection: The start-up behaviour of the EM2E is different then
that of the MG-chassis, meaning that there does not exist a
situation as in the MG where we have 'supply ON / deflection
circuit OFF'.
This means that isolating failures in the EM2E must be done in
a different way. See Chapter 5 of this manual.

The tuner type UV1316 is a PLL tuner and delivers the IFsignal, via audio & video SAW-filters, to the HIP (High-end
Input Processor). The HIP has the following functions:
•IF modulation.
•Video source- and record select.
•Colour decoder.
•Synchronisation.
Two SCART-connectors can be used: SCART1 is fully
equipped and SCART2 is meant for VCR. Pin 10 of SCART2 is
used for Easylink and there is a possibility for Y/C in. The
CVBS-out on pin 19 can be used for WYSIWYR (What You See
Is What You Record).
The HIP delivers the signal to the PICNIC. This IC takes care
of:
•Analogue to Digital conversion and vice versa.
•50 to 100 Hz conversion.
•Panorama mode.
•Noise reduction.
•Dynamic contrast.
For Digital Scan the PROZONIC is required, which can be
connected to the PICNIC. This IC is mentioned as 2fH features
in the blockdiagram.
After the PICNIC the, now 100 Hz, YUV- and H/V-signals are
fed to the HOP (High-end Output Processor). This IC handles
the video control and geometry part. The RGB-signals from
TXT/OSD are also inserted via the HOP. The video part
delivers the RGB signals to the CRT-panel and the geometry
part delivers the H-drive, V-drive and also a drive-signal for
rotation (as a variable DC-level on the V-drive signal).
Figure 9-1
Both deflection circuits are 'hot' and located on the LSP and are
driven by the HOP. To make the galvanic separation, the line
drive is driven via transformer 5410 and the framedrive via
optocoupler 7610.The horizontal output stage generates some
supply voltages, the EHT-, focus- and Vg2-voltages.
The RGB amplifiers on the CRT-panel are integrated in one IC
and are supplied with 180 V from the LOT.
The 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 MSP34xx (Multichannel
Sound Processor) for IF sound detection, sound control and
source selection. Dolby decoding is also done by the MSP.
Amplification is done via an integrated power amplifier IC, the
TDA2616.
The microprocessor, called OTC (OSD, Teletext and Control),
takes care of the analogue TXT input- and output processing.
The OTC, ROM and RAM are supplied with 3.3 V, which is
derived from the +5VSTANDBY.
The NVM (Non Volatile Memory) is used to store the settings,
the FLASH RAM contains the set software and the DRAM is
used for storing the Teletext pages.
In EM2E 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 is used to switch
the Degaussing circuit.

principle, generates the 141 V (V

The mains filter has 2 functions: it prevents high-frequency
signals to be transferred into the mains and it protects the set
from lightning damage.
C2507 prevents the high-frequency signals, generated by the
set, to be conveyed into the mains by short-circuiting them.
In case of a lightning surge between the 2 phases (differential
mode) the energy is immediately bled away through the VDR
(R3509) to the other phase.
In case of a lightning surge on both phases of the mains in
relation to the aerial earth, the mains filter acts as a high
resistance (U
=L * dI/dt) as a result of which the voltage
EMK
across coil L5503/04 increases. A spark gap (0001) prevents
that the voltage increases too much, which would lead to a
damaged coil. When ignited, the current will be discharged via
this spark gap.
The two networks using R3503//0002 and R3502//0003 are
also used for lightning protection. They lead the energy of a
common-mode lightning surge from the 'cold' to the 'hot' side in
case of insertion on the aerial or from the 'hot' to the 'cold' side
in case of insertion via the mains-input.
Resistor R3500 is used for limiting the inrush-current.
For 240 V
mains-voltage applications, jumper 9502 is used.
AC
Diodes 6501 to 6504 now work as bridge rectifier charging
C2510. For 110 V
9502, jumpers 9503 and 9504 are used. Now the diodes will
mains-voltage applications, i.s.o. jumper
AC
work as a voltage doubler charging C2516 and C2517 (not
implemented for Europe).

Degaussing picture tube (diagram A1)
After switching 'ON' the set via the mains-switch, the
DEGAUSS_INPUT signal from the processor (OTC) will be
made high, transistor 7528 will conduct and relay 1002 will be
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
will switch off the relay after 12 seconds.
Standby power supply (diagram A2)
This power supply is of a SOPS type (Self-Oscillating Power
Supply) and is regulated by the controlled switching of an
oscillator. It uses the so-called 'Flyback' principle:

To apply this on the EM2E (diagram A2): replace Switch 'S' by
FET TS7102, coil L by L5101, diode D by D6107//D6111 and C
by C2104.
Time interval t0 - t1:
After switching on the set, the gate of MOSFET TS7102 will be
high (max. 15 V due to zenerdiode D6105). This will drive the
FET into saturation (U
= 0 V). The DC-voltage U
DS
MAINS
will be
transposed across the primary winding of L5101 (3, 5) resulting
in a linear increasing current through this coil.
The voltage across the co-coupled coil (1, 2) is also positive
and will keep the FET into conductivity via C2101, R3103,
R3102 and R3117 for some time. The slope of the primary
current is determined by the self-induction of the coil and on the
magnitude of the supply voltage (+375 V).
The maximum current is determined by the time the FET stays
into conductance (t0 - t1). This time is directly determined by
the voltage across R3108//R3118. This voltage is a measure of
the current and if it exceeds 1.4 V, TS7101 will be driven into
conductivity and consequently connect the gate of TS7102 to
earth; the FET will block. The current will be: 1.4 V / (15//4.7
ohm) = 0.39 A.
The voltage across the secondary winding (8,9) will be
negative, diodes D6111 and D6107 will block.
Time interval t1 - t2:
The sudden current interruption in the primary coil, will induce
a counter-e.m.f. that wants to maintain the current. The voltage
on the drain of the FET will increase. The secondary voltage (8,
9) will become positive and will charge C2104 via D6107 and
D6111. All energy that was stored in L5101 during t0 - t1 will be
transferred into the load. Due to the transformer principle, a
voltage will now be induced in the primary winding (3, 5) and
the co-coupled winding (1, 2). This voltage will be: N * U
SEC
(N
= winding ratio).
Figure 9-4
7103/04
CL 96532156_021.eps
The voltage across the co-coupled coil will be negative,
keeping the FET blocked.
Time t2:
At t2, the current through the secondary coil will be reduced to
zero, as C2104 is no longer charged. As a consequence, the
voltages will decay and will change polarity. The gate of the
FET will be again made positive, is driven into conductivity and
the cycle starts again.
Feedback, stabilisation:
The Standby Power Supply always oscillates at maximum
power, the only limiting factor is the maximum primary current
which has been pre-set with R3108//3118.

U

If the voltage across R3114 exceeds the threshold voltage of
the diode of the optocoupler 7104 (±1 V) or, in other words,
exceeds 5.2 V, the transistor of the optocoupler will
U
OUT
conduct.
Transistor TS7100 will be driven and a negative voltage will be
transposed to the emitter of TS7101. When TS7101 conducts,
the gate of the FET is at earth potential forcing the oscillator
stop. Due to the load, the secondary voltage U
OUT
decrease. At a certain voltage, optocoupler TS7103/04 will
block and the oscillator will start again.
Since there are no capacitors and there is a high amplificationfactor in the feedback circuit, the feedback is ultra-fast. This is
why the ripple on U
is minimal. The negative supply voltage
OUT
(-20 V) used in the feedback circuit originates from the cocoupling coil and is rectified through D6103.
Stabilisation is not effected through duty-cycle control but
through burst-mode of TS7100.
Burst-mode is load dependent. If the power supply is less
loaded, the secondary voltage will have the tendency to
increase more rapidly. If the load on the power supply
250100
will

Circuit descriptions and abbreviation list
increases, then the oscillator stops less often, right up to the
moment that the oscillator is operating continuously: maximum
load. If the power supply is now loaded even more, the output
voltage will decay. The maximum load is determined by the
maximum primary current set by R3108//3118.
Protection:
If the optocoupler would fail, the secondary voltage will
increase. This would have disastrous consequences since
many IC's (e.g. OTC, flash-RAM, DRAM) are fed with this 5.2
V. In other words, very expensive repairs would be required.
We already know that the negative supply is directly dependent
upon the secondary 5.2 V, as a consequence of which the
negative supply will increase proportionally as the secondary
voltage increases.
If the negative supply in the mean time reaches -30 V, D6106
will start to zener and as a consequence TS7101 will start
conducting. Basically, D6106 will take over the stabilisation
task of the optocoupler, however, with a considerable spread:
from -20 V to -30 V is a 50 % increase, thus U
will increase
OUT
from 5.2 V to max. 7.5 V.

The FET will be driven into saturation (same as closing switch
'S' ). The drain-current will increase linear in time. With other
words: resistors R3513 and R3518 will start the oscillator.
The voltage across the co-coupled coil (4, 5) is also positive
and will keep the FET into conductivity.
The drain-current will also flow through R3514//R3515. The
voltage on the base of TS7502 will be +0.8 V due to the
stabilisation circuit (which is explained further). At increasing
current, the emitter-voltage of TS7502 will get more negative.
When this voltage reaches -0.7 V, TS7502 will be driven into
conductivity and consequently connect the gate of TS7504 to
earth; the FET will block (same as opening switch 'S'). The
maximum drain-current is: 0.7 V / (R3514//R3515) = 1.4 A.
The voltage polarities on L5506 will invert, keeping the gate of
TS7504 negative via the co-coupled coil (4, 5). The voltage on
the secondary winding of L5506 (7, 8) will be positive,
generating the +28 V audio supply voltage via D6507 and
C2512.
The sudden current interruption in the primary coil, will induce
a counter-e.m.f. that wants to maintain the current via the
'freewheel' diode D6508. This current is linear decreasing in
time and as it is also flowing through R3414//R3415, TS7502
will be blocked after a certain time period. The gate of the FET
will be again made positive, is driven into conductivity and the
cycle starts again.

Set to 'STANDBY" (via RC):
When the set is switched to 'STANDBY' via the Remote
Control, the Main supply will be switched off.
This is done by the circuit around TS7529 (see diagram A1):
During 'ON'-state the Main supply is fed with line pulses via the
STANDBY line. They are rectified and smoothed via D6517,
D6516 and C2530 and fed to TS7529. Because they are less
than -20 V, this transistor will be blocked.
When these pulses are stopped (STANDBY), TS7529 will be
saturated and TS7502 will be switched off. This will switch off
the Main supply.
Set to 'ON' (via 'STANDBY'):
At the moment the set is switched 'ON', the HOP is not working
(as much as possible IC's are made voltageless during
'STANDBY'). Therefore it is impossible that the STANDBY line
carries line-pulses, so the main supply cannot start up. This
problem is solved via the 'low power start-up' possibility of the
HOP.
Via pin 22, the HOP receives, via the STANDBY_INFO line
from the OTC, a voltage of 5.2 V coming from the Standby
supply. The result will be that the HOP will generate pulses with
a nominal T
and TON growing from 0 to 30 % of the nominal
OFF
value.
This signal is unchanged until the Main supply is switched 'ON'
and the HOP the correct I
2
C-command POR-bit) has received.
Guarding circuit:
The negative pulses on the secondary winding of L5506 are
rectified by D6520 and smoothed by C2535. The resulting
negative DC-voltage will keep TS7510 blocked, even as
TS7511.
When something happens in the Main supply through which
these pulses will decrease, the DC-voltage will increase.
TS7510 starts to conduct, even as TS7511. Via R3541 and
D6522 this situation will be maintained (thyristor principle). The
collector of TS7511 drives via R3538 a positive pulse back to
the OTC (named STANDBY(POR)). The OTC will now switch
off the Main supply via the STANDBY_INFO signal.
SSB
There are 5 different voltages located on the SSB: +33 V, +11D
V, +8 V, +5.2 V and +5 V.
+5.2 V is the Standby voltage, it should always be present. The
8 V is derived from the 11D V with stabiliser 7906. The 11D
voltage is only present when the line-drive pulses start the
deflection.
The 8 V is used to switch the +5.2 V with transistor 7905 to
supply the +5 V.

OTC
The SAA5801 (IC7001) is called the OTC (OSD, TXT and
Control). In this IC, the microprocessor and the TXT-decoder
(level 2.5) are integrated.
Some of its functions are:
•Set control.
•TXT/OSD acquisition.
•RGB-outputs to the HOP
•Menu blending; for blending the contrast is software
controlled.
•I/O-ports for I
2
C, RC5, LED, and service modes.
•Error code generation.
The software for EM2E can be 2 MB (Megabyte).
For TXT-data 1000 pages can be stored in IC7007. This is a
DRAM of 4 Mbit and this IC is also used to store data of a
working set.
The Non Volatile Memory IC7011 is a 4 kB version
M24C32W6.
All ICs in this part are supplied with 3V3. For this voltage a 3V3
stabiliser is used (IC7005).
When the 3.3 V is available, a POR is generated with TS7003/
7004 to wake up the OTC. During the reset all I/O pins are high.
When a POR is generated the TV-set is in Standby mode.

Via pins 105 and 106 the 8 V and the 5 V are sensed. If one of
them is not present, the Main supply is switched off (set in
protection and the red LED will blink at 3 Hz). The OTC will
generate an error code to indicate what was wrong.
The horizontal (HD100) and vertical (VSYNC) sync pulses are
also fed to the OTC for stable OSD and TXT.
The RGB-outputs (77/78/79) together with fading (pin 80) are
fed to the HOP. The fading pin has a double function: it is used
for making a transparent menu and as fast-blanking signal for
TXT.

C-busses

In the EM2E-chassis with OTC-processor there are two I
busses used:
•Slow (max. 100 kHz) hardware I
for all IC communication.
•Separate short bus (called I

C-bus (called I2C1), used

C3) for the Non Volatile
Memory (NVM) to avoid data corruption.
NVM
The Non Volatile Memory contains all set related data that must
be kept permanently, such as:
•Software identification.
•Operational hours.
•Error-codes.
•Option codes.
•All factory alignments.
•Last Status items for the customer + a complete factory
recall.
•Txt featuring (keeping habit watch data).
•EPG data.
9.1.5Tuner & IF (diagram A7 & B2)
2
The tuner UV1316 is I
C-controlled and is capable of receiving
off-air, S- (cable) and Hyperband channels:
•Low44 - 156 MHz
•Mid156 - 441 MHz
•High141 - 865 MHz
The tuning is done via I
2
C. The reference voltage on pin 9 is 33
V. This voltage is derived from the 180 V (from the LOT) via a
resistor of 120 kΩ and a zenerdiode. The OTC together with the
HIP control 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 is depending of the standard(s) that
has to be received. Two SAW filters are used: One for filtering
picture-IF and the second-one for sound-IF. An extra filter
(5403), tuned at 40.4 MHz, is necessary for L/L’ sets with 6.5
MHz sound to suppress the neighbour channel.
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, then it could be that the AGC setting is wrong.
The AGC-setting could also be mis-aligned if the picture
deforms with perfect signal. The IF-amplifier amplifies 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 then the displayed frequency in the installation menu is
the same as the applied frequency from a generator. The
external coil L5408 connected between pins 7/8 is used as
reference. The demodulated IF-video signal is available at pin
2
C-

10 of the HIP. In this video signal there is a rest of sound
carrier, which is filtered by the sound trap 1407.
Then the signal is again fed to the HIP on pin 12 where the
group delay can be corrected, dependent on the standard that
is received. On pin 13 the CVBS-signal becomes available
which is used for further processing in the television. Via
TS7322 the signal is supplied to EXT1 and back into the HIP
on pin 14 to the source/record selection.
To realise quasi split sound the IF-signal is fed to the HIP on
pin 63/64 via SAW-filter 1405. The FM (or AM for L-norm) modulated signal is available on pin 5 and is fed to the audio
demodulator MSP34xx.
Outputs: Three separate switchable outputs can be used:
•1 YUV-output is fed to the PICNIC
•2 CVBS outputs: One for Teletext Dual Screen and the
other for output to EXT2 to have WYSIWYR (What you see
is what you record)
I/O-switching: The external signals are fed directly to the I/O
part of the HIP with status from pin 8 of SCART. On the HIP
there are two status inputs available (pins 15, 17) with two
voltage levels:
•4:3 -> 2.2 V
•16:9 -> 5.5 V
The input signals from the Front I/O are fed to the HIP and front
detection is also fed to the OTC.
EXT1 is full SCART: thus CVBS and RGB. The RGB-selection
is done in the HIP.
EXT2 is meant for VCR and has therefore some additional
signals in relation to EXT1 but no RGB. EXT2 has also the
possibility for Y/C_in and Easylink-Plus (P50). Y_in is with pin
20 and Chroma in with pin 15. Easylink is handled via pin 10
of the SCART and this is a bi-directional communication.
Easylink supports the next features:
•Signal quality and aspect ratio matching
•One touch play
•One touch text
•PIP
•Pre-set download
•WYSIWYR
•Automatic Standby
With Easylink-Plus is added:
•Country and language installation
•System Standby
•Intelligent set top box features
•NexTView download
•Timer record control
•VCR control feature
Video processing
The sandcastle-pulse of the HIP will not be used for
synchronisation. The HOP will generate synchronisation signal
derived from the feature box (PICNIC) signals. If a VCR is
connected, there is also an automatic correction for
Macrovision. This is active for the external sources and the presets 0, 90-99.
The HIP itself (no external voltage) controls the Y/C switch in
the HIP.
The chrominance decoder in the HIP is full multistandard: PAL/
SECAM/NTSC.
Two different crystals can be connected to the pins 54 & 57
without any alignment. The crystals are also used as a
reference for the synchronisation. A digital control circuit that is
locked to the reference signal of the colour decoder determines
the start-up of the sync. This crystal may only be replaced by
the original one. If just a crystal is taken, the internal
capacitance will be different and the effect will be that there is
no colour.
In the HIP a sync separation has been integrated; the HIP
delivers the HA and VA 50Hz/60Hz to the PICNIC. On pin 59
there is the 1fH sandcastle but this is not connected to any
circuit and only used internally for the colour demodulator. The
2fH-sandcastle signal is generated by the HOP.
9.1.7Video: Feature box (PICNIC, diagram B3))
Introduction
The basic function of the Feature box (FBX6) is picture
improvement, and depending on the version, several scan
conversion methods can be applied. The PICNIC (SAA4978H)
is the central key component.
In the EM2E-chassis the featurebox is integrated on the SSB.
The PICNIC is used for the 100Hz conversion. In the PICNIC
the following functions are present:
•The ADC.
•The DAC.
•The 100 Hz conversion.
•The Panorama mode.
•The noise limiter (DNR).
•The contrast improvement.
All these functions are integrated in one IC: SAA4978H, 160
pins QFP
ADC/DAC
Analogue to Digital conversion is done with three identical 9-bit
ADC's.
Digital to Analogue conversion uses three identical 10-bit
DAC's.
In the PICNIC there are three 9 bits ADCs present for Y,U,V.
For digitising the Y (luminance) 9 bits are used, to realise a
more detailed picture. The 9 bits are only internally used. Via
dithering the 9 bits are reduced to 8 bits and that data is stored
into the memory. The data in the memory is fed back to the
PICNIC and via undithering the data is again reproduced 9 bits
for processing.
U/V (colour difference signals) is also sampled with 9 bits.
These two 9 bit data streams are multiplexed to 4 bits data
streams. This reduction can be allowed, as the perception for
colours by the human eye is less sensitive as for luminance.
100 Hz conversion
The main task of the PICNIC is the conversion from 50Hz to
100Hz for YUV and HV-sync. In order to remove 'large area
flicker' (especially visible in a white picture), the field-rate of the
video is doubled by the FBX6. A 50/60 Hz frame frequency is
converted to 100/120 Hz. Also the line frequency (16 kHz) is
doubled (32 kHz). Basically, when the video input contains
fields A, B etc..., the conversion provides an AABB sequence
on the display. The actual conversion is done in the first Field
Memory by reading it twice at double speed, while writing it
once.

To the PICNIC external IC's are connected dependent of the
features.
If EM2E has only 100Hz then only one memory-IC is used to
store one frame.
For sets with Digital Scan the PROZONIC (IC7708,
SAA4990H) has been added with two memory-ICs (IC7714/
7715). It is an abbreviation for PROgressive scan Zoom and
Noise reduction IC.
When applying this, the 2nd Field Memory has to be installed.
The following functions are available:
•Line flicker reduction (Digital Scan): this is a feature to
reduce the 25 Hz interlace line flicker.
•Dynamic Noise Reduction: noise affected signals can be
improved by combining the pixel values of the current and
past video fields. This is however only possible in areas
without movement.
•Variable Vertical Sample Rate Conversion
•Synchronous No Parity Eight bit Reception an
Transmission interface (SNERT-bus)
Depending on the chassis model, the FBX6 can have the
following specification:
The PICNIC can provide horizontal video compression up to 50
%. The compress mode can be used to display dual screens for
instance with Teletext (only for widescreen sets).
Panorama
To fit 4:3 pictures into a 16:9 display, a panoramic horizontal
distortion can be applied to make a screen-fitting picture
without having black sidebars or lost video.
The centre horizontal gain is programmable and the side gain
is automatically adapted to make a screen-fit.
Automatic Aspect Ratio Adaptation (AARA)
This feature uses data from the 'black bar detection circuit' to
adapt the vertical and horizontal amplitude to an aspect ratio
belonging to the display without showing the black bars.
CTI
At CVBS video signals, the bandwidth of colour signals is
limited to 1/4 of the luminance bandwidth. Transients between
areas of different colours are therefore not very sharp. The
PICNIC can steepen these transients artificially with a time
manipulation algorithm.
Dynamic Contrast
To make the contrast (black/white) range wider, Philips has
invented Dynamic Contrast. It uses the digital memory used in
100 Hz sets. It measures every A-field (25x/s) and digitally
analyses where on the greyscale most of the image is located.
If it's a relatively dark image, the lighter part of that image is
stretched towards white, so that more contrast will become
visible in that picture. If it's a relatively light image, the darker
part of that image is stretched towards black, so that these
darker parts will have more contrast. When the image is in the
middle of the greyscale, both dark and light parts are stretched.
In the HOP (High-end Output Processor, TDA9330) the video
processor and digital deflection processor are integrated. The
main functions of the HOP are:
•Video control (contrast, brightness, saturation, etc.).
•2nd RGB interface for OSD/TXT.
•Peak White Limiting.
•Cut-off control and White Drive (RGB outputs).
•Geometry control.
The YUV-signals from the PICNIC are fed to the HOP. In the
HOP, the video and geometry control parts are integrated. Also
the RGB-signals from TXT/OSD are inserted via the HOP. This
IC has all functions from a video processor and geometry
control (like the DDP in MD2). The geometry part delivers the
H-drive, EW-drive and also a drive signal for rotation. The
internal V-drive circuit of the HOP is not used (is explained
further on).
Video Control
After conversion to RGB again, the signals can be controlled
for Saturation, Contrast and Brightness.
2nd RGB interface for OSD/TXT
On pins 35 - 38 the RGB and fast blanking from the OTC (OSD
and TXT) are inserted.
Peak White Limiting
On pin 43 there is a Peak White Limiting signal line (PWL). If
the beam current (EHT-info line) increases, then the EHT-info
voltage will decrease. PWL is controlled by average limiting via
R3343/C2333.
Cut-off control
Switching the TV to Standby:
1. Vertical scan is completed.
2. Vertical flyback is completed (the horizontal output is gated
with the flyback pulse, so that the horizontal output
transistor cannot be switched on during the flyback pulse).
3. Slow stop of the horizontal output is started, by gradually
reducing the 'on' time at the horizontal output from nominal
to zero (this will take 50 ms).
Page 47
Circuit descriptions and abbreviation list
GB 85EM2E9.
4. At the same time the fixed beam current is forced via the
black current loop for 25 ms. This is done by setting the
RGB outputs to a maximum voltage of 5.6V.
In the EM2E a 'one-point' cut-off control is used:
A current of 8 µA (for cut-off) is fed to pin 44 of the HOP. This
is done with a measurement pulse during the frame flyback.
During the 1st frame, 3 pulses are generated to adjust the cutoff voltage at a current of 8 µA.With this measurement the black
level at the RGB-outputs is adjusted. So at start-up there is no
monitor pulse anymore. At start-up, the HOP measures the
pulses which come back via pin 44. The RGB-outputs have to
be between 1.5 V and 3.5 V. If one of the outputs is higher than
3.5 V or one of them lower then 1.5 V, the RGB-outputs will be
blanked.
Geometry control
All geometry control is done via I
NVM (IC7011) of the SSB.
Line drive (LINEDRIVE1).
Line drive is derived from an internal VCO of 13.75 MHz. As a
reference an external resonator is used (1301). The internal
VCO is locked with the HD100-pulse, which comes from the
PICNIC. The 'PHI-2' part in the HOP receives the HFB_XRAY_PROT (pin 13) to correct the phase of the line drive. The
EHT-info is supplied to pin 14 (DYN-PHASE-CORR) to
compensate picture breathing depending on the beam current.
Service tip: This is not used at the moment, therefore EHTcompensation in the service menu is put to zero.
2
C and the data is stored in the
supplies the vertical and horizontal drive pulses and the 100 Hz
(2fH) sandcastle pulse.
The VD100 pulse from the PICNIC is only one line long.
Therefore this pulse is converted into a VDHOP signal by a 530
µ
s monostable oscillator (extended by 16.5 lines). This signal
is on block function level equal to VSYNC and FRAMEDRIVE+.
The OTC is synchronised on the HD100 pulse from the FBX
and on the VSYNC for the synchronisation of TXT/OSD/EPG
When no CVBS is offered to the video processor, the VA and
HA pulses are switched off by the HIP, and the VD and HD
pulses are then generated by the PICNIC. This to assure a
stable OSD.
Frame drive (FRAMEDRIVE+).
The VD100 signal from the PICNIC will be extended for 16.5
lines by the circuit around TS7309 and 7311. The resulting
signal (VDHOP) will drive TS7310. This will result in the
(asymmetric) FRAMEDRIVE+ signal.
Note: The Frame outputs (pins 1/2) of the HOP are not used!
East/West drive.
At pin 3 the E/W-drive is available. Pin 4 is a feedback input for
the EHT-info and is used to prevent pumping of the picture.
EHT varies also dependent of the beam current. For
widescreen without load this is 31.5 kV and with load (1.5 mA)
29.5 kV.
Frame rotation (only for 16:9 sets):
For frame rotation a control voltage is used from pin 25 of the
HOP. This voltage can vary from 0.4 V till 4 V.
Guarding protections:
•Flash detection:
When a flash occurs, the EHT-info will become negative very
fast. Via D6303/D6304/R3316, TS7303 starts to conduct. This
makes pin 5 of HOP high. When pin 5 of HOP is high, then the
output (pin 8) is immediately stopped. If H-drive stops then also
pin 5 will be low again, which will reset the flash detection. A bit
(FLS) will be set in an output status register, so via the OTC it
can be seen when there was a flash. This FLS-bit will be reset
when the OTC has read that register.
•HFB protection:
If the HFB is not present then this detected via the HOP. The
OTC puts the TV into protection and reads a register in the
HOP. An error code will be generated.
9.1.9Synchronisation (diagram B3 & B4)
The HIP video processor provides vertical and horizontal sync
pulses VA and HA that are synchronised with the incoming
CVBS signal. These pulses are fed to the PICNIC where they
are doubled to be synchronous with the 100 Hz picture. The
outgoing pulses, VD100 and HD100 are fed to the HOP that

The HOP (located on the SSB) generates the line-drive pulses
(LINEDRIVE1), which have a frequency of 31250 Hz (T = 32
µ
s).
When the LINEDRIVE1 signal is high, TS7409 and TS7408 will
conduct. A constant DC voltage will be applied across L5410,
causing a linear increasing current through this coil. The
secondary voltage of L5410 has a negative polarity so that
TS7421 will block. When switching on the set, the current
through L5410 is supplied by the 5V2 Standby supply (via
D6407), and taken over by the +11D voltage (via D6408) of the
main supply.
When the LINEDRIVE1 signal becomes low, TS7409 and
TS7408 will block. The voltage polarity across the primary
winding of L5410 will invert. The positive voltage on the
secondary winding will now drive TS7421 into conductivity.
Because of the storage time of the line transistor (TS7421),
L5410 cannot transfer its energy immediately to the secondary
side. This may result in high voltage peaks on the collector of
TS7409 and TS7408. To prevent that these peaks will damage
the transistors, a 'snubber' circuit (C2414, C2412 and R3411)
will suppress them.
When the LINEDRIVE1 signal is high again, the abovedescribed sequence starts again. Circuit L5411 and R3409 will
increase the switch-off time of the line transistor.

Operation of the line output stage
To explain the operation of the line output stage, we use the
following start conditions:

GB 87EM2E9.
Period t1 - t2:
When TS7421 is driven into conductivity, the capacitor voltage
of 141 V, will be divided across bridgecoil L5422 and the
deflection coil (conn. 0317). Due to the chosen inductance
values, there will be 100 V across the deflection coil and 41 V
across L5422. The linear increasing current in the deflection
coil will result in a spot moving from the centre of the picture
tube to the right.
The voltage across L5422 will also charge C2421 (41 V - 0.7
V).
Period t2 - t3:
At the moment the LINEDRIVE signal becomes high, TS7421
will stop conducting. In the coils a voltage will be induced, trying
to maintain the current. The current through the line deflection
coils continues to flow through C2425 and C2421 and the
current through L5422 continues to flow through C2426 and
C2421. The energy stored in the line deflection coil is passed
to C2425, and the energy of L5422 to C2426.
The resonance-frequencies of these 2 LC-circuits define the
flyback time of the spot from the right side of the picture tube to
the left.
On average no current flows through C2421 and thus the
voltage across this capacitor remains constant.

Period t3 - t4:
As for the period t2 - t3; but now the current flows in the
opposite direction, since the voltage across C2425 and C2426
is higher than the voltage across C2433 and C2421.
Period t4 - t5:
The coils want to maintain the negative current and will charge
the capacitors negative. Because of this, D6422 and D6423 will
conduct. The voltage is 100 V across the deflection coil and 41
V across L5422. As both diodes conduct, we may consider the
voltage to be constant. A linear current flows with the same
changing characteristics as in period t1 - t2. The spot now
moves from the extreme left of the picture tube to the centre.
Before the current becomes zero, and the spot is located in the
centre of the frame, TS7421 reverts back into conductivity. First
a short negative current will flow. The cycle starts again.
The linearity correction
A constant voltage across the horizontal deflection coil should
result in a linear increasing saw-tooth current. This however is
not the case as the resistance of the coil is not negligible. In
order to compensate for this, a pre-magnetised coil L5421 in
series with the deflection coil is used. This coil ensures that
during time interval t1 - t3 the circuit-resistance will be higher
than during t4 - t5. L5421 is called the linearity coil.
To avoid self-oscillation, R3431 and C2431 are placed parallel
to L5421.
The S-correction
Since the sides of the picture are further away from the point of
deflection than the centre, a linear saw-tooth current would
result in a non-linear image (the centre would be scanned
slower than the sides). To solve this, the deflection current for
the right- and left side will be reduced.
C2433 is charged quadratic during time interval t1 - t2. Left and
right the voltage across the deflection coil decreases, causing
the deflection to slow down. In the centre, the voltage increases
and the deflection will be faster. An S-shaped current will have
to be superimposed onto the saw-tooth current. This correction
is called finger-length correction or S-correction. C2433 is
relatively small, as a result of which the saw-tooth current will
generate a parabolic voltage with negative voltage peaks.. The
current also results in a parabolic voltage across C2421,
resulting in the finger-length correction, proportionally
increasing with the picture width. The EW-DRIVE signal will
ensure the largest picture width in the centre of the frame. Here
the largest correction is applied. The larger the picture width,
the higher the deflection current through C2433.
The E/W-correction
A line, written at the upper- or lower side of the screen, will be
larger at the screen centre when a fixed deflection current is
used. Therefore the amplitude of the deflection current must be
increased when the spot approaches the screen centre. This is
called East/West correction.
The EW-DRIVE signal is generated in the HOP and will drive
FET TS7480 via TS7481 and optocoupler TS7482. TS7480 will
charge capacitor C2423 more or less, increasing the deflection

Secondary line-voltages
During the blocking time of TS7421, the magnetic energy of coil
1 - 5 of the LOT will be transferred to electrical energy in the
secondary winding. Via rectifying and smoothing, the several
secondary supply voltages will be generated:
•EHT, Focus and Vg2-voltage
•+180V for the CRT panel (pin 8 LOT)
•+11D for the line deflection (pin 12 LOT)
•+13VLOT for the frame deflection (pin 6 LOT)
•-15VLOT for the frame deflection (pin 3 LOT)
•Filament voltage (pin 9 LOT)
The EHT-INFO signal is derived via R3450//R3451. This signal
decreases while the beam current increases. It is fed to the
HOP to compensate for loss of picture width and picture height.
The DYN-FASE-CORR signal is fed to the HOP via C2455 and
drives a dynamic phase correction necessary because of beam
current variations. This is done by regulating T
transistor TS7421.
of the line
ON
East-West circuit
The moment TS7480 is driven into saturation, C2421 will
discharge during the flyback. As a consequence of which
C2421 must be charged again during the scan via the
conduction diode D6422 (as long as C2421 is not charged to
the voltage across L5422, D6422 will conduct). The current in
the deflection coil is therefore larger than the current flowing in
L5422 (1-2). The voltage across the deflection coil increases,
so the picture width increases. When TS7480 blocks, C2421
will not discharge anymore and the voltage across C2421 will
remain constant. The result is that the voltage across the
deflection coil is minimal. The voltage across coil L5422,
however, is maximal. This coil (L5422) consists of a
transformer:
•As the current through the coil 1-2 increases (smaller
picture width), the current through coil 3-4 decreases.
Because of the transformer characteristic a higher voltage
will be subjected to coil 3-4, which will counteract the
current. The current will diminish even further.
•When the current through coil 1-2 diminishes (larger
picture width), the current through coil 3-4 increases.

The EW Drive
The EW drive signal originates in the HOP and is supplied to
TS7480. The shape of this signal determines the various
geometric correction parameters:
•H amplitude
•EW-parabola
•EW-corner
•EW-trapezium
•Horizontal parallelogram
•Horizontal bow
Beam current correction
The EHT-info at point 10 of the LOT is dependent on the value
of the beam current and the voltage divider R3450, R3451 and
C2450. The EHT-info is fed to the HOP to trim the contrast and
to compensate for the changes in picture-width as a function of
the EHT-info, when the high-voltage is decreased. The EHTinfo is integrated via C2450 and sent to the gate of the E/W FET
(TS7480) as a DC-voltage to correct the EW-current.

The HOP drives the frame output stage. As the HOP is 'cold'
and the frame output stage is 'hot', they must be galvanic
isolated by means of an optocoupler. In the MG-chassis the
HOP generates 3 signals needed for the frame output stage:
VDPOS, VDNEG and FRAME ROTATION. To avoid the costs
of 3 optocouplers, the frame drive pulse and rotation DCvoltage are added together and then fed to optocoupler
TS7610.
This is done as follows: The VD100 signal from the PICNIC
(diagram B3 pin 19) is extended for 16.5 lines and inverted via
a monostable multivibrator (TS7311 & TS7309, diagram B4).
The output signal VDHOP is then superimposed on a DCvoltage from pin 25 of the HOP. The resulting signal is called
FRAMEDRIVE+ and is fed to optocoupler 7610 (diagram A4).
So this signal contains info for both the frame deflection and the
frame rotation.
The circuit around IC7440 will amplify this signal and the output
current will flow through the rotation coil. The vertical pulses on
this signal are filtered by C2445 to ensure that only a DCvoltage will be supplied to the rotation coil.
The output voltage of the rotation circuit is between -8 and +8

Flyback generator
The frame output stage is supplied via the +13 V and -15 V
coming from the LOT. The output of the amplifier is 0 V
DC
, so
a coupling capacitor is not required.
CL 96532156_026.eps
210100
During the (forward) scan, a supply of +13 and -15 V is
sufficient to respond to the slow changing current. The flyback
generator puts a voltage of -15 V on pin 3. Because of the
voltage drop over zenerdiode D6622 (8.2 V), C2622 will be
charged to 19 V: being 13 + (15 - 8.2 - 0.7) V.
During the flyback scan, the change in current per time is much
larger, so a higher voltage is required. The flyback generator
will now generate a voltage of +13 V on pin 3. Added to the
charge on C2622 this will give a flyback voltage of 32 V
(depending on the CRT size, this value can differ).
The IC amplifier (IC7620, pin 5) supplies the sawtooth current
to the frame deflection coil. The current through this coil is
measured via R3620//R3621//R3622 and fed back to the
inverting input of the amplifier.
R3624 and C2624 on the output of the amplifier, form a filter for
high frequencies and in that way also prevents oscillations.
Peak voltages on the output, e.g. as a result of a possible flash,
are damped by the clamp circuit consisting of D6619, C2627
and R3627. The network consisting of R3625, R3629 and
C2629 form an extra damping circuit.
Protection circuit for bridge-coil and frame output stage
The secondary voltage of bridge coil L5422 is guarded at the
diode modulator (D6421/22) via a detection circuit consisting of
an 8.2 V zenerdiode (diagram A3). When the bridge-coil is
working properly, the average voltage on D6422 is such that
this zenerdiode will conduct and will drive TS7652 into
saturation via the BRIDGE_PROT signal (see diagram A4).
When, for any reason, the secondary side of the bridge-coil is
shorted, the average voltage on D6422 will drop below the
zener-voltage and TS7652 will block. Now capacitor C2642 will
be charged. Transistor TS7407 will start conducting and the
STANDBY signal will be grounded via R3403. This will switch
off the main supply (see diagram A1).

GB 89EM2E9.
Via the circuit built around TS7641 the frame output stage is
guarded. If the frame output stage is working properly, TS7641
and TS7652 will both conduct and thereby discharging C2642.
TS7407 is blocked now, causing the STANDBY signal to be
high-ohmic.
If there are frame pulses missing, TS7641 will block and
capacitor C2642 can be charged. Transistor TS7407 will now
start conducting and the STANDBY signal will be grounded via
R3403. This will switch off the main supply (see diagram A1).
9.1.12 Audio (diagram B6, A5 & A6)
Introduction
All EM2E sets contain one of ITT's Multistandard Sound
Processing IC's for sound decoding. The diversity arises
because each member of the MSP-family handles its own set
of sound standards:
•MSP3415D:Europe & AP decoding, Stereo incl.
NICAM.
•MSP3451G:Global decoding, Virtual Dolby.
This IC takes care of the main FM sound decoding. AM
decoding for the L system is done by the HIP. The demodulated
L sound is then again source selected and processed in the
MSP. The reason for this is the bad AM detection performance
of the MSP. In case of NICAM L however, this is handled by the
MSP.
All MSP versions contain digital audio processing, used for the
basic left/right stereo sound, such as bass, treble, balance,
incredible sound and spatial. In addition to that, the MSP3451
is also able to perform Virtual Dolby, a Dolby approved sound
mode for surround sound reproduction with left/right speakers
only.
Audio source selection
•MSP3515D (stereo)
This IC is an economised version of the MSP3410 that is used
in the MG-chassis. It can cover 2 stereo and 1 mono (AM)
input. Since more inputs are required, a separate source
selector is used (HEF4052, IC7675). This selector has EXT1,
EXT2, FRONT and SC1-OUT (Tuner) as input and is
connected to the SCART1 input of the MSP3415. The SCART2
input is not used.
Since the MSP3415 has only one SCART output, which is
connected to the SCART1, a constant level output and
connection to SCART2 is not available. This is fixed by
connecting the HEF4052 input selector to the constant level
output and to SCART2 via a so-called 'Régimbeau' switch
(IC7652).
This switch is needed to prevent feedback (Larsen effect).
When EXT2 is chosen as input signal, and the output of
SCART2 is selected, this means that the main picture is also
EXT2 and will cause the Larsen effect. To prevent this, the
record select must be switched to Tuner. This is especially
important when decoders are used, behind a 'transparent' VCR
connected to EXT2.
To get a constant level output if the Tuner is selected, the
SCART1 output (Tuner at any time), has to be fed back to the
input selector and selected as input for the MSP (SCART1
input).
The MSP3415 has no separate output to drive a headphone.
The headphone is therefore hardwired (on the LSP) to the main
sound output.
•MSP3451G (Virtual Dolby)
The MSP3451, which is used in all versions supporting Virtual
Dolby, is capable of supporting 4 stereo inputs and 1 mono
(AM) INPUT. Therefore the extra input selector (HEF4052) is
not needed.
The MSP3451 is also capable of supporting 2 SCART outputs,
so the trick used in the MSP3415 set-up to get a constant level
output is not needed.
The MSP3451 has a separate headphone output, so sound
control be done separate from the speakers.
Audio decoding
At the input a choice can be made between two IF-signals; SIF
and SIFM.
The selected signal is fed to the AGC. After this, an ADC
converts the IF-signal to digital.
This digital signal can be processed by 2 demodulation
channels. The first one is able to handle FM and NICAM
signals. The second one can handle FM and AM signals.
Each channel contains a mixer to shift the incoming signal in
the frequency domain. This shift is determined by the value of
a DCO.
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.
Both channels contain an 'automatic carrier mute' function,
which automatically mutes the output of the analogue section
when no carrier is detected.
After demodulation, the FM-signals are subjected to a deemphasis operation. After that the matrix of the stereo system
is applied.
Audio processing
The sound processing in EM2E is completely done by the
MSP3415D for 'Stereo' sets or the MSP3451G for 'Virtual
Dolby' sets:
•Volume control is done by the user via the SOUND menu.
•Tone control in 'Stereo' sets is done via the BASS/TREBLE
control, in 'Virtual Dolby' sets via the 5-band equaliser.
•Headphone control in 'Stereo'-sets is done via the
loudspeaker output of the MSP, no sound control possible.
In 'Virtual Dolby'-sets, the MSP has a separate Headphone
output so separate sound control is possible.
•Mute control can be done in different ways:
– Via the SOUND_ENABLE line of the OTC. Used during
start-up/switch-off conditions, in order to avoid audible
plops.
– Via the decoding part of the MSP.
– Via the processing part of the MSP.
The mute on the RC or in the UI is per today a combination of
processing mute and SOUND_ENABLE line. When a user
mute is done, the processing mute will turn down the volume,
after which the SOUND_ENABLE line is switched. De-muting
is the other way around. The reasons for this is a technical
problem with crosstalk of the headphone into the loudspeakers.
Automatic Volume Levelling (AVL)
One of the features of the MSP-family is AVL. If used, it limits
the big volume differences in the broadcast between e.g. news
transmissions and commercials or within a movie.
To be able to get a Dolby approval (for the Virtual Dolby sets),
the AVL feature must be switchable. Therefore, the AVL
feature is customer switchable via the menu.
Audio amplification
The audio amplifier part is very straight forward. It uses an
integrated power amplifier IC, the TDA2616. It delivers an
Page 52
GB 90EM2E9.
Circuit descriptions and abbreviation list
output of 2 x 10 WRMS to 2 full range speakers. A subwoofer
is not implemented.
The supply voltage is +28 V, generated by the main supply via
L5506.
Muting is done via the SOUND-ENABLE line connected to pin
2 of the amplifier-IC and coming from the OTC. This signal is
inverted by TS7730, as a result of which at a high level of the
SOUND-ENABLE signal, current is sinked from pin 2 and the
IC mutes.
9.1.13 Teletext / NexTView (diagram B5)
Teletext
The TXT-decoder in the OTC gets its video signal directly on
pin 5 (from the HIP).
The RGB-outputs are available on pins 77/78/79. Fast blanking
is realised via pen 80.
In the previous chassis there was separate memory to store the
TXT information. In EM2E the DRAM (IC7007) of the
microprocessor is also used for the TXT-decoder.
NexTView
NexTView allows the user to display a program guide on the TV
screen that contains extensive information for each program.
This information can be displayed in a number of different
summaries:
•DAY: The daily summary shows, from the current moment,
the program schedule for several stations for a short time
ahead.
•CHANNEL: The channel summary shows the program
schedule for one station.
•THEME: The theme summary shows, for each theme, the
program schedule of the various stations. These themes
consist of sport, film, culture, etc. and is determined from
the station side.
NexTView does not have to restrict itself to information about
the station that is being viewed, but also offers information
about other stations. In the various summaries 3 different
commands can be given for the various program overviews.
These commands appear as follows:
•WATCH: The set immediately switches over to the station
concerned.
•REMINDER: The start time and date and the station of the
program concerned is stored in the TV reminder list. The
TV will give an OSD-message with the program
information, or switch on the set at the correct moment
(provided the set is in Standby) and tune to the station
concerned.
•RECORD: The timer of the video recorder with ‘Easylink
Plus’ is programmed with the data of the program
concerned. There has to be a video recorder (with Easylink
Plus) connected to SCART2 otherwise the ‘RECORD’
function will not be highlighted. The connection is via pin 10
from SCART. This means that it has to be a full SCART or
at least pin 10 has to be wired.
In order to be able to realise NexTView, two teletext type data
flows, Data stream 1 and 2, are transmitted with various subcode pages of information. This data flow can transport limited
information (max. 40 pages). Data stream 1 is quick repeating
with a repetition time of approximately 20 to 30 seconds.
However, Data stream 2 has a much longer repetition time of
approximately half an hour and has a large transport capacity.
•Data stream 1 contains information of the station that is
being viewed.
•Data stream 2 contains up to one week of advance
information from various stations that are covered by the
provider.
9.1.14 CRT / SCAVEM / Rotation (diagram F)
RGB amplifiers
On the CRT panel, the RGB amplifier (TDA6108, IC7307) is
located. Via the outputs 9, 8 and 7 the cathodes of the picture
tube are driven.
The supply voltage for the amplifier is 180 V and is derived from
the LOT.
SCAVEM
The SCAVEM-circuitry is implemented in the layout of the
picture tube panel. It is thus not an extra module. SCAVEM
means SCAn VElocity Modulation. This means that the
horizontal deflection is influenced by the picture content. In an
ideal square wave, the sides are limited in slope by a limited
bandwidth (5 MHz).
SCAVEM will improve the slope as follows: At a positive slope,
a SCAVEM-current is generated which supports the deflection
current. The first half of the slope the spot is accelerated and
the picture is darker, while at the second half of the slope, the
spot is delayed and the slope becomes steeper.
At the end of the slope, the SCAVEM-current decays to zero
and the spot is at the original position. An overshoot occurs
which improves the impression of sharpness. At the negative
slope, the SCAVEM-current counteracts the deflection.
During the first half of the slope, the spot is delayed, the slope
becomes steeper.
During the second half the spot accelerates, the SCAVEMcurrent is zero at the end of the slope.
Via the three resistors R33315, R33317 and R3320, Red,
Green and Blue are added together and offered to the emitter
TS7300. On the collector of this transistor, configured in a
common base, the sum of these 3 signals is obtained. Via the
emitter follower formed with TS7301, this signal is conveyed to
the differentiator C2303, R3309 and R3318. Only the high
frequencies are differentiated (small RC-time).
The positive and negative pulses of this signal drive
respectively TS7303 and TS7302 into conductivity. The DC
setting of the output stage is set by R3304, R3308, R3316 and
R3319. The working voltage of the transistors is settled at half
the supply voltage.
At the positive section of the pulse, the current flows through
R3318, C2307, the SCAVEM-coil and TS7303. At the negative
section of the pulse, the current flows through R3318, C2409,
the SCAVEM-coil and TS7302.
Rotation
In sets with a rotation coil (widescreen sets ≥ 32"), the amount
of frame rotation is adjusted with the DAC-output of the HOP
(see also 'Vertical Deflection').
9.1.15 Software related features
Following features are described:
•Smart Local Doming Prevention (SLDP)
•Auto TV
•Switch ON behaviour
Smart Local Doming Prevention (SLDP)
A CRT with an iron shadow mask shows a considerable
amount of local doming (due to local heating), resulting in
unwanted colour artefacts.
SLDP helps to reduce these artefacts for both 16:9 and 4:3 sets
to an acceptable level. It measures the beam current in areas
that are sensitive to local doming and reduces the contrast if
the beam current in these places exceeds a pre-set threshold.
The chosen solution in EM2E, is based on the PICNIC
hardware and software and it uses the histogram measurement
of the PICNIC to make a prediction of the local heating of the
CRT shadow mask.
Page 53
Circuit descriptions and abbreviation list
GB 91EM2E9.
With SLDP, local doming is diminished to an acceptable level
at the cost of contrast reduction. By using a 'smart' solution for
a part of the necessary contrast reduction, the resulting picture
remains even more acceptable.
SLDP is not a feature. It’s an algorithm that diminishes local
doming effects. These effects occur whenever iron mask ( and
in a limited way invar mask) tubes are applied. Therefore, there
is no reason to make it switchable for the customer. However,
SLDP can be switched off via the Service Alignment Mode
(SAM).
AutoTV
The AutoTV (or 'Automatic Picture Control' or 'Active Control')
aims at giving the customer the best possible picture
performance at any time. Therefor it does real time processing
of the video signal and as a result, it decides to adapt several
video parameters throughout the whole chassis.
The AutoTV feature integrates traditional picture performance,
AutoTV functionality and 'smart controls' in order to come to a
kind of 'supersmart' TV. It can be subdivided in:
•Auto Noise Reduction. This algorithm measures the
amount of noise in the incoming video signal (this is done
by the LIMERIC part of the PICNIC). As a result of this
measurement, the amount of noise in the picture is
corrected, starting from that noise level which is annoying
for the customer. Which parameters exactly can be used is
depending on the hardware.
•Auto Sharpness. This algorithm measures the amount of
sharpness via the bandwidth of the incoming video signal
and adapts the peaking frequency in the PICNIC according
to this info. If the 'sharpness meter' sees the video content
as 'sharp', high frequency peaking will be used. On the
other hand, if the picture content is seen as 'not sharp', a
low/mid frequency peaking is used. There is a coupling
between the Auto Noise and the Auto Sharpness
algorithm: if noise is present in the video content, then in
general the sharpness will be made less aggressive.
Special care has to be taken to the interaction of the
LIMERIC and the vertical peaking of the PICNIC: a too big
amount of vertical peaking increases the visibility of the
2DNR artefacts.
In the EM2E a limited AutoTV control function is used: only a
combination of above described features is used in the
background in order to improve the set performance, specially
focussed on noise reduction.
between each polling approx. 5 ms). If this detection still fails
after 1 second, an error should be generated and the set must
be switched to protection (error: “+8 V).
After detection of the +8 V, the MSP must be reset, since it can

To be sure that the HOP is properly started up, the POR bit of
the HOP should be read. If this is not successful, the Standby
info has to be put high again and an error code (code 11: HOP)
will be generated. If the reading of the POR bit is successful,
the starting procedure can be continued.
The Standby info line must be switched high again. The sync
mode and the black current stabilisation loop of the HOP must
be disabled in order to have a smooth start-up. Within 23.5 ms
after reading the HOP POR bit, the HOP has to be started up
via the HOP_start commando. If this condition is not fulfilled,
the HOP will stop his line drive again and the set will not be able
to start up.
During start-up of the deflection, I

After deflection is powered up completely, all protection
algorithms are set active.
The rest of the NVM content can now be read and the IC’s can
be initialised according this info.
If SLDP is present in the set, an initialisation of SLDP has to be
performed, including a calibration of the beamcurrent ADC.
The sync-mode of the HOP must be switched to active and the
black current stabilisation loop in the HOP is switched on.
Some extra checking is done to ensure that the loops are
completely stabilised. Software sets all the necessary
parameters for a correct sound and image and unblanks the
picture.
A provision is foreseen to avoid sets in the field that will never
unblank, if the picture tube is severely worn out. If the black
current stabilisation does not become stable within a time
frame of 30 seconds, the picture is unblanked anyway
Switch ON behaviour
First of all, the microprocessor needs to start up: After the
power is applied, the 'Standby supply' starts oscillating,
generating the +5V2 and +3V3. When ready, a reset (POR) is
generated and the OTC is awakened.
During reset, the OTC puts a high level on all his outputs,
causing the degaussing relay to close. After the reset, the
outputs and inputs of the OTC must be initialised to their default
state. The degaussing output of the OTC must stay high for 12
seconds.
Next step is the check whether the set needs to be in Standby
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.
If the set has to be switched 'on', the Standby-info line is pulled
low. This results in the low power mode start-up of the HOP.
The line drive starts to run on 50 kHz, wakes up the main
supply and the +5 V, +8 V and +141 V supplies become
available. The OTC waits until the +8 V is fully present. This is
done by checking the ADC input of the OTC. A positive result
means three times a positive +8 V detection in a row (time
