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 chassis concept, a very large part of this
chassis (incl. deflection) is 'hot'. Therefore the set must
be connected to the mains via an isolating transformer.
•Safety components, indicated by the symbol
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 M
– 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.

, should
2.3Warnings
•In order to prevent damage to IC's and transistors, all
high-voltage 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 high-voltage probe and a multimeter (position
VDC). Discharge until the meter reading is 0 V (after
approx. 30 s).
V
Figure 2-1
•
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.
CL96532156_040.eps

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.

•The direct voltages and oscillograms should be
measured with regard to the tuner earth (

).
•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 (
Voltages in the power supply section are measured both
for normal operation (
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.

Today, most broadcasters in Europe, are offering teletext pages containing
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
NEX
TV
IEW
it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming
tonight.
Both facilities are integrated in this TV:
NEX
TV
IEW
and Teletext Programme
Guide. If a TV channel supports
NEX
TV
IEW
then the TV will automatically
present the
NEX
TV
IEW
programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just
teletext, then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide.
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
TV
IEW
Link Level 2.0), once, daily, weekly or series.
Teletext Guide/
NEX
TV
IEW
also allows direct access to detailed information
about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.
The broadcaster is responsible for the contents of the information.
The TV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to

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.
Remark: if the displayed teletext characters on screen do not correspond with the
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.
The page counter seeks the page or the page appears immediately when the
page number has been stored in the memory.
A message appears when you have entered a non existent or incorrect page
number. Page numbers beginning with 0 or 9 do not exist. Choose another number.
With the option line
Select with the colour keys, corresponding to the coloured options at the
bottom of the screen, the desired subject.

Tips & Index
Care of the screen
Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it
can damage the TV screen.
Poor Picture
• Have you selected the correct TV
system?
• Is your TV or house aerial located too
close to loudspeakers, non-earthed
audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?
• Mountains or high buildings can cause
double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture
quality by changing the direction of the
aerial.
• Is the picture or teletext
unrecognisable?
Check if you have entered the correct
frequency. See Installation, p. 5.
• Are brightness and contrast out of
adjustment? Select Factory settings in
the Setup menu, p. 7.
• Sometimes poor picture quality is
possible when having activated an S-VHS
camera or camcorder connected to the
right side of your TV and another
peripheral is connected to
EXT1
or
EXT2
at the same time. In this case
switch off one of the other peripherals.
No picture
• Is the aerial connected properly?
• Are the plugs tightly connected in the
aerial socket?
• Is the aerial cable in good condition and
does it have suitable plugs?
• Are the connection facilities to a possible
second TV in good condition? If in doubt,
consult your dealer.
No sound
• No sound on any channel? Check the
volume isn’t at minimum.
• Is the sound interrupted with the mute
key ¬?
Remote control
If your TV no longer responds to the
remote control, the batteries may be
dead.
You can still use the M key and the
-/+ keys at the top of your TV.
Menu
Have you selected the wrong menu? Press
the
MENU
key again to exit from the
menu.
No solution
Switch your TV off and then on again
once.
Never attempt to repair a defective
TV yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a TV
technician.

100 Hz
100 Hertz provides a superior solution to
the problem of picture flicker which is
particularly noticeable with larger screen
sizes. In a conventional TV,the picture area
is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) –
a frequency which is still detectable by the
human eye in the form of a flickering
picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area
is scanned at a rate of 100 times per
second (100 Hertz). At this frequency,the

5.2.3Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can
call his dealer. The service technician can than ask the
customer to activate the CSM, in order to identify the status
of the set. Now, the service technician can judge the
severness of the complaint. In a lot of cases he can advise
the customer how to solve the problem, or he can decide if it
is necessary to visit the customer.
The CSM is a read only mode, therefore modifications in this
mode are not possible.
How to enter CSM
Use one of the following methods:
•Press the ‘MUTE’ button on the RC-transmitter
simultaneously with the ‘MENU’ button on the TV (top
control) for, at least 4 seconds.
•Key in the code ‘123654’ via the standard RC transmitter.
Note 1: Activation of the CSM is only possible if there is no
(user) menu on the screen !
Note 2: If you do not point the RC-transmitter correctly to the
RC-receiver in the set, and you push the ‘MENU’ button for
more than 6 s, the TV starts in ‘demo’ mode. To leave this
mode, push ‘MENU’ again for more than 6 s.
After activation of the Customer Service Menu, the following
screen (Customer Service Menu 0) will appear:

How to exit CSM
Use one of the following methods:
•After you press a key on the RC-transmitter (with
exception of the ‘CHANNEL’ and ‘VOLUME’ keys), or
•After you switch the TV-set ‘OFF’ with the mains switch.
5.3Problems and Solving Tips (related to CSM)
Note: Below described problems are all related to the TV
settings. The procedures to change the value (or status) of
the different settings, are described above.
The new value(s) are automatically stored.
Picture too dark
1. Press 'Smart Picture' button on the RC-transmitter. In
case the picture improves, increase the ‘Brightness’ or
the ‘Contrast’ value. The new value(s) are automatically
stored (in ‘personal’ pre-set) for all TV channels.
2. Check lines 5 'LS Brightness' and 6 'LS Contrast'. If the
value of line 5 is low (< 10) or the value of line 6 is low
(< 10), increase the ‘Brightness’ or the ‘Contrast’ value.
Picture too bright
1. Press 'Smart Picture' button on the RC-transmitter. In
case the picture improves, decrease the ‘Brightness’ or
the ‘Contrast’ value. The new value(s) are automatically
stored (in ‘personal’ pre-set) for all TV channels.
2. Check lines 5 'LS Brightness' and 6 'LS Contrast'. If the
value of line 5 is high (> 40) or the value of line 6 is high
(< 50). Decrease the ‘Brightness’ value or increase the
‘Contrast’ value.
White line around picture elements and text
1. Press 'Smart Picture' button on the Remote Control. In
case the picture improves, decrease the ‘Sharpness’
value. The new value is automatically stored (in
‘personal’ pre-set) for all TV channels.
2. Check line 9 'Sharpness'. Decrease the ‘Sharpness’
value. The new value is automatically stored for all TV
channels.
No picture
Check line 20 'Tuned bit'. In case the value is ‘On’, install the
required program again. Open the installation menu by
pressing 'timer' and 'enlarge' at the same time and perform
manual installation.
Blue picture
No proper signal is received. Check the aerial cable/aerial
system.
Blue picture and/or unstable picture
A scrambled or decoded signal is received.
Black and white picture
Check line 7 'LS Colour'. In case the value is low (< 10)
increase the ‘Colour’ value. The new value is automatically
stored for all TV channels.
No colours/colour lines around picture elements
1. Check lines 17 'Colour System' and 18 'TV System'. If a
‘strange’ system pop’s up, something has gone wrong
during installation. Re-install the channel.
2. In case line 17 is ‘PAL’ and line 18 is ‘L’, the installed
system for this pre-set is ‘France’, while ‘West Europe’ is
required. Install the required program again: open the
installation menu by pressing 'timer' and 'enlarge' at the
same time and perform manual installation. Select
system ‘West Europe’.
5.3.1Picture Problems
Worse picture quality in case of DVD pictures
Check line 22 'Digital sources'. In case line 22 gives the
indication 'Not Present', change the setting into 'Present' (via
the ‘installation’ menu).
Snowy/noisy picture
1. Check line 15 'Noise Figure'. In case the value is 127 or
higher and the value is also high on other programs,
check the aerial cable/aerial system.
2. Check lines 9 'Sharpness' and 15 'Noise Figure'. In case
the value of line 9 is 3 or 4 and the value of line 15 is high
(127 or higher), decrease the 'Sharpness' value.
Colours not correct
Check lines 17 'Colour System' and 18 'TV System'. In case
line17is‘PAL’ andline18is‘L’, the installed system for this
pre-set is ‘France’,while‘West Europe’ is required. Install the
required program again: open the installation menu by

•Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain
extends. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide
you through the faultfinding tree by asking you questions
(e.g.
Does the screen give a picture? Click on the correct
answer: YES / NO
) and showing you examples (e.g.
Measure test-point I7 and click on the correct oscillogram
you see on the oscilloscope
). You can answer by clicking
on a link (e.g. text or a waveform picture) that will bring
you to the next step in the faultfinding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additionalfeatures like:
•Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
•Managing of pre-set lists.
•Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool (DST).
•If both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service
Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs
of the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example:
Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568

5.4.1Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the European DST (service remote control),
which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair
has three big advantages:
•ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on
how to repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you
systematically through the repair procedures.
•ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I
and is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem
areas. You do not have to know anything about I
commands yourself because ComPair takes care of this.
•ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automatically communicate with the chassis (when the
microprocessor is working) and all repair information is
directly available. When ComPair is installed together
with the SearchMan electronic manual of the defective
chassis, schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click
away.
5.4.2Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based faultfinding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective)
product. The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC
via a serial or RS232 cable.
In case of the EM3E chassis, the ComPair interface box and
the TV communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the
service connector.
The ComPair faultfinding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in two ways:
•Automatic (by communication with the television):
ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the
entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I

5.4.3Stepwise Start Up / Shut Down
Under normal circumstances, a fault in the power supply, or
an error during start-up, will switch the television to protection
mode. ComPair can take over the initialisation of the
television. In this way it is possible to distinguish which part
of the start-up routine (hence which circuitry) is causing the
problem.
Stepwise start up explanation
This is realised via ComPair and is very helpful when a
protection is activated (see also chapter 5.7).

Note: When the set is in stepwise mode and, due to
stepping-up, a protection is activated, the set will really 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 the protection was
activated. At state (X-1) diagnostic measurements can be
performed.
5.4.4How To Connect
1. First install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick
Reference Card for installation instructions).
2. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial
(COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked
with ‘PC’) of the ComPair interface.
3. Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector
(marked with ‘POWER 9V DC’) of the ComPair interface.
4. Switch the ComPair interface ’OFF’.
5. Switch the television set ‘OFF’ with the mains switch.
6. Connect the ComPair interface cable between the
connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface
(marked with ‘I
2
C’) and the ComPair connector at the
rear side of the TV (situated just below the tuner input,
see also chapter 4).
7. Plug the mains adapter in a mains outlet, and switch the
interface ‘ON’. The green and red LEDs light up together.
The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while
the green LED remains lit.
8. Start the ComPair program and read the ‘Introduction’
chapter.
The error code buffer contains all detected errors since the
last time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left
to right. When an error occurs that is not yet in the error code
buffer, it is written at the left side and all other errors shift one
position to the right.
5.5.2How to Read the Error Buffer
Use one of the following methods:
•On screen via the SAM (only if you have a picture).
Examples:
– ERROR: 9 6 0 0 0 : Error code 6 was first detected
and error code 9 is the last detected (newest) error
•Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no
picture). See next paragraph.
•Via ComPair.
5.5.3How to Clear the Error Buffer
Use one of the following methods:
•By activation of the ‘RESET ERROR BUFFER’
command in the SAM menu:
•When you transmit the commands ‘DIAGNOSE’ - ‘99’ ‘OK’ with ComPair (or with a DST).
•If the content of the error buffer has not changed for 50
hours, it resets automatically.
5.5.4Error Codes
In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before
you begin the repair. These to ensure that old error codes are
no longer present.

Note: Error codes 1, 6 or 18 are protection codes and in this
case, supplies of some circuits will be switched off. Also in
protection, the LED will blink the number of times equivalent
to the most recent error code.
5.6The Blinking LED Procedure
5.6.1Introduction
Via this procedure, you can make the contents of the error
buffer visible via the front LED. This is especially useful for
fault finding, when there is no picture.
When the SDM is entered, the front LED will show (blink) the
contents of the error-buffer. Error-codes
follows:
– a long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the
decimal digit),
– a pause of 1.5 s,
– n short blinks (where n = 1 - 9),
– when all the error-codes are displayed, the sequence
finishes with a LED blink of 3 s,
– the sequence starts again.
Example: Error 129600.
After activation of the SDM, the red front LED will show:
– 1 long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the
decimal digit) followed by a pause of 1.5 s,
– 2 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
– 9 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
– 6 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s,
– 1 long blink of 3 s to finish the sequence,
– the sequence starts again.

5.6.2How to Enter
Use one of the following methods:
•Enter the SDM. The blinking red front LED will show the
contents of the error buffer (this works only in ‘normal
operation’ mode).
•Transmit the commands ‘DIAGNOSE’ - ‘0’ - ‘OK’ with a
DST/ComPair (this works both in ‘Standby mode’ and
‘protection’ mode). The complete error buffer is shown.
•Via the ‘DIAGNOSE’ - ‘X’ - ‘OK’ function on the DST/
ComPair (where X is a number between 1 and 5):
1. Press the ‘DIAGNOSE’ button on the DST (possible
in all modes except SAM).
2. Press ‘1’ to view the last detected error (or ‘2’,etc.to
show the errors before).
3. Press the ‘OK’ button. The red front LED will now
give the requested error.
5.7Protections
5.7.1Introduction
The EM3E 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 (via stabiliser 7005). 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 is put in protection mode. The
protection mode is indicated by the blinking of the red front
LED at a frequency of 3 Hz (or by a coded blinking in special
cases). In some error cases however, the micro processor
does not put the set in the protection mode (this is the case
with the - hardware - loudspeaker protection of the audio
amplifier).
Page 30
GB 30EM3E5.
Service Modes, Error Codes and Fault Finding
The content of the error buffer can be read via the service
menu (SAM), the blinking LED procedure or via DST/
ComPair.
The DST/ComPair ‘diagnose’ functionality will force the set
into the ‘Service Standby’, which is alike the usual Standby,
however the microprocessor remains completely in normal
operation.
To get a quick diagnosis the EM3E 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 (see Figure 4-7), via an RC-transmitter
(DST or standard RC) or via ComPair. It is not possible to
enter the SAM in Standby, the set has to be in ‘normal
operation’ mode.
The EM3E 'Protection Diagram' shows the structure of the
protection system. See diagram below.

5.7.3OTC Related Protections
If a protection is detected at an OTC input, the OTC will start
to scan all protection inputs every 200 ms for 5 times. If the
protection on one of the inputs is still active after 1 s, the
mP
will put the set in the protection mode. Before the scanning
is started, a so called ‘ESD refresh’ is carried out. This is
done, because the interrupt on one of the inputs is possibly
caused either by a flash or by ESD. As a flash or ESD can
influence IC settings, the HOP, HIP, MSP, PICNIC, NVM and
Tuner are initialised again, to ensure the normal picture and
sound conditions of the set.
8 V and 5 V protection: The
mP senses the presence of the
8Vand5V(viathe‘+5V_CON’ and ‘+8V_CON’ lines). If one
(or both) of these voltages is (are) not present, an error code
is stored in the error buffer of the NVM, and the set is put in
the protection mode.
5.7.4HOP Related Protections
Every 200 ms, the status register of the HOP is read by the
OTC (via the I
2
C bus). If a protection signal is detected on
one of the inputs of the HOP, the relevant error bit in the HOP
register is set to ‘high’. If this error bit is still ‘high’ after 1 s,
the OTC will store the error code in the error buffer of the
NVM and, depending on the relevancy of the error bit, the set
will either go into the protection mode or not.
The following protections are implemented:
•HFB (Horizontal Flyback): If the horizontal flyback is
not present, this is detected via the HOP (HFB_XRAY_PROT). One status bit is set to ‘high’. The error
code is stored in the error buffer and the set will go into
the protection mode.
•Flash detection: When a flash is detected via the EHT-
info line (via D6303 and T7303), the H-drive (and so the
Line output stage) is stopped immediately. The FLS-bit in
the HOP status register is set to ‘high’. As the duration of
a flash is very short, the FLS-bit is re-set to ‘low’ again
after the flash refresh, and via a ‘slow start’ the set will
start again.
5.7.5Hardware Related Protections
Due to the architecture (with 'hot' deflection) there are some
protections that can not be sensed by the microprocessor.
Three of these protections will lead to a protection on set
level (Standby mode and blinking LED), while another will
only lead to a circuit protection.
TV-set Protection
The following fault conditions will lead to a ‘complete’ set
protection:
•BRIDGECOIL protection: This is sensed via the ‘EW’
signal going to the base of TS7652 (via R3495 and
D6499). In a normal situation, the voltage on C2498
(diagram A4)is high, TS7652 is conducting. When bridge
coil 5422 (diagram A3) is short circuited, the voltage on
C2498 changes to low, which will block TS7652. In this
case, also TS7641 will block and the voltage on 2642 will
rise until TS7443 is forced in conduction. The ‘SUPENABLE’ signal (in normal operating condition -20 V) is
shorted now to ground level, which will force the Main
Power Supply to Standby mode.
•ARC protection: If there are ‘open’ connections (e.g.
2
C
bad solder joints) in the
this can lead to damaging effects (read: fire). For that
high energy
deflection circuitry,
reason, the E/W current is sensed (via 3479//3480). If
this current becomes too high, the ‘thyristor’ circuit
(TS7653 and TS7654) is triggered. TS7442 is switched
‘on’ and TS7443 is forced into conduction. . The ‘SUPENABLE’ signal is shorted now to ground level, which will
force the Main Power Supply to Standby mode.
Page 31
Service Modes, Error Codes and Fault Finding
GB 31EM3E5.
•NON_VFB (No vertical Flyback) protection. If the
frame stage generates no pulses, TS7641 will block.
TS7443 is now switched ‘on’, which will lead to Standby
mode. So in normal operation condition, TS7641 and
TS7652 are conducting, while TS7443 is blocked.
Circuit Protection
The following fault condition will lead to a ‘partly’ set
protection:
•PROT1 protection: When a DC-voltage (positive or
negative) is sensed on one of the loudspeaker outputs,
the protection circuit (TS7704, 7705, 7706 and 7707),
will put the IC7700 in Standby mode (via tri-state input
pin 6). For more details see chapter 9.
5.8Repair Tips
5.8.1Miscellaneous
The relay you hear when you switch the set 'on' (from
Standby or via the mains switch), is from the degaussing
circuitry. It is not used for switching the Power Supply (as
done in the MG-chassis).
Take care not to touch the ‘hot’ heatsink while disconnecting
the SSB, despite the fact that the mains cord is out of the
mains socket. There can still be an annoying rest-voltage on
the heatsink for a short while. This, because the discharge
resistors 3502 and 3503 (on the LSP between hot and cold
part) are not stuffed for Europe.
Instead, discharge resistors 3066 and 3057 on the Mains
Switch panel are used, but because they are located before
the Mains switch, they only discharge when this switch is
‘on’.
Advice: when you remove the SSB, disconnect the Mains
cord, but keep the Mains switch ‘on’.
Do not try to measure on the SSB side, which is facing the
‘hot’ heatsink. This is dangerous. Most service test points are
guided to the ‘tuner’ side and are indicated by the ‘service’
printing. Where the circuitry was too ‘crowded’ for this
printing, you can find the correct location on the ‘test point
overviews’ in this manual (chapter 6).

5.8.3ComPair
This chassis does not have an IR transmitting LED (as in MGsets). Therefore a ‘Service’ (ComPair) connector is
implemented at the rear side of the set, which is directly
accessible (as in EM2E-sets). In addition to this, there is also
a blinking LED procedure to show the contents of the error
buffer.
When you use ComPair, you have the possibility to activate
a ‘stepwise start-up’ mode. With this mode, you can initiate
the start-up sequence step by step. This also means that in
certain steps, some protections are not activated. This is
sometimes very convenient during repair (see also
paragraph 5.4.3).

A very large part of the LSP is 'hot', such as:
– the primary part of the Standby Supply,
– the whole Main supply (except for the secondary Audio
supply),
– and the complete deflection circuitry (so notice that the
deflection coil is hot !!).

4. EHT generation is now started.
5. The OTC will un-blank the picture.
6. When you switch ‘off’ the set, this is done in a controlled
way via the POR signal [3].
Note: Standby is not directly achieved via the Standby line of
the microprocessor, but indirectly via the HOP circuitry.
5.8.4Protections
There are ‘service pads’ implemented on the SSB (items
4005 and 4006, outside the shielding), to force the set in
SDM or SAM (see also Fig. 7 in Chapter 4). This will overrule
the processor-controlled protections, but not the hardware
protections. This means, that the A/D-input protections (5
and 8 V) and the I
2
C ‘not-acknowledging’ info from the
feature box (FBX) are overruled. Caution: When doing this,
the service technician must know what he is doing, as it could
lead to damaging the set.
The ‘ARC’- and/or ‘BRIDGECOIL’ protection are hardly ever
triggered, however:
– When you suspect the ‘ARC’ protection, look for bad
solderjoints and smell. By interrupting resistor 3497, this
protection is disabled (special attention needed !).
– When you suspect the ‘BRIDGECOIL’ protection, which
can also be due to a too wide picture amplitude, shorten
G and S of of the E/W MOSFET 7480. This will disable
the protection. You will now have a minimal horizontal
amplitude. Re-align the horizontal amplitude in the SAM
menu and remove the G/S short of TS7480.
5.8.5Main Supply
•The simplest way is, to replace the components of the
Main Supply with repair kit (3122 785 90310)
•More detailed way:
Page 32
GB 32EM3E5.
– Replace FET 7504 and zener 6505.
– Remove the SSB panel.
– Short B and E of TS7529, in order to put the Main
Supply in ‘on’-mode (TS7529 is blocking then).
Caution: To prevent that this will damage R3403
and TS7443, first disable the HW-protection ofthe deflection circuit. Therefor short circuit C2642

– Use a variac, and slowly increase the VMAINS.
Measure over sensing resistors R3514//15 if a nice
sawtooth voltage becomes available.
– Also measure the VBAT . This may never exceed
+141 V. If it does, there is something wrong in the
feedback circuitry (e.g. regulator 7506).
•Note: Be careful when measuring on the gate of FET
TS7504. This circuitry is very high-ohmic and can easily
be damaged (first connect ground to measuring
equipment, than measure the gate).

Standby Supply with repair kit 3122 785 90320.

5.8.7Line Deflection
The simplest way is to replace the components of the Line
Deflection circuitry with repair kit 3122 785 90330.
5.8.8Frame Deflection
Caution: When the Frame Deflection circuitry is suspected,
one must be careful. Because there is a DC-voltage on the
frame deflection, the beam current could damage the CRT
neck, leading to a defective CRT.
Bestthingtodois:
1. Interrupt the resistors 3403 and 3404 on the CRT panel
(diagram F), in order to remove the ‘filament’ voltage
from the tube (no beam current, so no chance of
destroying the CRT).
2. Interrupt resistor 3403 on the LSP (diagram A4) to
disable the ‘SUP-ENABLE’ line.
3. Measure with a multimeter, or better with a oscilloscope,
the functionality of the Frame stage.
4. After you’ve found the cause, exchange the defective
component (e.g. TDA8177), and re-solder the
interrupted resistors.

In case the set does react on a local keyboard operation, you must check the

In ComPair, a beep test can determine where the signal stops (use
loudspeakers or headphone).
Possible cause is also the ‘PROT1’ protection (see diagram. A6). This is a
loudspeaker DC protection, which the µP can not sense. Via circuitry
7701/7707, this signal can put audio amplifiers 7700 and 7702 in standby mode

interrupted).
Re-align the ‘focus’ potmeter on the Line Output Transformer, or check the
SCAVEM circuitry on the CRT-panel (diagram F). It is also possible that the
DAF circuitry is defective (see diagram I). Check the Vdc values.
Maybe the crystals 1305 and/or 1308 are making a bad contact.
Investigate whether there is an error code present in the error buffer. In case
there is one, check the I
2
C-bus and/or supply lines (see overview supply lines).
Measure and check signal path Tuner-HIP-PICNIC-HOP-RGB amplifier.
In case it is a geometry issue, check opto-coupler 7482, OpAmps 7440/7450
and the Frame circuitry alignments or a possible corrupted NVM (7011).
Check functionality of PICNIC (7709), FALCONIC (7726) and/or field memories
(7714 and 7740). TS7726 and 7740 are suspected.
Check circuitry around IC7012.
Check circuitry around IC7007. Check also B61to B64 around µP on diagram
B5.
When no symptom or error code leads you to a specific circuitry, use the supply
lines overview (see chapter 6), for a quick scan of all supply lines.

Perform all electrical adjustments under the following
conditions:
•Power supply voltage: 230 V
/50Hz(± 10 %).
AC
•Connect the set to the mains via an isolation transformer
with low internal resistance.
•Allow the set to warm up for approximately 20 minutes.
•Measure the voltages and waveforms in relation to
chassis ground (with the exception of the voltages on the
primary side of the power supply).
Caution: never use the cooling fins / plates as ground.
•Test probe: Ri > 10 M
W, Ci < 20 pF.
•Use an isolated trimmer/screwdriver to perform the
alignments.
8.2Hardware Alignments
Method 2 (with oscilloscope)
In the frame-blanking period of the R, G and B signals applied
to the CRT, the ‘HOP’ video processor inserts a measuring
pulse with different DC levels. Measure the black level pulse
during the vertical flyback at the RGB cathodes of the CRT.
1. Go, via the MENU key, to the normal user menu, select
PICTURE, and set CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS to 0.
2. Activate the SAM.
3. Connect the RF output of a pattern generator to the
antenna input. Test pattern is a 'black' picture (blank
screen on CRT without any OSD info).
4. Set the channel of the oscilloscope to 50 V/div and the
time base to 0.2 ms. Use external triggering on the
vertical pulse (caution: use e.g. R3641 ,which is at the‘cold’ side!).
5. Ground the scope at the CRT panel (‘cold’ side) and
connect a 10:1 probe to one of the cathodes of the
picture tube socket (see diagram F).
6. Measure the cut off pulse during first full line after the
frame blanking (see Fig. 8-2). You will see two pulses,
one being the cut-off pulse and the other being the white
drive pulse. Choose the one with the lowest value, this is
the cut-off pulse.

IF AFC
Supply, via an external 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 system 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 veryimportant because this will disable the AFC algorithm).
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. This OSD
feedback can give 4 kind of messages:
Blend intensity
Use this alignment when you replace the microcontroller or
the HOP. It aligns the level of transparency of the menupicture 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 8 of connector 1298 of the
CRT panel and measure the Red output level.
4. Align the 'Blend intensity' parameter such, that the
blended signal is 65 % of the black-white amplitude. In
practice this is about 1.3 V (blended signal) versus 2 V
(full white signal).
5. The parameter can be adjusted in between 0 and 31.
Adjust Peak White Limiter
Enter value ‘4’ for all picture tubes.

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 frequency accuracy of your
service generator, connect it to a ‘good’ TV set and check it
with the 'Fine tune'-line.
Tuner AGC
1. Set the external pattern generator to a colour bar video
signal and connect the RF output to the aerial input. Set
the amplitude to 10 mV and set the frequency to 475.25
MHz.
2. Connect a DC multimeter between pin 1 and the
shielding of the Tuner (item 1200 on the LSP).
3. Adjust the ‘TUNER AGC’ value (default value is 25) with
the LEFT/RIGHT cursor keys until the voltage at pin 1 of
the tuner lies between 3.8 and 2.3 V.
4. ‘Store’ the alignment.

'Internal Test Pattern' only for the 'Vertical slope' alignment.
V. slope
This alignment is meant to align the zero crossing of the
frame deflection to the mechanical middle of the picture tube.
1. Set 'Test Pattern’ to ‘On' (read warning above).
2. Set the 'V. S-correction' value to ‘0’ all sets (the
boundary-stripes of the test pattern should be positioned
on the edge of the picture tube).
3. Align ‘V. slope’ (when aligning, the lower half of the
picture is blanked) such, that the middle line of the test
pattern is matched with the edge of the pattern transient
in the middle of the picture.
4. Push the 'MENU' button to return to the previous menu.

3. Repeat the 'H. amplitude' alignment if necessary.
8.4Option Settings
8.4.1Introduction
The microprocessor communicates with a large number of
2
I
C ICs in the set. To ensure good communication and to
make digital diagnosis possible, the microprocessor has to
know which ICs to address. The presence / absence of these
specific ICs (or functions) is made known via the option
codes.
You can set the ‘hardware related’ options via the SAM ‘Alignments’ - ‘Options’ or ‘Option Numbers’ menu.
You can set the ‘software related’ options via the SAM ‘Dealer Options’ menu .
After you have changed the option(s), save them via the
'Store' command.
The new option setting is only active after the TV is switched
OFF and ON again via the mains switch (the EAROM is then
read out again).
Note: In case the horizontal linearity in wide-screen mode is
out of tolerance, add a ‘DC-shift correction’ panel (3104 328
06230) to connector 1419 of the DAF-panel [ I ]. Be sure to
switch ‘off’ the set first.
On the DC-shift panel, cut diode 6433 for correction to the
right or diode 6432 for correction to the left.
Caution: never plug in a
not pre-aligned
module in a set !!!
East/west alignment
1. Use 'East/West Parabola' to align the vertical lines until
straight.
2. Use 'Upper East/West corner' to align the vertical lines in
the upper corners until straight.
3. Use '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. Use ‘Horizontal Bow' to correct the E/W parabola such,
that it becomes symmetrical. Default value is ‘31’.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 if necessary.
8.3.4'Super wide geometry' alignments (only for widescreen
sets)

somewhat misleading. We only need to set the following
values (if the normal geometry alignment has been
performed correctly):
1. For ‘V. shift’ use the default value 33.
2. For ‘V. amplitude’ use the default value 25.
3. ‘V. S-Correction’, enter value of 'normal geometry'

8.4.3Option numbers
Select this sub-menu to set all options at once (expressed in
two long numbers).
An option number (or ‘option byte’) represents a number of
different options. When you change these numbers directly,
you can set all options very fast. All options are controlled via
eight option numbers.
When the EAROM is replaced, all options will require a resetting. To be certain that the factory settings are reproduced
exactly, you must set both option number lines. You can find

9.1Introduction
The EM3 Europe is a higher specified chassis as the EM2
Europe. EM stands for Eco-MG, 3 for an indication that this
set is higher specified as the EM2E. So EM2E is a known
chassis with Digital Scan, EM3E is set with Natural Motion,
EM4E will be the EM3E set inclusive a Digital Reception
board. Differences between the EM3E versus EM2E:
– the start-up method is much more simple (no POR-bit
anymore)
– the set has an advanced Standby Power Supply,
including MOSFET-switches for making Semi-standby
(needed for Easylink and digital reception in future)
– added features as Natural Motion, EPG, LTP and
upgraded Auto-TV
– the sound amplifiers have symmetrical supply voltages
now. The IC is changed from TDA2616 to TDA7490
(class-D amplifier, needing very little cooling)
– the vertical amplitude hardware alignment is changed to
a software alignment via the SAM menu
– the vertical shift alignment is split into a hardware
software alignment (needed due to spread)
– the Frame drive signals from the HOP are symmetrical.
and
with dedicated (de) solder equipment for exchanging these
ICs.
In case one must replace a Flash-RAM or a Mask-ROM in the
field, the Dealer will receive always an up-to-date FlashRAM.
Warning: Be aware that half of the LSP-circuitry is 'hot',
including the deflection coils.
a
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. Similar with the
EM2E (but different as with the MG-chassis), the EM3E LSP
has a very large 'hot' part, including both deflection coils.
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 still is possible.
To achieve this, attention was paid to:
•The position of service test lands: most of them are at the
Tuner side.
•Accessibility (Tuner side). If there are still problems with
the accessibility, one can order an extension board (see
parts list).
•Clearance around surface mounted ICs (for replacing).
•Detailed diagnostics and fault finding is possible via
ComPair.
Attention: During the first 4 to 6 months of production, the
EM3E 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, however for both
solutions itmeans that Service Workshops must be equipped

MAINS
The Tuner (item 1200) 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.
Three SCART-connectors can be used:
– SCART1 is fully equipped,
– SCART2 is meant for VCR. Pin 10 is used for Easylink
and there is a possibility for Y/C in. The CVBS-out on pin
19 is meant for WYSIWYR (What You See Is What You
Record).
– SCART3 is a CVBS and audio L/R input.
The HIP delivers YUV and sync signals 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.
The ‘2fH features’-block in the diagram gives several options:
– for Digital Scan the PROZONIC is required
– for Natural Motion the FALCONIC is required.
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 for
TXT/OSD (from the
mP) 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 drivesignal for rotation.
Both deflection circuits are 'hot' and located on the LSP.They
are driven by the HOP. To make a galvanic separation, the
Line Drive is driven via transformer 5410 and the Frame
Drive via transformer 5621.The horizontal output stage
generates some supply voltages and the EHT-, focus- and
Vg2-voltages.
The RGB amplifiers on the CRT-panel are integrated in one
IC and are supplied with 200 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 (Multi-channel
Sound Processor) for IF sound detection, sound control and
source selection. Dolby decoding is also done by the MSP.
Amplification is done via a ‘class D’ integrated power
amplifier IC, the TDA7490.
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 +5V2STANDBY.
The NVM (Non Volatile Memory) is used to store the settings,
one Flash-RAM contains the set software, the other FlashRAM (7012) is for EPG and the DRAM is used for storing the
Teletext pages.
In EM3E there is a separate Standby Supply, in order to
reduce theStandby power consumption. During Standby, the

used to switch the Degaussing circuit. It is switched ‘on’ after
set start-up and switched ‘off’ by the
mP after 12 s.
The Main Supply, an SMPS that is based on the 'downconverter' principle, generates the 141 V (V

•After closing switch 'S', the current ID will increase linear
in time. The magnetic energy in the primary coilis directly
proportional with the self-inductance of the coil and
current ID (thus with the time the switch is closed). The
voltage polarity at the secondary winding is negative
(due to different winding direction), meaning that diode D
will block. Capacitor C will discharge via RL, U
decrease.
•Opening switch 'S' will generate a counter-e.m.f. in the
primary winding, trying to maintain current ID. Through
this the polarity of the secondary voltagewill inverse. The
magnetic energy, stored in the coil, will now be
transformed to the secondary side. Diode D will now
conduct, capacitor C will be charged and

The mains harmonic filter has 2 functions: to prevent that
high frequency signals (harmonics) are transferred into the
mains and to protect the set from lightning damage.
C2507 prevents that the high frequency signals, generated
by the set, are conveyed into the mains (it forms a shortcircuit).
In caseof a lightning surge between the 2phases (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 filter acts as a high resistance
=L * dI/dt), as a result of which the voltage across coil
(U
EMK
L5503/04 increases. A spark gap (1590) 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.
Resistor R3500 is used for limiting the inrush-current.
9.3.2Degaussing (diagram A1)
The 5V2 is present, as soon the set is switched 'on' via the
mainsswitch.Asthe‘DEGAUSSING’ signal from the
processor (OTC) is ‘low’, transistor 7528 will conduct and
relay 1550 is activated. Initially a considerable current will
flow, via PTC 3516, through the degaussing coil. The PTC
will heat up, resistance will rise and the current will decay
rapidly. The OTC makes the ‘DEGAUSSING’ signal ‘high’
after 12 s, which will switch the relay ‘off’.
9.3.3 Standby power supply (diagram A2)
Principle
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 EM3E (diagram A2): replace switch 'S'
by FET TS7102, coil L by L5101/L5100, diode D by D6111
and C by C2104.
– Time interval t0 - t1: After switching ‘on’ the TV-set, the
gate of MOSFET TS7102 will be high (max. 15 V due to
zener diode D6105). This will drive the FET into
saturation (U

The voltage across the co-coupled coil (1, 2) is also
positive and will keep the FET into conductivity via
C2101, R3103/3105/3102 and R3117 for some time.
The self-induction of the coil and the magnitude of the
supply voltage (+375 V) determine the slope of the
primary current. 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/

positive and will charge C2104 via D6111. All energy that

– 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,

the output voltage will decay. The maximum primary current

many ICs (e.g. OTC, Flash-RAM and DRAM) are fed with this

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 -15 V, D6106

The drive concept of the MOSFET TS7504 has changed

used to bridge the different voltage levels.

Switch to ‘Standby’ (via RC)
When the set is switched to 'Standby' mode via the Remote
Control, the Main supply is switched ‘off’ by the circuit around
TS7529 (see diagram A1).
During 'on'-state, the Main supply is fed with line pulses via
the ‘SUP-ENABLE’ line. They are rectified and smoothed via
D6517, D6516 and C2530 and fed to TS7529. Because they
are less than -13 V, this transistor is blocked. When these
pulses are stopped, TS7529 will be saturated and TS7502
will switch ‘off’. This will switch ‘off’ the Main supply.
Set to ‘On’ (via ‘SUP-ENABLE’)
Via the ‘STANDBY’ command from the OTC, the MOSFETS
7141 and 7131 are switched ‘on’. When the +5V and +8V are
sensed by the OTC, a command is given to the HOP to start
the drive (via I
2
C).
When this is sensed via the ‘SUP-ENABLE’ line (at the base
of line transistor TS7421), the main supply is switched ‘on’
via TS7529.
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.
For safety reasons, transistor TS7530 is added as a back-up
solution for TS7502. If B-E of TS7502 is shorted, TS7530
takes over its function.

9.4.1OTC
Introduction
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, software
controlled.
•I/O-ports for I
2
C, RC5/RC6, LED, and service modes.
•Error code generation.
Data Storage
The software for EM3E can be 2 MB (Megabyte).
It is possible to store 1200 TXT pages in IC7007. This is a
DRAM of 4 MBit and this IC is also used to store data of a
working set.
For EPG a Flash-RAM (7012) is used.
The Non Volatile Memory IC7011 is a 4 kB version
M24C32W6.
Power Supply
All ICs in this part are supplied with 3V3. For this voltage a
3V3 stabiliser is used (IC7005).
With the circuitry around TS7003 and 7004 (diagram B5) a
reset is generated to wake up the OTC (pin 74). During this
reset all I/O pins of the OTC are made ‘high’.

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’

The OTC will generate an error code to indicate what was

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.
•Slow (max. 100 kHz) hardware I

•Fast (max. 400 kHz) hardware I
used for all ICs.
•Separate short bus (called I
C-bus (called I C0),

Memory (NVM), to avoid data corruption.
9.4.3NVM
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.
9.5Tuner & IF (diagram A8 & B2)
The tuner is I2C controlled, and is capable of receiving off-air,
S- (cable) and Hyperband channels:
•Low44 - 156 MHz
•Mid156 - 441 MHz
•High141 - 865 MHz
2
The tuning is done via I
33 V. This voltage (V
of the standby supply, via D6134 and R3116//R3115 and a
33 V zener diode (D6200). The OTC, together with the HIP,
controls the tuning procedure. There is also automatic
switching for the different video systems.
The IF-filter is integrated in a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave)
filter. The type of this filter depends on the received
standard(s). There are two SAW filters: one for filtering
picture-IF and a second one for sound-IF. An extra filter
(5403), tuned at 40.4 MHz, is necessary for L/L’ sets (with6.5
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, it is possible that the AGC setting is
wrong. It is also possible that the AGC-setting is mis-aligned,
if the picture deforms with a perfect signal. Then the IF-circuit
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
C. The reference voltage on pin 9 is

adjusted via the service menu ‘IF AFC’. If the alignment is
correct, the displayed frequency in the installation menu is
the same as the applied frequency from a generator. The
external coil L5408 connected between pins 7/8 is used as
reference.
The demodulated IF-video signal is available at pin 10 of the
HIP. In this video signal, there is a rest of the sound carrier,
which is filtered out by the sound trap 1407.
Then the signal is again fed to the HIP on pin 12, where the
group delay is corrected, dependent on the standard that is
received.
The CVBS-signal is available at pin 13 for further processing
in the set. Via TS7322, the signal is supplied to EXT1
(monitor out) and again back into the HIP (pin 14) to the
source/record selection.
To realise Quasi Split Sound (QSS), the IF-signal is fed to the
HIP on pin 63/64 via SAW-filter 1405. The FM (or AM for Lnorm) -modulated signal is availableon pin 5 and is fed to the
audio demodulator MSP34xx (7651).
In the EM3E, the HIP TDA932xH is used, which contains the
following functions:
•IF demodulation.
•Group delay correction.
•AFC signal generation, used to track drifting transmitters.
•Sound carrier re-generation (SIF).
•AM demodulation.
•Sync acquisition, delivering H
•Switching off IF-filtering.
9.6.1Inputs
The HIP has various inputs:
•Full matrix switch with:
– 2 CVBS inputs
– 2 Y/C (or additional CVBS) inputs
– 1 CVBS front end input.
•Two RGB inputs and 2 status-inputs
The input signals from the Front I/O are fed to the HIP, and
front detection is 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.
•EXT3 is meant for CVBS input only.
9.6.2Outputs
One can select three, separate switchable, outputs:
•1 YUV-output, which 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).
9.6.3I/O Switching
and VA.
A
9.6.4P50
Easylink supports the next features:
•Signal quality and aspect ratio matching
•One touch play
•One touch text
•Pre-set download
•WYSIWYR
•Automatic Standby
With Easylink-Plus (P50+) is added:
•Country and language installation
•System Standby
•Intelligent set top box features
•NexTView download
•Timer record control
•VCR control feature
9.6.5Video Processing
The sandcastle-pulse of the HIP is not 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
pre-sets 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 multi-standard:
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. The original one may
only replace this crystal. 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 circuit is integrated; the HIP
delivers the HA
and VA50to the PICNIC.

9.7Video: Feature Box (PICNIC and FALCONIC,
diagram B3)
9.7.1Introduction
The basic function of the Feature box (FBX6) is picture
improvement, and depending on the version, several scan
conversion methods are possible. The PICNIC (SAA4978H)
is the central key component.
In the EM3E-chassis, the feature-box is integrated on the
SSB.
The PICNIC is used for the 100Hz conversion and has the
following functions:
•The ADC.
•The DAC.
•The 100 Hz conversion.
•Dual screen compression
•The Panorama mode.
•Automatic Aspect Ratio Adaptation (AARA)
•Colour Transient Improvement (CTI)
•The contrast improvement (Dynamic Contrast).
All these functions are integrated in one IC: SAA4978H, 160
pins QFP
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
9.7.2ADC/DAC
Analogue to Digital conversion is done with three identical 9bit 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
Page 49
Circuit Descriptions and Abbreviation List
GB 101EM3E9.
more detailed picture). These 9 bits are only internally used.
Via dithering the 9 bits are reduced to 8 bits and this data is
stored into memory. The data in the memory is fed back to
the PICNIC and via un-dithering the data is again reproduced
to 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. As the perception for colours by the human eye is
less sensitive as for luminance, this reduction is allowed.
9.7.3100 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.

For extra 100 Hz features, it is possible to add an extra IC to
the PICNIC. This IC, called the ‘Field And Line CONverter IC’
(FALCONIC), has three modes:
1. 100 Hz (to eliminate field flicker). Only one memory IC
(7714) is used to store one frame. It displays an AABB
sequence.
2. Digital Scan (to additional eliminate line flicker).
Together with two memory ICs (7714 and 7740), it
displays an AA’BB’ or ABAB sequence.
3. Natural Motion (to additional eliminate movement
juddering).
Together with two memory ICs (7714 and 7740), it
displays an AB’A’B sequence.
9.7.4Dual Screen Compression
The PICNIC can provide horizontal video compression up to
50 %. The compress mode can be used to display dual
screens with Teletext (only for wide-screen sets).

9.7.5The Panorama Mode
To fit 4:3 pictures into a 16:9 display, it is possible to apply a
panoramic horizontal distortion, to make a screen-fitting
picture without black sidebars or lost video.
The centre horizontal gain is programmable andthe side gain
is automatically adapted to make a screen-fit.
9.7.6Automatic 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 the black bars.
9.7.7Colour Transient Improvement (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.
9.7.8Dynamic 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 (25 x per second),
and digitally analyses where on the greyscale most of the
image is located.
If it is 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 is 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.
9.8Video: High-end Output Processor (HOP) and
TOPIC (diagram B4)
9.8.1General
The YUV-signals from the PICNIC are fed to the HOP (Highend Output Processor, TDA9330). The video and geometry
control parts are integrated in the HOP. Also the RGB-signals
for TXT/OSD (from the
geometry part delivers the H-drive, EW-drive, V-drive and
also a drive signal for rotation.
The main functions of the HOP are:
•Video control (contrast, brightness, saturation, etc.).
•Deflection drive.
•2nd RGB interface for OSD/TXT.
•Peak White Limiting.
•Cut-off control and White Drive (RGB outputs).
•Geometry control.
The TOPIC (The most Outstanding Picture improvement IC,
item 7302, type TDA9178), is an optional IC between the
PICNIC and the HOP. It has the following (picture
improvement) functions:
•Luminance Transient Processor (LTP), for detail
enhancement.
•Chrominance delay circuitry, to compensate timing
differences between Y and C.
•Spectral processor , for improved sharpness and colour
transient improvement (CTI).
•Colour vector processor, for skintone correction, green
enhancement and blue stretch.
•Measure and detection circuitry, for AutoTV.
mP), are inserted via the HOP. The
Page 50
GB 102EM3E9.
Circuit Descriptions and Abbreviation List
The sandcastle pulse from the HOP is fed to pin 1 of the
TOPIC, which is used as reference for timing.
9.8.2Video Control
After source selection, the HOP controls the signals for
Saturation, Contrast and Brightness. Output is RGB again.
9.8.3OSD/TXT Control
On pins 35 to 38 the RGB and fast blanking from the OTC
(OSD and TXT) are inserted. The sync signal V
derived from the ‘FRAMEDRIVE-“ signal.
9.8.4Peak White Limiting
On pin 43 there is a Peak White Limiting signal line (PWL). If
the beam current increases, the ‘EHT-info’ voltage will
decrease. Average limiting via R3343/C2333 controls PWL.
9.8.5Cut-off Control
The following will happen when you switch the TV to
Standby:
1. The vertical scan is completed.
2. The 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. The ‘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).
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 EM3E a 'one-point' cut-off control is used:
A current of 8
mA (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
cut-off voltage at a current of 8
mA. 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.
SYNC
)is
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. The EHT varies also dependent on the beam current.
For wide-screen without load this is 31.5 kV and with load
(1.5 mA) 29.5 kV.
Frame Rotation
For frame rotation, a control voltage is used from pin 25 of the
HOP. Frame rotation is only used in wide-screen sets.
9.8.8Protections
Flash detection
When a flash occurs, the EHT-info will become negative very
fast. Via R3316/D6304/D6303, TS7303 starts to conduct.
This makes pin 5 of HOP ‘high’. The output (pin 8) is
immediately stopped.
If the H-drive stops, then also pin 5 will become ‘low’ again,
which will reset the flash detection.
A bit (FLS) is set in an output status register, so that the OTC
can see that 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, it this detected via the HOP. The
OTC puts the TV into protection and reads a register in the
HOP. An error code is generated.
9.9Synchronisation (diagram B2, B3 & B4)
The HIP video processor provide the vertical and horizontal
sync pulses V
incoming CVBS signal. Then these pulses are fed to the
PICNIC, where they are doubled to be synchronous with the

Line Drive
The 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 HD
-pulse, which comes

from the PICNIC.
The 'PHI-2' part in the HOP receives the HFB_X-RAY_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.
Note: This is not used in the EM3E, therefore EHTcompensation in the SAM menu is put to zero.
Frame Drive
At pins 1 and 2 the symmetrical frame drive signals are
available. The V
signal, for synchronisation of the OSD/
SYNC
TXT, is derived from the ‘FRAMEDRIVE-‘ signal.

The HOP (located on the SSB) generates the line-drive
pulses (LINEDRIVE1), which have a frequency of 31250 Hz
(T = 32
ms).
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 the set is switched ‘on’,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 above
described sequence starts again. Circuit L5411 and R3409
will increase the switch ‘off’ timeofthelinetransistor.
Figure 9-9
The line stage is started via a 'slow start' principle. During
start-up, the HOP generates line drive pulses with a small
and a high frequency (50 kHz). T
T
ON
is constant and T
OFF
is gradually increased until the frequency is 31.25 kHz
(normal condition).
The time interval from start to normal condition takes about
150 ms.
When switching off, the same procedure is followed, but now
in reverse order.
9.10.2 Implementation
To explain the operation of the line output stage, we use the
following start conditions:
•C2433 is charged to max. 141 V (V
BAT
•TS7421 is driven into conductivity.

– Period t1 - t2: When TS7421 is driven into conductivity,
the capacitor voltage of 141 V, will be divided across
bridge-coil L5422 and the deflection coil (connector
0317). Dueto 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.
9.10.3 Corrections
Several corrections are necessary to obtain a correct picture.
Linearity Correction
A constant voltage across the horizontal deflection coil
should result in a linear increasing saw-tooth current. This is
not the case however, as the resistance of the coil is not
negligible. In order to compensate for this, a pre-magnetised
I
Defl
coil L5421 in series with the deflection coil is used. This coil
ensures that during time interval t1 - t3 the circuit resistance
t2 t3
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.
SeealsoFigure9-9-(*1).
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
is 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 is superimposed on 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.
SeealsoFigure9-9-(*2).
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
I
Defl
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 originates in the HOP and is supplied to
TS7480 via OpAmp 7450-B and optocoupler TS7482. The
shape of this signal determines the various geometric
correction parameters:
•H amplitude
•EW-parabola
•EW-corner
•EW-trapezium
•Horizontal parallelogram
•Horizontal bow
TS7480 will charge capacitor C2421 more or less, increasing
the deflection current when reaching the centre of the screen.
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 with the
following properties:
•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.

Beam-current Correction
The ‘EHT-info’ signal at point 10 of the LOT, depends on the
value of the beam-current and the voltage from divider
R3450, R3451 and C2450. This signal 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 EHT is
decreased. The ‘EHT-info’ is also used to correct the EWcurrent.
The ‘DYN-FASE-CORR’ signal, derived from the ‘EHT-info’
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
of the line transistor

The HOP drives the frame output stage with a symmetrical
saw-tooth voltage. As the HOP is 'cold' and the frame output
stage is 'hot', they are galvanic isolated. This is done via a
transformer (5621). As in the MG-chassis, the HOP
generates 3 signals needed for the frame output stage:
FRAMEDRIVE+, FRAMEDRIVE- and TILT (for rotation).
The rotation circuit is kept at the ‘cold’ side of the chassis, to
avoid the costs an extra optocoupler.
The circuit around IC7440 will amplify this signal and the
output current will flow through the rotation coil.
9.11.2 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
a coupling capacitor is not required.
During the (forward) scan, a supply of +13 and -15 V is
sufficient to respond to the slow changing current. The
internal flyback generator puts a voltage of -15 V on pin 3.
Because of the voltage drop over zener diode 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).
Figure 9-12

The amplifier IC (IC7620, pin 5) supplies the saw-tooth
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, R3626,
R3629 and C2629 form an extra damping circuit.
9.11.3 Protection circuits
Bridge Coil Protection
The secondary voltage of the bridge coil L5422, is guarded at
the diode modulator (D6421/6422) via a 10 V zener diode
(6499 on diagram A3). When the bridge-coil is working
properly, the average voltage on D6422 is such that this
zener diode will conduct. It will drive TS7652 into saturation.
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
is charged. Transistor TS7407 starts conducting and the
SUP-ENABLE signal is grounded via R3403. This will switch
‘off’ the main supply (see diagram A1).
Page 54
GB 106EM3E9.
Circuit Descriptions and Abbreviation List
Frame Output Protection
Via the circuit built around TS7641 the frame output stage is
guarded. If the frame output stage is working properly,
TS7641 andTS7652 will both conduct and thereby discharge
C2642. TS7407 is blocked, so the SUP-ENABLE signal is
‘high’.
If there are frame pulses missing, TS7641 will block and
capacitor C2642 is charged. Transistor TS7407 starts
conducting and the SUP-ENABLE signal is grounded via
R3403. This will switch ‘off’ the main supply (see diagram
A1).
ARC Protection
If there are ‘open’ connections (e.g. bad solder joints) in the
high energy
deflection circuitry, this can lead to damaging
effects (read: fire). For that reason, the E/W current is sensed
(via 3479//3480). If this current becomes too high, the
‘thyristor’ circuit (TS7653 and TS7654) is triggered. TS7442
is switched ‘on’ and TS7443 is forced into conduction. . The
‘SUP-ENABLE’ signal is shorted now to ground level, which
will force the Main Power Supply to Standby mode
9.12 Audio (diagram B6, A6 & A7)
9.12.1 Introduction
All EM3E sets contain one of ITT’s Multi-standard Sound
Processing (MSP) ICs for sound decoding. The diversity
arises because each member of the MSP-family handles its
own set of sound standards:
•MSP3411:Virtual Dolby decoding.
•MSP3412:Dolby ProLogic decoding.
Both versions also handle NICAM.
The MSP 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. However in case of
NICAM L, it 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, both versions are capable of Dolby
processing:
•The MSP3411can perform ‘Virtual Dolby’ processing (a
Dolby approved sound mode for surround sound
reproduction with left/right speakers only).

Following amplifier configurations are possible:
•Virtual Dolby, L/R, 2 x 15 W (88XX-series)
•3D Surround, L/R, Centre, Subwoofer, 4 x 15 W (95XX-
series).
9.12.2 Inputs / Outputs
Both versions can cover 4 stereo inputs and one AM (mono)
input. This means in practice: 3 SCART inputs, 1 side input
and 1 AM (mono) input.
Both versions have the following outputs: SCART1 (CVBS/
decoder out), SCART2 (record select/WYSIWYR out) and
headphone.
9.12.3 Source Selection
The constant level output to SCART2 is connected via a socalled 'Régimbeau' switch (IC7652) (see also Figure 9-13).
This switch is needed to prevent acoustic feedback (Larsen
effect). This effect is caused, when EXT2 is chosen as input
signal, and the output of SCART2 is selected. This means
that the main picture is also EXT2, which will cause the
Larsen effect.
To prevent this, the record select must be switched to
‘Tuner’. Thisis 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 MSP34XX has a separate headphone output, so sound
control be done separate from the speakers.
9.12.4 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.
Two demodulation channels can process this digital signal.
The first one is able to handle FM and NICAM signals. The
second one can handle FM and AM signals.
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.
9.12.5 Audio Processing
The sound processing in EM3E is completely done by the
MSP's:
•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, the MSP has a separate Headphone
output so separate sound control is possible.
Automatic Volume Levelling (AVL)
One of the features of the MSP-family is Automatic Volume
Limiting (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.
9.12.6 Audio Amplifier (diagram A6)
The audio amplifier is an integrated ‘class-D’ power amplifier
IC, the TDA7490. It delivers an output of 2 x 15 WRMS to 2
full range speakers. For the higher specified sets, a
subwoofer and centre speaker are easy to implement, by
adding a second amplifier.
Principle
Audio-power-amplifier systems have traditionally used linear
amplifiers, which are well known for being inefficient. In fact,
a linear Class AB amplifier is designed to act as a variable
resistor network between the power supply and the load. The
transistors operate in their linear region and the voltage that
is dropped across the transistors (in their role as variable
resistors) is lost as heat, particularly in the output transistors.
Class D amplifiers were developed as a way to increase the
efficiency of audio-power-amplifier systems.
The Class D amplifier works by varying the duty cycle of a
Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal.
By comparing the input voltage to a triangle wave, the
amplifier increases duty cycle to increase output voltage, and
decreases duty cycle to decrease output voltage.
The output transistors of a Class D amplifier switch from full
‘off’ to full ‘on’ (saturated) and then back again, spending very
little time in the linear region in between. Therefore, very little
power is lost to heat.
If the transistors have a low ‘on’ resistance R
voltage is dropped across them, further reducing losses.
The advantage of Class D is increased efficiency (= less heat
dissipation). Class D amplifiers can drive the same output
power as a Class AB amplifier using less supply current.
The disadvantage is the large output filter that drives up cost
and size. The main reason for this filter, is that the switching
waveform results in maximum current flow. This causes more
loss in the load, which causes lower efficiency.
An LC filter with a cutoff frequency less than the Class D
switching frequency (200 kHz), allows the switching current
to flow through the filter instead of the load. The filter is less
lossy than the speaker, which causes less power dissipated
at high output power and increases efficiency in most cases.

The supply voltage is a symmetrical voltage of +/- 16 V (or +/
- 19 V depending on the set execution), generated by the
main supply via L5512 (or L5506).
Mute
Sound-mute is done via the STBY-MUTE line connected to
pin 6 (tri-state input) of the amplifier IC. This line is activated
via the SOUND-ENABLE line (software controlled) and/or
POR line (hardware controlled).
This signal is inverted by TS7701 and/or TS7703, as a result
of which at a high level of the SOUND-ENABLE signal,
current is sinked from pin 2 and the IC mutes.
Protection
A loudspeaker DC protection is implemented. The amplifier
IC TDA7490 has a ‘standby-mute-play’ feature via the tristate input pin 6. When the voltage on pin 6 is:
•0-0.7V,theICisin‘standby’ mode
•1.7 - 2.5 V, the IC is in ‘mute’ mode
•4-5V,theICisin‘play’ mode (normal operation).
Note: this is a ‘local’ protection, not known to the
microprocessor.
This works as follows:
•During normal operation, V
is ‘low’ (0 V) and VYis ‘high’

(+5 V).
•When a positive DC-voltage is detected on a
loudspeaker output (= V

9.13.2 NexTView
NexTView allows the user to display a program guide on the
TV screen, that contains extensive information for each
program (only when supported by the programs provider).
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 orderto 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.
9.14 CRT / SCAVEM / Rotation (diagram F)
9.14.1 RGB Amplifiers
Principle
SCAVEM will improve the slope as follows:
At a positive slope, a SCAVEM current is generated which
supports the deflection current. At the first half of the slope,
the spot is accelerated and the picture is darker. 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 SCAVEM-current is zero at the end
of the slope.
Implementation
Via the three resistors R33358, R33359 and R3360, Red,
Green and Blue are added together, buffered and offered to
the emitter of 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 C2330, R3324 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, C2309, the SCAVEM-coil and TS7302.
9.14.3 Rotation
In sets with a rotation coil (wide screen sets), the amount of
frame rotation is adjusted with the DAC-output of the HOP
(see also 'Vertical Deflection').
9.15 Software Related Features
Following features are described:
•Auto TV
•‘Switch On’ Behaviour
9.15.1 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.
On the CRT panel, the RGB amplifier (TDA6108, IC7307) is
located. Via the outputs 7, 8 and 9 the cathodes of the picture
tube are driven.
The supply voltage for the amplifier is 200 V and is derived
from the LOT.
9.14.2 SCAVEM
The SCAn VElocity Modulation (SCAVEM) circuitry is
implemented in the layout of the picture tube panel. It is thus
not an extra module. This circuit influences the horizontal
deflection as a function of the picture content. In an ideal
square wave, the sides are limited in slope due to a limited
bandwidth (5 MHz).
The AutoTV feature integrates traditional picture
performance, AutoTV functionality and 'smart controls' in
order to come to a kind of 'super smart' 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
Page 57
Circuit Descriptions and Abbreviation List
GB 109EM3E9.
'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.
9.15.2 ‘Switch On’ Behaviour
Below find the start-up sequence:
1. After the power is applied, the 'Standby supply' starts
oscillating, generating the +5V2 (and +3V3). A RESET is
generated and the OTC is awakened.
2. Next step is the check whether the set needs to be in
‘Standby’ mode or not. Therefore, the NVM content is
read and the Standby-bit is checked. If the set is to stay
in Standby, there is no further action.
3. If the set will switches 'on', first the degaussing will be
activated (12 seconds). Meanwhile the MSP is reset and
the Standby line is pulled low, leading to a full semi
standby mode (5 V and 8V switched on)
4. The OTC waits until the +5V and the +8 V are fully
present. This is done by checking the AD-input of the
OTC. The +5V, +8V and I
activated.
5. The HOP is instructed via the I

6. During start-up of the deflection, I
, and the EHT generation can start.
BAT
C traffic must be
disabled for 250 ms to avoid data corruption. If flashes or
spikes are generated during EHT start-up, I
be disturbed or corrupted.
7. After deflection is powered up completely, all the other
protection-algorithms are activated. The black current
stabilisation loop in the HOP is switched on. Some extra
checking is done to ensure that the loops are completely
stabilised. The OTC sets all the necessary parameters
for a correct sound and image and unblanks the picture.
