Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2. Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2.1 Safety 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.

2.3 Warnings

• 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

2.2 Maintenance 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.

Safety & Maintenance instructions, Warnings and Notes

2.4 Notes

• 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.

the TV to Teletext Guide.

An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme

NEX

TV

IEW

is a new way of presenting

programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext.

With

then the TV will automatically

present the

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

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.

4.3.3 Small Signal Board (SSB)

In fact, there is no predefined service position for the SSB.
Most test points are located on the A-side (side that is facing
the tuner).
If you have to replace ICs, you must take the complete SSB
module out of the SIMM-connector.

To get access to the SSB test points, do the following:

1. Put the LSP in service position 1 (as described above).

2. Remove the fixation screw, which holds the SSB-bracket
[1].

3. Release the clamping jaw at the top of the SSB bracket
[2] and [3].

4. Push the two clamping lugs outwards, and pull the top of
the bracket at the same time upwards [4] and [5].

5. Now you can remove the complete bracket. Push it, at
the height of the LSP-bracket, towards the CRT [6] and
lift it out of the LSP-bracket [7].

Mechanical Instructions

1. Once you have taken out the SSB, remove the A-side
shielding [2]. Sometimes it is necessary to unsolder
some solder-tags first [1].

2. Now replace the SSB module in the SIMM-connector in
reverse order.

5.1 Test Points

The chassis is equipped with test points printed on the circuit
board assemblies. They refer to the diagram letters. The
numbering is in a logical sequence for diagnostics. Always
start diagnosing (within a functional block), in the sequence
of the relevant test points for that block.

Measurements are performed under the following conditions:

• Service Default Mode.

• Video: colour bar signal.

• Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.

5.2 Service Modes

Service Default Mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode
(SAM) offer several features for the service technician, while
the Customer Service Menu (CSM) is used for
communication between dealer and customer.

5.2.1 Service Default Mode (SDM)

5.2.3 Customer 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:

CUS TOMER SERV ICE MENU 0

• Line 0 - Type number (e.g. 28PW8807/12) This
information is very helpful for a helpdesk/workshop as
reference for further diagnosis. In this way, it is not
necessary for the customer to look at the rear of his TV­set.

By means of the 'CURSOR-DOWN' knob on the RC­transmitter the Customer Service Menu 1 will appear. By
means of the 'CURSOR-UP' knob on the RC-transmitter the
Customer Service Menu 0 will appear again.

starting point is a top quality signal on that input and a
number of settings are therefore changed automatically.
Change the digital source via the 'CURSOR LEFT' and
'CURSOR RIGHT' keys on the RC-transmitter after
opening the installation menu and selecting 'SETUP'.
The installation menu can be opened by pressing
'TIMER' and 'ENLARGE' at the same time.

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.

5.3 Problems 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’.

5.3.1 Picture 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
pressing 'timer' and 'enlarge' at the same time and perform
manual installation. Select ‘System; West Europe’.

Colours not correct/unstable picture

Check lines 17 'Colour System' and 18 'TV System'. In case
line17is‘SECAM’ and line 18 is ‘BG’, the installed system
for this pre-set is ‘West Europe’, while ‘France’ 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; France’.

• Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain
extends. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide
you through the faultfinding tree by asking you questions
(e.g.

Does the screen give a picture? Click on the correct

answer: YES / NO

) and showing you examples (e.g.

Measure test-point I7 and click on the correct oscillogram
you see on the oscilloscope

). You can answer by clicking
on a link (e.g. text or a waveform picture) that will bring
you to the next step in the faultfinding process.

By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.

Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional
features like:

• Up- or downloading of pre-sets.

• Managing of pre-set lists.

• Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool (DST).

• If both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service

Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs
of the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example:

Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568
(Schematic/Panel) at the Monocarrier. Click on the
‘Panel’ hyperlink to automatically show the PWB with a
highlighted capacitor C2568. Click on the ‘Schematic’
hyperlink to automatically show the position of the
highlighted capacitor

.

5.4.1 Introduction

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.

5.4.2 Specifications

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
ComPair can access the I
ComPair can send and receive I

5.4.3 Stepwise 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.

5.4.4 How 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.

5.5 Error Buffer

5.5.1 Introduction

The error code buffer contains all detected errors since the
last time the buffer was erased. The buffer is written from left
to right. 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.

5.5.2 How to Read the Error Buffer

Use one of the following methods:

• On screen via the SAM (only if you have a picture).
Examples:

– ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0 : No errors detected
– ERROR:60000:Errorcode6isthelastandonly

detected error

– 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.

5.5.3 How 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.

5.5.4 Error 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.

5.6 The Blinking LED Procedure

5.6.1 Introduction

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,

5.6.2 How 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.

5.7 Protections

5.7.1 Introduction

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).

GB 30 EM3E5.

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.

There are several types of protections:

• I

C related protections.

• OTC related protections (via polling on I/O pins or via
algorithms).

• HOP related protections (mainly for deflection items).

• Hardware errors that are not sensed by the OTC (e.g.

BRIDGECOIL_PROT, NON_VFB, ARC_PROT).

All protections are explained below.

5.7.3 OTC 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.

5.7.4 HOP 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.

5.7.5 Hardware 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.
