Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes
2.Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes
2.1Safety Instructions
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
•Connect the Receiver box to the mains via an isolation
transformer.
•When you use the Receiver box in combination with a
plasma monitor, do not operate the monitor without the
front glass plate. One function of this glass plate is to
absorb IR radiation. Without this glass plate, the level of
radiation could damage your eyes.
•Safety components, indicated by the symbol , must be
replaced with original components.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, you must return
the set in its original condition. Pay particular attention to the
following points:
•Route the wire trees in their original positions and fix them
in place with the mounted cable clamps.
•Check the insulation of the mains lead for external
damage.
•Check the electrical DC resistance between the mains plug
and the secondary side (only for sets which have an mains
isolated power supply):
– 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 MOhm and 12 MOhm.
– Set the mains switch to the "off" position, and remove
the wire between the two pins of the mains plug.
•Check the cabinet for defects, to prevent the customer from
touching any inner parts of the television set.
2.2Warnings
•All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD symbol ). Careless
handling during repair can reduce life drastically. Make
sure that, during repair, you are connected with the same
electrical potential as the set by a wristband with
resistance. Keep components and tools at this same
potential. Available ESD protection equipment:
– Complete ESD3 kit (small tablemat, wristband,
connection box, extension cable and earth cable):
4822 310 10671.
– Wristband tester: 4822 344 13999.
•Be careful while taking measurements in the live voltage
section.
•Never replace modules, or other components, with the
television set "'ON."
•Use plastic tools, instead of metal tools, when performing
alignments on the television set. This will help prevent
short circuits and reduce the danger of a circuit becoming
unstable.
stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated otherwise)
and picture carrier at 61.25 MHz (NTSC).
•Where necessary, measure the oscillograms and direct
voltages with (symbol ) and without (symbol ) aerial
signal. Measure the voltages in the power supply section
both in normal operation (symbol ) and in standby
(symbol ). These values are indicated by means of the
appropriate symbols.
•The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in
the parts lists, are interchangeable position with the
semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type
indication on these semiconductors.
2.3.2 Schematic Notes
•All resistor values are in ohms and the value multiplier is
often used to indicate the decimal point location (e.g. 2K2
indicates 2.2 kOhm).
•Resistor values with no multiplier may be indicated with
either an 'E' or an 'R' (e.g. 220E or 220R indicates 220
Ohm).
•All Capacitor values are expressed in Micro-Farads (µ =
-6
x10
), Nano-Farads (n = x10-9), or Pico-Farads (p = x10
12
).
•Capacitor values may also use the value multiplier as the
decimal point indication (e.g. 2p2 indicates 2.2 pF).
•An 'asterisk' (*) indicates component usage varies. Refer to
the diversity tables for the correct values.
•The correct component values are listed in the Electrical
Replacement Parts List. Therefore, always check this list
when there is any doubt.
2.3.3 Practical Service Precautions
•It makes sense to avoid exposure to electrical shock.
While some sources are expected to have a possible
dangerous impact, others of quite high potential are of
limited current and are sometimes held in less regard.
•Always respect voltages. While some may not be
dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected
reactions - reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching
into a powered TV set, it is best to test the high voltage
insulation. It is easy to do, and is a good service precaution.
•Before powering up the TV set with the rear cover off
(or on a test fixture), attach a clip lead to the CRT DAG
ground and to a screwdriver blade that has a well insulated
handle. After the TV is powered on and high voltage has
developed, probe the anode lead with the blade, starting at
the case of the High Voltage Transformer (flyback - IFT).
Move the blade to within two inches of the connector of the
CRT.
If there is an arc, you found it the easy way, without
getting a shock!
If there is an arc to the screwdriver blade, replace the part
that is causing the problem: the High Voltage Transformer
or the lead (if it is removable).

2.3Notes
2.3.1General
•Measure the direct voltages and oscillograms with regard
to the chassis ground (symbol ), or hot ground
(symbol ).
•The direct voltages and oscillograms shown in the
diagrams are indicative. Measure them in the Service
Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a colour bar signal and

2. Service Modes
3. Problems and Problem Solving Tips (related to CSM).
4. ComPair
5. Error Codes
6. Protections
7. Repair Tips
5.1Test Points
5.1.1General
Perform measurements under the following conditions:
•Set in Service Default Mode.
•Video: Colour bar signal, received via the internal tuner.
•Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.
Exceptions (when using external sources):
•Set in Service Default Mode (SDM).
•Video: If using a DVD player, use a "live" picture. If using a
VGA source, use a picture of your choosing.
•Audio: You can use a service generator, or the audio from
the DVD player or VGA source.
5.1.2Waveforms
The chassis is equipped with test points printed on the circuit
board assemblies. Test points are displayed in two different
ways:
•The old method, still in use for re-used circuits (like the
Small Signal Panel, the Double Window Panel, and the
Feature Box), refers to the functional blocks. The test
points have names starting with I for IF, S for sound, etc.
The numbering is in a logical sequence for diagnostics.
•The new method, used for new circuits, uses service test
points that are recognizable as tagged Fxxx points. With
this method, factory test points are published (F-points are
functional test points, I-points are test points for in-circuit
testers in the factory. All these test points are on the copper
side. When the test point is a service test point, it is tagged
for recognition.
Not all test points have been measured, but they can serve as
identification names in Service communication (for example,
ComPair fault find trees, Searchman files).
In the following cases, there will also be no waveform:
•When a Vdc voltage is displayed in the diagrams, or when
the waveform does not have an additional value.
•When the sources are not easy accessible for the Service
engineer (for example, VGA source).
•External AV inputs are not measured, since the waveform
is equal to the source (dependent of load resistor
matching).
5.1.3DC voltages
The DC voltages are measured at practically all semiconductor
pins. These values are displayed in the circuit diagrams. If a DC
value is displayed between brackets then this value is
measured in "standby" mode.
Note: DC voltages are also measured on the connectors.
5.2Service Modes
There is also the option of using ComPair, a hardware interface
between a computer (see requirements) and the FTV chassis.
It offers the ability of structured troubleshooting, a test pattern
generation, error code reading, software version readout, and
software upgrading. (Software upgrading is not available for all
chassis)
Minimum requirements for ComPair: a Pentium Processor,
Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/ME, and a CD-ROM drive (see
"ComPair" section).
5.2.1Service Default Mode (SDM)
Purpose
•To create a pre-defined setting to get the same
measurement results as given in this manual.
•To override SW protections (only when SDM is entered via
the “service pins” on SSP connector 0356).
•To start the "blinking LED" procedure.
Specifications
•Tuning frequency: 475.25 MHz for PAL/SECAM (the
source is displayed on the screen)
•Colour system: SECAM L for France and PAL B/G for the
rest of Europe.
•All picture settings at 50 % (brightness, colour, contrast).
•Bass, treble and balance at 50 %; volume at 25 %.
•All service-unfriendly modes (if present) are disabled. The
service unfriendly modes include:
– Sleep timer.
– Smart modes.
– On Timer.
– Child lock.
– Black mute.
How to enter SDM
To enter SDM, use one of the following methods:
•Press the following key sequence on the remote control
transmitter: 062596 directly followed by MENU.
•Short pins 2 and 3 on connector 0356 of the SSP (the two
pins that are nearest to the rear panel) while the set is in
the normal operation mode.
Caution: Entering SDM by this method will override all
processor-controlled protections. When doing this, the service
technician must know exactly what he is doing, as this could
damage the set.
•Use the Dealer Service Tool (DST) emulation feature of
ComPair.
After entering SDM, a blank screen is visible, with "Service
Default" in the upper part for recognition. The “blinking LED”
procedure is started and will indicate any possible errors via the
front LED.
How to navigate in SDM
To toggle to the SAM mode, press the following key sequence
on the remote control transmitter: 062596 directly followed by
OSD (i+).
How to exit SDM
Switch the set to STANDBY by pressing the POWER button on
the remote control transmitter (if you switch the set OFF by
disconnecting the mains cable, the set will remain in SDM
when mains is reapplied).
Service Default Mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode
(SAM) offer several features for the service technician, while
the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication
between the servicer and the customer.

changes before exiting SAM for those changes to take
effect.
•FUNCTIONAL TEST. Activate this test by pressing the
"OK" key on the remote control transmitter. Eventual errors
are displayed in the error buffer. The error buffer is not
erased, although it looks that way. By exiting SAM and then
entering SAM again, you will see the error buffer still
contains the previous contents.
How to navigate in SAM
Use one of the following methods:
•In SAM, select menu items with the "Cursor Up/Down"
keys on the remote control transmitter. The selected “ball”
item is highlighted and becomes a “puck” (blue becomes
yellow). When not all menu items fit on the screen, this is
shown by two "ball" figures overlapping. Use the " Cursor
Up/Down " keys to display the next / previous menu
item(s).
•With the "Cursor Left/Right" keys, it is possible to:
– (De)activate the selected menu item.
– Change the parameter of the selected menu item
(some times through a "slider" entry)
– Activate the selected submenu.
•To toggle to the SDM mode, press the following key
sequence on the remote control transmitter: 062596
directly followed by MENU.
Note: SAM is exited when the MENU button on the remote
control transmitter is pressed once. If SAM is exited
accidentally, you have to enter the SAM mode again to perform
SAM alignments and adjustments.
How to exit SAM
To exit SAM, press the MENU button on the remote control
transmitter once.
5.2.3 Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
The Customer Service Mode shows error codes and
information on the Flat TV operation settings. The servicer can
instruct the customer to enter CSM by telephone and read off
the information displayed. This helps the servicer to diagnose
problems and failures in the Flat TV set before making a
service call.
The CSM is a read-only mode; therefore, modifications are not
possible in this mode.
How to enter CSM
To enter CSM, use one of the following methods:
•Press the MUTE button on the remote control transmitter
and the MENU button on the local keyboard
simultaneously for at least four seconds.
•An alternative CSM entry method is to press the following
key sequence on the remote control transmitter: 123654.
Page 31
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
EN 31F21RE AB5.
Do not allow the display to time out between entries while
keying the sequence. The disadvantage of this method is
that the selected source is changed, due to the key
sequence. Therefore, the first method is preferred.
Upon entering the Customer Service Mode, the following
screen will appear:
Customer Service Menu 1
•SET TYPE. This allows the customer to view the
(commercial) type number of the Receiver box, without
looking at the bottom of this box. This information can be
very helpful when talking with the service technician.
•AG NBR. First some explanation for understanding. On the
type plate of the E-box (bottom), you can see a PROD. NO:
AG-code (e.g. AG000312 xxxxxx): AG00 is a production
code, 0312 means production year 2003, week 12 and
xxxxxx is the series number of the set. On this screen line,
you can read the AG-code of the Receiver box, without
looking at the bottom of the E-box. This information can be
very helpful when talking with a dealer or Philips Customer
Care Centre (P3C). Currently this line is not filled in. At the
moment, you will see: **0000.... It will be implemented in
the future.
•SW VERSION. Indicates the software version
(AAAABC_X.Y_xxxxx) of the box.

5.3Problems and Solving Tips (Related to CSM)
5.3.1 Picture Problems
Note: The problems described below are related to the TV
settings (customer settings). The procedures to change the
parameters (or status) of the different settings are described.
Snowy/noisy picture
Check the NOISE FIGURE line. If the value is 127 or higher
and is also high on other programs, check the aerial cable/
aerial system.
Picture too dark
•Press the "Smart Picture" button on the remote control
transmitter. If the picture improves, increase the brightness
value or increase the contrast value. The new value(s) are
automatically stored for all TV channels.
•If the picture improves after entering CSM, increase the
brightness value or increase the contrast value. The new
value(s) are automatically stored for all TV channels.
•Check the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST lines. If the
value of BRIGHTNESS is low (<15) or the value of
CONTRAST is low (<15), increase the brightness value or
increase the contrast value.
Picture too bright
•Press the "Smart Picture" button on the remote control
transmitter. If the picture improves, reduce the brightness
value or reduce the contrast value. The new value(s) are
automatically stored for all TV channels.
•If the picture improves after entering CSM, reduce the
brightness value or reduce the contrast value. The new
value(s) are automatically stored for all TV channels.
•Check BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST. If the value of
BRIGHTNESS is high (>60) or the value of CONTRAST is
high (>75), reduce the brightness value or increase the
contrast value.
Fading picture
Digital scan effect. Check the DNR line. The status of DNR is a
value between 0 and 100. There is no practical way to explain
the significance of this value. If the picture is fading, adjustment
of the DNR level may help. The DNR level can be adjusted by
the following navigation route: "Menu" - "Picture" - "DNR".
There are four different selectable levels.
White line around picture elements and text
•Press the "Smart Picture" button on the remote control
transmitter. If the picture improves, reduce the sharpness
value. The new value(s) are automatically stored for all TV
channels.
Page 33
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
EN 33F21RE AB5.
•If the picture improves after entering CSM, reduce the
sharpness value. The new value(s) are automatically
stored for all TV channels.
•Check the SHARPNESS line. If the value is too high,
reduce the sharpness value. The new value(s) are
automatically stored for all TV channels.
Black picture and/or unstable picture
Improper signal is being received. Check the NOISE FIGURE
line. If the value is higher then 127, the signal is suspect. Check
your cable or aerial signal.
Black and white picture
Check the COLOUR line. If this value is low (<30), increase the
"Colour" value. The new value(s) are automatically stored for
all TV channels.
Menu text not sharp enough
•Press the "Smart Picture" button on the remote control
transmitter. If the picture improves, reduce the contrast
value. The new value(s) are automatically stored for all TV
channels.

all TV channels.
•Check the VOLUME line. If the value is high, reduce the
"Volume" value. The new value(s) are automatically stored
for all TV channels.
5.4ComPair
5.4.1Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development of the DST (special remote control transmitter for
service), which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics.
ComPair has three big advantages:
ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how to
repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you systematically
through the repair procedures.
ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I2C level) and is
therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas. You
do not have to know anything about I2C commands yourself
because ComPair takes care of this.
ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can automatically
communicate with the chassis (when the microprocessor is
working) and all repair information is directly available. When
ComPair is installed together with the Force electronic manual
of the chassis being serviced, 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 product. The
ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial or
RS232 cable.
With the F21R Receiver box, the ComPair interface box and
the Receiver box communicate via a bi-directional infrared link.
The ComPair faultfinding program is able to detect and
diagnose problems occurring in the product. ComPair can
gather diagnostic information in two ways:
•Automatic (by communication with the Receiver box):
ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the
entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I2C level. ComPair
can access the I2C bus of the Receiver box. ComPair can
send and receive I2C commands to the microprocessor of
the Receiver box. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to
communicate (read and write) to devices on the I2C
busses of the Receiver box.
•Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the microprocessor of the
Receiver box is working correctly, and only to a certain
extent. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you
through the faultfinding tree by asking you questions (for
example, Does the screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES / NO), and showing you examples (for
example, Measure test point I7 and click on the oscillogram you see on the oscilloscope). The servicer can answer by
clicking on a link (for example, 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 and 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:
•Uploading or downloading of presets.
•Management of preset lists.
•Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool (DST).
•If both ComPair and the Force electronic service manual
are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of the
product are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568
(Schematic/Panel) at the SSP.
– Click on the "Panel" hyperlink to automatically show
the PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
– Click on the "Schematic" hyperlink to automatically
show the electronic position of the highlighted
capacitor.
5.4.3How to Connect ComPair
1. First, install the ComPair Browser software on your PC
(read the installation instructions carefully).
2. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial
(COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked
"PC") of the ComPair interface.
3. Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector
(marked "POWER 9V DC") on the ComPair interface.
4. Switch the ComPair interface OFF.
5. Switch the Receiver box OFF (and remove the mains).
6. Point the ComPair interface to the Service send-LED
(behind the cover) on the front of the Receiver box.
Page 34
EN 34F21RE AB5.
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
7. Plug the mains adapter in an mains outlet and switch on the
ComPair interface. The green and red LEDs light up
together. The red LED turns off after approximately 1
second, while the green LED remains lit.
8. Start the ComPair program and read the "introduction"
chapter.
Under normal circumstances, a fault in the power supply, or an
error during start-up, will switch the television to protection
mode. ComPair can take over the initialisation of the television.
In this way, it is possible to distinguish which part of the startup routine (hence which circuitry) is causing the problem.
Stepwise start-up explanation
This is realised via ComPair and is very helpful when a
protection is activated (see also paragraph "Protections").

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 LED). The set will not leave the stepwisemode however. By stepping down, the set can be activated
again, until state X where the protection was activated. At state
(X-1) diagnostic measurements can be performed.
5.5Error Codes
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.
5.5.1 How to Read the Error Buffer
It is possible to read out the error buffer in three ways:
•On the screen while in Service Alignment Mode (SAM). If
there is a picture, this is the easiest way to read the error
buffer. In the SAM main menu, the last 10 error codes,
which have occurred, are displayed. The most recently
detected error code is displayed on the left side. Examples:
– 003 000 000 000 000: error code 3 is the last and only
detected error.
– 002 003 000 000 000: error code 3 was detected first
and error code 2 is the last detected (newest) error.
•With the CODE 1 and CODE 2 lines in CSM.
•With ComPair.
5.5.2 How to Clear the Error Buffer
It is possible to clear the error buffer in two ways:
•By selecting the item "reset Error Buffer" in the SAM main
menu.
•By pressing the following key sequence on the remote
control transmitter: MUTE - 062599 - OK.
Note: When the error buffer is full (10 codes), no new errors
can be stored. The set monitors how long every error is stored
in the error buffer. If a false error is in the buffer, it will be
deleted after 50 hours. If an actual error is in the error buffer, it
will be written to the buffer again after 50 hours. This is a
safeguard to ensure that the history of the error codes is stored.
To help ensure that you are not reading false error codes, you
may want to record the contents of the error buffer, reset the
buffer, and see which error codes are generated again by the
set.

5.5.3Error Codes
If the set has non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer
before you begin the repair. This to ensure that old error codes
are no longer present.
If possible, check the entire contents of the error buffer. In
some situations, an error code is only the result of another error
code and not the actual cause of the problem (for example, a
fault in the protection detection circuitry can lead to a
protection).

5.6Protections
The microprocessor (OTC) of the F21R Receiver box 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 Standby
circuitry.
Therefore, in both "Power on" as in "Standby" mode, the
microprocessor is connected to this power supply. The
microprocessor controls the "Standby" line for switching "on"
and "off" the main supply. In the standby mode, or in the
protection mode, the "Standby" line will open the contacts of
relay 1400 (diagram PS) via T7401, which results in switching
"off" the mains input to the main supply.
We can divide the chassis protections in two groups:
1. I2C protections: from I2C-busses (fast and slow) or I2C-IC
errors (device errors).
2. OTC input protections.
5.6.1I2C Protections
During normal operation, some registers of the I2C controlled
ICs are refreshed every 200 milliseconds. During this
sequence, the three I2C busses and the I2C ICs will also be
checked.
Possible protections:
•I2C bus protections. This will take place if the SDA and
SCL are short-circuited to ground or to each other.
•I2C device protections. This can occur when there is a
malfunction in the communication with one specific device,
or if the power supply of the device is missing.
•FBX and/or Tuner circuitry protection. If one of these
circuits does not respond for more than 1 second
Page 36
EN 36F21RE AB5.
(measured via I2C), the Receiver box goes into protection
mode.
5.6.2OTC Input Protections
If a protection is detected at an input of the OTC, all protection
inputs of the OTC will be scanned every 200 milliseconds five
times. If the protection on one of the inputs is still activated after
1 second, then the set will go into protection mode.
Possible protections:
•8V6 and 5V2 protection. The presence of the 8V6 and
5V2 is sensed by the OTC. If the 8V6 and/or 5V2 are/is not
present, then an error code is stored in the error buffer.
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
5.7Repair tips
5.7.1How to Deal with a "TV configuration" Situation
It is not easy to access the CSM menu without the
accompanying plasma monitor. Therefore, it is best to retrieve
this information while you still have the complete configuration.
Depending on the fault, the problem may be easily solved.
However, if this is not the case, some of the data recorded
could assist you in the repair.
5.7.2How to Deal with a "Receiver Box Only" Situation
Without the accompanying plasma monitor, the Receiver box
will go into Standby mode after a few seconds (this monitor
detection is designed to prevent Philips Receiver boxes from
being used with other brands of monitors).
This detection can be overridden in the following way (to use,
for example, a PC monitor):
•Enter the SAM-mode via ComPair (using the "align" key of
the DST simulation mode), or through the HW intervention
of connector 0356 on the SSP (pins 2 and 3). The set will
now operate in SDM. Then short pins 1 and 2 to enter SAM.
•Via navigation in the SAM menu and selecting, you must
follow the this route: "Service Options" - "Miscellaneous" "Stand-alone".
•Toggle "No" to "Yes" and store this change (this means that
a bit is changed in the NVM).
•Now the Receiver box can operate with any monitor (for
example, a PC monitor).
•The Service technician can now perform the diagnosis and
repair (the CSM menu can also be accessed now).
•When the problem is solved, the Stand-alone option bit
should be reset to "No", to return the set to the original
setting.
5.7.3Miscellaneous Tips/Remarks
•Sometimes, when there is an NVM related error/problem
and the set does not want to start up, it can be helpful to
start the set without the NVM (IC7008 on the IC holder on
the SSP). You can see OSD on the monitor, for a short
time, so you can conclude that much of the circuitry is
working fine.
•If an empty EAROM (permanent memory) is detected, all
settings are set to pre-programmed default (standard)
values.
•To overrule the childlock PIN code, use code "0711".
•When the user settings related to optimal picture and
sound performance are in doubt, one can restore the
default factory settings via: "Settings" - “General” - "Reset
AV settings", and pressing the "OK" key on the remote
control transmitter. This may help correct an incorrect user
setting faster, since the starting point is more clearly
defined (for example, the set will leave the factory with
"DNR" on medium, "Dynamic Contrast" on medium, and
"Sharpness" on 4, etc)..

•The Service Default Mode (SDM) and Service Alignment
Mode (SAM) are described in chapter 5. Menu navigation
is done with the CURSOR UP, DOWN, LEFT AND RIGHT
keys of the remote control transmitter.
•Figures below can deviate slightly from the actual product,
due to different set designs.
8.1General Alignment Conditions
Perform all electrical alignments under the following conditions:
1. Tune to a checker board test pattern (system PAL B/G with
a carrier frequency of 475.25 MHz).
2. Connect an oscilloscope to pin 19 (CVBS out) of the
SCART1 connection and trigger line frequent.
3. Align the coil L5103 (diagram K1) completely downwards
(see figure "SSP topview").
4. Align the coil upwards untill under- and overshoot arise at
the black/white and white/black transitions in the video
signal (see figure "Waveform sound trap alignment").
5. Align the coil downwards again, untill above mentioned
under- and overshoot just disappears.

8.3Software Alignments
Notes:
•Alignments are stored automatically
•Dealer option settings are stored automatically
•Service option settings must be stored with the STORE
OPTIONS item in the top level SAM menu. It is not
necessary to turn the receiver box OFF and back ON in
order to store the values in NVM.
Put the set in SAM mode (see chapter 5). Now you can select
the following alignments:
1. GENERAL:
–LUMA GAIN
–IF AFC
–IF LPRIME AFC
– TUNER AGC
– BLEND INTENSITY
– FBX TEST PATTERN
2. DRIVE:

IF AFC
Connect the RF output of a video pattern generator to the
antenna input.
From the generator, supply a PAL B/G TV signal with a signal
strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 475.25 MHz.
Alignment procedure:
1. Go to the INSTALL menu.
2. Select MANUAL INSTALLATION.
3. Tune the TV-set to the system and frequency described
above via SEARCH - 475.00 - OK.
4. If the frequency shown in the FINE TUNE line (after the
SEARCH is completed) is between 475.18 MHz and
475.31 MHz, you do not need to realign the IF AFC.
Page 82
EN 82F21RE AB8.
Electrical Alignments
5. If the frequency lies outside this range, adjust the
frequency in the FINE TUNE line to 475.25 MHz and
STORE the program (this is very important because this
will disable the AFC algorithm).
6. Navigate to the SAM main menu and select ALIGNMENTS
- GENERAL - IF AFC.
7. During the IF AFC parameter adjustment, there is OSD
feedback at the top of the screen.
8. This OSD feedback will contain one of four messages:
Table 8-1 AFC Alignment feedback
AFC-window AFC-frequency versus reference
OutHigh
InHigh
*In**Low*
OutLow
The first item (IN or OUT) informs you whether you are in or out
of the AFC window. The second item (HIGH or LOW) informs
you whether the AFC frequency is too high or too low.
1. Adjust the IF AFC parameter until the first value is within
the AFC window (= IN).
2. Next, adjust the IF AFC parameter until the second value is
LOW.
3. After adjustment, STORE the value.
4. Return to the INSTALL menu.
5. Select MANUAL INSTALLATION - SEARCH - 475.00 - OK
and STORE. This will turn the AFC algorithm 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.
You can also use this pattern as a picture generator for the Flat
TV plasma monitor (for example, for checking cell defects,
interpretation of the ADC/DAC converters, etc).
Important: Be sure to set this pattern to OFF again when it is
no longer needed, since it will not be automatically disabled
when SAM is exited.
8.3.2DRIVE Alignments
TEST PATTERN
The TEST PATTERN is not really needed for the alignment of
the Receiver box. It can be used in the TV configuration as a
test pattern to align the white colour temperatures of the
monitor. However, the monitor itself (as a stand alone unit) can
also be aligned in other ways (described in the Service Manual
of the TV monitor).
RGB Output Amplitude Adjustment
1. Load the RGB output (sub-D connector AV303) of the
Receiver box with a TV monitor (or match RGB output lines
with 75 ohm resistors, if no monitor is available), and
measure the outputs with an oscilloscope.
2. Apply an artificial white CVBS signal (1 V_pp white-to-topsync, with a 0.3 V sync amplitude) to the external 2 input.
3. Set LUMA GAIN to a value of "3" (via the SAM menu
ALIGNMENTS - GENERAL).
4. Set RED, GREEN, and BLUE to "24" (via the SAM menu
ALIGNMENTS - DRIVE).
5. Set RED BL OFFSET and GREEN BL OFFSET to "7".
6. Adjust the gain (with the RED, GREEN, and BLUE slider
bars) until the oscilloscope-measured values for R, G, and
B are 700 mV ± 10 mV with respect to the front porch of the
signal.
IF LPRIMEAFC
Same procedure as described above but with other signal
source (SECAM L').
TUNER AGC
Connect the RF output of a video pattern generator to the
antenna input.
From the generator, supply an PAL B/G TV signal with a signal
strength of approximately 2 mV and a frequency of 475.25
MHz.
Measure the DC voltage on pin 1 of the Tuner (item 1102). You
can adjust this voltage by adjusting the TUNER AGC item in the
SAM menu. Alignment is correct when the DC voltage is just
below 3.8 V.
BLEND INTENSITY
This adjustment aligns the level of transparency of the menu
display that is blended into the main display. Use this alignment
when the main microprocessor or the HOP IC is replaced.
1. Set the BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, and COLOR values
(in the PICTURE menu) at the midpoint.
2. Using a video pattern generator, apply a signal with a
100% white video pattern to the set.
3. Connect an oscilloscope to the “Red” output of the
Receiver box (pin 1 of the MONITOR OUT sub-D
connector) and measure the Red output level.
4. Align the BLEND INTENSITY parameter so that the
blended signal is 65 % of the black/white amplitude. This
ratio will be about 0.45 V (blended signal) to 0.7 V (full
white signal).
8.3.3LUM. DELAY Alignments
With this alignment, you place the luminance information
directly on the chrominance information (brightness is pushed
onto the colour). Input a colour bar or grey scale pattern as a
test signal.
LUM. DELAY PAL BG
Set value to "12". If the luminance signal referred to the
chrominance signal still has a time delay, adjust the value to
solve this.
LUM. DELAY PAL I
Set value to "12". If the luminance signal referred to the
chrominance signal still has a time delay, adjust the value to
solve this.
LUM. DELAY SECAM
Set value to "11". If the luminance signal referred to the
chrominance signal still has a time delay, adjust the value to
solve this.
LUM. DELAY BYPASS
Set value to "10". If the luminance signal referred to the
chrominance signal still has a time delay, adjust the value to
solve this.
FBX TEST PATTERN
When this pattern is switched on, the set will display a picture
that slowly changes from black to white, and vice versa. Use
this pattern to check the functionality of the circuitry behind the
FBX and the FBX function itself.

8.4Option settings
8.4.1Introduction
The microprocessor communicates with a large number of
(I2C) ICs in the set. To ensure good communication and make
digital diagnosis possible, the microprocessor has to know
which ICs to address. The presence or absence of specific ICs
or functions is made known by means of the option codes.

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.
Example: The sticker on the bottom cover of an E-box gives
the following option numbers:
04556 00257 49411 04112
04119 00001 00000 00271
The first line (group 1) indicates options 1 to 4, the second line
(group 2) options 5 to 8 (see tables below).
Figure 8-4 Service options overview
Every 5-digit number represents 16 bits (so maximum number
can be 65536 if all options are set).
When all the correct options are set, the sum of the decimal
values of each Option Byte (OB) will give the option number.

A 35W Power Supply is used in the Receiver box. It supports a
range of input voltages (= global), and can be used for almost
every E-box version. It delivers the voltages for the SSP, the
DW, the FBX (+5VSTB, 5V2, 8V6, 7V7, -7V7 and 33V), and for
the specific PWBs. The output of the power supply is
connected to the AVI panel. This panel powers all the other
PWBs.
The Mains voltage is applied to the input filter that feeds it to the
standby supply. This supply is always operational and delivers
the +5VSTBY voltage.
The task of the main supply is to deliver the supply voltages for
the several electrical circuits in the Receiver box. It is switched
via a single-pole relay, which is powered from the +5VSTBY
voltage and controlled via the POWER_ON and STANDBY
signals.
The reason to choose for a separate standby supply, instead of
a single flyback supply (which can be driven in standby mode
like a MC44604), is the requirement to have very low standby
power consumption.
The "POWER ON/STBY" knob is located on the Front I/O panel
and activates the relay supply (POWER_ON). The
microprocessor is then able to switch the set from "standby" to
"on" (STANDBY).
The green "POWER ON" LED is active, when the 8.6 V is
present (HW controlled).
The red "STANDBY" LED is active in standby. The OTC
controls this via ON_OFF_LED.

9.2.2PSU: Start-up Sequence
For a description of the "start-up sequence", we make a
differentiation between the FTV1.9 and the FM2x monitors.
Start-up sequence for an E-box + FTV1.9 Monitor
There are five different "power states" in the E-box:
•Low Power Standby (P < 0.9 W). The Main supply is not
working. Only the OTC and I/O Expanders (on the AVIpanel) are powered from the 5VSTB. The OTC works in
one of the low power states (no program execution, but the
UART, timer, RC pre-processor, and SW ADC are
working).
•Standby (P < 3 W). The Main supply is not working. Only
the OTC and I/O Expanders (on the AVI-panel) are
powered from the 5VSTB. The OTC works in high power
state (= normal).
•Semi Standby (Europe only). The Main supply is working.
All PWBs are powered. The video in the HOP and the audio
on the AVI board are muted. The sync is not send to the
monitor. This state is used for EPG and P50 operations.
•On (P < 35 W). The Main supply is working. All PWBs are
powered.
•Off. The OTC and I/O Expanders are not powered
anymore. All the voltages are "off".
The E-box will always start-up in the "Standby" state until the
CONFIG_IDENT is detected (means monitor attached). During
initialisation, the E-box must check the "TV_standby" bit in the
NVM, to decide into which state the E-box and monitor have to
be put. This will set the STANDBY pin on the OTC accordingly.
The initialisation starts when the E-box is switched "on" and the
AC-power is connected. As a result, the 5VSTB supply is
activated, and the OTC is activated. Now, the OTC checks the
presence of the CONFIG_IDENT signal:
•If this check is successful (this means two following "hand
shake" sequences are detected), then the state of the Ebox depends on the "TV_standby" bit in the NVM. This bit
contains the history data about how previously the TV
configuration entered the "standby" state (e.g. when this
was done by the user (bit= 1), the set will stay in "standby").
•If this check is not successful, the E-box will go to "Low
Power Standby".
Note: For service, the E-box can work in "Stand-alone" power
mode. This is detected via the "Stand alone" bit in the NVM.
This bit can be set in the Dealer/Service menu.
If the E-box is switched from "Standby" to "On", the STANDBY
pin of the OTC is pulled "low", the relay switch is closed, and
the main supply is started up. When the 5V2 and 8V6 voltages
reach their nominal values, the 5V2_PROT and 8V6_PROT
are activated. Now:

1. The MSP shall be reset first, as this IC can disturb the I2C
traffic, when not reset properly.
2. Secondly, as the POPOV IC of the DW (F2R22 only) can
pull the slow SDA line "low" when the HA signal from the
main HIP is not available, all traffic on the slow I2C bus
needs to be delayed until the HIP is properly initialised and
settled. This means a wait state of 100 ms, after the crystal
configuration of the HIP has correctly been read out.
3. Next, all other ICs are initialised. Now, the E-box is
working, but the monitor is still not displaying a picture.
4. The HOP switches on the PHI1 loop, the software sets all
the necessary video and audio parameters, and enables
them.
Start-up sequence for an E-box + FM2x Monitor
There are five different "power states" in the E-box:
•Low Power Standby (P < 0.9 W). The Main supply is not
working. Only the OTC, I/O Expanders (on the AVI-panel)
and remote circuits are powered from the 5VSTB. The
OTC works in one of the low power states (no program
execution, but the UART, timer, RC pre-processor, and SW
ADC are working).
•Peripheral Standby (P < 3 W). This is an intermediate
state. This mode is only used temporarily, if the OTC goes
from low power standby to normal operation and vice
versa.
•Semi Standby (Europe only). The Main supply is working.
All PWBs are powered. The video in the HOP and the audio
on the AVI board are muted. The sync is not send to the
monitor. This state is used for EPG and P50 operations.
•On (P < 35 W). The Main supply is working. All PWBs are
powered.
•Off. The OTC and I/O Expanders are not powered
anymore. All the voltages are "off".
The E-box will always start-up in the "Standby" state until the
AYT (Are You There) is detected. This means that an FM2x
monitor is attached (this is different from the FTV1.9 monitor,
where a separate CONFIG_IDENT line is used). During
initialisation, the E-box must check the "Stand_alone" bit in the
NVM. If this bit and the "TV_standby" bit both are not set, the
AYT protocol is started, and will wake up the monitor. This will
set the STANDBY pin on the OTC accordingly.
The initialisation starts when the E-box is switched "on" and the
AC-power is connected. As a result, the 5VSTB supply is
activated, and the OTC is activated. Now, the OTC checks the
presence of the "Standby" bit:
•If the "Standby" bit and the "Stand_alone" (or "Service/
Factory") bit are not set, the AYT protocol is enabled,
which will wake up the monitor. If this check is successful,
the state of the E-box depends on the "TV_standby" bit in
the NVM. This bit contains the history data about how
previously the TV configuration entered the "standby" state
(e.g. when this was done by the user (bit= 1), the set will
stay in "standby").
•If this check is not successful (e.g. set to standby by user),
the E-box will go to "Low Power Standby".
Note: For service, the E-box can work in "Stand-alone" power
mode. This is detected via the "Stand alone" bit in the NVM.
This bit can be set in the Dealer/Service menu. If this bit is
"high", the AYT protocol is not used and no FSP commands are
send to the monitor.
If the E-box is switched from "Low Power Standby" to "On", the
STANDBY pin of the OTC is pulled "low", the relay switch is
closed, and the main supply is started up. When the 5V2 and
8V6 voltages reach their nominal values, the 5V2_PROT and
8V6_PROT are activated. Now:
1. The MSP shall be reset first, as this IC can disturb the I2C
traffic, when not reset properly.
2. Secondly, as the POPOV IC of the DW (F22Rx only) can
pull the slow SDA line "low" when the HA signal from the
main HIP is not available, all traffic on the slow I2C bus
needs to be delayed until the HIP is properly initialised and

settled. This means a wait state of 100 ms, after the crystal
configuration of the HIP has correctly been read out.
3. Next, all other ICs are initialised. Now, the E-box is
working, but the monitor is still not displaying a picture.
4. The HOP switches on the PHI1 loop, the software sets all
the necessary video and audio parameters, and enables
them.
9.2.3PSU: Mains Voltage Inlet and Filter
The Mains voltage is provided by inlet 0300, after which it is
fused by a T2.5A fuse. The next part, the Mains voltage filter,
consists of an LC-common mode filter section. This filter
consists of two capacitors (items 2002 and 2004) from both
phase and neutral to ground (to reduce the leakage current)
and an inductor (5000). Interferences on one of the phases are
shorted to ground by these capacitors.
Inductor 5000 also provides a differential-mode filtering with
capacitor 2001. Resistor 3003 discharges this capacitor after
the Mains voltage is disconnected.
At high voltage peaks (for example, lightning surges) on one of
the phases, the resistance of VDR 3002 will be very low,
causing fuse 1001 to interrupt. At a lightning surge on both
phases with respect to chassis ground, the Mains voltage filter
will form a high resistance, through which the voltage will rise
very sharply. To prevent flashovers, a spark gap (item 1000) is
implemented.
Resistors 3000 and 3001 are connected between neutral and
chassis ground. They are required by safety regulations.
9.2.4PSU: Standby supply
Start up
The Standby Supply operates on the AC voltage from the input
filter part, and has to deliver a stable regulated 5 V value. The
standby supply is always operational when the AC input
voltage is present, even when the POWER switch is in the "off"
position.
After a small bridge rectifier and buffer capacitor (D6203/6204
and C2202), the DC voltage is applied to a switched mode
power supply. To reduce self-pollution, the rectifiers are
bridged by small capacitors (C2200/2201).
Normal Operation
The Standby Supply itself is build around a "TINYSwitch"
TNY256. This IC contains the control circuitry and a power
MOSFET needed for an Switched Mode Power Supply
(SPMS). It uses a simple "on/off" control loop to regulate the
output voltage.
The supply for the TNY256 comes via safety resistor R3200,
L5200, and L5202.
The +5VSTBY voltage at the secondary side is rectified by
D6310 and smoothed by C2311.
By using secondary sensing, a very accurate +5VSTBY
voltage and high efficiency is achieved. The sensing circuit
uses a TL431 as reference voltage/error amplifier. Optocoupler
7203 and coil 5200 are used for the Mains voltage isolation.
When the +5VSTBY output voltage rises, the reference voltage
on the TL431 will exceed 2.5 V and the current through this
device and the optocoupler LED will increase. By this method,
the optocoupler transistor will conduct more. When this current
(at pin 4 of IC7200) exceeds 50 µA, the MOSFET is switched
"off", and the output voltage will drop. When the current drops
below 40 µA, the MOSFET is switched "on" again.
Output Voltage
+5VSTBY, which is available on connector 0307, pin 7.
Protections
As the TNY256 is sensitive for transients, a "peak clamp" circuit
(300 V zener diodes 6201 and 6202) is used to limit the voltage
to a safe level.
9.2.5PSU: Main supply
Introduction
The main supply is activated by single-pole relay 1400, which
delivers the filtered Mains voltage to a rectifier bridge (item
6000). This rectified voltage is the input for the flyback
converter, which generates the output voltages.
The flyback converter is based on a MC44603AP driven in
"discontinues conduction mode" with a fixed frequency of 40
kHz (at nominal Mains voltages). The MC44603AP drives a
MOSFET (600 V, 1.2 Ohm), which is snubbered (by 2008) and
clamped by an RCD peak clamp. The transformer delivers the
secondary output voltages and the primary supply voltage for
the IC.
Secondary voltage control is on the 5V2 and 8V6 output via a
TL431 (item 7011) and an optocoupler (item 7002) back to the
error amplifier input of the controller IC.
Output Voltages
The following voltages are generated by the main supply:
•+33V (0307/11) for the Tuner.
•+16V (0306/9).
•+8V6 (0307/8 & 9).
•+7V7 (0306/5).
•-7V7 (0306/6).
•+5V2 (0307/4 & 5).
•+5V2_FB (0307/3).

Figure 9-2 Start up circuitry
The mechanical "on/off" switch (item 1006) on the Front panel
drives IC7055. This is a "power distribution switch", used due
to the high switch-on current. It has internal overload and shortcircuit protections.
A single pole 5 V relay (item 1400) will switch the Receiver box
from "standby" to "on". It is controlled via the POWER_ON line.
The start up supply voltage of the control IC comes via the
standby supply. It is rectified (D6010), smoothed (C2025), and
clamped (D6008). Once the main supply is started, this voltage
is taken over by winding 6-8 of transformer 5003 and diode
D6007.
Normal operation
The working frequency of 40 kHz is determined by R3032 and
C2014. The output voltage is controlled by duty cycle
regulation. Output is on pin 3, which drives the FET. A current
will flow through transformer coil 3-4 (item 5003), FET 7000,
and sense-resistors R3012//R3013//R3014 to ground. The
energy stored in the primary winding during the on time is
delivered to the secondary windings during the "off" time.
The output voltages are rectified and buffered here.

Circuit Descriptions, List of Abbreviations, and IC Data Sheets
Regulation is performed by the control loop that consists of
reference component 7011 and optocoupler 7002. When the
+5V2 output voltage rises, the reference voltage on the TL431
will exceed 2.5 V and the current through this device and the
optocoupler LED will increase. By this method, the optocoupler
transistor will conduct more, and the voltage over R3035 (and
pin 14 of IC7001) will rise. The IC will adjust the duty cycle, the
FET will conduct less, and the output voltage will decrease.
Protections
Soft Start and Maximum Duty Cycle
The output voltage is 0 V at start up. This would force IC 7001
to start with a maximum duty cycle, causing a very high current
through FET 7000. To prevent this, capacitor C2018 (at pin 11
of IC7001) ensures a soft start (voltage at pin 11 is low at start
up, which gives a small duty cycle) and R3039 determines the
maximum duty cycle.
Switch Off Peak Voltage
To protect the FET against high peak (drain-source) voltages
at switch "off", a peak clamp circuit is added consisting of
D6014, D6002, C2007, and R3010.
When the FET blocks, the diodes will lead the peak voltages
away from the FET and will charge C2007.
When the FET conducts, this capacitor is discharged via
R3010, the primary coil, and the FET itself.
Over Current and Fold Back
The current through the primary winding is measured by sense
resistors R3012, R3013, and R3014. The resulting voltage is
measured at pin 7 of IC7001. Once the voltage at this pin
exceeds 1 V (so maximum current is set to 3 A), the duty cycle
is regulated back.
If the output load keeps on increasing (I > 3 A), the system is
unable to supply enough energy to maintain the output voltage
in regulation. This is detected at pin 5 of IC7001 (via pin 8 of
5003, R3015, D6007 and R3037). Consequently, if this voltage
drops below the fold back threshold voltage of 1 V, the IC will
adapt the "current sense threshold". This will limit the current
supply and by this, the output voltage. This will cause an
avalanche effect, causing the supply to rapidly trim down.
Over Voltage
When the voltage on pin 6 of IC7001 will exceed 2.5 V, the
control IC will stop oscillating (after 2 µs). The output voltages
will drop, and the IC starts again. This can happen when the
feedback loop is interrupted.

The start up of the PSU has to fulfil certain requirements.
At the moment the Mains cord is connected (t0), the standby
supply will generate the +5VSTBY (coming from the STANDBY
pre-condition). With this voltage present, the microprocessor
begins the start up procedure, by making the STANDBY
command logic "low" (t1) and the POWER_ON command
"high" (coming from the "off" pre-condition). After you press the
power switch on the front panel, the "POWER_ON" signal will
become "high" and within 2 seconds, the main supply will start,
making the POWER_VALID signal "high" (t2).
When a Mains dip occurs (t3), the POWER_VALID signal must
go "low" before the output voltages will drop and must remain
"low" until the Mains voltage returns.
When you put the set in standby, the microprocessor makes
the STANDBY signal "high" (t7). The output voltages will drop,
and the POWER_VALID signal goes "low", but the +5VSTDBY
remains present.
Finally, this voltage will drop when the Mains cord is
disconnected (t10).
Typical timing values are:
•t1 - t2 = 0.1 < t < 1.2 s (dependent on the STANDBY PSU
load).
•t3 - t4 = 20 < t < 350 ms (dependent on U_MAINS).
•t4 - t5 = 5 < t < 40 ms (dependent on the main PSU load).
•t5 - t6 = 10 < t < 1000 ms (dependent on U_MAINS and the
STANDBY PSU load).
•t7 - t8 = 10 < t < 600 ms (dependent on U_MAINS and the
MAIN PSU load).
•t8 - t9 = 5 < t < 40 ms (dependent on the MAIN PSU load).

Demagnetisation
The internal demagnetisation block in IC7001 disables the
output (pin 3) during the demagnetisation phase of transformer
5003. This is to prevent the FET from being switched "on". The
info is taken from pin 8 of transformer 5003, and fed via R3015
and R3030 to pin 8 of IC7001. When the voltage on this pin
drops below 65 mV, the demagnetisation phase is completed,
and the FET can switch on.
Audio Plop
The POWER_VALID circuit is designed to detect the
disappearance of the Mains voltage (at set switch "off" or at
Mains voltage dips). This signal will then mute the audio
outputs to prevent audio plops (see diagram AV8 position I7).
The circuit compares the +5V2 output with the negative
rectified 5V2 winding (which is in fact the transformed rectified
Mains voltage). When this voltage disappears, transistor 7101
is activated and the POWER_VALID output will go "low" before
the supply output voltages will drop. It will mute the audio
outputs and stay "low" until the Mains voltage and the +5V2
output voltage returns.

1fH CVBS and YC Video Selection (diagram AV7)
For the video source selection, a TEA6415 (item 7710) from
SGS-Thomson is used. The main function of this IC is to switch
eight video input sources to six outputs. Each output can be
switched to only one of the inputs, but any same input may be
connected to several outputs. All the switching possibilities are
controlled through the I2C bus.
At the input of the IC, we find the following signals:
•CVBS or Y/C from FRONT.
•CVBS or Y/C from EXT3.
•CVBS or Y/C from the Scaler (not used in this chassis).
At the output of the IC we find:
•CVBS_Y_AV1 and C_AV1.
•CVBS_Y_AV2 and C_AV2.
AV1 is connected to the CVBS/YC_FRONT input of the SSP
(connector 0333).
AV2 is connected to the CVBS/YC_UI input of the SSP
(connector 0372).
These signals go to the SSP via connectors 0333 and 0372,
where they are fed to a second TEA6415 (item 7208), together
with the video signals coming from the SCART connectors.
1fH Video processing (diagram AV6)
The YPbPr signals coming from the SD panel (EXT5) are
buffered, and then fed through a YPbPr-to-RGB matrix circuit
(TSH93, item 7607). The matrix is made with discrete hardware
and determined by resistor values.
The RGB_SD output signals are then fed to connector 0372
and routed, via an RGB selector, to the RGB2 (Universal
Interface) input of the HIP IC (item 7501) on the SSP.

Figure 9-6 Block diagram sync processing
The block diagram above shows the sync path. The AV
Interface has the following sync inputs:
•Sync from VGA source (HV_VGA)
•Sync from SSP (HD_VD)
The selection between these inputs for the main picture is done
with switch 7570. This switch is controlled via software with the
HD_VGA_SELECT signal.
Note: If the Receiver box has to function without the monitor
(e.g. in case of EPG data download), the H and V pulses may
not be fed to the monitor. In this case, switch 7570 will be put
open with the SYNC_TRISATE_MON control signal (SW
controlled).
9.3.4AVI: Audio Processing
General
The audio-part of the AV-interface consists of three separate
parts:
•The source selection.
•The Channel-channel configuration.
•Muting (or anti-plop circuit).
Source Selection
The source selection part redirects the three stereo inputs into
two separate channels. These two channels (SNDL/
R_MAIN_OUT and SNDL/R_SUB_OUT) are then connected
to the SSP for further processing.
Note: The TEA6422 cannot handle the maximum level of 2.8 V
of the SNDL/R_VGA signals. Therefore, these signals are
attenuated by 3 dB (see R3801/3802 and R3806/3807 on
diagram AV8). All other inputs are attenuated at the Front I/O
panel or the HD connector panel. These attenuations are
corrected again on the SSP.
Centre Channel Selection
The Centre input (cinch at the rear) is a separate audio input.
This input bypasses all other inputs, and is designed to obtain
a better Home Cinema configuration. In this case, the FTV
monitor speakers will function as the centre channel. This input
is selected via the CENTER_SELECT signal, which is
controlled by the I/O Expander (items IC7880 and TS7853). It
is selected by the user from the user menu.
Mute
To prevent audio plops and clicks (when the set is turned "on/
off" or at channel switching), a mute circuit is implemented
immediately after the centre channel selection part.

When the SOUND_ENABLE signal is high, the two N-channel
FETs are conducting the audio signal to the GND, and will mute
the audio output.
Why are two FETs implemented? Because in a case of "no
mute", and FET 7868 directly connected to ground, the diode
in this FET would distort the audio signal too much. With the
addition of FET 7867, this distortion is eliminated, because this
FET is connected in anti-series.
The supply for the inverter is connected to the +5VSTBY. This
supply signal is always available when the Mains is connected,
so in case the Mains voltage is disconnected, the mute function
is disabled.

Figure 9-8 Block diagram Control part (µP)
The SAA5801 (IC7003) is called the OTC (OSD, TXT, and
Control). In this IC, the microprocessor and the TXT-decoder
(or Closed Caption for the USA) are integrated. The SAA5801
is also called the OTC2.5 because also TXT-level 2.5 is
supported.
At start up, the RESET signal is generated with TS7006/7007.
During a reset, all I/O pins are high. When a RESET is
generated, the set is in Standby mode.
The 8V6 and the 5V2 are sensed by pins 105 and 106. If one
of them is not present, the Power supply is switched "off". The
OTC will generate an error code to indicate what was wrong.
The horizontal (HOSD-PIP) and vertical (VD) pulses are also
fed to the OTC for stable OSD and CC. To create good stable
pulses, these signals are inverted and fed to the OTC. The
RGB-outputs (77/78/79) together with fading (pin 80) are fed to
the HOP. This fading pin has a double function:
•Make the menu transparent.
•Fast-blanking for CC.
There are three I2C busses used (see section "I2C overview"):
1. Slow I2C bus (max. 100 kHz) for tuner, DW, video-, and
audio selection.
2. Fast I2C bus (max. 400 kHz) for the HIP, MSP, TOPIC,
HOP, and FBX (PICNIC, and FALCONIC).
3. NVM I2C bus for the Non Volatile Memory to avoid data
corruption.
Page 94
EN 94F21RE AB9.
Circuit Descriptions, List of Abbreviations, and IC Data Sheets
The OTC also has a connection with the Front panel:
•Driving the "on" and "STANDBY" LEDs.
Service tip: The green LED gives a quick indication that
the 8V6 voltage is present.
•This chassis has an IR send-LED connected to pin 90 for
communication with DST or ComPair.
•The remote control signal comes in on pin 100.
Memory
The set software is in a 4 MB ROM (IC7002) and in a 32 KB
ROM inside the OTC. The level at pin 73 of the OTC
determines whether this internal software is used at start up.
This level is determined with R3026/3029. The external ROM
is driven via the OE and CS signals.
The Non Volatile Memory (NVM) IC7008 is a 32 KB version
M24C32W6, and is used to store
•Software identification.
•Operational hours.
•Error codes.
•Option codes.
•Presets.
•Alignments.
All ICs in this part are supplied with 3V3. For this, a 3V3
stabilizer is used (IC7009).
Monitor communication (UART/FSP)
In total, four versions of the Receiver box are realised. There is
an US and EU version (main difference is the HD part for US).
Furthermore, there will be version for the current 42" FTV1.9
monitor and a version for the new FM2x monitor range. The
difference between these versions is mainly the
communication between the Receiver box and monitor. See
table below:
Table 9-3 Overview UART diversity

The Receiver box has to support both the FTV1.9 and the
FM2x plasma monitors. The communication protocol for the
FTV1.9 monitor is based on UART with a CONFIG_IDENT
signal. However, all FM2x monitors have a new improved
protocol called FSP (FTV System Protocol). Therefore, the pin
layout on the FTV monitor output connector has been changed.

As the FM2x has no CONFIG_IDENT signal to "wake up" the
Receiver box, a "dummy" CONFIG_IDENT is derived from the
RXDO signal with the aid of a "one-shot generator" (item 7545).
In order to prevent the RXD-line from connecting to ground, a
protection circuit is added. This circuit puts the RXD-buffer into
tri-state if the input is connected to ground for more than 100
ms.
Because the diversity is realized with jumpers (connector
1519), there are no differences in panel stuffing for both
versions.
Teletext/On Screen Display (TXT/OSD)
The TXT/OSD-decoder in the OTC gets its video signal directly
on pin 5. The RGB-outputs are available on pins 77/78/79. Fast
blanking is realized by pin 80. The RAM (IC7001) of the
microprocessor is also used for the decoder.
Remote Control
The remote control uses RC6, because commands like "cursor
control in eight directions" are used.
For this chassis, there are three possible RC input sources:
•RC_MON (coming from monitor),
•RC_BOX (coming from box), and
•RC_EXT (coming from an external source; this is not
used).
The selection is performed as shown in the figure below:

When CONFIG_IDENT (for FTV1.9) or AYT (for FM2x) is

If there is no monitor connected, the RC_FRONT_SELECT
signal is always "low", so RC _MON cannot be selected (via
TS7749 and TS7751). After start up, when the I/O-expander is
not yet set via I2C, the RC_FRONT signal is connected to
RC_OUT.

Inputs
The set has a total of five external inputs (AV1 - 5).
The HIP has an integrated source selector, which can handle:
•3 CVBS inputs.
•2 Y/C inputs.
•2 RGB inputs.
The HIP detects whether the input is Y/C or CVBS and decides
what to do. There are two inputs (pins 39 and 40) for detection
of the RGB status. The other status voltages are checked by
AM SOUND
the OTC.

CL 06532023_046.eps

Figure 9-11 Overview Tuner and IF Part
Normally for chassis with the Double Window feature, a splitter
is used. This splitter is on the chassis, beside the main tuner.
From this splitter, the aerial signal is fed to the main tuner on
the SSP and the DW tuner on the DW panel (which is not
present in this chassis). Therefore, the aerial input is on the
splitter.
The tuner part contains a tuner and an oscillator-mixer. The
tuner is I2C controlled. The reference voltage at pin 9 is 33 V.
This voltage (V_TUN) is derived from the secondary side of the
standby supply. The OTC, together with the HIP, controls the
tuning procedure.
The frequency of the local oscillator is compared with the
frequency of a reference oscillator by a PLL. The varicap
voltage is changed via I2C, and that changes the frequency of
the reference oscillator.
For the higher frequencies, the tuning speed is increased by
increasing the current that changes the varicap voltage.
The IF-part can be split into two important parts:
1. The IF-filter.
2. The IF-amplifier and demodulator.
The IF signal is fed to a SAW filter (item 1109 for the video and
1104 for the audio). The output of this filter is fed to the HIP for
demodulation. The demodulator is PLL-controlled via a VCO.
This VCO is I2C controlled (Service Alignment Mode IF-AFC
alignment). Tuning of the VCO is possible by switching some
small capacitors parallel to L5108. These capacitors are
integrated in the HIP.
In addition, the AGC takeover point is I2C controlled (with the
SAM menu).
Service tip: If the AFC is not adjusted correctly, very strange
faults can occur: like spontaneous standby switching, cracking
sound, incorrect CC, etc.
Video Processing
•The video identification block monitors whether a video
signal is detected at one of the inputs. The Y/C switch
detects whether the input is CVBS or Y/C, and switches
these signals for luminance and chrominance processing.
If a comb filter is used, the HIP detects they are "combed",
and the YC switch will select the signals for the comb filter.
The comb filter can be switched to the right system via the
two system lines (SYS1 and SYS2) from the HIP.
•If the input signal is CVBS, then an internal colour trap is
used in the Y path.
•The Y-delay can be controlled via the service menu to
match the colour to the luminance (because of different
signal paths there are different timings)
•Via the RGB-matrix, external RGB-signals are converted to
YUV, for further 2fH conversion.
•The internal YUV switch switches between the
demodulated video signal and an external RGB source.
•The sync processor in the HIP provides H_A and V_A sync
signals for the Feature Box. This sync part is alignment
free, but it should be noted that the line oscillator is locked
with the colour oscillator.
Note: If the quartz crystal is defective, there will be no colour
and synchronization problems. This crystal is very precise: if it
is replaced by another type, there may be no colour, because
of a different capacity. Therefore, you must use the genuine
replacement part.
Outputs
The HIP has the following outputs:
•YUV (50 Hz), for further picture processing on pins 49, 50
and 51.
•CVBS-DW, video signal for the Double Window module (if
present) on pin 32.
•CVBS-SC2-OUT, monitor output (WYSIWYR = What You
See Is What You Record).
•CVBS-TXT-OUT, CVBS for TXT and Comb filter.
•CVBS-TER, video signal from the tuner is fed to the I/O
switching and to EXT1 on pin 19 of SCART.

The 50 Hz YUV signals, coming from the HIP, are fed to the
PICNIC via an anti-aliasing filter.
The (AABB) "frame frequency doubling" is done by the PICNIC
(SAA4978, 160 pins QFP) together with a field memory
(MEM1). The PICNIC can handle most 100 Hz functions
(except Progressive Scan).
Via bus "C", a digitalized signal is presented to MEM1 (Field
Memory 1), which is used for the 50 to 100 Hz conversions. The
signal goes further via the data-bus to the FALCONIC. This IC
has the following functions:
•Line flicker reduction.
•Digital Noise Reduction (DNR).
•Progressive scan.
It has an internal CPU and a (small) integrated ROM. The
actual FBX7 software is located in an external ROM (item
7711). In order to limit the number of connections between the
PICNIC and the external ROM, a number of lines are used
twice. The lines A8 to A15 are fixed lines, while the lines A0 to
A7 are made switchable with the eight data lines of the ROM.
This is done via a Latch (item 7712), which is controlled by pin
139 of the PICNIC (the ALE signal).
At the end, the digital YUV (YUV_FEAT) signals from the
PICNIC (pins 12, 14, and 15) enter the TOPIC.
This IC has the following functions:
•Luminance Transient Improvement (LTI).
•Peaking.
•Colour transients (CTI) and colour enhancement (TOPIC).

IC
D0...D7
CL 36532021_018.eps
The digital YUV-signals from the PICNIC go, via a passive

PICNIC (Diagram L1)
The PICNIC has the following functions:
•ADC/DAC.
•Interlaced to progressive scan 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: the SAA4978H,
160 pins QFP.
ADC/DAC
•Analogue to Digital conversion is done with three identical
9-bit ADCs.
•Digital to Analogue conversion uses three identical 10-bit
DACs.
In the PICNIC, there are three nine-bit ADCs present for Y, U,
and V. For digitising the Y (luminance), nine bits are used (to
realize a more detailed picture). These nine bits are only
internally used. Via dithering, the nine bits are reduced to eight
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 nine bits for processing.
280303
Page 97
Circuit Descriptions, List of Abbreviations, and IC Data Sheets
EN 97F21RE AB9.
U/V (colour difference signals) is also sampled with nine bits.
These two nine bit data streams are multiplexed to four bit data
streams. As the perception of colours by the human eye is less
sensitive to luminance, this reduction is allowed.
Interlaced to progressive scan conversion
The main function of the PICNIC is the "Analogue to Digital"
conversion, spatial noise reduction, histogram functions (like
Dynamic Contrast and Black Stretch) for YUV, and HV-sync
processing. Also, the line frequency is doubled.
De-interlacing itself is realized in the FALCONIC (Field And
Line CONverter IC).
Further features of the PICNIC:
•Dual Screen Compression. The PICNIC can provide
horizontal video compression up to 50 %. The compress
mode can be used to display dual screens.
•The 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 and the side gain is automatically adapted
to make a screen-fit.
•Automatic Aspect Ratio Adaptation (AARA). This
feature uses data from the "black bar detection circuit" to
adapt the vertical and horizontal amplitude to an aspect
ratio belonging to the display, without the black bars.
•Dynamic Contrast. To make the contrast (black/white)
range wider, Philips has invented Dynamic Contrast. It
uses the digital memory used in 100 Hz sets. It measures
every A-field (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.
FALCONIC (Diagram L3)
Besides "Natural Motion", The FALCONIC (Field And Line
CONverter IC) has the following functions:
•Line flicker reduction (Digital Scan).
•Noise reduction (DNR, Dynamic Noise Reduction).
•Vertical Zoom.
•Movie phase detection.
•Progressive scan.
•Variable vertical sample rate conversion.
•Synchronous No parity Eight bit Reception and
Transmission interface (SNERT).

The FALCONIC can do "422" processing. This means eight
data lines for Y and eight data lines for U/V (844 = 422).
Therefore, the bandwidth for the colour difference increases:
the bandwidth for Y remains 6 MHz, and the bandwidth for
colour difference is now 3 MHz. This means that the picture for
DVD is much better. For this extra bandwidth, an extra field
memory is used: IC7640.

Bus A is the input bus for the FALCONIC. The data comes from
the two memory ICs (IC7602 and 7634) and the FALCONIC will
cluster this data. It is possible to connect two field memories to
the FALCONIC. The output of the FALCONIC is fed back to the
PICNIC via bus D.
The FALCONIC has two possible configurations:
•Economy mode: In this mode, only Field Memory 2 is
mounted (saving the cost of Field Memory 3). In this
configuration, the full frame store can be made by a factor
2 data compression, using 2 dimensional DPCM
techniques. This results in a performance with more
quantisation noise, while maintaining improved MEMC
quality. In this case, a full "422" processing cannot be
achieved. Only the 422-DPCM is possible.
•Full functionality mode: This configuration uses Field
Memory 2 and 3. Therefore, no picture performance
concessions are made here. In this mode, all FALCONIC
features can be applied optimally. However, to be able to
perform full "422" processing, the FM1 must be extended
with an extra 4 bits, for a total of 16 bits.
Power Supply and RESET Circuit
Besides the two incoming voltages, 8V6 and 5V2, two
stabilizers (for power consumption reasons) are used for the
3V3 (3V3A and 3V3B).

Improved motion detection (Natural Motion)
This set utilizes AB'A'B scanning, a new sample for Natural
Motion.
The FALCONIC has an extra advantage for motion detection:
the maximum number of pixels that can be followed in AB’A’B
scanning is higher: This produces a more natural motion, even
with very fast movements.
Improved line flicker reduction (Digital Scan)
The FALCONIC offers motion compensated line flicker
reduction. This virtually leads to complete elimination of line
flicker.

Figure 9-14 Block Diagram Reset Circuitry
Via the reset circuit (TS7600/TS7601) a pulse of 20 ms is
generated for the µP (in the PICNIC) and for the ROM. After
power "on", the 3V3 is built up, which is derived from the 5V2.
As long as the 5V2 is below the 3V3, the 3V3 follows the 5V2.

TS7600 blocks and so does TS7601. The voltage on pin 6 of
IC7611 increases in the same way as the 3V3.
If the 5V2 rises above 3V3, the 3V3 stabilizes and TS7600
starts to conduct. Capacitors C2656//C2690 are charged by
R3604 and R3605. At a voltage of 0.6 V, TS7601 will conduct
and the voltage at pin 6 of IC7611 becomes low again. The (P
is reset now.
If the PICNIC cannot communicate with the ROM, a reset is
generated by the watchdog. Pin 7 of the PICNIC generates a
pulse to create a new reset pulse for pin 6.
If one of the two supply voltages (3V3A, 3V3B) is absent, a
safety problem could occur. The 3V3A is the supply voltage for
the PICNIC and the 3V3B for the FALCONIC. If the 3V3 is too
low, the base of TS7601 will be low via TS7612 and TS7613. If
the base of TS7601 is made low, a RESET signal is generated
for the PICNIC.
9.4.5SSP: TOPIC and HOP (Diagram K6)
Introduction
The TOPIC (The most Outstanding Picture improvement IC,
item 7402, 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 skin tone correction, green
enhancement and blue stretch.
•Measure and detection circuitry, for AutoTV.
The sandcastle pulse from the HOP (High end Output
Processor), is fed to pin 1 of the TOPIC, which is used as
reference for timing.

9.4.6SSP: Audio processing
Introduction
The sound processing is distributed between the Flat Monitor
(amplifier) and the Receiver Box (processing). The sound
processing in the Receiver Box is completely done by the:
MSP 3410D: demodulation for Europe and AP (including
NICAM), or
MSP 3440G: demodulation for US/LatAm/Taiwan (this IC also
covers Korean stereo).
The MSP ICs contain audio processing, used for the basic L/R
stereo sound. This processing involves bass, treble (via the
equalizer), and balance (trim speakers). The volume is set to a
fixed value, because the volume control is done in the monitor
(via UART).
With the user interface, audio selection can be "mono",
"stereo", or "surround" mode (surround mode will give spatial
functionality). Stereo and spatial is only possible if a stereo
signal is available.
All the extra audio sources, compared with the SSP, can be
used in the main channel. The "Centre" input is available on the
AV-interface panel. With this input, it is possible to use the
monitor left and right speakers as a centre speaker in a home
cinema configuration. This input can be selected via the User
Interface.
For VGA it is not possible to select the "Centre" input, because
the E-box OSD is not working for VGA inputs.
The selection of the possible inputs is divided over two
separate panels: the SSP and the AVI panel. The input
configuration dependents on the E-box version (in combination
with a TEA6422 (item 7777), the MSP is also used for a part of
the source selection in the E-box).

Figure 9-15 Block diagram HOP
The video processor and digital deflection processor are
integrated in the HOP (IC7300, TDA9330H). Its main functions
are:
•RGB interface for OSD/CC.
•Control of saturation, contrast, and brightness.
•Black/blue stretch.
Operation
After input selection, the YUV input is converted to RGB
outputs. The RGB and fast blanking from the OTC (OSD and
CC) are inserted on pins 35 - 38.
Blue stretch, measures the amplitude of the three RGB signals.
If one of these colour signals reaches more than 80% of the
nominal value, the amplification of Red and Green decreases.
This is to achieve a higher colour temperature.
The RGB outputs are available at pins 40 - 42. They are
buffered and fed to connector 0340, which goes to the AVinterface.

9.5.2Audio path
Front audio inputs (SNDL/R_FRONT) are connected to the
TEA6422 (item 7810) on the AV-Interface.
The headphone output signal (DS_AUDIO_L/R) from the DW
module is routed to the front panel.
9.6Auto TV
The Auto Picture Control (or AutoTV) aims at giving the
customer the best possible picture performance at any time.
Therefore, it does a real time processing of the video signal
and, as a result, it decides to adapt several video parameters
throughout the whole chassis. The user can choose the total
effect of the Auto Picture Control on the screen via the remote
control.
AutoTV consists of a set of algorithms that perform the
following tasks:
•Auto Noise Reduction:
– Input: noise measurement done in PICNIC.
– Output: noise reduction of PICNIC, coring of PICNIC,
TOPIC (if present), or EAGLE (if present).
•Auto Sharpness:
– Input: steepness information and band energy in
PICNIC.
– Output: sharpness settings in PICNIC, TOPIC (if
present), or EAGLE module (if present).
•Auto Ambient Light (in combination with histogram):
– Input: light sensor information (from TV monitor).
– Output: is depending on the user setting of Active
Control. If "maximum", saturation and contrast of the
HOP and histogram settings in PICNIC. If "medium",
only HOP saturation and PICNIC histogram.
•Auto colour:
– Input: user smart mode choice.
– Output: colour features of the EAGLE (or TOPIC), like
green enhancement and skin tone correction.
The FTV E-Box has no own light sensor, instead they is
featured in the TV monitors. The E-box is involved in the image
control loop for these light sensors. The 42" F19D and 50”
FM25 monitor do not have a light sensor.
The user can select four different settings: OFF, MIN, MED and
MAX. The setting does not change the amount of the influence
of the algorithms on the screen, but partly switches algorithms
ON (see table below).
