3Safety and maintenance instructions
3.1Safety instructions for repairs
Figure 3-1
1. Safety regulations require that during a repair:
– the set should be connected to the mains via an
isolating transformer;
– safety components, indicated by the symbol (see fig.
3.1), should be replaced by components identical to
the original ones;
– when replacing the CRT, safety goggles must be worn.
2. 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.
– 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:
•unplugthe mains cord and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug;
•set the mains switch to the on position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!);
•measure the resistance value between the pins of
the mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner
or the aerial connection on the set. The reading
should be between 4.5 MΩ and 12 MΩ;
•switch off the TVand 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.
3.2Maintenance instruction
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 thefollowing actions:
•Execute the above mentioned 'general repair
instruction'.
•Clean the power supply and deflection circuitry on the
chassis.
•Cleanthepicturetubepanelandthe neck of the picture
tube.
3.3Warnings
1. ESD
All ICs 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.
– complete kit ESD3 small table mat, wristband,
connectionbox, extensioncable and earthcable 4822
310 10671
– wristband tester 4822 344 13999
2. In order to prevent damage to ICs and transistors, all highvoltage flashovers must be avoided. In order to prevent
damage to the picture tube, the method shown in Fig. 3.2
should be used to discharge the picture tube. Use a highvoltageprobe and a multimeter (positionDC-V). Discharge
until the meter reading is 0V (after approx. 30s).
3. Togetherwith the deflection unit and anymultipole unit, the
flat square picture tubes used from an integrated unit. The
deflection and the multipole units are set optimally at the
factory.Adjustmentofthisunit during repair is therefore not
recommended.
4. Be careful during measurements in the high-voltage
section and on the picture tube.
5. Never replace modules or other components while the unit
is switched on.
6. When making settings, use plastic rather than metal tools.
This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a
circuit becoming unstable.
7. Wearsafety goggles during replacement ofthe picture tube
3.4Notes
1. The direct voltages and oscillograms should be measured
with regard to the tuner earth , or hot earth as this is called
(see fig. 3.3)
2. The direct voltages and oscillograms shown in the
diagrams are indicative and should be measured in the
Service Default Mode (see chapter 8) with a colour bar
signal and stereo sound (L:3 kHz, R:1 kHz unless stated
otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz.
3. Wherenecessary, the oscillograms and directvoltages are
measured with and without aerial signal. Voltages in the
power supply section are measured both for normal
operation and in standby . These values are indicated by
means of the appropriate symbols (see fig. 3.3).
4. The picture tube PWB has printed spark gaps. Each spark
gap is connected between an electrode of the picture tube
and the Aquadag coating.
5. 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.

•V1-V2-V3, etc.: Test points for the video processing
circuitry (A6) / CRT panel (B)
Measurements are performed under the following conditions:
Video: colour bar signal; audio: 3kHz left, 1kHz right
5.2Service modes and Dealer Service Tool (DST)
7L9.1A
•Used to provide a pre-defined situation (pre-defined
parameters), so that the same measurements can be
obtained as per the service manual.
•Overrides the 5V protection when the internal method of
SDM is used (connecting together pin M24 and pin M25).
•starts the LED flashing procedure
•Setting up of options codes
•Inspect the error buffer
Entering the SDM:
– Bytransmitting the "DEFAULT" command with the RC7150
Dealer Service Tool (this works both while the set is in
normal operation mode or in the SAM)
– Standard RC sequence 062596 followed by the key
"MENU"
– By connecting test-pins M25 and M24 together (on the
mono-carrier)while switching on the set. Afterswitchingon
the set the link should be removed ( Caution!! By entering
the SDM mode you override the 5V protections ).
Exit the SDM:
Switch the set to Standby or press EXIT on the DST (the error
buffer is also cleared).
Note: When the mains power is switched off while the set is in
SDM, the set will switch to SDM immediately when the mains
is switched on again. ( The error buffer will not be cleared ).
The SDM sets the following pre-defined conditions:
•Pal/Secam sets: tuning at 475.25 PAL
•NTSC sets : tuning channel 3 at 61.25MHz
Volume level is set to 25% (of the maximum volume level).
Other picture and sound settings are set to 50%. The following
functions are "ignored" in SDM since they interfere with
diagnosing/repairingaset. "Ignoring" means that the event that
is triggered is not executed, the setting remains unchanged.
For easy installation and diagnosis, the dealer service tool
(DST) RC7150 can be used. When there is no picture (to
accesstheerrorcodebuffer via the OSD). The DST can enable
to set to display the entire contents of the error code buffers by
using the flashing LED procedure.
Important Note: The L9 does not incorporate two way Infra red
communication.
The part number for the DST (RC7150) is 4822 218 21232.
5.2.1Installation features for the dealer
The dealer can use the RC7150 for programming the TV-set
with presets. 10 Different program tables can be programmed
into the DST via a GFL TV, MD or MG set (downloading from
the TV to the DST; for example see the GFL service manuals).
For an explanation of the installation features of the DST,
please see the directions of use for use of the DST (for the L9
chassis, download code 4 should be used).
5.2.2Diagnosis features for the servicer
L9 models can be put into either of the two available service
modes by using the RC7150. These are the Service Default
Mode (SDM) and the Service Alignment Mode (SAM).
5.2.3Service Default Mode (SDM)
The purpose of the SDM is:
•(Sleep)Timer
•Blue mute
•Auto switch off
•Hotel or Hospitality Mode
•Child lock or Parental lock
•Skipping, blanking of "Not favourite" present/channels
•Automatic storing of Personal Preset settings
•Automatic user menu time-out
All other controls operate normally.
5.2.4Special functions in SDM

The SAM allows adjustment of the Demodulator I.F, align the
white tone, adjust the picture geometry and sound
adjustments.
For easy identification of the SAM mode, "SAM" is displayed
in the top of the right side of the screen
Entering SAM:
– By transmitting the "ALIGN" command with the RC7150
Dealer Service Tool
– By pressing the "CHANNEL DOWN" and "VOLUME
DOWN" key on the local keyboard simultaneously when
the set is in SDM
– Standard RC sequence 062596 followed by the key "OSD"
– By shorting test-pins M28 and M29 on the mono-carrier
while switching on the set. After switching on the set the
short-circuit can be removed. ( Caution!! Override of 5V
protections ).
Exiting the SAM:
Switch the set to standby or press EXIT on the DST (the error
buffer is cleared).
Note: When the mains power is switched off while the set is in
SAM, the set willswitch to SAM immediatelywhen the mains is
switched on again. ( The error buffer will not be cleared ).
Inthe SAM the followinginformation is displayed on thescreen:
(3) "SDM" To indicate that the TV set is in de service mode
(4) "OP" Options Code consist of 2 characters. It is possible to
change each option code
"VALUE" The value of the selected option ( ON/OFF or a
combination of 2 letters )
"XXX" Value of the options bytes ( OB1 .. OB7)
"ERR" The last five detected errors; The left most number
indicates the most recent error detected.
The MENU UP or MENU DOWN command can be used to
select the next/previous option; The MENU LEFT and MENU
RIGHT command can be used to change the option value.
Remark: When the option-code RC = OFF, theP+ and the Pkey have the same functions as the MENU UP/DOWN keys
while the VOL+ and the VOL- key have the same function as
the MENU LEFT/RIGHT keys. It is not possible to change the
channel pre-set or to adjust the volume when in SAM/SDM
menu when the option RC = OFF.
Using a L9 remote control, option-code RC = ON, the P+, P-,
VOL- and VOL+ can be used to change the pre-set and/or to
adapt the volume, while the menu-cursor keys are used to
select the option and to change its value.

the error is written at the left side and all other errors shift
one position to the right
– the error code buffer will be cleared in the following cases:
1. exiting SDM or SAM with the "Standby" command on
the remote control
2. transmitting the commands "EXIT" with the DST
(RC7150)
3. transmitting the commands "DIAGNOSE-9-9-OK" with
the DST.
– By leaving SDM or SAM with the mains switch, the error
buffer is not reset.

5Fault finding and repair tips
11L9.1A
Examples:
ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0 : No errors detected
ERROR: 6 0 0 0 0 : Error code 6 is the last and only detected
error
ERROR: 5 6 0 0 0 : Error code 6 was first detected and error
code 5 is the last detected (newest) error
5.4.2Error codes
In the case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer
before starting the repair to prevent "old" error codes being
present. If possible check the entire contents of the error
buffers.In some situations an errorcode is only the RESULT of
another error code (and not the actual cause).
Note: a fault in the protection detection circuitry can also lead
to a protection.
Error 0 = No error
Error 1 = X-ray ( Only for USA sets )
Error 2 = High beam current protection and E/W Horizontal
protection
Highbeam protection active; set is switchedto protection; error
code 2 is placed in the error buffer; the LED will blink 2 times (
repeatedly ).
As the name implies, the cause of this protection is a too high
beam current (bright screen with flyback lines). Check whether
the +200V supply to the CRT panel is present. If the voltage is
present, the most likely cause is a fault on the CRT panel.
DisconnecttheCRTpaneltodetermine the cause. If the +200V
voltage is not present, check R3340 ( CRT panel - B ), R3485
and D6485 ( Horizontal Deflection - A2 )
EW protection:
If this protection is active, the causes could be one of the
following;
Sound processor does not respond to the micro controller
Error 5 = Bimos start-up error ( POR bit )
Bimos start-up register is corrupted or the I2Cline to the Bimos
is always low or no supply at pin 12 of the Bimos). This error is
usually detected during start-up and hence will prevent the set
from starting up.
Error 6 = Bimos (TDA884x) I2C error
Note that this error may also be reported as a result of error
codes 4 (in that case the Bimos might not be the actual
problem)
Error 7 = General I2C error. This will occur in the following
cases:
•SCL or SDA is shorted to ground
•SCL is shorted to SDA
•SDA or SCL connection at the micro controller is open
circuit.
Error 8 = Microprocessor internal RAM error
The micro controller internal RAM test indicated an error of the
micro controller internal memory (tested during start-up);
Error 10 = I2C error EEPROM error. NV memory (EEPROM)
does not respond to the micro controller
Error 11 = I2C error PLL tuner. Tuner is corrupted or the I2C
line to the Tuner is low or no supply voltage present at pin 9,
pin 6 or pin 7 of the tuner.
Error 12 = Black current loop instability protection. The black
current could not be stabilised. The possible cause could be a
defect in one or moreof the RGB amplifiers,RGB guns or RGB
driving signals.
5.5The "blinking LED" procedure
– horizontal deflection coil 5445
– linearity coil 5457
– S-correction capacitor 2466/2468
– flyback capacitor 2465
– line output stage
– short circuit of:
– flyback diode 6460
– EW transformer (bridge coil) 5465/5470 or 5463/5471
(version dependent)
– S-correction capacitor 2457
– EW power-transistor 7460 or driver-transistor 7461
Error 3 = Vertical / Frame protection
There are no pulses detected at pin 47 of the main
microprocessor 7600 ( panel A7 ).
If this protection is active, the causes could be one of the
following items;
– IC 7401 is faulty
– Open circuit of vertical deflection coil
– Vlotaux +11V not present and/or Vlotaux -11V not present
– Resistor 3409
The contents of the error buffer can also be made visible via
the "blinking LED" procedure. This is especially useful when
there is no picture. There are two methods of access:
1. When the SDM is entered, the LED will blink thenumber of
times, equal to the value of the error codes in the errorbuffer, starting with the first error-code, pause, second
error-code, pause etc. (repeatedly).
2. With the DST all error codes in the error buffer can be
made visible. Transmit the command: "DIAGNOSE x OK"
where x is theposition in the error buffer to be made visible
x ranges from 1, (thelast (actual) error) to6 (the first error).
TheLEDwill operate in the same way as in point1, butnow
for the error code on position x.
•after transmitting "DIAGNOSE- 2- OK" with the DST blink
(9x) - pause - blink (9x) - etc.
•after transmitting "DIAGNOSE- 3- OK" with the DST
blink(5x) - pause - blink(5x) - etc.

5.6TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
In this paragraph some trouble shooting tips for the deflection
and power supply circuitry are described. For detailed
diagnostics, use the fault finding tree or use ComPair.
5.6.1THE DEFLECTION CIRCUIT:
1. Check that the +VBATT ( 140V) is present across 2551 (
A1 POWER SUPPLY ). If the voltage is not present,
disconnect coil 5551 ( A1 Power Supply) (Horizontal
deflection stage is disconnected). If the voltage is present
then the fault might be caused by the deflection circuit.
Possible Candidates Are:
– Transistor 7460 is faulty
– The driver circuit around transistor 7461 is faulty
– No horizontal drive signal coming from the BIMOS
7250-D pin 40 ( A4 - Synchronisation )
2. Note: If the Collector of 7460 is shorted to the Emitter, a
tripping noise will be heard from the power supply circuit.
3. To determine whether the fault is present in the horizontal
deflection circuit or in the E/W circuit ( A2 - Horizontal
Deflection ), de-solder jumper 9465 and insert a jumper
into position number 9461. This disables the E/W
protection.Ifthe basic deflection stage now works correctly
( parabolic picture) then the fault is present in the E/W
circuit. If there is still no horizontal deflection, then the fault
is present in the basic deflection circuitry.
4. Also don't forget the protection circuits in the line output
stage. If any of these circuits are activated, the setwill shut
down. Depending on the protection, the led will blink
according to the fault defined. In order to determine which
protection circuit is active, isolationof each separate circuit
is necessary. These protection circuits are:
– High beam current protection ( LED blinks repetitively
2 times ) - CRT panel ( B )
– E/W Horizontal protection ( LED blinks repetitively 2
times ) - Horizontal deflection ( A2 )
– Vertical protection ( LED blinks repetitively 3 times ) -
Vertical deflection ( A3 )
5.6.2THE POWER SUPPLY
5.7Customer Service Mode (CSM)
All L9.1 sets are equipped with the "Customer Service Mode"
(CSM). CSM is a special service mode that can be activated
and deactivated by the customer, following a request from the
service technician/dealer perhaps during a telephone
conversation to identify the status of the set. This CSM is a
'read only' mode, therefore modifications or changes while the
set is in this mode are not possible.
Entering the Customer Service Mode. The Customer Service
Mode can be switched on by pressing simultaneously the
button (MUTE) on the remote control and any key on the
control buttons (P+, P-, VOL +, VOL -) on the TV for at least 4
seconds.
When the CSM is activated:
•picture and sound settings are set to nominal levels

Exit the Customer Service Mode.
The Customer Service Mode will switch off after:
– pressing any key on the remote control handset (except
"P+" or "P-")
– switching off the TV set with the mains switch.

independent)
•Operating hours
•Software version L90BBC X.Y)
•Text "CSM" on the first line
•Error buffer contents
•Option code information
•Configuration information

To trouble shoot the L9 SMPS, first check the Vaux voltage on
C2561. If this voltage is not present, check fuse F1572 and
D6560.IfF1572orD6560is not open circuit, the problem might
be caused on the primary side of the switching supply. Check
theoutputofthe bridge rectifier on the C2508 for approximately
300V DC. If this voltage is missing, check the bridge rectifier
6505 and the fuse 1500. If fuse F1500 is found to be open
circuit, check MOSFET 7518 to make sure that there is no
short circuit present and check R3518. If the 300V DC is
present on C2508, check for a start-up voltage of approx. 13V
on pin 1 of IC7520. If no start-up voltage is present, check if
R3510 is open; zener 6510 is a short-circuit. It is necessary to
have a feedback signal from the hot primary side of switch
modetransformerT5545at pin 8 and pin 9 for the power supply
to oscillate. If this start-up voltage ispresent on pin 1 of IC7520
and the supply is not oscillating, check R3529 and D6540.
Check for a drive signal at the gate of MOSFET 7518, square
wave signal - P2. Check pin 3 of IC7520, R3525 and D6514
To determined whether OVP is active, check whether Vaux is
present at C2561.

5.8ComPair
5.8.1Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
developmenton the DST service remote control allowingfaster
and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair has three big
advantages:
•ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding how to
repair the L9.1A in short time by guiding you step by step
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; ComPair takes care of this.
•ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automaticallycommunicatewiththe L9.1A (when the micro
processor is working) and all repair information is directly
available. When ComPair is installed together with the
SearchMan L9.1A electronic manual, schematics and
PCBs are only a mouse-click away.
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial
or RS232 cable. In case of the L9.1A chassis, the ComPair
interface box and the L9 communicate via an I2C cable (bidirectional) and via infra red communication (uni-directional;
from ComPair interface box to L9.1A)
The ComPair fault finding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in 2 ways:
1. Communication to the television (automatic)
2. Asking questions to you (manually)
ComPair combines this information with the repair information
in its database to find out how to repair the L9.1A.
Automatic information gathering
Reading out the error buffer, ComPair can automatically read
out the contents of the entire error buffer.
Diagnosis on I2C level. ComPair can accessthe I2C busof the
television. ComPair can send and receive I2C commands to
themicrocontroller of the television. In this wayit ispossible for
ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the
I2C busses of the L9.1A.
Manual information gathering
Automatic diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of
the television is working correctly and only to a certain extend.
When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through the
fault finding tree by asking you questions and showing you
examples. You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g. text or an
waveform pictures) that will bring you to the next step in the
faultfinding process.
A question could be: Do you see snow? (Click on the correct
answer)
YES / NO
An example can be: Measure testpoint I7 and click on the
correct oscillogram you see on the oscilloscope
I7 B7502
1V / div DC
10µs / div
Figure 5-4
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question/answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Additional features
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional
features like:
•Uploading/downloading of presets
•Managing of preset lists
•Emulation of the Dealer Service Tool
SearchMan ( Electronic Service Manual )
If both ComPair and SearchMan are installed, all the
Schematics and PCBs of the faulty set are available when
clicking on the hyper-link of a schematic or a PCB in ComPair
Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568 (
Schematic/Panel ) at the Monocarrier.
Clicking on the PCB hyper-link, automatically shows the PCB
with a high-lighted capacitor C2568. Clicking on the schematic
hyper-link, automatically shows the position of a high-lighted
capacitor at the schematic.
5.8.2Connecting the ComPair interface
The ComPair Browser software should be installed and setup
before connecting ComPair to the L9.1A. (See the ComPair
Browser Quick Reference Card for installation instructions.)
1. ConnecttheRS232interfacecable to a free serial (COMM)
port on the PC and the ComPair interface PC connector
(connector marked with "PC").
2. Place the ComPair interface box straight in front of the
television with the infrared window (marked "IR") directed
to the television LED. The distance between ComPair
interface and television should be between 0.3 and 0.6
meter. (Note: make sure that (also) in the service position,
the ComPair interface infra red window is pointed to the
standby LED of the television set (no objects should block
the infra red beam)
3. Connect the mains adapter to the connector marked
"POWER 9V DC" on the ComPair interface
4. Switch the ComPair interface OFF
5. Switch the television set OFF with the mains switch
6. Remove the rear cover of the television set
7. Connect the interface cable (4822 727 21641) to the
connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface that is
marked "I2C" (See Figure 5.6)
Page 14
14L9.1A
5Fault finding and repair tips
8. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the
ComPair connector on the monocarrier (see figure 5.7)
9. Plug the mains adapter in the mains outlet and switch ON
the interface. The green and red LEDs light up together.
The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second (the
green LED remains lit).
10. Start-up ComPair and select "File" menu, "Open...:; select
"L9.1A Fault finding" and click "OK"
11. Click on the > icon to switch ON the communication mode
(the red LED on the ComPair interface wil light up)
12. Switch on the television set with the mains switch
13. When the set is in standby. Click on "Start-up in ComPair
mode from standby" in the ComPair L9.1A fault finding
tree, otherwise continue.
The set has now started up in ComPair mode. Follow the
instruction in the L9.1A fault finding tree to diagnose the set.
Note that the OSD works but that the actual user control is
disabled
5.8.3Preset installation

9Circuit description new circuits
9.1Introduction
9.1.1General
The switch mode power supply (SMPS) is mains isolated. The
control IC7520 (MC44603A) produces pulses for driving FET
7518. Power supply regulation is achieved by using duty cycle
control at a fixed frequency of nominal 40 kHz in normal
operation. In stand-by, slow-start and overload situations the
SMPS runs at frequencies other than 40 kHz.
Basic characteristics of this SMPS :
– Mains Isolated flyback Converter type
– Input range : 90 - 276 Volts AC
– Secondary Sensing by Opto-coupler
– IC7520 is Featured with Slow-Start circuitry
– Protection Circuits
– Degaussing circuit
9.1.2Output voltages
•Audio Supply ( +16.5V ) for the AUDIO AMPLIFIER (
Diagram A12 )
•Mains Supply ( +140V ) for the HORIZONTAL
DEFLECTION stage (A2) and the CRT discharge circuit
(A3)
•Vaux ( +11.3V ) for the Video IF (A5), Video processing
(A6) and Control circuit (A7)
9.1.3The switching periods of TS7518
The power supply duty cycle is dependent on the T-on of FET
7518.The FET is driven by pin 3of IC7520.ThisIC controls the
secondary voltage (VBATT via opto-coupler 7581 and
regulator 7570. The switching period of TS7518 can be divided
into three main phases: Duty cycle T-on, T-off and T-dead.
•During T-on, FET 7518 conducts.
•Energyis stored in the primarywinding (2-5)of transformer
T5545 by using a linear increasing primary current. The
slope depends on the rectified mains-voltage present
across C2508. The T-on period is varied to provide
regulation of the drive waveform at pin 3 of IC7520. By
controlling the duty cycle of the SMPS in this way the
(VBATT is controlled.
•During T-off, FET 7518 is switched off and therefore does
not conduct. The energy is now transferred to the
secondary side of the transformer and then supplied to the
load via the secondary diodes (D6550, D6560 and
D6570,D6590). The current through the secondary side of
the transformer decreases until it reaches zero.
•During T-dead FET 7518 does not conduct .The voltage at
the drain of the FET decays and eventually reaches the
input voltage of approximately 300V.
9.2Primary side
9.2.1Mains input and degaussing
initial power on. The PTC will then heat up due to the high
current involved and becomes high-ohmic which reduces
the degaussing-current. During normal operation, the
degaussing current is zero, because relay 1580 is open
due to the absence of the (P - Reset signal.
9.2.2Start up and take over
– Start-up : The start-up circuitry consisting of 3510, 3530
and 3529 use the voltage coming from the 230V AC mains
to start-up IC7520 via the supply pin 1. The output drive
waveform (pin 3) is blocked by using the ICs internal logic
until the voltage on pin 1 reaches 14.5 Volts however with
less than 14.5 volts on Pin 1 the IC only consumes 0.3mA.
Once pin 1 reaches the 14.5 Volts threshold, IC7520 will
start up (FET 7518 will conduct) and pin 1 sinks a typical
supply current of about 17 mA. This supply current cannot
be delivered by the start-up circuitry, so a take-over circuit
must be present. If take-over does not occur then the
voltage on pin 1 will decrease below 9V and IC7520 will
switch off. The supply begins a new Start-up cycle, seetop
of this paragraph. This cycle will repeat itself and can be
noticed by an audible hick-up sounding noise.
– Take for IC7520: During start-up a voltage across winding
8- 9 is gradually builtup. At the moment thevoltage across
winding 8 - 9 reaches approx. (14.5 Volts, D6540 start
conducting and takes over the supply voltage Vpin 1 of
IC7520 (take over current is approx. 17mA).
Note: This power supply is a SMPS (= Switched Mode Power
Supply) and not a SOPS (= Self Oscillating Power Supply).
9.3Control circuitry
9.3.1IC7520 control mechanisms
IC7520 controls the T-on time of FET 7518 in four different
ways:
•"Secondary-output-sensing"controls the secondary output
voltages via the feedback voltage pin 14
•"Primary current sensing" control due to the mains voltage
via the current sense voltage pin 7
•"Demagnetization control" prevents the transformer T5545
from going into saturation via the so-called "DEMAG"
function at pin 8
•Mains voltage control via R3514 and R3516
9.3.2Secondary voltage sensing (pin 14 of IC7520)
When the output voltage +VBATT increases (due to a
reduction in the load ) the current through the led in the optocoupler 7581 will increase due to the fact that the seriesresistor in regulator 7570 decreases. An increase in optocoupler led-current (7581) results in a decrease in the Vce of
transistor 7581, therefore the voltage across capacitor 2576
increases. This will reduce the on-time of FET 7518 due to an
increase of the voltage present on pin 14.
In the event of an increase of the load (decrease of output
voltage +VBATT ), the control circuit will work in the opposite
way to the explanation above.
– Mains voltage: this voltage is filtered by L5500 and L5502,
rectified by a diode bridge rectifier 6505 and then
smoothed by C2508 which provides a DC input voltage of
300V DC for an ac input voltage of 230V.
– Degaussing : R3503 is a PTC. When switching "on" the
set,thePTCiscold and has a low-ohmic value. Relay 1580
is activated while the Reset signal, coming from the (P is
present. This allows a very high degaussing current at
9.3.3Primary sensing (pin 7 of IC7520)
The current sense voltage at pin 7 is used to measure the
primary current through FET7518. The primary current is
converted into a voltage by R3518. R3514. 3516. couples a
partof the main voltage to the samepin7 of IC 7520 by dividing
this sample of the voltage.

9Circuit description new circuits
47L9.1A
Hencethehighertheinputvoltagethemoretheprimarycurrent
is limited. In this way the maximum output power of the powersupply is limited.
9.3.4Demagnetization control (pin 8 of IC7520)
Winding 8 - 9 has the same polarity as the secondary winding
that supplies the load. WhenFET 7518 is turned offthe voltage
at winding 9 becomes positive. The power supply transfers the
stored energy at the secondary side. Until the transformer is
demagnetized the voltage on the winding remains positive. At
the moment that the energy is fully transferred to the load, the
voltage at pin 9 of the transformer becomes negative.
Additionally with a certain dead time the voltage at control pin
8 of IC 7520 also drops below zero which releases the output
buffer (pin 3) and a new cycle starts.
9.3.5Peak current limiting
An internal clamp at pin 7 allows peak current limiting to be
achieved . This pin can never exceed 1V DC and so the
maximum primary current through FET 7518, and also the
maximum output power is determined. In case of an output
being short-circuited or loaded excessively, the I-prim
becomes too high which is detected by pin 7. As a result the
primary current is limited to its maximum value and the
secondary voltages will drop. The voltage at pin 1, which is
coupled with the output voltage, will also drop. When the
voltage at pin 1 drops below the 9V, IC7520 will stop
functioning and the output voltage will rapidly drop to zero.
Via start-up circuitry 3510, 3530 and 3529 the voltage
originating from the 230V AC mains is used to start-up IC7520
viathe supply pin 1. Assoon as this voltage reachesthe 14.5V,
IC7520 starts functioning. If the load is still too much or the
output is short-circuited the same cycle willhappen again. This
fault condition can be clearly identified as the power supply will
be loudly tripping.
9.3.6Slow-start
As soon as Vpin 1 > 14.5V the SMPS will start-up. During the
slow-start procedure both the frequency and the duty cycle will
be built up slowly. The duty cycle will initially slowly increase
commencing with the absolute lowest possible duty cycle. The
maximum duty cycle is determined by C2530 at pin 11 of
IC7520, as C2530 is uncharged at start-up.
9.3.7Standby mode
In standby mode the SMPS switches to the so-called "reduced
frequencymode" and runs at about20 kHz. During standby the
SMPS only has to deliver a minimal level of output power. The
minimal load threshold level is determined by R3532 at pin 12.
In the L9 chassis the SMPS does not have a burst mode in
standbybut only a reduced frequency mode ofabout20 kHz as
stated above. In normal operation mode the internal oscillator
is around 40 kHz. This frequency is controlled by C2531 at pin
10 of IC7520 and by R3537 at pin 16 of IC7520. In standby
modethe frequency of operation isdetermined byR3536 at pin
15 of IC7520.
9.3.8Protections
Over voltage protection of the secondary voltages.
After start-up the supply voltage pin 1 will be "taken over" by
winding8 - 9. Pin1 of IC 7520 isused to detect an over voltage
situation on the secondary side of the transformer. If this
voltage exceeds 17V (typically the output buffer is disabled,
and IC 7520 goes into over voltage protection and a complete
restart sequence is required. Check in this case IC7520,
IC7581 and the secondary voltage +VBATT ( +140V ).
REMARK: In the event of the over voltage situation remaining
present, the SMPS will go in protection, start up cycle,
protection, etc. The standby led on the front of the set starts
flashing.
Under voltage protection of the secondary voltages
If the supply voltage at pin 1 of IC 7520 drops below 9V
because of a short-circuit or excessive load, the drive pulse
present at pin 3 will be disabled and IC7520 will switch off the
complete SMPS. Capacitor C2450 is charged up via start-up
resistors 3510, 3530 and 3529, however once the voltage
exceeds 14.5V start up threshold, the SMPS will once again
commence a re start cycle.
Intheeventof the under voltage situation remaining, the SMPS
will again go in protection mode, startup cycle, protection, etc.
and so the cycle repeats. This effect is highly audible.

9.5.2Tuner
The PLL tuner (item 1000) is digitally controlled via the I2Cbus.The tuner is suitable toreceive off-air,S-(cable) and hyper
band channels.
Tuner pin description:
•Pin 1: AGC, Automatic gain control voltage input (0.3 -
4.0V)
•Pin 2: VT, tuning voltage input (not connected)
•Pin 3: AS, address select (not connected)
•Pin 4: SCL, IIC-bus serial clock
•Pin 5: SDA, IIC-bus serial data
•Pin 6: not connected
•Pin 7: Vs, PLL supply voltage +5V
•Pin 8: not connected
•Pin 9: Vst, tuning voltage +33V
•Pin 10: ground
•Pin 11: IF, asymmetrical IF output
Note: The +5V supply voltage and the +33V tuning voltage is
derived from the line output stage, see diagram A2).
9.5.3IF band pass filter (SAW FILTER)
Between the tuner output and the video IF input of the video
processor the IF band pass filtering take place. Filter 5002 is
tuned at 40.4MHz and serves as an extra suppression of the
neighbour channel. For the IF band pass filtering SAW filters
are used (item 1003 or 1004). 5 Types of SAW filters are used
depending of the version of the set.
9.5.4Video IF
General: Video IF-demodulation is achieved in combination
with reference circuit L5006 connected at pin 3 and 4 of
IC7250-A. The AGC control for the tuner is applied via pin 54
of IC7250-A. Internally the IC uses the top sync level as a
reference for AGC control. The AGC adjustment can be
readjusted via the SAM (service alignment menu). C2201
connected to pin 53 determines the time constant of the AGC.
The Base band CVBS signal is present at pin 6 of IC7250-A
(normal amplitude 3.2Vpp). From here the signal is fed via
Page 24
50L9.1A
9Circuit description new circuits
transistor7266tothesoundtrap filters and then on to the video
source selection circuit.
The main functions of the video IF partare (see also figure 9.5):
•IF- amplifier
•PLL-demodulator
•Video buffer
•AFC
•IF-AGC
•Tuner AGC
9.5.5IF- amplifier
The IF-amplifier incorporates symmetrical inputs (pins 48 and
49). By using IIC bus control (IFS) the AGC attenuation can be
adjusted by up to -20db.
Remark: If the BIMOS is replaced the AGC value should be
adjusted as part of the repairprocess. (see software alignment
adjustments).
9.5.6PLL-demodulator
The IF-signal is demodulated with the assistance of the PLL
detector. The video IF-demodulator can handle both negative
and positively modulated IF signals; selection is achieved via
the IIC bus (bit MOD).
9.5.7Video buffer
The video buffer is present to provide a lowohmic video output
with the required signal amplitude. Additionally, it provides
protection against (pin 6) the occurrence of noise peaks. The
video buffer stage also contains a level shifterand a gain stage
for both the positive and negative video modulation formats, so
that the correct video amplitude and DC level are always
present at pin 6 regardless of the input signal.
9.5.8Video-IF AGC
An AGC system controls the gain of the IF amplifier such that
thevideo output amplitude is constant.The demodulated video
signal is supplied, via a low pass filter inside the IC to an AGC
detector. External AGC de coupling is provided by capacitor
2201 at pin 53. The AGC detector voltage directly controls the
IF amplification stages.
9.5.9The tuner AGC
Tuner AGC is provided to reduce the tuner gain and thus the
tuner output voltage when receiving to strong RF signal. The
tuner AGC starts working when the video-IF input reaches a
certain input level. This level can be adjusted via the IIC bus.
The tuner AGC signal is applied to the tuner via the open
collector output pin 54 of the BIMOS.
9.5.10 AFC
The AFC output information is available for search tuning. The
AFCoutputisavailable via the I2C bus ( AFA and AFB signals).
For alignment purposes it is displayed in the TUNER submenu
of the SAM (See chapter 8).
9.6Video Signal Processing (see circuit diagram A6)
9.6.1Introduction:
The video signal processing can be divided in the following
parts:
•CVBS/Y/C input selection
•Luminance and chrominance signal processing
•PAL/NTSC and SECAM demodulation /Auto system
manager
•YUV/RGB processing/ black stretcher
•Second RGB insertion
•RGB processing
•Black current calibration loop
•Beaming current limiting
Above mentioned processing circuits are integrated in the TVprocessor (parts B and C). The surrounding components are
for the adaptation of the selected application. The I2C bus is
used for defining and controlling the signals.

9.6.2CVBS/Y/C selection
The input switches are used for selection of the input signal.
Three input signals can be selected:
•Pin 13: terrestrial CVBS input.
•Pin 17: external AV1 input.
•Pin10/11: external AV2-Y, CVBS/C input
Whenpin 11 is in the CVBS input mode thenpin 10 is not used.
When pin 11 is in the Y/C input mode then both pins are used
and the CHROMA filter in the Y signal path is switched off.
9.6.3Luminance / Chroma signal processing
Once the signal source has been selected, CHROMA filter
calibration is performed. The received colour burst-sub-carrier
frequency is used for the calibration. Correspondingly, the
CHROMA band-pass filter for PAL/NTSC processing or the
cloche filter for SECAM processing is switched on. Pins 34, 35
have the crystals connected to them. These crystals are used
for multi-purpose calibration of the burst sub-carrier. The
selected luminance signal is then supplied to the Horizontal
and Vertical synchronisation processing circuits and to the
luminance processing circuits. In the Luminance processing
block, the luminance signal is applied to the CHROMA trap.
This trap is switched on or off depending upon on the colour
burst detection of the CHROMA calibration circuit. Before the
luminance signal is applied to pin 28 of the TV-processor the
signal is applied to a "peaking" and "coring" circuit. In these
TO CRT
Page 25

circuits the sharpness and noise level of the signal can be
influenced via the remote control (control menu in the user
menu ).
9.6.4PAL, NTSC and SECAM demodulation via the Auto system
manager
The colour decoder circuit detects whether the signal is a PAL
or NTSC signal. The result is made known to the auto system
manager. The base-band delay line is activated whena PAL or
SECAM signal is detected. For the SECAM colour standard a
reference voltage is generated at pin16 of the TV-processor.
Connected at Pin 9 of the TV-processor, is the band-gap decoupling circuit, which consists of (2214,2215). The band-gap
circuit provides a very stable and temperature independent
reference voltage. It ensures optimal performance of the TVprocessorandis used by almost all functional blocks insidethe
processor. The Y signal and the demodulator outputs R-Y and
B-Y are present at pin28, 29, 30 ofthe TV-processor. The auto
system manager identifies PAL, NTSC and SECAM colour
standards and is controllable via the IICbus. Connected on pin
36 of the TV-processor is the LoopFilter for the phase detector
Thefilterchosenprovidesanoptimaltransientresponse,which
ensures both an optimum for noise bandwidth and colour
acquisition time.
9.6.5YUV / RGB processing/ black stretching
The signal Y, R-Y and B-Y presenton pins 27, 31, 32 of the TVprocessor are used as the input signals forthe colour decoding
section of the BiMOS (IC7520-C). The YUVprocessor enables
the colour saturation control and also converts the Y, B-Y and
B-Y signals to the R, G, B signal format via the colour matrix
circuit. The black stretcher circuit , initial stage of the matrix
circuit, extends the Grey signal level towards the actual black
level. The amount of extension depends upon the difference
between actual black level andthe darkest part of theincoming
video signal level. This feature is fully integrated. The user can
switch this circuit on or off by using the Contrast Plus option in
the user menu.
9.6.6Second RGB insertion
Pins 23, 24, 25 are used as the inputs for the second R, G, B
signals insertion. Pin 26 of the TV-processoris the inputfor the
insertion control signal which is called "FBL". When the FBL
signal level becomes higher than0.9V (but less than 3V)the R,
G, B signals at pins 23,24,25 are inserted into the picture by
using the internal switches incorporated in the TV-processor.
This second insertion possibility is used for insertion of the on
screen display signals , TXTor R. G. Bsignals from the CINCH
socket..
9.6.7RGB processing
skipped. By means of the inserted measuringpulses, the black
current calibration loop, tracks the beam current feed back of
the RGB signals at the cathodes ofthe picture tube. As a result
of this calibration, the individual black level of the RGB output
signals is shifted to a level which allocates around 10uAof
beam current to each of the RGB signals. Pin 18 (BC_info) of
the BIMOS is used as the feed back input from the CRT base
panel.
9.6.9Beam current limiting
A beam current limiting circuit inside the BiMOS handles the
contrast and brightness control for the RGB signals. This
prevents the CRT tube being over driven, which may cause
seriousdamageinthelineoutputstage.Thereferenceusedfor
this purpose is the DC voltage on Pin 22 (BLCIN) of the TVprocessor. Contrast and brightness reduction of the RGB
output signals is therefore proportional to the voltage present
on this pin. Contrast reduction starts when the voltage on pin
22 is lower than 3.0 V. Brightness reduction starts when the
voltage on pin 22 is less than 2.0 V.
The voltage on pin 22 is normally 3.3V (limitor not active). To
enable correct operation however, an external adaptation to
the circuit is required for the correct functioning of the limiting
function. This is connected to Pin 22, the circuit therefore
ensures that correct peak white limiting and the average beam
current limiting takes place. Components 6212, 2227, 3253,
3246 are for the average beam current limiting and the items
connected to 7263 are for the peak white limiting. As a
reference for the average beam current control the signal
EHT_info is used. This signal is a measurement of the picture
contents. It is filtered by 3253, 2227. As the time constant of
the filter is much bigger than the frame period time, the DC at
the anode of 6212 represents the average value of the picture
content. Via 6212 and 2226 the DC voltage at pin 22 is slowly
'clamped'. For peak white limiting transistor 7263 is utilised.
When peak white occurs, the DC voltage at the base of 7263
drops rapidly. 7263 starts conducting,which providesa path to
discharge the capacitor 2226 very fast. The voltage bias at the
base of 7263 is fixed via voltage divider 3251 and 3249. The
RGB output signals are appliedto the CRT panel viaconnector
0243. Via diodes 6263, 6264 and 6265 and series resistor
3253, the RGB signals are also connected to the
CRT_discharge signal. The level of this signal is only high
during the time the set is switched off. And id due to the
cathodes of the CRT are driven fullynegative. That meansthat
the beam current is increased. and consequently the CRT
quickly discharged.
9.6.10 CRT panel (see circuit diagram B)
On the CRT panel the output amplifiers for the RGB signals (
IC T7330, DA6107Q) are located. Viathe outputs 9, 8 and 7 of
the IC the cathodes of the CRT are driven. The supply voltage
for the IC is +200VA and is derived from the line output stage.
The RGB processing circuit enables the picture parameters to
be adjusted by using a combination of the user menus and the
remote control. Additionally automatic gain control forthe RGB
signals via cut-off stabilisation is achieved in this functional
block..
The block also inserts the cut off point "measuring pulses" into
the RGB signals during vertical retrace period.. From outputs
19,20 and 21 the RGB signals are then applied to the output
amplifiers on the CRT panel.

The black current calibration loop ensures that the white
balance at low signal levels and low light white balance is
