2.Safety instructions, maintenance instruction, warnings and Notes
2.1Safety instructions for repairs h?????????
h?????????
h?????????h?????????
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 h,
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 ('general repair
instruction'):
•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.
–T he insulation of the mains lead should be checked for
external damage.
2.2Maintenance instruction
– The mains lead strain relief should be checked for its
function in order to avoid touching the CRT, hot
components or heat sinks.
– The electrical DC resistance between the mains plug
and the secondary side should be checked (only for
sets which have a mains isolated power supply). This
check can be done as follows:
•Unplug the mains cord and connect a wire
between the two pins of the mains plug;
•Set the mains switch to the "on" position (keep the
mains cord unplugged!);
•Measure the resistance value between the pins of
the mains plug and the metal shielding of the tuner
or the aerial connection on the set. The reading
should be between 4.5 MΩ and 12 M
Ω
•Switch off the TV and remove the wire between the
two pins of the mains plug.
– The cabinet should be checked for defects to avoid
touching of any inner parts by the customer.
It is recommended to have a maintenance inspection carried
out by a qualified service employee. The interval depends on
the usage conditions:
– When the set is used under normal circumstances, for
example in a living room, the recommended interval is 3 to
5 years.
– When the set is used in circumstances with higher dust,
grease or moisture levels, for example in a kitchen, the
recommended interval is 1 year.
– The maintenance inspection contains the following actions:
•Execute the above mentioned 'general repair
instruction'.

2.4Notes
The direct voltages and oscillograms should be measured with
regard to the tuner earth (v), or hot earth (u) as this is called.
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.
Where necessary, the oscillograms and direct voltages are
measured with (D) and without aerial signal (E). Voltages in
the power supply section are measured both for normal
operation (G) and in standby (F). These values are indicated
by means of the appropriate symbols.
The picture tube PWB has printed spark gaps. Each spark gap
is connected between an electrode of the picture tube and the
Aquadag coating.
The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in the
parts lists are completely interchangeable per position with the
semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type indication
on these semiconductors.

5.2Service modes and Dealer Service Tool (DST)
For easy installation and diagnosis the dealer service tool
(DST) RC7150 can be used. When there is no picture (to
access the error code buffer via the OSD), DST can enable the
functionality of displaying the contents of the entire error code
buffer via the blinking LED procedure, see also paragraph 5.5.
The ordering number of 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-set (downloading from the GFL to
the DST; see GFL service manuals) or by the DST-I (DST
interface; ordering code 4822 218 21277). For explanation of
the installation features of the DST, the directions for use of the

DST are recommended (For the L9 chassis, download code X
should be used).
5.2.2Diagnose features for service
L9 sets can be put in two service modes via 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:
•provide a situation with predefined settings to get the same
measurements as in this manual
•override 5V protections in case of short circuiting pin 0228
and pin 0224 at A7.
•start the blinking LED procedure
•Setting of options controls
•Inspect the error buffer
Entering the SDM:
•By transmitting 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 shorting pin 0228 and 0224 on the mono-carrier ( A7 )
while switching on the set. After switching on the set the
short-circuit can be removed. ( Caution!! Override of 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 sets: tuning at 475.25 PAL (BTSC sets tuning of
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/repairing a set. "Ignoring" means that
the event that is triggered is not executed, the setting remains
unchanged.
• (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
Access to normal user menu
Pressing the "MENU" button on the remote control will enter the
normal user menu ( TV lock, Installation, Brightness, colour
and contrast ) while "SMD" remains displayed in top of screen).
Pressing the "MENU" key again will return to the last SDM
status.
Error buffer
Pressing the "OSD" button on the remote control shows all
OSD (incl. error buffer).
Access to SAM
By pressing the "CHANNEL DOWN" and "VOLUME DOWN"
buttons on the local keyboard simultaneously or pressing
"ALIGN" on theDST
DST, the set switches from SDM to SAM
In the SDM the following information is displayed on the
screen:

7. "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, the P+ 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. When the option RC = OFF it is
not possible to change the channel preset or to adjust the
volume when in SAM/SDM menu. Using a L9 remote control,
option-code RC = ON, the P+, P-, VOL- and VOL+ can be used
to change the preset and/or to adapt the volume, while the
menu-cursor keys are used to select the option and to change
its value.
For an extended overview of the option codes see Chapter 8 Options
5.2.5Service Alignment Mode (SAM)
The purpose of the SAM is to do tuning adjustments, align the
white tone, adjust the picture geometry and do sound
adjustments.
For recognition of the SAM, "SAM" is displayed at the top of the
right side of the screen
Entering SAM:

•V60 : Default value = 12 ; Do not align
•VSC : Vertical S correction
•VSH : Vertical shift
5.4Error code buffer and error codes
5.4.1Error code buffer
The error code buffer contains all errors detected 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,
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.
•The error buffer is not reset by leaving SDM or SAM with
the mains error buffer is not switch.
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 case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before
starting the repair to prevent that "old" error codes are present.
If possible check the entire content of the error buffers. In some
situations an error code 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.
a. Error 0 = No error
b. Error 1 = X-ray ( Only for USA sets )
c. Error 2 = High beam current protection
High beam protection active; set is switched to 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 +160V supply to the CRT panel is present. If
the voltage is present, the most likely cause is the CRT
panel or the picture tube. Disconnect the CRT panel to
determine the cause. If the +160V voltage is not present,
check R3416 and D6409 ( Horizontal Deflection - A2 )
EW protection:
If this protection is active, the cause could be one of the
following items;
horizontal deflection coil 5445
S-correction capacitor 2407
flyback capacitor 2434
line output stage
short circuit of flyback diode 6434
EW power-transistor 7402 or driver-transistor 7400
d. Error 3 = Vertical / Frame protection
There are no pulses detected at pin 37 of the main
microprocessor 7600 ( panel A7 ).
If this protection is active, the causes could be one of the
following items;
IC 7460 is faulty ( A3 )
Open circuit of vertical deflection coil
Vlotaux +13V not present and/or Vlotaux -13V not present
Resistor 3463
Transitor 7609 is defect ( A7 )
MSP3415D )
Sound processor does not respond to the micro controller
f. Error 5 = Bimos ( IC7250 ) start-up error ( POR bit )
Page 18
GB 18L9.2A5.
Service Modes, fault finding and repair tips
Bimos start-up register is corrupted or the I2C line 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.
g. 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)
h. 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.
k. Error 10 = I2C error EEP R O M . NV mem ory (EEPROM)
does not respond to the micro controller
l. 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.
m. Error 12 = Black current loop instability protection. The
black current could not be stabilised. The possible cause
could be a defect in one or more of the RGB amplifiers,
RGB guns or RGB driving signals.
5.5The "blinking LED" procedure
The contents of the error buffer can also be made visible
through the "blinking LED" procedure. This is especially useful
when there is no picture. There are two methods:
•When the SDM is entered, the LED will blink the number of
times, equal to the value of the last (newest) error code
(repeatedly).
•With the DST all error codes in the error buffer can be
made visible. Transmit the command: "DIAGNOSE x OK"
where x is the position in the error buffer to be made visible
x ranges from 1, (the last (actual) error) to 5 (the first error).
The LED will operate in the same way as in point 1, but now
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.
•after transmitting "DIAGNOSE- 4- OK" with the DST
nothing happens
5.6TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS
In this paragraph some trouble shooting tips for the deflection
and power supply circuitry are described. For detailed
diagnostics, check the fault finding tree or use COMPAIR.
5.6.1THE DEFLECTION CIRCUIT:
1. Measure the +VBATT ( 95V) is present across 2551 ( A2 Line deflection ). If the voltage is not present, disconnect
coil 5551. (Horizontal deflection stage is disconnected). If
the voltage is present then the problem might be caused by
the deflection circuit. Possibilities:
•Transistor 7402 is faulty
•The driver circuit around transistor 7400 is faulty
•No horizontal drive signal coming from the BIMOS
7250-D pin 40 ( A4 - Synchronisation )
•Timer-IC 7607 or transitor 7608 is defect ( A7 -
Control )
2. Note: If the Collector of 7402 is shorted to the Emitter, hickup noise can be heard from the power supplyIn this case
the E/W protection is disabled.is correctly working ( a
parabolic picture )
3. Also take note of protection circuits in the line output stage.
If any of these circuits are activated, the set will shut down.
Depending on the protection, the led will blink according to
the fault defined. In order to determine which protection
circuit is active, isolation of each separate circuit is
necessary. These protection circuits are:
•High beam current protection ( LED blinks repetitively
2 times ) - CRT panel ( B )
•Vertical protection ( LED blinks repetitively 3 times ) -
Vertical deflection ( A3 )
5.6.2THE POWER SUPPLY
To trouble shoot the L9.2A SMPS, first check the Vaux voltage
on C2561. If this voltage is not present, check fuse F1572 and
D6560. If F1572 or D6560 is not open circuit, the problem might
be caused on the primary side of the switching supply. Check
the output of the bridge rectifier on C2508 for approximately
300V DC at an input voltage of 230Vac. If this voltage is
missing, check the bridge diodes 6502 .. 6505 and the fuse
1500. If fuse F1500 is found open, 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 startup voltage of approx. 13V on pin 1 of IC7520. If no start-up
voltage is present, check if R3510 is open or zener 6510 is a
short-circuit. It is necessary to have a feedback signal from the
hot primary side of switch mode transformer T5545 at pin 1 and
pin 2 for the power supply to oscillate. If the start-up voltage of
13V is present 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 - P1. Check pin 3 of IC7520 and R3525.
To determined whether OVP is active, check the presence of
Vaux at C2561.
5.6.3Customer Service Mode (CSM)
All L9 sets are equipped with the "Customer Service Mode"
(CSM). CSM is a special service mode that can be activated
and deactivated by the customer, upon request of the service
technician/dealer during a telephone conversation in order to
identify the status of the set. This CSM is a 'read only' mode,
therefore modifications 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
•"Service unfriendly modes" are ignored
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.
All settings that were changed at activation of CSM are set
back to the initial values

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 L9.2A.
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 access the I2C bus of the
television. ComPair can send and receive I2C commands to
the micro controller of the television. In this way it is possible for
ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the
I2C busses of the L9.2A.
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

5.7ComPair
5.7.1Introduction
Compair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the DST service remote control allowing faster
and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair has three big
advantages:
•ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding how to
repair the L9.2A 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
automatically communicate with the L9.2A (when the micro
processor is working) and all repair information is directly
available. When ComPair is installed together with the
SearchMan L9.2A 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 L9.2A chassis, the ComPair
interface box and the L9.2A communicate via an I2C cable (bidirectional) and via infra red communication (uni-directional;
from ComPair interface box to L9.2A)
Figure 5-6
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
5.7.2SearchMan (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.
5.7.3Connecting the ComPair interface
The ComPair Browser software should be installed and setup
before connecting ComPair to the L9.2A. (See the ComPair
Browser Quick Reference Card for installation instructions.)

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

•Mains Supply ( +140V ) for the HORIZONTAL
DEFLECTION stage (A2) and the CRT discharge circuit

•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
•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,
the PTC is cold 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
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.
9.1.3The switching periods of TS7518
The power supply duty cycle is dependent on the T-on of FET
7518. The FET is driven by pin 3 of IC7520. This I C 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.
•Energy is stored in the primary winding (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
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, see top
Page 25

GB 57L9.2A9.
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 built up. At the moment the voltage 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 opto-coupler 7581
will increase due to the fact that the series-resistor in regulator
7570 decreases. An increase in opto-coupler 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.
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
part of the main voltage to the same pin 7 of IC 7520 by dividing
this sample of the voltage.
Hence the higher the input voltage the more the primary current
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. When FET 7518 is turned off the 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.
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
via the supply pin 1. As soon as this voltage reaches the 14.5V,
IC7520 starts functioning. If the load is still too much or the
output is short-circuited the same cycle will happen 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
frequency mode" and runs at about 20 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
standby but only a reduced frequency mode of about 20 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
mode the frequency of operation is determined by R3536 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
winding 8 - 9. Pin 1 of IC 7520 is used 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.
In the event of the under voltage situation remaining, the SMPS
will again go in protection mode, start up cycle, protection, etc.
and so the cycle repeats. This effect is highly audible.
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

9.4.22CS
It is used on some cable television networks.
The diagram below indicates the AUDIO path for 2CS.
The CVBS + SIF signals present at pin 6 from BIMOS, TDA8844-, are passed through a high pass filter and are then
fed back into pin 58 of IC 7803 (MSP3415D) for further
demodulation. All variants of 2CS are demodulated in this IC.
In Figure 9.13 a simplified block diagram of the video path is
shown. The main item in the block diagram shown in Fig.9.13
is the video processor item 7250. The IC performs the following
functions, video IF demodulation, chroma processing and RGB
processing. Additionally synchronisation processing, mono IF
audio demodulation and audio selection takes place.
One version of video processor is used:
•TDA8844 N2 for SW CENELEC BG/DK, CENELEC I
NICAM, CENELEC BG NICAM
For a detailed block diagram of the TDA8844/8845 see Figure
9.12.

GB 59L9.2A9.
9.5.2Tuner
The PLL tuner (item 1000) is digitally controlled via the I2Cbus. The tuner is suitable to receive 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
transistor 7266 to the sound trap filters and then on to the video
source selection circuit.
The main functions of the video IF part are (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 repair process. (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 low ohmic 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 shifter and 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
the video output amplitude is constant. The demodulated video
signal is supplied, via a low pass filter inside the I C 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
AFC output is available via the I2C bus ( AFA and AFB signals).
For alignment purposes it is displayed in the TUNER submenu
of the SAM (See chapter 8).

9.6.2CVBS/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
When pin 11 is in the CVBS input mode then pin 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

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 when a PAL or
SECAM signal is detected. For the SECAM colour standard a
reference voltage is generated at pin16 of the TV-processor.
160299
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 TVprocessor and is used by almost all functional blocks inside the
processor. The Y signal and the demodulator outputs R-Y and
B-Y are present at pin 28, 29, 30 of the TV-processor. The auto
system manager identifies PAL, NTSC and SECAM colour
standards and is controllable via the IIC bus. Connected on pin
36 of the TV-processor is the Loop Filter for the phase detector
The filter chosen provides an optimal transient response, 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 present on pins 27, 31, 32 of the TVprocessor are used as the input signals for the colour decoding
section of the BiMOS (IC7520-C). The YUV processor 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 and the darkest part of the incoming
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.
Page 29
Circuit description new circuits
GB 61L9.2A9.
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-processor is the input for the
insertion control signal which is called "FBL". When the FBL
signal level becomes higher than 0.9V (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 , TXT or R. G. B signals from the CINCH
socket..
9.6.7RGB processing
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 for the 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.
9.6.8Black current calibration loop
The black current calibration loop ensures that the white
balance at low signal levels and low light white balance is
skipped. By means of the inserted measuring pulses, the black
current calibration loop, tracks the beam current feed back of
the RGB signals at the cathodes of the 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
serious damage in the line output stage. The reference used for
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 provides a 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 applied to the CRT panel via connector
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 fully negative. That means that
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. Via the 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.
