Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes
2.Safety Instructions, Warnings, and Notes
EN 5LC4.2E AA2.
2.1Safety Instructions
Safety regulations require that during a repair:
•Connect the set to the Mains via an isolation transformer (>
800 VA).
•Replace safety components, indicated by the symbol h,
only by components identical to the original ones. Any
other component substitution (other than original type) may
increase risk of fire or electrical shock hazard.
Safety regulations require that after a repair, the set must be
returned in its original condition. Pay in particular attention to
the following points:
•Route the wire trees correctly and fix them with the
mounted cable clamps.
•Check the insulation of the Mains lead for external
damage.
•Check the strain relief of the Mains cord for proper function.
•Check the electrical DC resistance between the Mainsplug
and the secondary side (only for sets which have a Mains
isolated power supply):
1. Unplug the Mains cord and connect a wire between the
two pins of the Mains plug.
2. Set the Mains switch to the "on" position (keep the
Mains cord unplugged!).
3. 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.
4. Switch "off" the set, and remove the wire between the
two pins of the Mains plug.
•Check the cabinet for defects, to avoid touching of any
inner parts by the customer.
2.2Warnings
•All ICs and many other semiconductors are susceptible to
electrostatic discharges (ESD w). Careless handling
during repair can reduce life drastically. Make sure that,
during repair, 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.
Available ESD protection equipment:
– Complete kit ESD3 (small tablemat, wristband,
connection box, extension cable and earth cable) 4822
310 10671.
– Wristband tester 4822 344 13999.
•Be careful during measurements in the high voltage
section.
•Never replace modules or other components while the unit
is switched "on".
•When you align the set, use plastic rather than metal tools.
This will prevent any short circuits and the danger of a
circuit becoming unstable.
2.3Notes
2.3.1 General
•Measure the voltages and waveforms with regard to the
chassis (= tuner) ground (H), or hot ground (I), depending
on the tested area of circuitry. The voltages and waveforms
shown in the diagrams are indicative. Measure them in the
Service Default Mode (see chapter 5) with a colour bar
signal and stereo sound (L: 3 kHz, R: 1 kHz unless stated
otherwise) and picture carrier at 475.25 MHz for PAL, or
61.25 MHz for NTSC (channel 3).
•Where necessary, measure the waveforms and voltages
with (D) and without (E) aerial signal. Measure the
voltages in the power supply section both in normal
operation (G) and in standby (F). These values are
indicated by means of the appropriate symbols.
•The semiconductors indicated in the circuit diagram and in
the parts lists, are interchangeable per position with the
semiconductors in the unit, irrespective of the type
indication on these semiconductors.
•Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the “double-D symbol”, are
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
E_06532_006.eps

Figure 2-1 Dolby PL Symbol
2.3.2Schematic 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 given in micro-farads (µ= x10
nano-farads (n= x10
•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.
2.3.3Rework on BGA (Ball Grid Array) ICs
General
Although (LF)BGA assembly yields are very high, there may
still be a requirement for component rework. By rework, we
mean the process of removing the component from the PWB
and replacing it with a new component. If an (LF)BGA is
removed from a PWB, the solder balls of the component are
deformed drastically so the removed (LF)BGA has to be
discarded.
Device Removal
As is the case with any component that, it is essential when
removing an (LF)BGA, the board, tracks, solder lands, or
surrounding components are not damaged. To remove an
(LF)BGA, the board must be uniformly heated to a temperature
close to the reflow soldering temperature. A uniform
temperature reduces the chance of warping the PWB.
To do this, we recommend that the board is heated until it is
certain that all the joints are molten. Then carefully pull the
component off the board with a vacuum nozzle. For the
appropriate temperature profiles, see the IC data sheet.
Area Preparation
When the component has been removed, the vacant IC area
must be cleaned before replacing the (LF)BGA.
Removing an IC often leaves varying amounts of solder on the
mounting lands. This excessive solder can be removed with
either a solder sucker or solder wick. The remaining flux can be
removed with a brush and cleaning agent.
After the board is properly cleaned and inspected, apply flux on
the solder lands and on the connection balls of the (LF)BGA.
Note: Do not apply solder paste, as this has shown to result in
problems during re-soldering.

),
).
EN 6LC4.2E AA2.
Device Replacement
The last step in the repair process is to solder the new
component on the board. Ideally, the (LF)BGA should be
aligned under a microscope or magnifying glass. If this is not
possible, try to align the (LF)BGA with any board markers.
To reflow the solder, apply a temperature profile according to
the IC data sheet. So as not to damage neighbouring
components, it may be necessary to reduce some
temperatures and times.

“Workshop Information”. Here you will find Information on how
to deal with BGA-ICs.
2.3.4 Lead Free Solder
Some PWBs in this chassis are “lead-free prepared”. This is
indicated on the PWB by the PHILIPS lead-free logo (either by
a service-printing or by a sticker). It does not mean that leadfree solder is actually used!

2.3.5 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.

5.4ComPair
5.4.1 Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the European DST (service remote control),
which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair
has three big advantages:
ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how to
repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you systematically
through the repair procedures.
ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on 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 SearchMan electronic
manual of the defective chassis, schematics and PWBs are
only a mouse click away.
5.4.2 Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based faultfinding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial
or RS232 cable.
In this chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV
communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service
connector.
The ComPair faultfinding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in two ways:
•Automatic (by communication with the television):
ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the
entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on 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
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
EN 15LC4.2E AA5.
communicate (read and write) to devices on the I2C
busses of the TV-set.
•Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain extend.
When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through
the faultfinding tree by asking you questions (e.g. Does the
screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES /
NO) and showing you examples (e.g. Measure test-point I7
and click on the correct waveform you see on the
oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g.
text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next
step in the faultfinding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional features like:
•Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
•Managing of pre-set lists.
•If both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service
Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of
the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink. Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568 (Schematic/Panel) at the Mono-carrier.
– Click on the 'Panel' hyperlink to automatically show the
PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
– Click on the 'Schematic' hyperlink to automatically
show the position of the highlighted capacitor.
5.4.3 How To Connect
1. First, install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick
Reference Card for installation instructions).
2. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial
(COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked with
'PC') of the ComPair interface.
3. Connect the mains adapter to the supply connector
(marked with 'POWER 9V DC') of the ComPair interface.
4. Switch the ComPair interface “off”.
5. Switch the television set “off” with the mains switch.
6. Connect the ComPair interface cable with the connector on
the rear side of the ComPair interface (marked with 'I2C')
and the additional ComPair interface cable. Connect the
other side of the additional ComPair interface cable with
the ComPair (or Service) connector at the rear side of the
TV.
7. Plug the mains adapter in a mains outlet, and switch the
interface “on”. The green and red LEDs light up together.
The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while the
green LED remains lit.
8. Start the ComPair program and read the 'Introduction'
chapter.
Note: If you encounter any problems, contact your local
support desk.
5.5Error Codes
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, it is displayed at the left side and all other errors shift one
position to the right.
5.5.1How To Read The Error Buffer
You can read the error buffer in 3 ways:
•On screen via the SAM (if you have a picture).
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: 9 6 0 0 0 : Error code 6 was detected first and
error code 9 is the last detected (newest) error
•Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no
picture). See “The Blinking LED Procedure”.
•Via ComPair.
5.5.2How To Clear The Error Buffer
The error code buffer is cleared in the following cases:
•By using the CLEAR command in the SAM menu:
– To enter SAM, press the following key sequence on the
remote control transmitter: “062596” directly followed
by the OSD/STATUS button (do not allow the display
to time out between entries while keying the
sequence).
– Make sure the menu item CLEAR is highlighted. Use
the MENU UP/DOWN buttons, if necessary.
– Press the MENU RIGHT button to clear the error
buffer. The text on the right side of the “CLEAR” line will
change from “CLEAR?” to “CLEARED”
•If the contents of the error buffer have not changed for 50
hours, the error buffer resets automatically.
Note: If you exit SAM by disconnecting the mains from the
television set, the error buffer is not reset.
5.5.3Error Codes
Figure 5-5 ComPair Interface connection
In case of non-intermittent faults, write down the errors present
in the error buffer and clear the error buffer before you begin
the repair. This ensures that old error codes are no longer
present.
EN 16LC4.2E AA5.
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
If possible, check the entire contents of the error buffer. In
some situations, an error code is only the result of another error
and not the actual cause of the problem (for example, a fault in
the protection detection circuitry can also lead to a protection).

5.6The Blinking LED Procedure
Using this procedure, you can make the contents of the error
buffer visible via the front LED. This is especially useful when
there is no picture.
When the SDM is entered, the front LED will blink the contents
of the error-buffer:
•The Led blinks with as many pulses as the error code
number, followed by a time period of 1.5 seconds, in which
the Led is off.
•Then this sequence starts is repeated.
Any RC5 command terminates this sequence.
Example of error buffer: 12 9 6 0 0
After entering SDM, the following occurs:
•1 long blink of 5 seconds to start the sequence,
•12 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds,
•9 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds,
•6 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds,
•1 long blink of 1.5 seconds to finish the sequence,
•The sequence starts again at 12 short blinks.

5.7.2 Load default NVM values
In case a blank NVM is placed or when the NVM content is
corrupted, default values can be downloaded into the NVM.
After the default values are downloaded it will be possible to
start up and to start aligning the TV set. This is no longer
initiated automatically; to initiate the download the following
action has to be performed:
1. Switch off the TV set via the mains switch
2. Short circuit the SDM jumpers (keep short circuited)
3. Press P+ or Ch+ on the local keyboard (and keep it
pressed)
4. Switch on the TV set via the mains switch
5. When the set has started up the P+/Ch+ button can be
released and the short circuit of the SDM jumpers can be
removed.
6. The red LED will be on continuously to indicate that the
download is initiated (normally when SDM is activated the
red LED will start with the Blinking LED sequence).
7. Wait +/- 30 Seconds (time needed to download default
values to the NVM)
Result: The set is in SDM, the NVM is loaded with default
values and the blinking LED is not activated (The blinking LED
is not activated in this case to show that the download has been
performed), the LED will be on.
5.7.3 Tuner and IF
No Picture in RF mode
1. Check whether picture is present in AV. If not, go to Video
processing troubleshooting section.
2. If present, check that the Option settings are correct.
3. Check that all supply voltages are present.
4. Check if I2C lines are working correctly (3.3V).
5. Manually store a known channel and check if there is IF
output at Tuner pin 11.
6. Feed in 105 dBuV at Tuner pin 11 and check whether there
is RGB output from Video Processing IC. If yes, Tuner may
be defected. Change Tuner.
Sound in picture problem for L' system (rolling horizontal
lines)
1. Check whether AGC L' in Sam mode is set to 0.
2. If yes, align the set to correct value.
Required system is not selected correctly
1. Check whether the Service jumper (#4022, 08 05 size) is
present. If yes, remove it.
2. Check whether SEL_IF pin is according to what is
specified.
5.7Fault Finding and Repair Tips
Notes:
•It is assumed that the components are mounted correctly
with correct values and no bad solder joints.
•Before any fault finding actions, check if the correct options
are set.
5.7.1 NVM Editor
In some cases, it can be handy if one directly can change the
NVM contents. This can be done with the “NVM Editor” in SAM
mode.
Service Modes, Error Codes, and Fault Finding
5.7.4 Video Processing
No power
1. Check +12 V and 3V3 at position 1910.
2. If no supply, check the connector 1910.
3. If it is correct, check the power supply board.
Power supply is correct but no green light
1. Check the two connectors 1005 and 1601, if they are
properly inserted.
2. If they are inserted correctly, check if the 3V3 is present.
No picture display
1. Check the RGB signal.
2. If it is present, check 3-IC7016 (NE555).
3. If it has output, the problem is in SCALER part.
4. Otherwise, check H-out on pin 2 of NE555. If the input
signal of pin2 is present, but no output, the IC is failed.
Note:
•If the H-out (pin 67) doesn’t have signal or the level is low,
check the output of NE555 (pin 3) during start up.
•If the H-out (pin 67) has a signal (or has a signal for a very
short time), change IC7016 (NE555).
No TV but PC is present
1. Check if HSYNC and VSYNC are present at PIN 3 of 7071
and 7015.
2. If they are present, check RGB output.
3. If there is no RGB output, the IC TDA120xx can be failed.
EN 17LC4.2E AA5.
Comb Filter not working
1. Check the option bit 5 in SAM.
2. Check NVM setting. Address 1229 is 0000.
5.7.5 Power Supply
Check fuses
This power supply contains three fuses. One is near the mains
inlet (marked on the board as 1102) and two other are near the
output connectors (marked 1610 and 1660).
1. Check with power supply in off state by means of ohmic
measurement.
2. Fuse 1102 may open in case of severe lightning strikes
and/or failures in the power supply. Despite the fact, that
this fuse is mounted in a fuse holder and the marking text
on the board, it is not meant to be field replaceable.
3. Fuses 1610 and 1660 may open in case a severe overload
of the 12 V outputs. Replacement of the power supply is
needed, but not before the cause of the overload
conditions is resolved.
Standby mode
1. Apply a 12 ohm load resistor of sufficient power rating to all
outputs (+3 V3, +12 VAL, +12 VL and +24 V). Connect the
STBY pin to GND.
2. Over an input voltage range of 90 V_ac to 264 V_ac only
the +3 V3 output shall be up and within regulation (±5%).
The voltage on the POWER DOWN pin shall be < 0.3 V at
an input voltage below 160 V_ac, and 3.3 V ±10% at an
input voltage higher than 240 V_ac.
Normal mode:
1. Apply a 12 ohm load resistor of sufficient power rating to all
outputs (+3 V3, +12 VAL, +12 VL and +24 V). Connect the
STBY pin to the +3 V3 output.
2. Over an input voltage range of 90 V _ac to 264 V_ac all
outputs shall be up and within regulation (±5%). The
voltage on the POWER DOWN pin shall be 3.3 V ±10%
over the entire input voltage range. Additionally, the
voltage on the big capacitor mounted flat on the PCB shall
be 400 V ±10%

The PLL tuner UR1316 (with FM radio) delivers the IF-signal,
via audio & video SAW-filters, to the Video Signal Processor
and FLASH embedded TEXT/Control/Graphics Micro
Controller TDA120x1 (item 7011, also called Hercules). This IC
has the following functions:
•Analogue Video Processing
•Sound Demodulation
•Audio Interfaces and switching
•Volume and tone control for loudspeakers
•Reflection and delay for loudspeaker channels
•Micro Controller
•Data Capture
•Display
The Hercules has one input for the internal CVBS signal and a
video switch with 3 external CVBS inputs and a CVBS output.
All CVBS inputs can be used as Y-input for Y/C signals.
However, only 2 Y/C sources can be selected because the
circuit has 2 chroma inputs. It is possible to add an additional
CVBS(Y)/C input (CVBS/YX and CX) when the YUV interface
and the RGB/YPRPB input are not needed. Two SCARTconnectors are used: SCART1 is fully equipped and SCART2
is meant for VCR. Pin 10 of SCART2 is used for Easylink (P50)
and there is a possibility for Y/C in. The CVBS-out on pin 19
can be used for WYSIWYR (What You See Is What You
Record).

The video part delivers the RGB signals to the Scaler IC.
The Genesis GM1501 Malibu Scaler IC can receive two video
input signals: SDTV (from Hercules), DVI (from external DVI
source), or PC (from external computer).
After the video processing, the digital data is send via a Low
Voltage Differential Signalling bus to the LCD panel. LVDS is
used to improve data speed and to reduce EMI significantly.
There are two I2C lines and two interrupt and communication
lines (TV_IRQ and TV_SC_COM) for the Scaler control. The
Scaler communicates with the Hercules as a slave device. To
avoid buffer overflow at the Scaler side, the TV_SC_COM line
provides the necessary hardware flow control. To allow bidirectional communication, the Scaler can initiate a service
interrupt-request to the Hercules via the TV_IRQ line.
The Hercules, and EEPROM are supplied with 3.3 V, which is
also present during STANDBY.
The EEPROM, or NVM (Non Volatile Memory) is used to store
the settings.
The sound part is built up around the Hercules. The Source
Selection, Decoding and Processing are all done by the
Hercules.
Power supply input are several DC voltages coming from a
supply panel.
9.3Power Supply
9.5.1Video IF amplifier
The IF-filter is integrated in a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave)
filter. One for filtering IF-video (1328) and one for IF-audio
(1330). The type of these filters is depending of the standard(s)
that has to be received.
The output of the tuner is controlled via an IF-amplifier with
AGC-control. This is a voltage feedback from pin 31 of the
Hercules to pin 1 of the tuner. The AGC-detector operates on
top sync and top white level. AGC take-over point is adjusted
via the service alignment mode ’Tuner' - 'AGC’. If there is too
much noise in the picture, then it could be that the AGC setting
is wrong. The AGC-setting could also be mis-aligned if the
picture deforms with perfect signal; the IF-amplifier amplifies
too much.
For Service, this supply panel is a black box. When defect (this
can be traced via the fault-finding tips, or by strange
phenomena), a new panel must be ordered (see table below for
ordering codes), and after receipt, the defective panel must be
send for repair.

263122 137 23080
9.4Input/Output
The I/O is divided over two parts: Rear I/O and Side I/O. The
rear has two SCART inputs, a PC (VGA) input, a DVI input, and
an Audio input. The side has a CVBS and Y/C (SVHS) input.
EXT1: The input of SCART1 is CVBS + RGB + L/R and the
output is the video (+ sound) signal from the tuner
(SC1_CVBS_RF_OUT).
EXT2: The input of SCART2 is Y/C + CVBS + L/R. The output
signal is CVBS_SC2_MON_OUT (+ sound).
SCART2 is meant for VCR and has therefore some additional
signals in relation to EXT1 but no RGB: it has the possibility for
Y/C_in: Y_in on pin 20 and Chroma_in on pin 15.
The selection of the external I/O's is controlled by the Hercules.
PC (VGA) in: This input is directly going to the Scaler IC. See
paragraph “Video: Scaler Part”.
DVI-D in: This input is directly going to the Scaler IC. See
paragraph “Video: Scaler Part”.
9.5Tuner and IF
A Philips UR13xx Tuner with second input (for FM Radio) is
used in the TV board. The SIF and FM signals are decoded by
the Hercules. Tuning is done via I2C.

The video processing is completely handled by the Hercules
•IF demodulator.
•Chrominance decoder
•Sync separator.
•Horizontal & vertical drive.
•RGB processing.
•CVBS and SVHS source select.
It has also build in features like:
•CTI.
•Black stretch.
•Blue stretch.
•White stretch.
•Slow start up.
•Dynamic skin tone correction etc.
Further, it also incorporates sound IF traps and filters, and
requires only one crystal for all systems.
9.6.1 Histogram (YUV picture improvement) IC
The demodulated video-signal can be checked on pins 74, 75,
and 76 of IC7011 and is fed to pins 70, 71, and 72. In this path,
the Histogram IC TDA9171 is inserted.
This TDA9178 can control various picture improvements:
•Histogram processing.
•Colour transient improvement.
•Luminance transient improvement.
•Black and white stretch.
•Skin tone correction.
•Green enhancement.
•Blue stretch.
•Smart peaking.
•Video dependent coring.
•Colour dependent stretching.
Since the TDA9171 is connected to the Hercules, picture
improvement works only for signals that are routed trough the
Hercules and not for signals directly connected to the Scaler.
9.7Video: Scaler Part (diagram A7 and A13)
The Genesis gm1501 Scaler is a dual channel graphics and
video processing IC for LCD monitors and televisions
incorporating Picture in Picture, up to SXGA output resolutions.
The Scaler controls the display processing in an LCD TV, e.g.
like the deflection circuit in a CRT-based TV. It controls all the
view modes (e.g. like "zooming" and "shifting"). Features like
PC (VGA) or HD inputs, are also handled by this part.

permit the Scaler to connect to a variety of display devices
using a TTL or LVDS interface. The output interface is
configurable for single or dual wide TTL/LVDS in 18, 24 or 30bit RGB pixels format. All display data and timing signals are
synchronous with the DCLK output clock. The integrated LVDS
transmitter is programmable to allow the data and control
signals to be mapped into any sequence depending on the
specified receiver format.
9.8Video: Pixel Plus Part (diagram PP1 to PP4)
The Pixel Plus functionality is completely handled by an
Electronic Programmable Logic Device, EPLD (item 7101 on
diagram PP1, PP3). The LVDS output from the TV & Scaler
Board is fed trough a LVDS receiver (item 7201 on diagram
PP2) and then delivered to the EPLD. The EPLD processes the
signal and it is fed to the LCD panel via a LVDS transmitter
(item 7403 on diagram PP3).
The EPLD takes care of all picture improvement processing,
like:
•Colour improvement
– Blue stretch
– Green enhancement
– Saturation control
Circuit Descriptions, Abbreviation List, and IC Data Sheets
– Sharpness meter
•Contrast improvement
•Gamma Look-Up Table
All other picture improvement processing is done in the Scaler.

The audio decoding is done entirely via the Hercules. The IF
output from the Tuner is fed directly to either the Video-IF or the
Sound-IF input depending on the type of concept chosen.
There are mainly two types of decoder in the Hercules, an
analogue decoder that decodes only Mono, regardless of any
standards, and a digital decoder (or DEMDEC) that can decode
both Mono as well as Stereo, again regardless of any
standards.
In this chassis, the analogue decoder is used in two cases:
•It is used for AM Sound demodulation in the Europe
SECAM LL’ transmission.
•It is used for all FM demodulation in AV-Stereo sets.

•For the case of NAFTA and LATAM, there is only one
transmission standard, which is the M standard. The
diversity then will be based on whether it has a dBx noise
reduction or a Non-dBx (no dBx noise reduction).
•For the case of AP, the standard consists of BG/DK/I/M for
a Multi-System set. The diversity here will then depends on
the region. AP China can have a Multi-System and I/DK
version. For India, it might only be BG standard.
9.9.2 Functionality
The features available in the Hercules are as follows:
•Treble and Bass Control.
•Surround Sound Effect that includes:
– Incredible Stereo.
– Incredible Mono.
– 3D Sound (not for AV Stereo).
– TruSurround (not for AV Stereo).
– Virtual Dolby Surround, VDS422 (not for AV Stereo).
– Virtual Dolby Surround, VDS423 (not for AV Stereo).
– Dolby Pro-Logic (not for AV Stereo).
•Bass Feature that includes:
– Dynamic Ultra-Bass.
– Dynamic Bass Enhancement.
– BBE (not for AV Stereo).
•Auto-Volume Leveler.
•5 Band Equalizer.
•Loudness Control.
All the features stated are available for the Full Stereo versions
and limited features for the AV Stereo
9.9.3 Audio Amplifier
The audio amplifier part is very straightforward. It uses the
integrated power amplifier TDA7297D, and delivers a
maximum output of 2 x 15 W_rms.
The maximum operating condition for this amplifier is 20 V
unloaded. Normal operating supply is from 6.5 V to 18 V.
Muting is done via the SOUND_ENABLE line connected to pin
13 of the amplifier-IC and coming from the Hercules.
9.9.4 Audio: Lip Sync
9.9.1 Diversity
The diversity for the Audio decoding can be broken up into two
main concepts:
•The Quasi Split Sound concept used in Europe and some
AP sets.
•The Inter Carrier concept, used in NAFTA and LATAM.
The UOC-III family makes no difference anymore between
QSS- and Intercarrier IF, nearly all types are softwareswitchable between the two SAW-filter constructions.
Simple data settings are required for the set to determine
whether it is using the Inter Carrier or the QSS concept. These
settings are done via the “QSS” and “FMI” bit found in SAM
mode. Due to the diversity involved, the data for the 2 bits are
being placed in the NVM location and it is required to write once
during startup.
On top of that, it can be further broken down into various
systems depending on the region. The systems or region
chosen, will in turn affect the type of sound standard that is/are
allowed to be decoded.
•For the case of Europe, the standard consists of BG/DK/I/
LL’ for a Multi-System set. There are also versions of
Eastern Europe and Western Europe set and the standard
for decoding will be BG/DK and I/DK respectively. FM
Radio is a feature diversity for the Europe sets. The same
version can have either FM Radio or not, independent of
the system (e.g. sets with BG/DK/I/LL’ can have or not
have FM radio).
The LC4.2E is not equipped with Lip Sync. This is not needed.
9.10 Control
9.10.1 Hercules
The System Board has two main micro-controllers on board.
These are:
•On-chip x86 micro-controller (OCM) from Genesis LCD TV/
Monitor Controller.
•On-chip 80C51 micro-controller from Philips
Semiconductor UOCIII (Hercules) series.
Each micro-controller has it own I2C bus which host its own
internal devices.
The Hercules is integrated with the Video and Audio Processor.
For dynamic data storage, such as SMART PICTURE and
SMART SOUND settings, an external NVM IC is being used.
Another feature includes an optional Teletext/Closed Caption
decoder with the possibility of different page storage depending
on the Hercules type number.
The Micro Controller ranges in ROM from 128 kB with no TXTdecoder to 128 kB with a 10 page Teletext or with Closed
Caption.

•LED. This signal is used as an indication for the Standby,
Remote and Error Indicator. Region diversity:
– During protection mode, the LED blinks and the set is
in standby mode.
– During error conditions it blinks at a predefined rate.
– After receiving a valid RC-5 or local keyboard
command it flashes once.
– For sets with error message indication, the LED blinks
when message is active and the set is in standby
mode.
•SCL. This is the clock wire of the two-wire single master bi-
directional I2C bus.
•SDA. This is the data wire of the two-wire single master bi-
directional I2C bus.
•STANDBY. The Hercules generates this signal. This can
enable the power supply in normal operation and disable it
during Standby. It is of logic “high” (3.3 V) under normal
operation and “low” (0 V) during Standby.
•IR. This input pin is connected to an RC5 remote control
receiver.
•SEL-IF. This is an output pin to switch the Video SAW filter
between M system and other systems.
– 0: NTSC M (default)
– 1: PAL B/G, DK, I, L
•NVM_WP. The global protection line is used to enable and
disable write protection to the NVM. When write to the
NVM is required, pin 7 of the NVM must be pulled to logic
‘0’ first (via Write_Protect of the micro-controller pin) before
a write is performed. Otherwise pin 7 of NVM must always
be at logic “1”
– 0: Disabled
– 1: Enabled (default)
•SOUND_ENABLE. This pin is use to MUTE the audio
amplifier. It is configured as push pull.
•STATUS_1. This signal is used to read the status of the
SCART 1 input.
•STATUS_2. This signal is used to read the status of the
SCART 2 input.
•HERC_RESET. This pin is use to switch the +1.8V supply.
•POWER_DOWN. The power supply generates this signal.
