The LC7.x is a new mainstream tv-chassis introduced in the year 2007 (LC7.1 is the
analogue range, LC7.2 is the digital range). It is the successor of the LC4.x chassis, and
covers a screen size of 26 to 52 inch for LCD and 42 to 50 inch for Plasma sets with a
new styling called “ME7”.
Some key components are:
• Audio: Sound processing is via multi-standard sound processor MSP4450 (7411)
• Video: Video processing is with the Trident video processor SVP CV32-LF (7202).
For analogue reception, a standard IF demodulator is used, whereas digital input signals
(DVB-T) are processed through a COFDM channel decoder together with an MPEG
decoder (integrated on the SSB).
A so-called “Renesas” microprocessor performs the control functionality.
Important features of this chassis are:
• AmbiLight: LED AmbiLight (optional)
• 1080p Full HD (where applicable).
The user interface for LC7 (analogue mode):
The menu looks similar as used in chassis L06 (CRT-set), but 100Hz features are not
present here. LC7 has 1000 pages txt, so there is big memory.
For picture format switching there is no black bar detection, auto format is via signalling
bits or via status on pin 8 of scart.
Via A/D button on the remote you can switch to digital mode.
The digital menu is the same as used in LC4 or FTx2:
Page 78
So there are 2 menu buttons on the RC (analogue menu or digital menu).
There is no longer SPDIF output.
At the rear side of a digital set there is a sticker for DVB-T or non-DVB-T countries.
This is indication of validation in those countries. If non-DVB-T country is selected the
digital reception is disabled (introduced with software R0C44).
If non dvb-t country is selected then it is still possible to switch to digital mode, but no
digital channels are stored.
At the bottom side of the set there is sticker with typenumber, serialnumber.
Also the display code is mentioned here. If there is no picture, then a quick check could
be to reprogram display code (via 062598 menu xxx).
But attention, in CSM typenumber and serialnumber are reset.
Page 79
LC7 is used as main stream product, for lower end CFD (Commodity Flat Display) is
used. At this moment different chassis are used:
LC4.1E AC update of LC4.1E AB
LC7.2E LB small change compared with LC7.2 LA
TPS1.0E LCD-set with chassis from TPV
In LC7 there are 2 scart connectors, EXT1 is full scart (with RGB) and EXT2 is meant
for DVDR (YC is on EXT2).
2 HDMI connectors are used and LC7 has also component input (1fH/2fH supported).
At the side is input for CVBS, YC and audio i.e. from camera.
There is also the headphone connector. LC7 has only 1 volume control, there is no
separate control for headphone.
For Europe there is no VGA
connection, but computer can be
connected via DVI-HDMI cable.
Audio from PC should be connected to
front.
Page 80
Mechanical setup of the set.
In LC7 there are only few boards. On the SSB is the DVB-T (IBO) module integrated.
Compared with LC4 there is only 1 tuner, this is so-called hybrid tuner. It is used for
analogue and digital reception.
The audio amplifier (class D) is on the SSB.
The SSB has to be repaired on component level (complete board cannot be ordered).
In sets with full HD display, the 1080P panel is added.
LVDS signal from SSB (single LVDS) is fed to the 1080P board, output is dual LVDS to
the LCD-panel.
The 1080P board is supplied with 12V and IIC is via the LVDS connector.
Page 81
In this picture the components are indicated. Basic concept of chassis LC7 is built with
Renesas (main uP) and Trident (video processor). There are 2 HDMI connectors, via
HDMI chip selection is made. (in this chip the HDCP-keys are integrated)
On the left side is the DVB-T part, it is the same hardware as used in LC4.
The audio amplifier is without cooling plate, because of class D (high efficiency).
Page 82
I2C UART
This is the rear side of the SSB.
Here is the audio processor, the IC is from micronas.
Above it is the flash mem indicated, here is the main software of the set.
2x SDRAM is used for the Trident video processor, this is used to store the video signal
so the Trident can do calculations on the video signal i.e. scaling, widescreen switching
or picture improvements like pixel plus.
The memory is also used for storing 1000 txt pages.
Channel decoder does the tuning in DVB-T mode.
I2C connector is used for Compair, i.e. for software upgrading.
The UART connector is used for the DVB-T part of LC7.

The power supply is handled as black box.
This means that the service policy for all power supplies in LC7 is board swap.

For LCD use is made of 2 suppliers: Delta and Philips Power Solutions. With Plasma sets
power supply is dependent on the used pdp.
Measure the voltages at the connectors of the power supply, to have a quick indication
whether the supply is ok. The power supply can also operate without load.
One remark for digital set:
If set is switched into standby, then there is semi standby.
This is not indicated by the LED’s, but after about 10 minutes the set will switch to
standby (low power consumption). In semi standby the power consumption is +/- 20W.
Semi standby is used in LCD, but also with PDP.
This semi standby mode is used to scan for new channels and to check whether new
software is available.
Page 84
On the SSB is part of the power supply. From the 5V_SW several voltages are derived.
In this part there is one serial switch mode (L5973D) and the rest are voltage stabilisers
(except for Vtun).
The DC-DC converter is a serials switch mode supply. It works at switching frequency
of 250kHz.
5V2_SW can be from power supply, in case of PDP-set. In case of LCD-sets then the
switching is on the SSB.
In standby mode the 3V3_STBY remains present, therefore only the Renesas is active
during standby.

In chassis LC7 there is a hybrid tuner (1101), it is used for analogue and digital tuning.
Via IC7111 the I2C bus is switched, IIC analogue is from the Renesas and IIC is from the
channel decoder.
For analogue reception RF AGC is used, but for digital this is inside the tuner and then
IF AGC is used. (analogue tuner or hybrid tuner are not interchangeable)
The DVB-T hardware is based on the IBO module which is also used in LC4 chassis.
The main control of DVB-T is the MOJO chip. The Renesas communicates with the
MOJO via the IIC bus and the MOJO controls via local IIC the DVB-T part.
The DVB-T cell on the SSB is built around the “MOJO” MPEG decoder PNX8314HS
(item 7G00) and receives the signal from the COFDM Channel Decoder TDA10046
(item 7F01). The (hybrid) tuner TD1316AF (item 1101) supports digital (DVB-T)
reception and transports the signal via the VIM_IBO and VIP_IBO lines. The digital data
stream exits the DVB-T cell when it is fed to the Trident SVP CX32 Video Processor
(item 7202). A Common Interface (CI) slot allows reception of encoded signals when
Page 86
used with a Conditional Access Module (CAM) in combination with a smart card.
Common Interface (CI)
Introduction
The digital sets of this chassis are provided with a special slot called Common Interface
(CI). Together with a Conditional Access Module (CAM) and a smart card, it is possible
to receive scrambled TV programs.
The removable smart card, distributed by the provider, allows you to tune digital
scrambled channels.
Implementation
1. The receiver receives the digital data stream.
2. The data flows into the Conditional Access Module, which contains the content
provider's unscrambling algorithms.
Page 87
3. This module verifies the existence of a smart card that contains the subscriber's
authorization code.
4. If the authorization code is accepted, the CAM unscrambles the data and returns the
data to the MOJO.
(if the code is not accepted, the data remains scrambled, restricting access).
5. The MOJO then decodes the data and outputs it for viewing.
The internal voltages that are used are:
• 5 V (+5V_SW)
• 3.3 V (+3V3_MOJO)
• 1.2 V (+1V2_MOJO)
• 1.8 V (+1V8S_SW).
During start-up, it is important that the +1V8S_SW line comes up earlier than the
+3V3_MOJO line. In order to implement this, a delay circuit is added. TS7J05 switches
the MOSFET 7J04 “on” and “off”.
The diode (item 6J03) performs a short-circuit protection for the +3V3 output stage.
Page 88
Video processing
The video processing is completely handled by the Trident SVP
CX32 video processor features:
• CVBS-input for analogue signals.
• RGB-input for digital (DVB-T) signals.
• Motion and “edge-adaptive” de-interlacing.
• Integrated ADC.
• Built-in 8-bit LVDS transmitter.
• Colour stretch.
• Skin colour enhancement.
• 3D Digital Comb Video Decoder.
• Interlaced and Progressive Scan refresh.
• TeleText decoding.
• OSD and VBI/Closed Caption.
For analogue reception, a CVBS signal coming from the analogue front-end is fed to the
video processor via pin CVBS1. In the video processor is the multi standard video
processor (PAL/SECAM/NTSC).
During digital reception, the video signal coming from the MPEG decoder (MOJO) is fed
to the video processor via pins FS1, PC_RGB.
The video processor has also direct input for the SCART1 & 2 input, side AV, EXT4
(HD where applicable) and HDMI1 & 2 input.
Page 89
There are 2 CVBS outputs. SCART1 there is always the tuner signal (also for DVB-T
mode) and SCART2 is meant for recording (WYSIWYG). The source that is displayed,
is also available via SCART2 output.
Other output is LVDS for LCD or plasma display.
The Trident is supplied with the 3V3_SW and 1V8_SW (in standby the Trident is off). It
has its own oscillator of 14MHz connected to pins 204-205.
The reset for the Trident is on pin 86. This is from the uP.
Communication between Trident and Renesas is via I2C bus and via parallel bus because
that is faster. There are series resistors on this bus and there it is possible to check for
activity on the bus.
uP
address data
Trident
The resistors are 3201, 3202, 3203 and 3204.
Two memories are connected to the video processor to store video content and for
storage of txt-pages.
Output from the Trident is LVDS, via filters to the screen. Depending on the used
display there can be different resolution.
i.e 1024x768 (PDP-panel) or 1366x768 (LCD-panel).
If 1080P display is used, then mostly the output from Trident is 1366x768. Except if the
input signal is 1080i, this is forwarded by the Trident. The 1080P panel takes care of the
de-interlacing.
Page 90
In this circuitry the 12V display is switched, this
voltage is used on the LVDS connector for the
logic board of the LCD or plasma panel.
LCD_PWR_ON is from the uP to switch on the
12V. There is a small delay in the switching of this
voltage and that generates a reset on the logic
board.
If F the FET 7210 has a leakage or short circuit
then the 12V is still present, but in some cases the
reset is not generated. This causes no picture on
the display.
LED 6201 is optional, not used in LC7.
There are 4 control lines for display, these are used for PDP-sets.
Depending on used brand (LGE, SDI or FHP),
different lines are used.
i.e. for SDI only CTRL-DISP1_up is used, at
pdp-side this line is named CTRL_DISP1. This
line is used to reset the logic board of the PDP.
Page 91
Audio processing
The audio processor used in LC7 is the MSP4450. All inputs are fed directly to the
MSP4450. Source select, FM demodulation, sound control is all in IC7411. The MSP4450
is supplied with 8V on pin 39. This 8V is derived from the +12V display. The MSP is also
supplied with 5V on pins 12,13 (digital) and 61,62 (analogue).
The IC makes use of its own crystal of 18MHz and needs a reset on pin 19 (low is reset),
this is controlled from the Renesas uP.
There are 2 outputs for SCART and on pins 26,27 is L/R for the amplifier.
At pins 23,24 is also variable level sound for headphone. If customer uses volume
control then both outputs are controlled together (there is no separate control for
headphone).
IC7A01 is the class D amplifier TDA8932T. It combines a good performance with a high
efficiency. Therefore no cooling plate required for this IC.
With pin 6 the amplifier is switched on, that is controlled by the uP. Pin 5 is used to
mute the amplifier via mute control circuitry.
In case of too high DC voltage for the loudspeakers, the protection is activated. The set
will switch off and via the led error 1 is indicated.

CIM Card present, indicates whether the CAM is detected. In case an encrypted channel
is not decoded, this can be used to check that the CAM is detected.
Service default mode
Via 062596 menu default mode is entered or short one of the “Service” jumpers on the
TV board during cold start. Then press the mains button.
Caution: Activating SDM by shorting “Service” jumpers will override the DC speaker
protection (error 1), the General I2C error (error 4), and the Trident video processor
error (error 5).
When doing this, the service-technician must know exactly what he is doing, as it could
damage the television set.
