APAP-8X CHASSIS POWER SUPPLY
Page 02-01
AP-8X CHASSIS POWER SUPPLY EXPLANATION

The power supply in the AP-8X chassis works very similar to the previous models, with some very significant exceptions.
This power supply runs at 50% when the AC is applied with the set OFF. The use of the power supply creating the A12V
supply eliminates the need for a Stand-By transformer. The following explanation will describe the Turning ON and OFF
of the projection television.
(Coming soon, Power Supply Operation in Stand-By mode explanation for more details).
Power Supply Frequency of

Operation During Run
When the Horizontal deflection is in operation, the power supply frequency fluctuates in accordance to screen brightness,
causing differing demands for High Voltage replacement. The normal operational range for the power supply is between
30 KHz to 50 KHz. The lower the frequency, the higher the current supplied to the load. During Stand-By, it operates at
20KHz.
Power Supply Shutdown

Explanation
This chassis utilizes I901 as the Osc.\Driver \Switch for the power supply, just as the previous chassis have done. This IC
is very similar to the previous versions, however it does differ in Frequency, (described previously) and in Stand-By detection. The Shutdown circuit, (cold ground side detection), is routed to I901 via a common circuit. This circuit is comprised
of Q914 (the Shutdown SCR), I902 (the Photo Coupler), which isolates the Hot ground from the Cold ground and couples
the Shutdown signal to the Hot Ground side, and I901 pin 7 (the 100% Dead time pin, See Figure 1.)
All of the Power Supply Shutdown circuitry can be broken down into the following groups;
Voltage Missing Detection
Excessive Current Detection
Voltage Too High Detection
In the following explanation, the Shutdown circuits will be grouped, this will assist the Service Technician with trouble
shooting the Chassis, by understanding these circuits and having the associated circuit routs, the technician can then
Divide and Conquer.

Commonly Used Shutdown Detection Circuits

Excessive Current Detection. (See Figure 2 on Next Page)
One very common circuit used in many Hitachi television products is the B+ Excessive Current Sensing circuit. In this
circuit is a low ohm resistor in series with the particular power supply, (labeled B+ in the drawing). The value of this resistor is determined by the maximum current allowable within a particular power supply. In the case of Figure 2, the value
is shown as a 0.47 ohm, however it could be any low ohm value. When the current demand increases, the voltage drop
across the resistor increases. If the voltage drop is sufficient to reduce the voltage on the base of the transistor, the transistor will conduct, producing a Shutdown signal that is directed to the appropriate circuit.

Voltage Loss or Excessive Load Detection (See Figure 3)

The second most common circuit used is the Voltage Loss Detection circuit. This is a very simple circuit that detects a loss
of a particular power supply and supplies a Pull-Down path for the base of a PNP transistor. (See Figure 3)
This circuit consist of a diode connected by its cathode to a positive B+ power supply. Under normal conditions, the diode
is reversed biases, which keeps the base of Q1 pulled up, forcing it OFF. However, if there is a short or excessive load on
the B+ line, the diode in effect will have a LOW on its cathode, turning it ON. This will allow a current path for the base
bias of Q1, which will turn it ON and generates a
Shutdown Signal.
B+ Voltage Too High Detection.

(See Figure 4)
In this circuit, a Zener diode is connected to a voltage divider or in
some cases, directly to a B+ power supply. If the B+ voltage increases, the voltage at the voltage divider or the cathode of the
zener diode will rise. If it gets to a predetermined level, the zener
will fire. This action creates a Shutdown Signal.

(See Figure 5)

+12V
-12V
The purpose of the Negative Voltage Loss detection circuit is to

compare the negative voltage with its counter part positive voltage.
If at any time, the negative voltage drops or disappears, the circuit
will produce a Shutdown signal.
In Figure 5, there are two resistors of equal value. One to the positive voltage, (shown here as +12V) and one to the negative voltage,
(shown here as -12V). At their tie point, (neutral point), the voltage
is effectually zero (0) volts. If however, the negative voltage is lost
due to an excessive load or defective negative voltage regulator, the
neutral point will go positive. This in turn will cause the zener diode to fire, creating a Shutdown Signal.

AP-83 Shutdown Circuit
In the figure below, (See Figure 6) is a block diagram indicating all of the Shutdown inputs that will stop the power supply. There are a total of 22 individual Shutdown inputs. In addition, there are also two Shutdown inputs that are specifically detected by the main power driver IC, I901 that protect it from excessive current or over voltage.

Page 02-05
Trouble Shooting the Power Supply Shutdown Circuit
The AP-83 utilizes some Visual Reference LEDs to determine the operational state of the Power Supply. The following
Voltages are monitored by a GREEN LED. (See Diagram on Page 02-09 for details).

There is also a RED LED (D912), that monitors the condition of I901, which is the Power Supply Driver IC.
The service technician can observe these LEDs and make a determination if the power supply is operational. As stated
previously, this power supply operates even if the set is OFF. This condition is call Stand-By.
While the Power Supply is in Stand-By, there are several things the Service Technician should observe, utilizing these
LEDs.
First When the Set is in Stand-By
All of the LEDs should by ON except the TV9V and the TV5V LEDs. These two voltages are OFF in Stand-By.
Second When the Set is turned ON
The RED L.E.D., (D912) should be ON anytime the set is plugged into AC voltage. Normal brightness is when the set is
operating normally. In the AP-83, this RED L.E.D. also has a condition where it Blinks. If there is a Shutdown condition
that arrives from any of the 22 Shutdown inputs described previously, the L.E.D. Blinks On/Off repeatedly. Anytime the
Power Supply is in Shutdown, none of the green L.E.Ds. should be ON.
If there is a condition that creates a load on a B+ line which is monitored by a Green LED, the Service Technician
should carefully observe all Green L.E.Ds. during turn ON. If it is detected that one of the Green L.E.Ds. attempt to come
ON or possibly never comes ON, then that particular B+ source should be investigated for a loaded condition. This may be
very difficult to determine because the set will Shutdown quickly, due to the Excessive Load or Short Detection circuitry.
When the RED L.E.D. is found to be Blinking, then the Service Technician must begin to isolate the Shutdown
inputs to determine from which detection circuit the Shutdown is being generated. Generally, the first step should be to
remove the Deflection B+ fuse (E994).
(Please note, during this process, the Deflection and High Voltage circuits will be defeated. The Heater circuit is monitored by the Shutdown circuit. If its lost, the set will shutdown. To allow the Power Supply to operate, it is necessary to
defeat this circuit when removing the Fuse E994. To defeat the Heater Loss Circuit, lift one end of D724).
This will deactivate the most common Shutdown inputs created from a defective Deflection circuit generally caused by a
shorted Horizontal Output Transistor. If at this time the Power Supply returns to operation, investigate the Horizontal Output Transistor and all circuits providing an input to the X-Ray Protect path.
The most common areas to investigate are
Shorted Vertical Output IC
Open R737 (Heater output from Flyback)
If by removing E994, the Power Supply doesnt return to normal operation, further isolation is necessary. One of the most
common circuits to investigate is
Shorted Rear Audio Output IC
If this circuit checks normal, begin by removing Q913.
WARNING When Q913 is removed, the Power Supply Short Detection circuits are defeated. Remove the CRT PWBs to
prevent Burning of the CRTs and use Quick cycling On/Off of the set. These cautions MUST BE OBSERVED.
Page 02-06
If at this time the Power Supply returns to normal operation, investigate;
Shorted Front/Center Audio Output IC
Short on the TV9V line
Short on the TV5V line
These suggestions are the most common areas to investigate for fault. Other circuit areas that may need investigation are;
shorted 5V line or the -M12V line is too high, (negatively).
These recommendations are the most common circuits areas to check. There are other circuits that can cause Shutdown,
please utilize the Power Supply Shutdown Circuit diagram for a complete list.
The Figure on page 7 represents all of the X-Ray Protect inputs feed back to the Shutdown SCR from the Deflection PWB
side.
AP-8X X-RAY PROTECT Circuit Diagram. (See the X-Ray Protect Circuit Diagram on page 02-08)
Any high generated from the Deflection Circuit Shutdown sensing circuit will be routed out the X-Ray Protect line to the
Power Supply and generate a Shutdown event.
Heater Loss Detection Circuitry

This circuit is a new addition for Hitachi product. Its responsibility is to monitor for a loss of the Heater voltage. Since the
Heater voltage is utilized for the Excessive High Voltage Detection circuit; it is necessary to monitor the source voltage
used by this circuit. If a circumstance arose, in which the Heater voltage disappeared, such as the opening of R737, then
there would be NO Excessive High Voltage Detection. To prevent the operation of the set without High Voltage Detection,
the Circuit comprised of Q710, D723, D721, and D721 constantly monitors the Heater Voltage. If for some reason the
Heater voltage disappeared, the two zeners would no longer supply pull-up voltage to the base of Q710. This would cause
the base voltage to decrease on the base of Q710 and a high would be impressed on the anode of D725. This would cause
the set to Shutdown.
Vertical Output IC Excessive Current Detection.

Q609 monitors the V26V power supply to I601 (Vertical Output IC). If this IC draws too much current, the base voltage
of Q609 will drop turning it on. Its Collector will go high. This high is routed through D615 to the X-Ray protect line
shutting down the Power Supply.
Vertical Charge Pump Capacitor Leakage Detection.

D606 monitors the Charge Pump Capacitor C614. If this capacitor leaks, the voltage will rise on D606 anode generating a
shutdown event.
Excessive High Voltage Detection.

D709 monitors the Heater Voltage. This voltage will reflect the status of the High voltage, but its a much lower voltage
and easier to handle. If this voltage goes too high indicating that High Voltage is too high, the diode will fire. The heater
voltage is generated by the pulse output from the Flyback T702 being rectified by D712 and filtered by C731.
12V Line Too High Detection.

D607 monitors the 12V line. If this voltage goes too high, the zener will fire generating a shutdown event through D606.

POWER SUPPLY ON AND OFF (STAND-BY) OPERATION EXPLANATION

The power supply in the AP-8X chassis works very similar to the previous models, with only
a few exceptions. This power supply runs all the time when the AC is applied. The use of the
power supply creating the A12V supply eliminates the need for a Stand-By transformer. The
following explanation will describe the Turning ON and OFF of the projection television.
(See the Power Supply On and Off Circuit Diagram on page 02-13)
The Microprocessor generates the ON-OFF control signal as before, with the exception that
there is no Relay Driver. The schematic shows a relay driver Q003, however it is in parentheses. This means that the component doesnt exist in the set.
This On/Off control will perform the following :
Turns on the regulation control signal
Turns on the A5V and A9V regulator
Turns on the Shut Down Power Shorted detection circuit
Turns on the Horizontal Vcc supply to the Rainforest IC, I501
The Microprocessor outputs the On/Off control from Pin 35, to the PSD3 connector Pin 4.
(See Figure 1) The active state is On = High and Off = Low. The high for Power On is then
routed to Q908 and Q907. Q908 is turned On, removing the base bias for Q907. Q907 turns
off and removes D948 from the circuit of Pin 2 of I905 which is the regulation error voltage
feedback line for the regulator IC, I901.

Q907 D948
Fig. 1
The purpose of D948 during Stand-By, is to create a false feedback that artificially compensates for the reduction in output voltage when the power supply switches to a lower frequency.
However, due to another factor, this doesnt cause the power supply frequency to rise to maximum which will be described next.
HORIZONTAL B+ DEFEAT CIRCUIT: (See Figure 2)
When the power supply goes into Stand-By mode, the Horizontal Drive signal for deflection is
shut off. This is accomplished by Q916 and Q917. The Low out produced from the Power On/
Off pin 35 of the Microprocessor is detected by the base of Q916. This allows the collector
voltage to go high. This action turns off Q917 which removes the B+ from its collector. The
Collector of Q917 is connected to the Deflection B+ pin 22 of the Rainforest IC, I501 via pin
3 of the PSD2 connector and Pin 13 of the PSI1 connector. This action stop I501 from producing a horizontal deflection drive signal.

POWER SUPPLY OPERATIONAL FREQUENCY DURING STAND-BY:

(See Figure 3)
When the Horizontal deflection is defeated, the power supply no longer has a deflection load.
This low current demand is detected by the three resistors connected to the source of the internal Switch MOS FET inside I901 via pin 2. Pin 4 of I901 is the over current detection pin,
however it is also the current demand sensing pin. When the current demand is low due to
horizontal defeat, pin 4 will be less that 1.4V and the internal frequency will switch to 20Khz.
This is caused by the Quasi Resonant circuit operation which is covered in a Hi-Lite article.
This reduction of power supply frequency will move the frequency below the Bell of the
power supply transformer and all secondary voltages will reduce to approximately 1/2 of their
normal voltage.
Due to the fact that the power supply is still operating at 1/2 voltage output, the Green LEDs
used for visual trouble sensing will reduce in intensity, however they will remain lit. With the
exception of the TV9V and TV5V regulator.

TV9V AND TV5V REGULATOR OPERATION IN STAND-BY: (See Figure 4)
Both of these ICs as well as the A12V regulator are DC to DC converters just like last year.
This is because of the wide range of input voltages from Stand-By to Normal operation of
the Power Supply.
The TV9V regulator (I912) and the TV5V regulator (I913) are shut off during Stand-By
mode. This is accomplished by Q906 and Q905. When the low for the power On/Off pin 35
of the Microprocessor is detected by Q906, its collector will go high. This action will turn
ON Q905 and its collector will go low. This will pull pin 5 of I912 and I913 low, turning off
the two DC to DC converters.

SOME SHUT-DOWN DETECTION CIRCUITS SHUT OFF DURING STAND-BY:

(See Figure 5)
During Stand-By, all of the secondary voltages are reduced to approximately 50% of their
normal voltage. This could cause a potential problem with the Short Detection circuits for
shutdown. To avoid accidental shut down, Q906 also controls the activity of Q905. During
Stand-By, Q906 is turned off. This allows the Base of Q905 to be pulled up which turns on
Q905 and its collector voltage is low. Q918 is also turned off because its base voltage is
pulled low through D975. This prevents any pull-up voltage from appearing on the emitter of
Q913. The base of Q913 is connected to 6 Low Detection inputs, (see AP-8X Power Supply
Shut Down Circuit). When the power supply operates at 50%, the Short Detection circuit
could activate. By turning off Q913, no accidental shut down operation can occur. For added
protection, Q912 also prevents any Shut-Down voltage from reaching the Gate of Q914,
which is the Shut-Down SCR latch.

APAP-8X CHASSIS VIDEO CIRCUITS
S-JACK AND COMPONENT INPUT EXPLANATION

AP-8X COMPONENT IDIOSYNCRASIES:
See AP-8X AUTO LINK DETECTION CIRCUIT
When the S-Jack is inserted, it always takes priority.
Incorporated into each S-Jack, is a mechanical switch. This switch is utilized by the Selector
IC, IY01 and notifies the IC whene ver an S-Jack is inserted. (Note that the S-In selection is not
dependent upon having active Y/C available). The switch grounds the S input detection pins as
follows;
Pin 12 for S-1
Pin 18 for S-2
Pin 6 for S-3
When any one of these pins are grounded and that particular Input is selected via the INPUT
button on the front control panel or the remote control, internally the IC will switch over to
only look at S-In for that input.
Example: Normally when AVX. 1 is selected, the selector IC will accept input from pin 7 which
is the Video 1 input pin. If however, Pin 12 is low, then the IC will only accept input from pin 9
and 11.
This information is important related to the Component inputs. Included in the Component Y
input jack is another mechanical switch. When there is NO Component input jack connected,
this switch is normally closed. This routes the S-In Y component to pin 15 of IY01.
When a Component jack is inserted, the mechanical switch within the Component jack opens
and disengages the S-In Y path, preventing noise.
The component Y is routed to three places;
1) To Pin 16 of I503. (Component Selector IC)
2) To transistor QA80, which energizes the electronic switch Q009. This loops key out to key
in, notifying the Microprocessor that there is a component input.
3) To Pin 15 of IY01, (Selector IC). This route is not used.
When the Microprocessor detects component in at pin 33 and it doesnt detect S-In at Pin 21,
the Microprocessor output a Component selection command from Pin 48, through the PSI2
connector, arriving at Pins 2, 7 and 12 of I503

AP-8X CHASSIS ABL CIRCUIT EXPLANATION
SEE AP-8X Chassis ABL CIRCUIT

DIAGRAM FOR DETAILS: Page 04-02
he ABL voltage is generated from the

ABL pin of the Flybact transformer, T702. The ABL pull- up resistors are R-718 &
R-719. They receive their pull up voltage
from the 120V B+ for Deflection line generated from the Power Supply via T901 pin 15,
rectified by D929, filtered by C929 and then
routed through the excessive current sensing
resistor R931.
ABL VOLTAGE OPERATION:
he ABL voltage is determined by the

current draw through the Flyback transformer. As the picture brightness becomes
brighter or increases, the demand for replacement of the High Voltage being consumed is
greater. In the case, the flyback will work
harder and the current through the Flyback increases. This in turn will decrease the ABL
voltage. The ABL voltage is inverse proportionate to screen brightness.
Also connected to the ABL voltage line is
D710. This zener diode acts as a clamp for the
ABL voltage. If the ABL voltage tries to increase above 12V due to a dark scene which
decreases the current demand on the flyback,
the ABL voltage will rise to the point that
D710 dumps the excess voltage into the 12
line.
ACCL TRANSISTOR OPERATION:
he ABL voltage is routed through the

PSD2 connector to the base of Q-500.
Under normal conditions, this transistor is
nearly saturated. Q500 determines the voltage
being supplied to the cathode of D502. D502
is connected to pin 45 of the Rainforest chip,
IC-501.
During an ABL voltage decrease, due to
an excessive bright circumstance, the base of
Q-500 will go down, this will drop the emitter

voltage which in turn drops the cathode voltage of D502. This in turn will pull voltage
away from pin 45 of the Rainforest chip, IC501. Internally, this reduces the contrast and
brightness voltage which is being controlled
by the I2C buss data communication from the
Microprocessor arriving at pin 27 and 28 of
the Rainforest IC and reduces the overall
brightness, preventing blooming.
SUB BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT:
I2C Alignment
he purpose for the Sub Brightness Adjustment alignment is to set up the Lo west DC level to which the Brightness control
voltage can be set. Again, this voltage is controlled internally within I501 via I2C buss
data. The adjustment is performed within the
Service Menu, which is called Memory Initialization. To enter this adjustment menu,
with the set turned off, press and hold the Input button, then press the Power button. This
will bring up a Service Menu. Under the P.01
menu, the 9th selection is Sub Bright Adj.
Selection is made using the buttons and
adjusting the data values are made using the
?? buttons.
When this adjustment is not performed accurately, several problems can occur:
Not enough brightness can be
achieved
Brightness cant be turned down completely
When Brightness is turned to maximum, the picture can wash out the
white peaks.
PAGE 04-02A
AP-8X CHASSIS ABL CIRCUIT EXPLANATION
SUB-BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT:
or adjustment, the CRT cut off adjustment should have already been completed, turn the customers controls for Brightness and Contrast to Minimum while receiving a Tuner signal.
Adjust the Sub Brightness data value until
only the faintest highlights can be observed
on the screen.
High Voltage Regulation/Stability
(See Figure 1)
igh Voltage Regulation is accomplished by Q702, Q703, and T703.

T703 functions as an extension of the flyback
transformer primary with the ability to vary
its secondary resonance from 7 times the
horizontal frequency, to no resonance at all.
This is determined by the primary current of
T703. The secondary resonance is inversely
proportional to the primary current, i.e., if the
primary current is high, the secondary resonance is low, and vice-versa.
The ABL voltage supplies Q702 base
voltage. Since ABL voltage is no higher than
12V with a dark picture, this is considered
high, turning on Q702. This increases the
voltage at its emitter, which is routed to the
base of Q703 and holds Q703 off. In this
condition, the EC current is low which is
routed through the primary of T703 and the
resonance of T703 is 7 times that of the horizontal frequency, placing a small dip in the
collector waveform of the Horizontal Output
Pulse. This is because the High Voltage replacement demand is low during this time.
The emitter of Q703 is connected to 12V
through the emitter load resistor, (R713).
When there is a bright scene, there is also a
corresponding reduction in the ABL voltage.
Q702 conduction begins to decrease and the
emitter potential drops, pulling the base of
Q703 down and allowing its EC current to increase. This action supplies additional current
to the primary of T703, decreasing its secondary resonance. At this point the waveform at
the collector of the horizontal output transistor
will proportionately peak, generating an increase in the replacement high voltage. This
function is performed to replenish the additional high voltage being consumed by the
picture tube, thus avoiding blooming.
(NOTE: This does not mean that the high voltage will rise. The high voltage is maintained
at 30KV throughout the actions caused by the
increase or decrease High Voltage replacement demands.)
The figure below indicates the results of
activity of the High Voltage Regulation/
Stability circuit on the collector of the horizontal output transistor.

PROPRIETARY TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION

MODELS: 55UX58B
SUBJECT:
Critical information within the Service Manual addendum for the

55UX58B, (PA NO. 0107) was omitted.
This year the AP-62P chassis for the 50FX48B actually uses analog convergence. The Digital
Convergence Units were removed from these chassis. To reduce waste, these DCAM's were used in
the AP-83 chassis for the 55UX58B only. This required some minor deflection modifications but most
obvious is that for these models, the DCAM is attached to the cabinet (similar to the older AP-5X/6X).
They are NOT mounted directly to the Power/Defl. PWB. Once the AP-62 DCAM's were liquidated,
production switched back to the standard AP-83 chassis for the 55UX58BA. (Note that the BA denotes
actual AP83 chassis, NOT modified and the B only indicates a modified chassis).
Below list typical FAQs related to the subject.
QUESTION:
When the Service Only button is pressed and held on the deflection PWB and then the Power Button
to enter the Digital Convergence Adjustment Mode, (DCAM here after) with Cleared RAM, the set
comes on in the normal picture mode, in this case tuner. The Dig. Conv. Module RAM was cleared
like normal. To get the DCAM grid, the Service Only Button had to be pressed again.
Is this normal?
ANSWER:
For DCAM adjustment on the AP-62P, reference the AP-62 Service Manual, (PA NO. 0070). Of
course sometimes when DCAM data is cleared, the crosshatch does not appear and you must press the
DCAM button 1 more time. This can happen no matter what DCAM is used. A note to this effect can
be seen in section 2.7, page 20 of the AP-62 service manual PA NO. 0070.
QUESTION:
When pressing the EXIT button 5 times, the set would not toggle between the external video and
DCAM. The service literature indicates that it will.
Is this normal?
ANSWER:
Because this is a DCU from an AP-62 chassis, The ENTER button must be pressed 5 times to
switch between Video and DCAM.
QUESTION:
The Service Literature also indicates that pressing the INFO button will perform the Interpolation
process. However, pressing the INFO button did nothing.
Is this normal?
ANSWER:
Again, because this is a DCU from an AP-62 chassis, you must use the AI button for interpolation.
(See CLU-951MP remote).
Also see the CLU-951MP remote for the following adjustments of the DCU in the AP-83P chassis,
SRD to perform Phase adjustment.
