PTV900 LIGHT PATH

The PTV900 Series Projection TV uses three single color tubes, Red, Green, and Blue. (Figure 1) The output of each tube is projected onto a mirror where it is then reflected onto a viewing screen. The Tubes are converged so the light from each tube strikes the same spot on the Fresnel Lens. The Fresnel Lens equalizes and Concentrates the light to provide equal light uniformity across the screen. The Mirror is a first surface mirror type which has the reflective coating on the outside of the mirror. To prevent scratching of this surface, always use a soft cotton cloth to clean it.

Figure 1 The Lenticular Lens Screen concentrates the light from the Fresnel Lens into narrow strips. (Figure 2) The Lenticular Lens increases contrast by reducing the ambient light with the use of Black Striping. The Prismatic formation of the screen allows for nearly 3X light output as compared to a flat screen. Caution should be used when working with the screen. Damage can easily occur in the form of scratching, or by using certain chemical screen cleaners which can strip the black striping from the screen. To clean the screen, use one drop of dish washing detergent in a small bowl of water. (approximately 2 liters) Wipe the screen with a soft cotton cloth in the direction of the stripes.

Figure 2 - LENTICULAR SCREEN

The Three CRTs are driven by 30KV of high voltage and 15KV of focus voltage. (Figure 3) The Tubes produce a highly concentrated light output of a single color. A liquid coolant, made of Glycol, is used to transfer heat from the face of the tube to the surrounding mechanical assembly. The C-element lens seals the Coupling fluid within the coupler. The C-element lens and Coupling fluid are part of the light path and contribute to the properties of the optical system. Page 2

POWER SUPPLY BLOCK (Figure 4) The Line Conditioner circuits produce the Raw B+ for the Standby and Full Power sections. It also provides connection to the AC Neutral for the Full Power sections Startup voltage. AC power is fed to the PFC/ Line Conditioner. The output of this panel is fed to the Standby and Full Power sections, which are located on the Large Signal panel. The Standby Power Section begins operating as soon as power is applied to the set. This circuit produces a +5 volt and a +3.3 volt standby voltage. The +5 volt standby voltage supplies power to the Full Power Supply Relay while the +3.3 volt standby voltage is applied to the Microprocessor (Painter) located on the Small Signal Board.

When the Microprocessor pulls the Standby line Low, the Startup Run Switch is turned On, switching the Neutral side of the AC Line to the Full Power Supply. This provides the Startup voltage for the Full Power Supply. Once the Full Power Supply is operating, a 14 volt supply is generated to provide operating voltage to the primary side of the Full Power Supply. The Full Power Supply provides a 130 volt supply for the Scan circuits, a plus and minus 32 volt supplies for the Convergence circuits, a +15 volt supply for the Scan supply, a +15VSSB supply for the Signal circuits, and a AMP_VCC supply of 36 volts for the Audio Amplifier circuits. The Standby, Full power startup, and Full power circuits are located on the Large Signal Board.

FIGURE 4 - POWER SUPPLY BLOCK Page 4

To Large Signal Panel

LINE CONDITIONER PANEL (Figure 5) AC line voltage is connected to 1108, Pins 1 and 4. The ac is fused by 1000 and then fed to three line chokes, 5000, 5001, and 5005. The AC Mains voltage is applied to bridge 6000 and filtered by 2110 to produce the Main B+ voltage. The AC is also connected to bridge 6001 to produce RAWSTBY voltage for the Standby Section of the power supply. This circuit is fused by 1004. Startup voltage for the Full Power Section is taken from the Neutral side of the AC and fed to the Full Power Section on the Large Signal Panel through resistor 3300. All of these voltages are present when AC voltage is applied to the set. Approximately 160 volts dc should be present between Pins 3 and 5 of connector 1100. The same voltage should be present between Pins 6 and 8 of 1100 for the Standby section. In the connection between the Line Conditioner panel and the Large Signal Board, there are two HOT grounds, GND_HA and GND_C. The two ground are connected together by the Choke 5106. An open 5106 would cause the Full Power supply not to operate. When troubleshooting, one could be mislead by having the voltmeter on the wrong ground.

FIGURE 6 - STANDBY POWER SUPPLY

STANDBY POWER SUPPLY (Figure 6) The Standby Power Supply provides 3.3 and 5 volt standby voltages to the set. When AC voltage is applied to the set, RAWSTBY is developed and applied to the Standby regulator 7211 through Pins 2 and 4 of the Standby transformer 5202 to Pin 5. The Startup voltage is developed by charging capacitor 2283 through the internal startup resistor Rs. When 2283 is charged to 5.7 volts, the IC switches to the internal supply. Power is now supplied by the charge on Capacitor 2283. The Pulse Width Modulator will drive the internal switch to drive the Standby transformer 5202. The IC will continue to drive the transformer until the charge on 2283 falls below 4.7 volts. Capacitor 2283 will again be charged by the internal resistor and process will repeat itself. Voltage is developed from the HOT secondary winding on Pin 5. This voltage is rectified by 6207 to produce operating voltage for the HOT secondary. Voltage from Pin 9 is rectified by 6231 to produce Page 6

the 3.3 volt Standby voltage. Voltage from Pin 10 is rectified to produce the +5VSTBY voltage. When the 3.3 volt Standby voltage has reached the correct level, it will turn the Shunt Regulator 6205 On. This drives the Opto-isolator 7213, which switches the HOT secondary operating voltage to Pin 4 of 7211 through resistor 3287. Pin 4 of 7211 will stay at a constant 5.7 volts to provide the operating voltage for the IC. The Zener inside 7211 keeps Pin 4 at 5.7 volts. Regulation is accomplished by the Shunt Regulator 6205, Opto-isolator 7213, and the internal current sensing resistor of 7211. This circuit also produces a Reset voltage via 7209 and 7208. Troubleshooting If the 3.3 volts Standby voltage is not present, check Pin 5 of 7211. If this voltage is not changing when observed with an oscilloscope, check Capacitor 2283. If the voltage is changing, check the Feedback components, 6205 and 7213.

FIGURE 7 - FULL POWER SUPPLY

Page 7

FULL POWER SUPPLY (Figure 7) When the set is turned On, the Main Switch Mode power supply is turned On. This supply produces the +130 volt, +32 volt, -32 volt, two +15 volt, and Audio supplies. Startup When the On/Off line goes Low, transistor 7309 is turned Off, turning transistor 7300 On. This switches relay 1305 On. Startup voltage from the neutral side of the AC mains will charge capacitor 2303 to 14.5 volts, which will overcome the undervoltage lockout of IC 7302. After the Soft Start capacitor 2443 charges, the oscillator inside the IC will turn On. Each cycle of the oscillator will set the flip-flop which will cause Pin 3 to go High. This will turn the FET switch 7301 On. Raw Main voltage is applied to the Drain of 7301 through Pins 4 and 8 of 5300 from the Line Conditioner circuit. Current through sensing resistors 3308 and 3309 will develop a ramping voltage which is applied to comparator "B" connected to Pin 7. When the voltage on Pin 7 reaches the reference voltage of the Comparator C, the flip-flop will be reset. The voltage on the inverting side of comparator "B" is limited to 1 volt. Therefore, the ramp voltage on Pin 7 will not exceed 1 volt. The circuit will continue to operate until the charge on capacitor 2303 falls below 9.4 volts shutting the IC Off. Each time 7301 is turned On, energy is stored in transformer 5300. Voltage from the HOT secondary on Pin 10 is rectified by 6301. When the output of this circuit has sufficient energy to maintain 2303 above 9.4 volts, the IC then operates in steady state. Regulation When IC 7302 develops a normal steady state of operation, the 130 volt supply is sampled by resistors 3324, 3350, 3323, and 3322. This sample voltage is then sent to Page 8 Shunt regulator 7304, which drives the feedback opto-isolator 7303. The feedback voltage on Pin 14 is then compared with an internal 2.5 volt reference by comparator "C". Comparator "C" then sets the reference voltage on the inverting side of comparator "B" to control the On time of the drive at Pin 3. If the voltage on Pin 14 increases due to the 130 volt supply increasing, the On time of the pulse on Pin 3 will be reduced. If the 130 volt supply decreases, the voltage on Pin 14 would decrease, causing the On time of the pulse on Pin 3 to increase. This is used to keep the 130 volt supply at the correct voltage. Variable resistor 3322 is used to adjust the 130 volt supply to the correct level. The overvoltage protection circuit of the IC will shut the IC down if the VCC level on Pin 1 exceeds 17 volts. Troubleshooting To troubleshoot this circuit, first check the On/Off line from the Small Signal Panel to ensure that it is going Low. Then check for the presence of startup voltage on Pin 1 of the regulator IC 7302. If the IC is working correctly, this voltage will be changing from 9.4 to 14.5 volts. If the startup voltage is not present, check the startup resistor 3300 and the bridge rectifier. If the voltage on Pin 1 is changing, check the drive signal on Pin 3 of 7302. Then check for signal on the gate and drain of 7301. An excessive load on the secondary, a short on the 130 volt line for example, would cause the supply to pulse with little or no voltage on the secondary.

12 AND 8 VOLT REGULATORS (Figure 8) Voltage regulator 7611 produces an 8 volt supply for the Audio Processor located on the SSB panel. Regulator 7612 produces a 12 volt source for the Video Output circuits

located on the SSM panel. Both of these regulators are powered by the +15SSB source from the Full Power Section. Both of these regulators are located on the SSM panel.

FIGURE 8 - 12 AND 8 VOLT REGULATORS

Page 9

5.2 VOLT REGULATOR (Figure 9) A 5.2 volt source is developed by 7308 and 7307. The Pulse Width modulator in 7307 drives transistor 7308 to produce the source. This is a Buck Switch type regulator. The On time of 7308 determines the charge on capacitors 2344 and 2352 to produce the output voltage. Feedback for regulator is

sampled by resistors 3339, 3340, and 3334 which is fed to Pin 5 of 7307. When the Feedback circuit senses a decrease in the 5.2 volt supply, the PWM turns 7308 On for a longer period of time, increasing the output voltage. This circuit is powered by the 15 volt supply from the Full Power Section. This source is fed to the SSB. This circuit is located on the LSB.

FIGURE 10 - SSM - SIDE I/O VIDEO INPUT VIDEO INPUT (Figure 10) Two Composite Video inputs, one SVHS Component input, and one Y Cr Cb Component input are located on the SSM panel. The Y Signal is fed to a Y Sharpness circuit which is controlled by the DAC 7710. The Component Y Cr Cb signal is then fed to 7711 which switches between the Component input and the RGB signal from the Convergence circuit. The RGB signal from the Convergence circuit displays the Convergence crosshatch pattern during the Convergence Alignment. FB is the blanking signal from the Convergence circuit which is selected by IC 7712. FB1 is the blanking signal from the Gemstar circuit. If the Y Cr Cb component input is selected, 7712 selects the Y signal for the AV2 input to the SSB. This is to provide Page 11

Sync to the Signal processor on the SSB when the Component input is selected. Sync for the Component input signal is on the Y or Luminance Component. The DAC, 7710 provides the switching for 7711 and 7712. IC 7712 selects V2 if the Aux 2 or SVHS input is selected. The Chroma signal is fed directly to the SSB. The Composite Video or YC from the Side Jack Panel is fed directly to the SSB via the SSM. All of the Composite inputs and YC inputs are also fed to the PIP circuit. The Component Y Cr Cb signal is only fed to the SSB via the SSM. Therefore, it is not possible to have the Component input in the PIP window. Selected Composite Video from the SSB is also output on the Video output jack. The Front-Detect senses the presence of an SVHS and or Headphone connected to the Side Jack panel. The SVHS Jack and Headphone jack has normally closed switches, which are connected to ground. If a SVHS cable or Headphone is connected, the internal switch opens changing the voltage on the Front-Detect line. In the same manner, the SEL-SVHS-RR_STATUS2 line signals the Microprocessor that a cable is connected to the SVHS, Aux 2 connector. The DAC IC 7710 also has four video blanking lines on Pins 11, 12, 13, and 14. The BBLK, GBLK, and RBLK blanks the individual CRTs during Convergence alignment. The G2SETUP blanks all three CRTs when G2SETUP is selected in the Service Menu. SSB AND PIP VIDEO SIGNAL FLOW (Figure 11) The PTV900 Series Projection TV has two PIP versions which are the Single Tuner PIP and the Two Tuner PIP. The Main Tuner is located on the SSM and the PIP Tuner is located on the PIP panel. All Video switching for the main picture is performed on the SSB. Page 12

IF from Pin 11 of the Main Tuner, located on the SSM, is fed to the Saw Filter 1451 on the SSB. The output of the Saw Filter is fed to the Signal Processor 7301 on Pins 1 and 2. Composite Video from 7301 is output on Pin 16 and buffered by 7305 before being sent to the PIP panel via the SSM in the Two Tuner version. In the Single Tuner version, Jumper 4308 bypasses the PIP module. In the Single Tuner version, Tuner video is still sent to the PIP module in case the Tuner video is selected for the PIP window. In the Two Tuner PIP version, the PIP module selects between the Main Tuner video and the PIP Tuner video. Baseband Audio from Pin 27 of 7301 is buffered by 7331 and mixed with the Main Tuner video in the Two Tuner version. In the Single Tuner version, Baseband Audio is fed to the Audio processor via Jumper 4304. In the Two Tuner version, Baseband Audio from the selected video source from the PIP Module is fed to the Audio Processor via Jumper 4307. Video is then fed to the Bandpass Filter 1333 to filter out any Audio component. The Video signal is then to Pin 24 of 7301 which selects between the selected Tuner Video or selected Aux in Video for the main picture. IC 7401 selects between Aux1 , Aux2 and Aux3 for the MAIN-CVBS-EXT-IN. Selected Composite Video is the output on Pin 54 and is buffered by 7421 before being fed to the Comb Filter 7405. Y or Luminance on Pin 15 and Chroma on Pin 13 is fed to the YC Switching IC 7407. IC 7407 selects between the output of the Comb Filter IC and selected YC input from the SVHS inputs. The selected YC signal is then fed to the Matrix circuit in 7401 on Pin 21 and 20. YUV is then fed to the internal YUV switch. The YUV Switch selects between the internal YUV or external YUV from the Component input jacks. This is an RGB signal if the Convergence Alignment mode has been selected. Y is the Luminance signal, U is the B-Y or Cb signal. V is the R-Y or Cr signal.

Selected YUV is the output on PIns 40, 45 and 46 to the PIP Module via connector 0205. The PIP Module then outputs the YUV signal back to the SSB to Pins 39, 47, and 48 of 7301. The signal is then fed to a Control circuit and then to the RGB Matrix. The Matrix is then fed to an RGB output circuit. Brightness, Contrast, Color, Color Temperature, RGB cutoffs, RGB drives, and Tint are all controlled inside 7301. RGB is then output to the SSM and the RGB Amplifiers. The RGB signal is then fed to the three CRT panels. The EHTINFO line is sent to the Cathode Calibration circuit to sense changes in Beam Current in the CRTs. The CUTOFF line is used to calibrate the Cutoffs and Drives to maintain the correct White Balance. These circuits are discussed in more detail later. PIP VIDEO SIGNAL FLOW (Figure 12) If the PTV is a Two Tuner version, the second Tuner is located on the PIP module. IF from the PIP Tuner is fed to SAW filter 1901 and then to the Signal Processor 7914. Combined Composite Video and Baseband Audio is output on Pin 7. This signal is fed to 7916 which selects between the output of 7914 and Composite Video from the SSB. Selected Video for the Main Picture is output on Pin 15 and is buffered by 7917 before being fed to the SSB via the SSM. The output on Pin 4 selects between the SSB and PIP Tuner for PIP window signal. The output on Pin 4 is buffered by 7920 and fed

to 7801, which selects between selected Tuner Video and Aux in video. Selected output on Pin 15 is buffered and fed to the PIP IC 7803. IC 7803 is controlled by the SDA and SCL data lines on Pins 3 and 4. Vertical Sync is fed to the IC on Pin 33 and Horizontal Sync if fed to the IC on Pin 32. The IC digitally process the Video to a PIP window. The PIP window is output as YUV and FB to 7919 on Pins 6, 7, 8, and 5. YUV from the SSB for the Main Picture is fed to 7919 on Pins 2, 3, and 4. IC 7919 inserts the PIP window into the Main Picture signal if a PIP signal is present. YUV is then output on Pins 12, 11, and 10 to the SSB. PIP POWER SUPPLY (Figure 13) The PIP Panel is powered by the 5.2 volt, 8 volt, and 33 volt power supplies from the Large Signal Panel (LSP) via the SSM. The 5.2 volt supply is fed to 7891 to produce three 3.3 volt supplies for the PIP processing IC. The 33 volt supply is not present in the Single Tuner version. PIP CONTROL (Figure 14) IC 7910 provides the switching signals for the PIP Panel. This is IC is controlled by the SDA and SCL (I2C bus) lines from the Microprocessor. The SEL_TUNER1 and SEL_TUNER2 lines switch 7916 to switch between the Tuner Video from the SSB and the PIP Tuner. Control lines S1, S2 and S3 switch 7801 to select between the selected Tuner Video or one of the Aux inputs for the PIP window.

CRT DRIVE CIRCUIT (Figure 15) Red, Green, and Blue drive from the SSB panel is fed to the CRT drive circuit on the SSM PANEL. Red drive is fed to transistors 7600 and 7602. Green drive is amplified by 7603 and 7605. An additional amplification circuit is added to the Blue circuit to provide added gain. This is called the Blue Stretch circuit. This circuit consist of transistors 7606, 7607, and 7613. Transistors 7601, 7604, 7609 provides CRT blanking. In the event of a Sweep failure, the High on the CRT protection line from the High Voltage Scan circuit will go Low. Diodes 6602, 6605, and 6610 will will turn the blanking transistors On.

When the G2SETUP line goes low, diodes 6606, 6600, and 6603 are forward biased, blanking drive to the CRT's. During the Convergence Alignment mode, it is necessary to blank the CRT or CRTs that are not being adjusted. This is accomplished by placing a Low on the RBLK (Red Blanking), GBLK (Green Blanking), or the BBLK (Blue Blanking). The Red, Green and Blue Drive is fed to the Green CRT panel along with a 12 volt bias. Red and Blue drive from the Green CRT panel is routed to their respective CRTs. Filament voltage and the 240 volt CRT drive voltage from the Scan High Voltage panel is fed to the Green CRT panel.

FIGURE 15 - CRT DRIVE CIRCUIT

FIGURE 16 - GREEN CRT PANEL GREEN CRT PANEL (Figure 16) Green Drive from the SSM is fed to transistor 7802 on the Green CRT panel. The other Colors are fed to their respective CRT panels via the Green CRT panel. The 12 volt source turns transistor 7801 On to switch drive the Cathode of the CRT. Transistor 7801 is an impedance matching circuit to connect the low output impedance of 7802 to the high input impedance of the CRT. CRT drive is fed to transistor 7805 to produce IKG feedback. The IKG, IKR, and IKB feedback is combined on the SSM. This is part of an automatic CRT bias level loop. The CRT is powered by the 240 volt source from the Large Signal panel. Focus and G2 voltage is provided by the Focus/G2 block. Filament voltage is provided by the Horizontal output circuit on the Large Signal panel. The Red and Blue CRT panels have similar circuits. Troubleshooting If there is no Picture present on the set, but Audio is present, it can be assumed that the Power Supply is working correctly. If G2 voltage is present, it can be assumed that the High voltage circuits are working. The 240 volt supply, 12 volt supply, and RGB drives should be checked next. The CRT boards can be interchanged between CRTs to determine if the problem is with the CRT or the CRT drive panel. At least one of the CRTs must be connected to produce RGB drive. If none of the CRTs are connected a calibrating pulse at the Vertical rate will be present on the CRT drive lines. Page 19

Page 20

FIGURE 17 - CUTOFF AND CATHODE CALIBRATION

CUTOFF AND CATHODE CALIBRATION (Figure 17) The Cathode Calibration circuit in 7301 continuously adjust the RGB drives to keep the correct White Balance for the picture. The IKB Blue CRT Feedback signal is fed to 7615. The bias for 7615 is set by 3666, 3663, and 3664. The output of 7615 charges 2625, driving 7616. The combination of the ABL voltage and internal resistance of 7616 sets the Cathode Calibration voltage on Pin 34 of 7301, Signal Processor. This signal is also used to ensure that there are no Brightness changes due to changes in Beam Current. It is also connected to the Vertical Drive circuits to ensure that the Picture Height does not change due to changes in Beam Current. IC 7301 also has a Beam Current Limiting

and Peak White Limiting circuit. This signal is monitored via the BLKIN input on Pin 30. This circuit is driven by the CUTOFF line which is a combination of the IKR, IKG, and IKB CRT feedback signals. Capacitors 2622 and 2336 form a Low Pass filter to prevent the circuit from reacting to the High Frequency content of the Video signal. When the Set is turned On, a Calibration signal is output on the RGB lines. This signal is fed back on the IKR, IKG, and IKB lines. When this signal reaches the correct amplitude, the RGB output circuit in 7301 switches On to output the Video signal. This signal is a stair-step signal at the vertical rate and is fed to the CRTs during the vertical blanking period. During Turn Off, this same signal is applied to the CRTs to ensure that the CRTs are discharged.

FIGURE 18 - HORIZONTAL DRIVE CIRCUIT

HORIZONTAL DRIVE CIRCUIT (Figure 18) Horizontal Drive from the SSB Panel is fed to buffer transistor 7803. Transistor 7803 then drives the Horizontal Driver transistor 7801. Horizontal drive is then fed to the Line output transistor 7802. Transistor 7802 drives the three Horizontal Yokes and the Scan transformer 5801. The Scan transformer produces a 240 volt supply for the CRT drive circuits, a Filament drive for the CRT's, a plus and minus 13 volt supply for the Vertical drive circuit. It also produces a 32 volt supply for the beam limiter circuit in the High Voltage circuit. The output of the Horizontal Output transistor 7802 is also fed to buffer transistors 7800 to produce a Horizontal feedback pulse to the SSB Panel (HFB). The 170 volt Pulse is monitored by the Sweep Failure detection circuit. If this circuit detects a loss of Horizontal drive, the High Voltage is shut Off. Drive for geometry correction from the Small Signal panel on the E_W line drives transistors 7553, 7551, and 7552. This circuit drives the return side of the Horizontal Yokes to provide Horizontal corrections to the geometry. Geometry correction drive, E_W, is also fed to transistor 7830 which produces drive for the Dynamic Focus, LV. The Dynamic Focus voltage is connect to the Focus/G2 block to provide edge focus

correction. The Horizontal component to the Dynamic Focus is added in transformer 5802. VERTICAL DRIVE CIRCUIT (Figure 19) Vertical Drive from the Small Signal panel (FDRVP and VDRV) is fed to the Vertical Output IC 7550. This circuit is powered by a +13 volt supply connected to Pin 8 and a -13 volt supply connected to Pin 6 which are supplied by the Horizontal Drive circuit. Pin 5 of 7550 provides drive for the three Vertical yokes. Vertical drive feedback from the return side of the yokes is fed back to Pin 2 of 7550. Vertical sync (VPUL) for the Sweep Failure Detection circuit is output on Pin 4 of the IC. Output from Pin 7 is buffered by transistor 7590 to produce a Vertical Sync pulse (VFB) for the SSB. A failure in this circuit would cause the High Voltage to shut down. A problem in this circuit could be caused by a loss of drive from the SSB or a failure in the Horizontal Sweep circuit. An open Yoke connection would also cause the Vertical drive from the IC to shut down. When troubleshooting this circuit to component level, the CRTs should be unplugged to prevent damage to them.

FIGURE 20 - HIGH VOLTAGE AND SHUTDOWN

Page 25

HIGH VOLTAGE AND SHUTDOWN (Figure 20) The High Voltage circuit in the PTV900 series chassis is contained in an integrated High Voltage Module. This circuit is powered by the 130 volt source from the Full Power supply. The Dag line from the CRT's is connected to 1574 and to Pin 1 of the High Voltage module. This line along with the current sense line from Pin 2 is connected to the Beam Limiter transistors 7905 and 7910. This provides feedback to the RGB output circuit in IC 7301 located on the SSB panel to make minor changes in brightness and vertical height. When the set is turned On, 130 volts is applied to Pin 10 of the High Voltage module. Transistor 7500 acts as an OR gate to detect the failure of Vertical Sweep (VPUL) or Horizontal Sweep (170V Pulse). When these pulses are present, 7500 is turned Off, allowing 7501 to turn On. This will apply approximately 7.5 volts dc to Pin 8 of the High Voltage module, turning it On.

The High Voltage module produces 15 kV for the Focus/G2 block and 30 kV for the CRT's. This also places a High on the CRT_PROT line, allowing the CRT drive circuits to turn On. If Horizontal or Vertical drive should fail, CRT drive and High Voltage will be shut off to protect the CRT's. A failure is either drive will cause 7500 to turn On, turning 7501 Off, removing the 7.5 volts from Pin 8 of the High Voltage module, shutting it Off. The CRT_PROT line will also go Low, shutting the RGB amplifiers to the CRT panels Off. In the case of Overcurrent, the voltage on Pin 2 of the High Voltage module will drop, turning transistor 7909 On, turning 7908 On, latching 7907 and 7908. This will remove the 7.5 volt turn On voltage at Pin 8 of the High Voltage module, turning it Off. During turn On, transistor 7906 is biased Off while capacitor 2913 charges. This prevents the shutdown latch from turning On while the High Voltage module is turning On.

FIGURE 21 - CONVERGENCE BLOCK

Page 27

DIGITAL CONVERGENCE CIRCUIT (Figure 21) CRT's and Yokes are not linear devices. Therefore, a convergence circuit is necessary to align the beams of all three tubes over the entire screen. The Convergence panel is powered by a +32 volt, a -32 and a +15 volt supply from the Power Supply panel. A Horizontal Sync (H PUL) and a Vertical Sync (V PUL) from the Scan High Voltage panel keeps the Convergence Correction waveforms synchronized to the deflection system. The SDA and SCL lines on Pins 32 and 34 allow the microprocessor on the SSM Panel to communicate with the microprocessor on the SSB Panel. During the Convergence alignment mode, the crosshatch pattern is generated in the Convergence circuit. Red, Blue, Green, and Fast Blanking are fed to the Interface panel and then to the Small Signal panel to be inserted into the video drive. There are two plus 5 volt regulators, and a -5 volt regulator in the convergence circuit. These are fed by the plus 15 volt SSB, and the -32 volt supplies from the Large Signal Panel. The 5 volt supply feeds the microprocessor while the 5VA supply feeds the Digital to Analog converter IC's. The Plus and minus 32 volt supplies provide power to the output IC's 7012 and 7014. The Convergence panel has a phase-locked loop oscillator which produces a 13.59 MHz signal. (Figure 30) This signal is phase locked to the 15734 Hz NTSC Horizontal Blanking pulse (HPUL). This signal is used as the system clock which is used by the convergence spline processor (CSP) and the three digital to analog converters (DACS). Therefore, the convergence correction waveforms are synchronized to the deflection system of the television set. Operational amplifier 7001 is used as an inverting two pole Sallen_Key filter which Page 28

acts as the loop filter. Transistor 7000 and 7001 make up the oscillator. When the set is turned On, the microprocessor on the Small Signal panel reads the data stored in 7007 on the Convergence panel via the I2C bus. This information contains the x-y coordinates for the 35 alignment points of each color visible on the screen during convergence set up along with other register settings used by the csp. The csp uses fourth order polynomial equations called quadric splines in the algorithm to convert the data of the 35 (7 horizontal by 5 vertical) alignment points into 24 points per horizontal 486 vertical lines for NTSC. The resulting digital data is supplied to 7009, 7011 and 7010, the three two channel dacs which convert the digital data into analog convergence correction signals for red, green, and blue horizontal and vertical. The csp outputs are approximately 1 to 2 volts peak to peak with a 2.5 volt dc offset. The csp also supplies a 375 KHz 5 volt peak to peak ws or word select signal to select the proper channel on the dac for horizontal or vertical. The Convergence correction waveforms may be disabled for set up procedures by shorting connector 1005. The output of the dac's are amplified and filtered by IC200, IC201, and IC202 before being fed to the Yoke drive amplifiers. If for some reason the set needs to be converged in the field, the csp generates a cross hatch pattern with an intensified cross. Control for 7003 csp is done by the microprocessor on the SSB Panel. The R, G, B, Fast Blanking, and Intensity signals used to display the pattern are output on Pins 29, 30, 31, 25, and 26 on 7003.

AUDIO SIGNAL FLOW All of the Audio switching is done on the SSB Panel. (Figure 22) Baseband Audio SIF1 is fed to Pin 50 of 7651, Audio Processor. Two Aux signals from the Rear Jack Panel and one channel from the Side Jack Panel can be fed to the switch inside the IC. An AVC (Automatic Volume Correction) circuit in the IC corrects for changes in audio levels from different program sources. When the AVC circuit turned On, a fixed output of -18 dB will be maintained for an input varying from -24 dB to 0 dB. That is with an input level of 0 dB being 2 volts rms and the output level of 0 dB being 1.4 volts rms. Pins 21 and 20 are the outputs to the Audio Amplifier. Pins 18 and 17 are output to the Headphone Amplifier. The Audio Amplifier and Headphone are all tied to an internal volume control and Muting circuit. The SC1_OUT_R and SC1-OUT-L are fixed line level outputs which are fed to the Audio Output on the Rear Jack Panel. The Aux out, Headphone, or Speaker output can be driven by different sources as selected by the user. For example, the user can be listening to the Audio from the main picture through the speakers and listening to the PIP Audio through the Headphones. Audio from 7651 on the SSB Panel is fed to

the Audio Amplifier on the SSM Panel. (Figure 23) The Audio is input on Pins 7 and 11 and output on Pins 4 and 2. The IC is powered by a 36 volt AMP-VCC supply from the Full Power Supply. When the Microprocessor on the SSB senses that all the supplies are present, the Sound-Enable line goes High, turning transistor 7401 On. This causes Pin 5 of 7402 to change from 36 volts to 28 volts. If the +15 volt supply goes Low, transistor 7405 will turn On, turning transistor 7410 On, which will turn transistor 7401 Off. Pin 5 of 7402 will then go to 36 volts, which will Mute the Audio. Left and Right Headphone Audio is fed to 7403 and then to the Headphone Jack on the Side Jack Panel. Sub-woofer audio is buffered by 7415 before being fed to the Rear Jack Panel. The Side Jack panel is only used in the two Tuner version. Left and Right Monitor output audio from the SSB is fed to output jack located on the SSM.

MICROPROCESSOR (Figure 24) The Microprocessor (Painter), 7064, is located on the SSB Panel. The User communicates with the Microprocessor via the Remote Control or the Front Keyboard. The Keyboard is a resistor latter which produces a voltage level change on Pin 5 when the User makes a selection. The Remote Receiver is located on the Front Panel. The Program to run the set is loaded in the ROM in the Microprocessor. User settings, Geometry settings, Options Codes to identify the set, Error Codes, Tuner and Audio settings, and Cutoff settings are stored in the Memory IC 7066. The Microprocessor communicates with the Memory IC via an I2C buss. The Microprocessor communicates with the rest of the set via to I2C busses on Pins 82, 81,

and 84, 83. Additional communications with the set is done through six analog control lines, STAND-BY, SEL-MAIN-FRNT-RR, SEL-MAIN-R1R2, SOUND-ENABLE, SYS1 AND SYS2. The STAND-BY line goes Low to turn the set On. On Screen Display (OSD) is output on Pins 46, 47, and 48 of the IC. Sync for this display is input on Pins 53 and 55. I2C BUS (Figure 25) The Microprocessor SDA and SCL lines communicate with seven devices. They are the 7301 Signal Processor, 7651 Audio Processor on the SSB. On the SSM the line controls the Main Tuner and 7710 Control DAC. The line then goes to the PIP Panel where it controls the Tuner, PIP Processor, and Control IC.

BOARD LEVEL TROUBLESHOOTING (Figure 27) The PTV900 series projection TV is designed for modular level repair. To make an accurate determination of which module is defective a Voltmeter and Oscilloscope are necessary. Dead Set The Standby LED on the front of the set should come on as soon as power is applied to the set. If the Standby LED is lit, the Standby Power supply is working. If there is no Standby LED, check the Standby B+. This should be checked using the GND_HA as a ground reference. This is a HOT ground. An isolation transformer should always be used when troubleshooting any electronic product. This voltage should be approximately 160 volts dc. If this voltage is present, then the +3.3 volt supply to the SSM should be checked. This voltage can be checked on Pin 10 of connector 1518 on the LSB. If the Standby voltage is missing at this point, then there is a problem on the LSB (Large Signal Board). The Microprocessor is located on the SSB, which plugs in to the SSM. The 3.3 volt supply to the SSB can be checked on Pin 40 of connector 1026. If this voltage is present, the problem is on the SSB. If this voltage is missing from Pin 40, there is a connection problem on the SSM. If the Standby LED is working, the Standby line should go Low to turn the Main Power Supply On. This can be checked on Pin 9 of 1518. If the line goes Low, then check the 130 volt supply on Pin 2 of 1518. If the 130 volt supply is not present, check the MAIN B+ to the LSB from the Filter Panel. This voltage should be checked relative to GND_C. This is a HOT ground. If the MAIN B+ is present, and the 130 volt supply is missing, the problem is on the LSB. If the

130 volts supply is present, the High Voltage (EHT) should be checked. An easy was to determine if High Voltage is present, is to check the Screen Voltage (G2). Follow any of the G2 lines from the Focus/G2 Block to its respective CRT and check the voltage there. This voltage will be approximately 240 volts. If High Voltage is missing, Horizontal and Vertical drive to the LSB should be checked. Horizontal Drive can be check on Pin 1 of connector 1520. Vertical Drive can be checked on Pin 5 of connector 1520. These signals are generated on the SSB which plugs into the SSM. Horizontal Drive can be checked on Pin 55 of connector 1026. Vertical Drive can be checked on Pin 52 of connector 1026. If Horizontal and Vertical Drives are being fed to the LSB, the problem is on the LSB. No Picture If OSD (On Screen Display) is present, it can be assumed that the Power Supplies are all working, Video Drive Circuits are working, and CRTs are working. If no OSD is present, check the Red, Green, and Blue drive to the CRT panels on connector 1083. The +12 volt supply should also be checked. If a Pulse at the Vertical rate is present on these lines, check to see if the same Pulse is present on the IKR, IKG, and IKB lines. If it is not, the problem is on the CRT panels. If no signal is present on the RGB lines, check R-CRT, G-CRT, and B-CRT lines on connector 1026. If no signal is present at that point, change the SSB. No Audio If no Audio is present, check the Audio Power supply on Pin 11 of connector 1017 on the SSM panel. This should be approximately 36 volts. If this voltage is present, check the Audio lines and SoundEnable line from the SSB. If Audio is present and the Sound-Enable line is 5 volts, the SSM should be repaired or replaced. Page 37

SERVICE MODES Service Default Mode (SDM) The Service Default Mode (SDM) is a technical aid for the service technician. The Service Default Mode (SDM) establishes fixed, repeatable settings of customer controls, which allow consistent measurements to be made. The SDM also initiates the blinking LED procedure and, if necessary, overrides the 5V protection. This mode also allows the operating hours of the set, the software version, and error codes to be read. The SDM places the set in the following pre-defined conditions: Tuning frequency set to Channel 3. Volume level set to 25% (of the maximum volume level). Other picture and sound settings set to 50% (mid-range). The following functions are turned off in SDM (and after leaving SDM): Timer Sleep timer The following functions are disabled during SDM (and enabled after leaving SDM): Parental lock All other controls operate normally. Entering Service Default Mode To enter the Service Default Mode, press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: 0-6-2-5-9-6-MENU Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence. Upon entry into the Service Default Mode, the letters "SDM" will be displayed at the upper right corner of the screen. Pressing the "MENU" button on the remote control switches between the SDM and the normal user menus (with the SDM mode still active in the background) Run timer, software identification, and error buffer Press the Index or Status button on the remote control to toggle the OSD (except "SDM") ON and OFF to prevent the OSD from interfering with measurements and oscilloscope waveforms. Access to SAM To access the Service Alignment Mode while press the "VOLUME +" and "VOLUME -" buttons on the local keyboard simultaneously for at least 4 seconds. The 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. NOTE: If errors 1, 2, 3, or 4 occur the LED ALWAYS blinks indicating the last error which Page 38

occurred, even if the set is NOT in service mode. When the SDM is entered, the LED will blink the number of times equal to the value of the error code. Upon entry into the SDM, the LED will blink the contents of the error-buffer. Error-codes greater than/equal to 10 are shown in the following manner: A long blink of 750 milliseconds indicating the decimal digit, followed by a pause of 1500 milliseconds. The LED will then blink the number equal to the error code. When all errorcodes are displayed, the sequence is finished with an LED display of 3 seconds. At this point the sequence will begin again. Example: Error code position 1 2 3 4 5 Error buffer: 12 9 6 0 0 After entering SDM: The sequence will begin with 1 long blink of 750 milliseconds, then pause 1500 milliseconds, then blink twice (indicating error code 12), then the LED will pause for 3 seconds, then blink 9 times (indicating error code 9), then the LED will pause for 3 seconds, then blink 6 times (indicating error code 6), then pause 3 seconds and blink for 3 seconds again, ending the blinking sequence. Exiting Service Default Mode To exit the Service Default Mode, press the Power button. Service Alignment Mode (SAM) (See Figure 28) Introduction The Service Alignment Mode (SAM) is used to align the set and/or adjust the option settings and to display/clear the error code buffer values. Entering Service Alignment Mode To enter the Service Alignment Mode (SAM), press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: 0-6-2-5-9-6-INDEX or STATUS Do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence It is also possible to enter the Service Alignment Mode by pressing the "VOLUME +" and "VOLUME -" key on the local keyboard simultaneously for at least 4 seconds when the set is in SDM. Exit SAM: To exit the Service Alignment Mode, press the Power button. SAM Menu Control Menu items may be selected using the cursor UP/DOWN keys. The selected item will be highlighted. When not all menu items will fit on the screen, pressing the cursor UP/DOWN keys on the remote transmitter will display the next/previous menu items. With the cursor LEFT/RIGHT keys, it is possible to: (de)activate the selected menu item Page 39

(e.g. GEOMETRY) change the value of the selected menu item ( e.g. VER-SLOPE ) activate the selected submenu (e.g. SERV-BLK)

Access to normal user menu: Pressing the "MENU" button on the remote control switches between the SAM and the normal user menus (with the SAM mode still active in the background). Pressing the "MENU" key in a submenu will return the screen to the previous menu. Explanation of the Error 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 code will appear at the left side and all other errors shift one position to the right.

Customer Service Mode (CSM) All PTV900 sets are equipped with the "Customer Service Mode" (CSM). CSM is a special service mode that can be activated and deactivated by the customer, by request of the service technician/dealer in order to identify the status of the set. This CSM is a 'read only' mode, therefore modifications in this mode are not possible. The Customer Service Mode can be switched on by pressing the MUTE button on the remote control and any key on the local keyboard (Channel Up, Channel Down, VOL +, VOL -) on the TV simultaneously for at least 4 seconds. When the CSM is activated: Picture and sound settings are set to nominal levels. Modes that interfere with the behavior of the set are switched off (sleep timer, auto standby, etc.) Exit the Customer Service Mode. The Customer Service Mode will be switched off after pressing any key on the remote control (except "Channel Up" or "Channel Down") or by switching off the TV set by pressing the Power button on the remote control or the local keyboard. Exiting CSM resets the TV set back to its initial values.

PTV900 Series Convergence Alignment The set should be warmed up for at least 20 minutes prior to making any Geometry or Convergence adjustments. A signal must be applied to the set while performing Convergence or Geometry alignments. This is necessary to provide the correct horizontal and vertical sync to the Convergence panel. Failure to do so will result in an out of convergence picture when signal is applied to the set. The Serviced Technician should sit at least 5 to 10 feet from the front of the screen while doing Convergence. Ensure that you are eye level with the area of the screen you are adjusting. When performing Digital Convergence, the adjustments are interactive. A change in one quadrant will affect adjacent areas of the screen. Several passes through the Convergence sequence may be necessary. When doing Convergence, it is advised to follow the sequence pattern when going from on adjustment location to another. Pressing the Right Cursor key will sequence the Icon through a preloaded sequence. When the Convergence error is small, a touch up Convergence will be all that is necessary. Do not adjust Green Geometry while in this mode. A compete in-depth Convergence is required when the Small Signal Module (SSM) or the Convergence Memory IC, has been replaced. If the SSB (Small Signal Board) or the Large Signal Board (LSB) has been replaced, a complete in-depth Geometry should be completed before Convergence is adjusted. The Geometry alignment should not be necessary if the SSB or LSB have not been changed. When performing a complete in-depth Convergence alignment, a Screen Template is necessary to obtain the correct Geometry. The correct Templates are listed below: 43 50 55 60 64 INCH INCH INCH INCH INCH ST4168 ST4169 ST4170 ST4171 ST4172

Touch-up Convergence adjustments Enter the Digital Convergence Mode (DCM) by entering 0-6-2-5-9-7-(Status or Index) on the Remote control. The following menu will appear:

Select an active channel or Aux Input. A signal must be applied to the set when performing convergence.
