Q051
VIF/SIF
The IF Signal from Tuner 1 is sent to IC101 on the B2 Board. The VIF passes through Buffer
Q102 then through Saw filter X101 (to improve selectivity of the signal) before it is input to pins 4
and 5 of IC101. The SIF signal passes through buffer Q104 and is input to Pin 7 of IC101. Both
Signals are amplified and detected, and the VIF is Output on Pin 18. Due to this Chassis having
21 System capabilities, the VIF signal passes through several sound traps and IC201 selects the
appropriate Sound Trap input (Depending on the command from main MPU on pins 12 and 4 of
IC201). The selected signal is then demodulated and a composite video signal is output on 20 of
IC 201. The Video signal is sent to the H-Board for switching.
The SIF signal is sent to a series of band pass filters and IC201 selects the appropriate filter input
(Depending on the command from main MPU on pins 12 and 4 of IC201). At the same time the
SIF is sent to Pin 47 of IC2001. This IC is a stereo decoder for the NICAM stereo and 2
nd
sound
carrier (A2 R channel) for A2 stereo. Pin 24 is R Out and Pin 25 is L Out. This is sent to H board
for switching.
The A2 left channel (Main sound L+R) is input to pin 11 of IC101, where the signal is detected and
demodulated and output at pin 10. This is sent to Pin 4 of B3 connector and sent to H board for
switching.
The Tuner 2 signal is demodulated within the Tuner and the Video signal is sent to Pin 3 of A12
connector and the Mono (L+R) signal is sent to Pin 2 of A12 connector.

AUDIO CONTROL
The L and R signals from the H-Board are input to IC2401 (Audio Control IC). The L and R signals are also
combined to form the center channel (Input to pin 30). This center Channel Output is also returned to MPU
for detection of Music content when the sound menu is set to AUTO. When music is detected, the the MPU
lowers the volume level. This is especially useful when watching a program on TV and a loud musical
Advertisement appears.
This IC is controlled by the MPU via IIC and in turn controls Volume, Bass, Treble, Balance and Surround
Sound effects. The Center Channel is sent to an Audio Amp for out via pin 19 of IC2401.
The L and R outputs (Pins 20,12) are fed to an Op Amp before they are amplified. The reason for this, is the
AFB (Acoustic Feed Back) circuit. Each L and R speaker housing has a microphone attached. The mic.
feeds back the actual sound coming from the speakers back to the Op Amp, where the Actual Audio Signal
and the Heard Audio Signal is mixed, and any distortion is removed to deliver crisp clear audio. The AFB
circuit is always active except when the main Headphone sockets is used. In this case a switch in the
headphone socket itself disables the sound to the amp and disconnects the feedback circuit.

IC1301
The main Video Signal (Including V and Y/C) is input to pins 62 and 63 of IC1301. This signal is then converted
to digital via 2 D/A converters. (1 for V/Y and 1 for C).
The Digital signal is sent to a Digital Comb Filter. Y/C signals are passed straight through but V signals are
separated into Y/C.
At this point all of the signals are are now Y/C. these are now sent to a Colour Decoder whereby the signal is
demodulated and converted to YUV.
This YUV Signal is sent to the Output Formatter. Here the sampling rate of the YUV signal is formatted to a rate
of 4:2:2.
IC1301 is connected to IIc for Manual and Auto system selection. It also processes the Sync for the different
types of signals (PAL/NTSC/SECAM).
IC1301 produces CLK 27.0 MHz and CLK 13.5 MHz for the processing and timing of all digital circuits within
the DG Board.
The Sub Picture Processing occurs in IC1302. The Inputs and Outputs are the same as IC1301, only difference
being the IC is defeatured (No Digital Comb Filter etc.) due to a much smaller screen size. All Sub Picture
adjustments are performed in this IC.

IC1304 Controls P in P and Multi Window processing. The Main Picture passes directly to the Output Mask
where the Main Picture is mixed with the Sub Picture.
The Sub Picture passes through Horizontal and Vertical Compression to reduce the size of the Picture. In
case of Multi Window or CH Search, the Digital signal is sent to Field Memory IC1305, where constant
reading and writing is performed in order for the set to store and display several different pictures. The signal
is the fed to the Output Mask for mixing, then output to IC1307.

IC1307
IC1307 Converts the 50Hz scan signal to a 100Hz scan signal. It performs this by copying 1 field into
memory then adding the copied field to the original. Normally Field A (25Hz) and Field B (25Hz) are joined
together to make 1 frame (50Hz). This is the basic operation of a PAL 50Hz system. However, with the
field memory circuit, each field becomes 50Hz, and when these fields are joined together, 1 frame
becomes 100Hz.
As the signal at this stage is in a Digital format, before the 100Hz conversion takes place the signal
passes through a noise reduction circuit before to clean up any noise in the signal so that any noise which
is present in the signal is not doubled after 100Hz conversion.

IC1308
IC1308 is the final stage of Digital Processing of the Video (YUV) Signal. This IC controls and processes all of
the Digital Picture Improvement circuits.
Adaptive YNR (Luminance noise reduction) - This circuit constantly monitors noise in the luminance signal and
adapts to the most suitable level of Digital Noise Reduction when the P.DNR is set to Auto. The more frequent
the noise in the picture, the stronger the effect from this circuit. Override of this circuit is possible by switching
the D.PNR to OFF.
Digital AI This constantly monitors the overall picture content and is responsible for ensuring that maximum
detail is achieved in dark or bright areas of the picture content and at the same time improving the contrast ratio.
CTI (Colour Transient Improver)- This circuit improves the different gradations of colour in a signal. Slight
differences in the shade of a colour is more easily recognizable giving more accurate colour reproduction.
LTI (Luminance Transient Improver)- This circuit improves the different gradations of Luminance in a signal.
Slight differences in the brightness of a part of a picture is more easily recognizable giving more accurate
definition in picture detail.
CRI (Colour Reproduction Improver) This circuit dramatically improves the brightness of a colour without
making the colour of a picture appear unnatural. E.g. if you can picture a scene where a woman is holding a red
rose up to her nose, you will notice the red in the rose is a bright sparkling Red, but the skin tone of the woman
is remarkably natural.
The sharpness of the H and V lines in the Luminance Signal is also improved within IC1308. As well as VM
(Velocity Modulation) which also improves the sharpness and contrast of the picture. As can be seen, a lot of
Digital processing of the original signal has taken place. The final stage is to convert this signal back to analogue
so that it can be displayed.

IC1309
The Display Processor inputs the analogue YUV Inputs, then through a MATRIX converts the signal to RGB for
output to the CRT (Pins 40-42).
IC1309 Functions
-Processes VGA signal via input to Pins 30, 31 and 32, VGA/TV Blanking via Pin 33, and H (Pin 23) and V (Pin 24)
inputs. These same pin connections are also inputs for the Teletext Signal. The switching between Teletext and
VGA are controlled by the following ICs on the A Board.
IC3501 switches the RGB signals.
IC4002 switches the H Sync.
IC4002 switches the V Sync.
The command for switching these ICs is from MPU IC1101pin 58.
- The OSD is input to pins 35-38 and inserted to the picture.
- The V Drive is output at pins 1 & 2 to the V Output IC. The H Output is output at pin 8 for the H OUTPUT
Transistor. EHT (FBT) is input at pin 4. The IC uses this signal to regulate the H and V geometry during Beam
current changes so that the Geometry does not drastically alter during large changes in EHT.
-This IC adjusts all of the Picture (Brightness, Contrast etc) and Geometry (Height, width etc.) Functions via the IIC
bus on pins 10 & 11 connected to the MPU.
-This IC controls the AUTO WHITE BALANCE function. It Monitors the Beam current input at pin 43 and continually
adjusts the Cut Offs according to the scene of the picture. This information is sent to White Point where a RGB a
LINE is inserted to the Blanking Interval of each RGB Drive. It adjusts the RGB to maintain a white line and hence,
maintain white balance. The initial calibration is set at the factory which forms the main reference for this circuit to
perform effectively. During Service mode, the white balance is touched up by adjusting the screen control on FBT
only. During this period each RGB Output feeds back Black Current information to pin 44 to calibrate the cathodes
on the CRT.

Protection Circuit
There are several protection circuits in the MD2 Chassis. In the event of any abnormal operation that is monitored by
one of the protectors occurs, a H signal will be sent to pin 7 of MPU IC1101. Normally the voltage sits at around 0V. If
the voltage exceeds 1.1 V, the protection will trigger and Output a H on Pin 27 to switch the Power Relay OFF.
To find which Circuit has caused the trigger, monitor the voltages at the anodes of each diode with an analogue
meter at switch ON. Alternatively, disconnecting the diodes one by one (Not recommended) until power stays On.
However this is risky and it is urged to take care as disconnecting certain protection circuits such as Power Supply,
EHT, Vertical Deflection etc.. can destroy the CRT. Look at what the protection circuit does and take appropriate
action to make sure no inadvertent damage can happen (Use Variac, Disconnect CRT Board etc..).

With the aid of a Dot Scope, it is possible to view the beam landing at any given point.
There are 3 main points which need to have correct beam landing in order to achieve
good overall purity.
1. Center area of CRT.
2. Center Left of CRT.
3. Center Right of CRT.
Note: When viewing images through a Dot Scope, the image is reversed due to the
Optical nature of the lenses. IE. When you look through the scope and glance at
the left side of the image, you are actually glancing at right side of the image.

ABL
In Television, a normal ABL operation detects current flowing through the secondary coils of the FBT. However this
system is not ideal for a projection TV because it has 3 CRTs. An abnormal current drain from only 1 of 3 CRTs may
not be detected as sufficient current to activate the ABL. In this case a circuit has been added to monitor the current
for each CRT at the output of the RGB Drives. A standard ABL is also used for extra protection.
Normally the Base of Q7735 is low and the Transistor is On. The transistor receives its input via 3 diodes D3352,
D3362 and D3372.
The output value of Q7735 is input to pins 5, 7, 9 and 11 of IC7705. The compared result is output from pins 1, 2, 13
and 14. This data is then input to IC7702 as P0 P3. From this, the CRT current is separated into 5 levels. Level A
will incur maximum ABL effect and Level E will incur no ABL effect.
W
SHADING
To correct variations in the left and right shading due to differences in the positioning of the CRTs, a
Shading Circuit has been added. It works as a gamma correction circuit to make the colour temperature of
the Red and Blue CRTs uniform across the screen.
A Horizontal Pulse is supplied and is converted to a Sawtooth and Parabola waveform.by Q7741-Q7744
and Q7745-Q7747 respectively. The H.PARA is input to pin 2 of IC7704 and the H.SAW is input to pin 5.
These signals are mixed then output from Pin 7 of IC7704.
The mixed correction waveform is split to Pin 10 ( R ) and Pin 8 ( B ). The Red and Blue gain is adjusted
and the Left and right brightness is varied to correct any lack of colour uniformity on the screen.
PICTURE MOVING FUNCTION
This feature operates to prevent burn-out from occurring in the
phosphor substance of the projection tube when the
picture is still for an extended period of time.
The following cases will activate Picture Moving function.
1. Switching the Power On.
2. Changing Channels.
3. Changing AV Inputs
The MPU sends a command to move the screen horizontally and
vertically, to IC1309 (Display Processor DG-Board),
through the IIC Bus, each time the above occurs.
W
SINGLE COLOUR MODE
During Service Mode, each colour (R,G,B) can be switched OFF
individually when in P-Conver Mode when PIP button is
pressed on the remote.
The command data is sent to IC7707 (DAC) from IC1101(MPU)
via IIC bus line. Then a voltage is output from Pin 1, 2 and 9 of
IC7707 as in the table on the diagram.
FAN CONTROL
The E3D chassis requires a cooling fan to maintain the temperature within the set. The fan is located near
the Green CRT.
The internal temperature of the unit is detected by a thermistor attached to the metal chassis at the rear of
the set (Behind G-CRT). The thermistor provides the MPU of the temperature by supplying a voltage
to pin 11 of the MPU. When the temperature rises to 90 DEG C (point A), pin 8 of MPU outputs a
H voltage to the fan to start rotation. After the temperature falls to 80 DEG C (point B0, pin 48 of
MPU outputs a L voltage allowing the fan to switch off.
PROTECTION:
During the following conditions, pin 7 of MPU will receive a H and place the set into stand-by.
1. A5/SG7 connector and SG8 connector are disconnected.
2. The Fan is defective.

V. Stop Det.
RGB OUT BLANKING
The purpose of RGB blanking circuits is to prevent screen burn during abnormal operation. The different types of
blanking are:
1. Power Off Blanking
When the set is switched to standby the MPU sends a command to the Standby Relay to switch it OFF. The L
applied from the relay circuit switches Q7736 OFF (Normally ON). The higher Collector voltage on Q7736
will switch Q7738 ON to Blank the RGB signal and prevent flashing. This process also occurs if the
Protection Circuit is activated.
2. Horizontal Blanking
During Horizontal retrace, pulses are supplied by H.OUT transistor Q551 to the base of Q7738 for horizontal
blanking, to prevent the projection tubes emitting light during the fly-back interval.
3. VERTICAL STOP BLANKING
If vertical deflection stops, the remaining Horizontal line will burn the CRTs. To prevent this, a vertical pulse from
IC451 vertical output pin8 is applied D402. During normal operation, the pulse is applied to the base of
Q400, keeping Q400 turned on. If the V-pulse is not present, Q400 will switch OFF. The higher Collector
voltage on Q400 will switch Q7738 ON to BLANK the RGB signal.
VERTICAL OVER DEFLECTION BLANKING
If during the deflection period the electron beam goes beyond normal range and hits the neck of the CRT (over
deflection), the beam can burn through and destroy the CRT. The over deflection blanking circuit is
designed to prevent this.
IC 508 receives a vertical pulse at pin 2. This IC is a comparator, and when an abnormal level of V-Pulse is input,
the pin 4 output goes high supplying which is applied to the Base of Q7738, switching it ON to BLANK the
RGB signal.
IIC
IIC
DC-BOARD
When the set is switched ON, the SUB MPU, IC7106 is reset. IIC bus lines link this IC with the EEPROM IC7101
and LSI IC7107. Immediately after reset, the SUB MPU, commands the LSI to read convergence data stored in
the EEPROM. The LSI then writes to the 2 SRAM ICs IC7108 and IC7409. The data in the SRAM is read
continuously by the LSI IC and its output is sent to the DAC;s where the Digital signal is converted to analogue in
order to supply the necessary drive current to the Convergence Yoke (CY).
IC7103 Interface
This is an interface IC for the IIC bus line from the Main MPU. It translates data to a series of Highs or Lows at
its outputs. In Convergence Adjustment Mode it outputs a H (Pin 13) to the SUB MPU. At this time the SUB
MPU sends a L (Pin 110) to the Main MPU to disable the Remote Control function of the Main MPU. Now, only
the SUB MPU receives the Remote Control Commands.
IC7106 SUB MPU
In Convergence Adjustment Mode, this IC expands compressed stored data in the EEPROM and sends it to the
SRAM ICs via the LSI IC to refresh the data in the SRAM. It also controls the data flow between devices and
controls the functions of other ICs and circuits.
IC7101 EEPROM
This memory IC serves as the storage media for convergence data. It is Non Volatile which means it will hold the
data even after the Set is switched OFF. Its function does not change during Convergence adjustment.
IC7107 LSI
In adjustment mode, The LSI generates the Crosshatch pattern using the reference generated by OSD IC7110. It
matches the pattern to the actual convergence data to make correct adjustment possible. It also performs Read/Write
operation to the SRAM and EEPROM ICs.
IC7104 PLL
The PLL (Phase Locked Loop) produces a frequency of 16MHz which is synchronized by the Horizontal pulse output
from the LSI.
IC7102 LATCH
The frequency from the PLL IC is divided by 2. It is then supplied to the LSI at 8.0 MHz. The LSI outputs the 8.0MHz
CLK to IC7102, and divides the CLK signal by 2 and sends it to the Dynamic DAC ICs as a System CLK control signal
(4.0MHz).
IC7110 OSD TEXT
The OSD circuit is one of two OSD circuits in the set. In convergence adjustment mode, it generates the crosshatch
pattern, lettering and graphics seen on the screen. Its output is sent to the LSI as RGB and Blanking.
IC7109 STATIC DAC
This DAC is used to convert static convergence serial data applied to it from the SUB MPU to DC Voltage levels.
The voltages are added to the Dynamic Convergence signals (After DAC process), then amplified by IC7001 and
IC7002 before being applied to the CYs.
IC7111 - IC7113, IC7401 - IC7403 Dynamic DAC
These ICs convert the H and V convergence data to analogue. The DACs utilize 3 CLK signals to perform this
task. The LR CLK (250KHz) which recognizes the data blocks, the BIT CLK (8.0 MHz) which recognizes the data
bits, and the SYS CLK (4.0 MHz) which performs the conversion task.
IC7404 SWITCH
This IC constantly switches the data conversion between DAC Array 1 and DAC Array 2 with the aid of the LR
CLK. As this set is a 100Hz interlaced scan, each field is 50HZ. Each DAC Array represents one of those fields.
IC7108 & IC7409 SRAM
These ICs hold the Convergence data once the set is switched ON. The data is initially copied from the
EEPROM (Via control from the SUB MPU and LSI), each time the set is switched ON. During Convergence
adjustment alignment, the data is updated as alignment progresses. After completion, the data is saved to the
EEPROM.
IC7116 IC7118 LPF
These ICs are Low Pass Filters. The purpose of these ICs is to round off the staircase steps of the signals to
transform them into smooth analogue signals. The Static Convergence Output is joined at the output of this IC,
before being amplified by the convergence amps.
The Convergence can be
adjusted at 15 points
Horizontally (13 points
viewable) by 11 points
vertically (9 points viewable)
giving a total of 165 points of
convergence correction.
The convergence is stored in 4
memory locations within the
EEPROM. P-1 for NTSC signals,
P-2 for PAL signals, P-3 Blank
copy box, and P-4 for Factory
use. The Sub MPU selects the
appropriate location depending
on the input signal. Either P-1
or P-2 data can be copied to P-3
for safe keeping in case of
customer tampering.
AD 13 16
At switch on, RESET IC7105 resets
the SUB MPU, LSI and OSD IC
Data is sent from the main MPU to
inform the the SUB MPU of the
following
- Which system is being used
(PAL/NTSC).
- Which memory address to read
from.
- Is the set in normal or convergence
adjustment mode.
This table indicates the Sub MPU
settings for memory address read
and system selection. When
Convergence mode is activated, a
H is sent to pin 16 of Sub MPU.
