REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

Working principle analysis of the unit
1. NTSC signal flow:
Antenna reception NTSC signal send to the integrative tuner FQD1236, which contains HF and IF amplifier circuit and video decoding circuit. It is controlled by main IC ZR39660 (inside CPU) through I2C bus. The NTSC signal via frequency tuning, HF amplification, IF amplification, system switching and decoding, output video signal TV-CVBS of 1Vpp and sound IF signal (SIF). TV-CVBS and AV1-CVBS, AV2-CVBS input from AV terminal, via switch IC HEF4052 to output signal, one way send to ZR39660 for VEDIO DECODER, DEINTERLACE and SCALER, then send to LVDS level drive for LCD screen, another way is output through AV output socket as AV OUT. The sound IF (SIF) is fed into demodulation IC CAS220, via decoding and A/D conversion, it is fed into ZR39660 for analog control in the format of I2S. ZR39660 outputs audio data of I2S format, it is fed into audio D/A converter IC CS4344, output analog L/R signal. The L/R signal and sound signal of PC/YPRPB via diverter switch HEF4052BT, send to R2S15900SP (sound processing and volume control). Select right/left sound channel, their send to digital sound amplifier TPA3001 amplify, then send to speaker.
2. ATSC signal flow:
Antenna reception ATSC signal send to tuner FQD1236, after frequency tuning, HF amplification, IF amplification and SAW FILTER, output IF signal to demodulation chip CAS220, via VSB or QAM demodulation, Sound stereo decoder, fed to ZR39660 for information source decoding in the format of standard serial TS stream. HD video signal via decoding to A/D conversion and OSD superposition, at last send to LVDS drive level for PDP panel. HD audio signal, via decoder built-in ZR39660, resumed to multi- channel sound of Dolby AC-3, at the same time output data stream of I2S format and S/PDIF data stream. Audio data of I2S format is fed to audio D/A conversion chip CS4344 to output analog L/R signal. S/PDIF data stream directly output from optical fiber interface.
3. PC/YPrPb signal flow
PC and two YPBPR signal via matched resistance, it a-c couple to video switch SN74CBT3257CDR, via switching to selected signal to Triple Video A/D Converter MST9883 A/D conversion. Send B/G/B of 24 bit to main IC ZR39660 digital decode, image scale and OSD superposition, then send
to LVDS level drive for LCD screen. Sound signal (PC, YPrPb) via switch diverter HEF4052BT to output signal, it send to R2S15900SP (sound processing and volume control) switch of audio. Select right/left sound channel, their send to digital sound amplifier TPA3001 amplify, then send to speaker.
4. HDMI signal flow
HDMI video signal is directly fed to main IC ZR39660 (with HDCP function of HDMI) digital decode, image scale and OSD superposition, then output LVDS drive level for screen. HDMI audio signal, via decoder built-in ZR39660,output data stream of I2S format and S/PDIF data stream at the same time. Audio data of I2S format is fed to audio D/A conversion chip CS4344 to output analog L/R signal. S/PDIF data stream directly output from optical fiber interface.
