Objective
The information provided in this document is designed to assist the technician in
determining the defective printed circuit board. The troubleshooting flow charts,
signal path charts and connector information should provide enough detail that
the technician can accurately determine which one of the printed circuit boards is
required to repair the product. Alignment and adjustment procedures are also
included in this document.
The Block diagrams and the schematic drawings reference the model TH-
42PHD5, but the technology is consistent with any GPH5D chassis.

Scan Explanation
Panasonic progressive scan ALIS system Interlace scan
Figure 2
The 1-field (1/60 sec) display pixels on the Panasonic 42" and 37" SD models
and on the ALIS system models are VGA level. (Panasonic HD models are XGA
level, for higher resolution.)
A.L.I.S. (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) method is one of the new panel driving
systems of plasma display developed by Fujitsu Limited. ALIS method is a
system developed from the 3 electrode discharging system.
The ALIS method uses an interlaced driving scheme, which means the even and
odd lines are addressed alternately.
