Avertissements

F

­ Safety regulations demand that the set be restored to its original condition and that components identical with the original types be used. Safety components are marked by the symbol

­ Les normes de sécurité exigent qu'aprés réparation I'appareil soit remis dans son état d'origine et que soient utilisées les piéces de rechange identiques ŕ celles spécifiées. Les composants de sécurité sont marqués

!

!

­ All ICs and many other semi-conductors are susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD). Careless handling during repair may reduce life drastically. When repairing, make sure that you are conneted with the same potential as the mass of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance. Keep components and tools on the same potential. ­ A set to be repaired should always be connected to the mains via a suitable isolating transformer. ­ Never replace any modules or any other parts while the set is switched on. ­ Use plastic instead of metal alignment tools. This in order to prelude short-circuit or to prevent a specific circuit from being rendered unstable.

Remarks
­ The direct voltages and oscillograms ought to be measured relative to the set mass. EXCEPTION At the power supply, the DC voltages and the oscillograms at the primary side are measured to LIVE GND. ­ The direct voltages and oscillograms mentioned in the diagrams ought to be measured with a colour bar signal and the picture carrier at 503.25 MHz (C25). ­ The oscillograms and direct voltages have been measured in RECORD or PLAY mode. ­ The semiconductors, which are mentioned in the circuit diagram and in the parts lists, are fully exchangeable per position with the semiconductors in the set, irrespective of the type designation of these semiconductors.

­ Tout les IC et beaucoup d'autres semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux décharger statiques (ESD). Leur longévité pourrait étre considérablement écourté par le fait qu'aucune précaution n'est prise ŕ leur manipulation. Lors de réparations s'assurer de bien étre relié au méme potential que la masse de l'appareil et enfiler le bracelet serti d'une résistance de sécurité. Veiller ŕ ce que les composants ainsi que les outils que I'on utilise soient également ŕ ce potentiel. ­ Toujours alimenter un appareil ŕ réparer ŕ travers un transfo d'isolement. ­ Ne jamais remplacer les modules ni d'autres composants quand I'appareil est sous tension. ­ Pour l'ajustage, utiliser des outils en plastique au lieu d'instruments métalliques. Ceci afin d'éviter les court-circuits et exclure I'instabilité dans certains circuits.

Observations
­ La mésure des tensions continues et des oscillogrammes doit se faire par rapport ŕ la terre de l'appareil. EXCEPTION Sur l'unité d'alimentation la tension continue et l'oscillogramme sont mesurés sur le côte primaire en Live GND. ­ La mésure des tensions continues et des oscillogrammes figurant sur le schéma doit se faire dans un signal de barre couleur porteuse image sur 503.25 MHz (C25). ­ Les oscillogrammes et tension sont mésurées en mode RECORD ou PLAY. ­ Les semi-conducteurs indiqués dans le schéma de principe et ŕ la liste des compostants, sont interchangeables par repčre sur ce chassis avec les semi-conducteurs de l'appareil quelle que soit la désignation de type donnée sur ces semiconducteurs.

Sicherheitshinweise

D

­ Die Sicherheitsvorschriften erfordern es, daß sich das Gerät nach der Reparatur in seinem originalen Zustand befindet und daß die zur Reparatur benutzten Ersatzteile mit den Originalersatzteilen identisch sind. Sicherheits-Bauteile sind mit der Markierung ! versehen ­ Alle IC's und Halbleiter sind empfindlich gegen elektrostatische Entladungen (ESD). Unvorschriftmässige Behandlung von Halbleitern im Reparaturfall kann zur Zerstörung dieser Bauteile oder zu einer drastischen Reduzierung der Lebensdauer führen. Sorgen Sie dafür, daß Sie sich im Reparaturfall über ein Armband mit Widerstand auf dem gleichen Potential, wie die Masse des Gerätes befinden. Alle Bauteile, Werkzeuge und Hilfsmittel sind auf das gleiche Potential zu legen. ­ Ein zu reparierendes Gerät ist immer über einen Trenntransformator an die Netzspannung anzuschließen. ­ Bei eingeschaltetem Gerät dürfen keine Module oder sonstige Einzelteile ausgetauscht werden. ­ Zum Abgleich sind ausschließlich Kunststoffwerkzeuge zu benutzen (keine Metallwerkzeuge verwenden). Dadurch wird vermieden, daß ein Kurzschluß entstehen kann oder eine Schaltung instabil wird.

!

­ Alle IC's en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn gevoelig voor elektrostatische ontladingen (ESD). Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen. Zorg ervoor, dat U tijdens reparatie via een polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het apparaat. Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op ditzelfde potentiaal. ­ Sluit een apparaat dat gerepareerd wordt altijd via een scheidingstransformator aan op de netspanning. ­ Verwissel nooit modules of andere onderdelen terwijl het apparaat is ingeschakeld. ­ Gebruik voor het afregelen plastic i.p.v metalen gereedschap. Dit om mogelijke kortsluiting te voorkomen of een bepaalde schakeling instabiel te maken.

Anmerkungen
­ Die Gleichspannung und Oszillogramme sind gegen Gerätemasse zu messen. AUSNAHME Beim Netzteil sind die Gleichspannungen und Oszillogramme auf der Primärseite gegen Live GND gemessen. ­ Die Gleichspannungen und Oszillogramme angeführt in den Schaltbildern sollen unter folgenden Bedingungen gemessen werden: Farbbalkensignal, Bildträger auf 503.25 MHz (C25) ­ Die Oszillogramme und Gleichspannungen sind in RECORD oder PLAY gemessen.

1. Switched-mode power supply PS (PS Part)
1.1 Technical data:
Mains voltage: 195-264 Vrms Maximum output: 15W / 40W (continuous / maximum output) Operating frequency: 40 kHz Efficiency: approx. 75 % at maximum output Six different direct voltages are supplied on the power supply outputs.

1.4 Start-up with Mains-on:
Following connection to the mains, the capacitor [2310] is loaded via the start-up resistor [3318] and a current source between pin 8 and pin 6 on the IC [7303]. Once the voltage on [2310] and therefore the supply voltage Vcc on the IC [7303] has reached approx. 13V, the IC starts up and issues pulses to its output on pin 5. These pulses are used to control the gate on the power transistor [7302] (see Fig.2). The frequency has a fixed setting in the IC (approx. 40 kHz). The current input on the IC is approx. 5 mA in normal mode. If Vcc drops to below approx. 10V (e.g. with power limitation) or if Vcc exceeds around 15V (interruption of the control loop), the output on the IC [7303, pin 5] is blocked. All output voltages on the power supply, and therefore also Vcc, decrease. Once Vcc has dropped to below approx. 6.5V, a new start-up cycle begins. (See also "Overload, Power Limitation, Burst Mode" section)

1.2 Functional principle:
This power supply functions in a similar way to a blocking oscillator. In the supply voltage part [1300 to 2318], the mains voltage is rectified and buffered in the capacitor [2318]. From this direct voltage [2318] energy is transferred into the transformer [5301, pins 1-3] during the conductive phase of the switching transistor [7302] and is stored there as magnetic energy. This energy is passed to the secondary outputs on the power supply in the in the blocking phase of the switching transistor [7302]. With the switchon time of the switching transistor [7302], the energy transferred in every cycle is regulated in such a way that the output voltages remain constant regardless of changes in the load or input voltages. The power transistor is activated using the integrated switch [7303] Fig.1.

1.5 Normal mode:
With the power supply in normal mode, the periodic sequences in the circuit are divided primarily into the conductive and blocking phase of the switching transistor [7302]. During the conductive phase of the switching transistor [7302], current flows from the rectified mains voltage to the capacitor [2318] through the primary coil on the transformer [5301, pins 1-3], the transistor [7302] and resistors [3314, 3331] to earth (see Fig.1). The positive voltage on pin 1 of the transformer [5301] can be assumed to be constant for a switching cycle. The current in the primary coil on the transformer [5301] increases linearly in the pattern of U=L*di/dt. A magnetic field representing a certain volume of the primary current is formed inside the transformer. In this phase, the voltages on the secondary coils are polarised in such a way that the diodes [6300, 6301, 6306, 6308 and 6309] block. From the controller on [7301], a current is supplied to the CTRL input on the IC [pin 3, 7303] via optocoupler [7300]. Once the switch-on time for the switching transistor [7302] has been reached, which corresponds to the current supplied on the CTRL input, the switching transistor is switched off. Once the switching transistor has been switched off, the blocking phase begins. No more energy will be transferred into the transformer. The inductivity of the transformer will still attempt to maintain the current which has flowed through it (U=L*di/dt) at a constant level. As the primary current circuit is interrupted by the shut-off switching transistor [7302], the current will flow through the secondary coils.

1.3 Supply voltage part
The supply voltage part extends from the mains socket [1300] to the capacitor [2318]. Using the diodes [6310, 6311, 6312 and 6313] the a.c. supply voltage is rectified and buffered using the capacitor [2318]. The line reactor [5305] and capacitor [2316] create a filter to keep interference arising in the power supply away from the mains. Components [1302], [3326] and [3323] protect the power supply against short-term overvoltages in the mains, e.g. caused by indirect effects from lightning.

The polarity of the voltages on the transformer is reversed, which means that the diodes [6300, 6301, 6306, 6308 and 6309] become conductive and current flows into the capacitors [2301, 2305, 2309, 2311 and 2312] and the load. This current is also ramp-shaped (di/ dt negative, therefore decreasing). The control adjustment for the switched-mode power supply is made by changing the conductive phase of the switching transistor (see Fig.2), so that either more or less energy is transferred from the rectified mains voltage to [2318] in the transformer. The control information is provided by the control element [7301]. This element compares the 5V output voltage via the voltage dividers [3300, 3306, 3336] with an internal 2.5V reference voltage. The output voltage from [7301] passes via an optocoupler [7300] (for the metallic isolation of the primary and secondary parts) as the current value to pin 3 on the IC [7303]. The switch-on time for the switching transistor [7302] is inversely proportional to the value of this current.

2. Operating unit DC (DC part)
The microcontroller TMP93CT76F [7899-A] is a 16 bit microcontroller fitted with 128Kb ROM and 2.5Kb RAM. It is the core element of the operating unit, fulfilling the following tasks with the respective functional groups: · · · · · · Integrated VFD driver Timer Evaluation of the keyboard matrix Decoding the remote control commands from the infra-red receiver pos. 6170 Activation of the display Back-up mode

1.6 Overload, power limitation, burst mode:
With an increasing load on one or more power supply outputs, the switch-on time for the power transistor [7302] also increases, and thus also the peak value of the delta-shaped current through this power transistor. The equivalent voltage circuit for this current profile is passed from resistors [3314] and [3331] via [3312] and [3347] to pin 2 on the IC [7305]. If the voltage on pin 2 reaches 1V in one switching cycle, the conductive phase of the switching transistor is ended immediately. This check is made in each individual switching cycle. This process ensures that no more than approx. 48W can be taken out of the mains ( = power limitation ). If the power supply reaches the power limit, the output voltages and the supply voltage Vcc on pin 6 of the IC [7303] will be reduced following further loading. If Vcc is less than approx. 10V at any point during this process, the output on the IC [7303, pin 5] is blocked. All output voltages and Vcc are reduced. Once Vcc has dropped to below approx. 6.5V, a new start-up cycle begins. If the overload status or short-circuit remains, the power limitation will be activated immediately and the voltages will continue to be reduced, followed by another start-up attempt ( Burst Mode ). The amount of power taken up from the mains in burst mode is low.

In normal operation, the µP is operated in dual-clock mode, i.e. both quartzes [1170, 1171] oscillate. The time is derived from the slow quartz [1170] (32.768 kHz), and the fast quartz [1171] (16MHz) is used to generate the system clock frequency. In case of a mains failure (back-up mode) the µP is not reset, but instead the mains failure is registered by the IPOR interrupt 3 [7899-B] (pin 67) and the µP is moved into "Sleep mode" (low power consumption). The 16MHz quartz is turned off and the 32kHz quartz is then used as the clock and system clock frequency. The operating voltage for the AIO is buffered by a back-up cell [pos. 2174, 2172]. A diode [6171] prevents this gold capacity from discharging.

2.1 Evaluation of the keyboard matrix
There are 12 different keys. Each key function is assigned a fixed voltage value. This value is decoded using an analogue/digital (A/ D) port (7899-B, pin 56). Each mechanical key position on the printed board can adopt any key function via a coding resistor. Pressing keys simultaneously may lead to undesired functions! Schematic:

STOP/EJECT

1.7 Standby mode:
In the `Standby` operating mode on the device, the 'STBY` control line is used to shut off the output voltages 14AL, 5VA and 5VD on the power supply to minimise the amount of power taken up from the mains. The supply to the display heating can also be switched off using the `I1WSTBY` control line. The power supply itself will continue to function continuously in the `Standby` operating mode with a switching frequency of 40kHz.

2.2 IR receiver and signal evaluation
The IR receiver [6170] includes a selective, controlled amplifier in addition to a photo-diode. The photo-diode changes the received transmission (approx. 940nm) in electrical pulses, which are then amplified and demodulated. On the output of the IR receiver [7220] a level lift 0V/5V pulse sequence, which corresponds to the envelope curve of the received IR remote control command, can be measured. This pulse sequence is input into the controller for further signal evaluation via input IRR [7899-B, pin 46].

2.3 Activation and function of the VFD display
In principle, the VFD display [7170] is a tube triode in which the heating filaments in the tube serve as cathodes (F+,F-). The 7 grids (G1 - G7) are activated via PC2 - PC7, PD0 on the controller, and the 16 anodes (P1 - P16) are controlled via ports PE0 - PE7, PF0 PF7, PC0, PC1 on the controller, each with a positive potential compared to the cathode. The grids and anodes (digits and symbols to be displayed) are activated in the time-multiplex procedure, voltage lift 5V/-18V. A dimmer function is generated using pulse-width modulation of the grid control signals. At maximum display brightness, the pulse width for each grid is 2.16 ms. It can be reduced, controlled using software, which reduces the visual brightness of the VFD display accordingly. A digit or symbol is only illuminated if the corresponding anode and the surrounding grid are switched simultaneously to 5V for a certain time within a scanning period. The electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated by the positively charged grid and hit the luminous layer of the anode which is also positively charged.

During the remainder of the scanning period, the corresponding grid and parts of the anode are at -18V, due to the internal pulldown resistors in the controller. This potential is still lower than the average cathode potential of approx. -15V, prevents the acceleration of electrons, thus causing the relevant grid and anode segments to go dark. The heating direct voltage of the display (U = 3.5V) is supplied from the power supply via lines HELO or HEHI to pins F+ and F- to the VFD display. Resistors [3070] and [3071] restrict F- to approx. 15V.

3.3 CMT detection (video detection with CSYNC)
This has been extended due to identification problems with weak transmission signals and video signals not conforming to the STANDARD (common channel interference). The CSYNC line is supplied to the µP [7899-B] on pin 50. A hardware integration [7807,7808,7809] of the video pulse compensates the interference generated by the common channels and weak signals.

3.4 EE-PROM
The EE-PROM [7818] is a non-volatile memory which can be erased and written to electrically. (Data remains even if the operating voltage fails). Data specific to the device such as the X distance, head changeover position, preset stations, optional bytes etc. is stored in the EE-PROM [7818]. The data is accessed by the µP via the I˛C bus.

3. Central Control AIO (AIO part)
The microcontroller (µC) TMP93CT76F [7899-B] includes the following functions: · PWM outputs · A/D converters · Composite sync input · Special servo inputs for VCR functions · I˛C-BUS interface · Shuttle evaluation

3.5 Easy link (P50)
For the communication between the TV set, video recorder and the peripheral devices, a bi-directional single-wire bus is used, which runs via pin 10 to scart socket 1. The output signal is generated on pin 84 of the µC [7899-B], pin 68 is the signal input.

3.6 Shuttle:
The shuttle is connected to the motherboard on plug pos.1982. It is a binary coded rotary switch with a rotation angle of +/- 70 degrees and 16 switch positions. These are input and evaluated via four lines (shuttle b1 ­ shuttle b4) to the input ports P24 ­ P27 [7899B pins 2-5].

3.7 Satmouse
For activating a sat-receiver via an external infrared electronic transmission unit (Satmouse) a bi-directional data line, a shortcircuit proof +5V and earth are provided via a 3-pin 3.5mm jack [1941]. The +5V is limited to approx. 140 mA using a current limiting switch [7812 and peripherals].

4. Deck electronics DE (DE part)
The deck interface IC MP63100FP [7463] contains the following functional groups: · · · · · · CTL stage (tape synchronisation) Sensor interface Power on reset Head drum motor driver Loading motor driver Capstan motor control

4.1 CTL stage 3.1 Analogue interface to the µC:
The following analogue levels are supplied to the µC's internal analogue/digital (A/D) converter: · · · · · · · TAE/TAS TRIV TRIA AGC AFC 8SC1/2 Key-in Tape End / Tape Start Detection Tracking Information Video Tracking Information Audio Automatic Gain Control Automatic Frequency Control Pin 8 Scart1 or Scart2 switching voltage Keypad evaluation The IC M63100FP [7463] contains a read/write stage for the CTL track with the option of overwriting an existing CTL track without any interference. The playback stage is fitted with a "digital" fivestage AGC. This logic circuit identifies the size of the output signal supplied by the CTL head, and then selects the best amplification ratio in the playback stage using comparators. The CTL head voltage can therefore vary greatly, if Vmax / Vmin is great. The slowest tape speed is in LP mode. The fastest speed is adjusted during rewind. To ensure that the duty cycle in the tape sync is always reproduced correctly in the conditions mentioned above (important for detecting VISS marks), the amplifier must not be overdriven. The five-stage AGC alone cannot cover the large dynamic range of the input voltage. The amplifier is therefore also equipped with a low pass characteristic (fg = 3kHz typ.; internal).

3.2 Tape end - LED control :
The LED current is switched using transistor [7804]. The ON time is approx. 1 msec and the OFF time approx. 12 msec during playback and 1msec to 5.5msec during the winding functions. The LED current is typically 150 mA. In order to prevent interference from the relatively high pulsed current `spreading' through the entire unit, the LED is fed from the 14VM1, and filtered by 2 resistors [3800, 3805] with 10R each and a 220µF electrolytic capacitor [2803].

GB

2-12
In parallel with the CTL head is the RC cell comprising capacitor [2479] and resistor [3471]. The capacitor [2479], together with the CTL head inductivity, causes a resonance step-up at around 10 kHz and the resistor [3471] suppresses this step-up. This creates an aperiodic transient response in the resonance. Beyond the resonance frequency, there is an adjustment in terms of a steep fall in the frequency transmission characteristic. This effectively suppresses high-frequency pick-ups. The CTL head signal amplitude in standard play is around 1mVp (typ.) which means that the amplification for the playback amplifier must be correspondingly high. To avoid offset problems, a 100 µF electrolytic capacitor [2490] is fitted in the negative feedback branch for DC decoupling. The polarity of the playback amplifier can be changed using the Video Index Search System (VISS) voltage. This is the only way in which the µP can write a VISS mark on the tape without spikes. The Write/Read (W/R) signal is used to switch over between record and playback: W = "H", R = "L".

4.4 Interface to the head drum motor driver part
The head drum control voltage (speed and phase control information) is output via a µP-output (7899-B pin 35; PWM 14-bit). This pulse-wide modulated signal is fed to the motor driver IC M63100FP [7463 pin 11] and integrated with the capacitor [2469]. This IC already has a completely integrated `start-up' circuit fitted. For the commutation, the head drum motor driver uses the e.m.f. on the non-current carrying motor coil (transformer principle). The motor speed is also discharged from there at the same time. The phase of the head disc is discharged from a position coil. The speed and phase are multiplexed into one signal [7463 pin 6] and output, which means that the falling edge of the signal is available with a positive edge for the speed (FG/450Hz) and at 25Hz for the position pulse (PG). The motor driver M63100FP [7463] is connected to the head drum motor on the motherboard using plug [1948]. · · DRUM is the speed-phase control signal. The resolution is 14 bit. PG/FG is the combined POS/tachometer signal from the M63100FP [7463].

4.2 Power on reset (POR) generator
The POR generator contained in the M63100FP [7463] requires only one external capacitor [2477], which specifies the length of the POR pulse. For 33 nF, tPOR is approx. 30ms. The response threshold of the reset circuit is between 4.5 and 4.8 V. Supply fluctuations which are shorter than tPOR/100 area and which do not fall below 4.0 V, do not trigger the POR. The µP is reset using the inverted POR.

4.5 Interface to the loading motor driver part:
The loading motor driver part is constructed for use as a bridged dual power operations amplifier (OPAMP). It can supply max. +/0.8A output current. The output current is limited to approx. 0.7A by the internal resistance of the loading motor (18 Ohm typ.) (start-up or motor is blocked). B
