IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all Philips Consumer Electronics Company** Equipment. The service procedures recommended by Philips and described in this service manual are effective methods of performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used when and as recommended. It is important to note that this manual contains various CAUTIONS and NOTICES which should be carefully read in order to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper service methods may damage the equipment. It also is important to understand that these CAUTIONS and NOTICES ARE NOT EXHAUSTIVE. Philips could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service might be done, or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, Philips has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, a servicer who uses a service procedure or tool which is not recommended by Philips must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the equipment will be jeopardized by the service method selected. ** Hereafter throughout this manual, Philips Consumer Electronics Company will be referred to as Philips.

WARNING
Critical components having special safety characteristics are identified with a or "S" by the Ref. No. in the parts list and enclosed within a broken line* (where several critical components are grouped in one area) along with the safety symbol on the schematics or exploded views. Use of substitute replacement parts which do not have the same specified safety characteristics may create shock, fire, or other hazards. Under no circumstances should the original design be modified or altered without written permission from Philips. Philips assumes no liability, express or implied, arising out of any unauthorized modification of design. Servicer assumes all liability. * Broken Line ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____

FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD
1. Be sure all components are positioned in such a way as to avoid the possibility of adjacent component shorts. This is especially important on those chassis which are transported to and from the service shop. 2. Never release a repaired unit unless all protective devices such as insulators, barriers, covers, strain reliefs, and other hardware have been installed in accordance with the original design. 3. Soldering and wiring must be inspected to locate possible cold solder joints, solder splashes, sharp solder points, frayed leads, pinched leads, or damaged insulation (including the ac cord). Be certain to remove loose solder balls and all other loose foreign particles. 4. Check across-the-line components and other components for physical evidence of damage or deterioration and replace if necessary. Follow original layout, lead length, and dress. 5. No lead or component should touch a receiving tube or a resistor rated at 1 watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces or edges must be avoided. 6. Critical components having special safety characteristics are identified with an 'S' by the Ref. No. in the parts list and enclosed within a broken line* (where several critical components are grouped in one area) along with the safety symbol on the schematic diagrams and /or exploded views.

7. When servicing any unit, always use a separate isolation transformer for the chassis. Failure to use a separate isolation transformer may expose you to possible shock hazard, and may cause damage to servicing instruments. 8. Many electronic products use a polarized ac line cord (one wide pin on the plug). Defeating this safety feature may create a potential hazard to the servicer and the user. Extension cords which do not incorporate the polarizing feature should never be used. 9. After reassembly of the unit, always perform an ac leakage test or resistance test from the line cord to all exposed metal parts of the cabinet. Also, check all metal control shafts (with knobs removed), antenna terminals, handles, screws, etc., to be sure the unit may be safely operated without danger of electrical shock. * Broken line ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____

LEAKAGE CURRENT COLD CHECK
1. Unplug the ac line cord and connect a jumper between the two prongs of the plug. 2. Turn on the power switch. 3. Measure the resistance value between the jumpered ac plug and all exposed cabinet parts of the receiver, such as screw heads, antennas, and control shafts. When the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the reading should be between 1 megohm and 5.2 megohms. When the exposed metal does not have a return path to the chassis, the reading must be infinity. Remove the jumper from the ac line cord.

LEAKAGE CURRENT HOT CHECK
1. Do not use an isolation transformer for this test. Plug the completely reassembled receiver directly into the ac outlet. 2. Connect a 1.5k, 10W resistor paralleled by a 0.15uF. capacitor between each exposed metallic cabinet part and a good earth ground such as a water pipe, as shown below. 3. Use an ac voltmeter with at least 5000 ohms/volt sensitivity to measure the potential across the resistor. 4. The potential at any point should not exceed 0.75 volts. A leakage current tester may be used to make this test; leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA. If a measurement is outside of the specified limits, there is a possibility of shock hazard. The receiver should be repaired and rechecked before returning it to the customer. 5. Repeat the above procedure with the ac plug reversed. (Note: An ac adapter is necessary when a polarized plug is used. Do not defeat the polarizing feature of the plug.)

OR
With the instrument completely reassembled, plug the ac line cord directly into a 120Vac outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer during this test.) Use a leakage current tester or a metering system that complies with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C101.1 Leakage Current for Appliances and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1410, (50.7). With the instrument ac switch first in the on position and then in the off position, measure from a known earth ground (metal water pipe, conduit, etc.) to all exposed metal parts of the instrument (antennas, handle brackets, metal cabinet, screw heads, metallic overlays, control shafts, etc.), especially any exposed metal parts that offer an electrical return path to the chassis. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA. Reverse the instrument power cord plug in the outlet and repeat the test. See the graphic below.

TV SAFETY NOTES
SAFETY CHECKS
After the original service problem has been corrected, a complete safety check should be made. Be sure to check over the entire set, not just the areas where you have worked. Some previous servicer may have left an unsafe condition, which could be unknowingly passed on to your customer. Be sure to check all of the following: Fire and Shock Hazard Implosion X-Radiation Leakage Current Cold Check Leakage Current Hot Check Picture Tube Replacement Parts Replacement WARNING: Before removing the CRT anode cap, turn the unit OFF and short the HIGH VOLTAGE to the CRT DAG ground. SERVICE NOTE: The CRT DAG is not at chassis ground.

IMPLOSION
1. All picture tubes used in current model receivers are equipped with an integral implosion system. Care should always be used, and safety glasses worn, whenever handling any picture tube. Avoid scratching or otherwise damaging the picture tube during installation. 2. Use only replacement tubes specified by the manufacturer.

X-RADIATION
1. Be sure procedures and instructions to all your service personnel cover the subject of X-radiation. Potential sources of X-rays in TV receivers are the picture tube and the high voltage circuits. The basic precaution which must be exercised is to keep the high voltage at the factory recommended level. 2. To avoid possible exposure to X-radiation and electrical shock, only the manufacturer's specified anode connectors must be used. 3. It is essential that the service technician has an accurate HV meter available at all times. The calibration of this meter should be checked periodically against a reference standard. 4. When the HV circuitry is operating properly there is no possibility of an X-radiation problem. High voltage should always be kept at the manufacturer's rated value - no higher - for optimum performance. Every time a color set is serviced, the brightness should be run up and down while monitoring the HV with a meter to be certain that the HV is regulated correctly and does not exceed the specified value. We suggest that you and your technicians review test procedures so that HV and HV regulation are always checked as a standard servicing procedure, and the reason for this prudent routine is clearly understood by everyone. It is important to use an accurate and reliable HV meter. It is recommended that the HV reading be recorded on each customer's invoice, which will demonstrate a proper concern for the customer's safety.

5. When troubleshooting and making test measurements in a receiver with a problem of excessive high voltage, reduce the line voltage by means of a Variac to bring the HV into acceptable limits while troubleshooting. Do not operate the chassis longer than necessary to locate the cause of the excessive HV. 6. New picture tubes are specifically designed to withstand higher operating voltages without creating undesirable X-radiation. It is strongly recommended that any shop test fixture which is to be used with the new higher voltage chassis be equipped with one of the new type tubes designed for this service. Addition of a permanently connected HV meter to the shop test fixture is advisable. The CRT types used in these new sets should never be replaced with any other types, as this may result in excessive X-radiation. 7. It is essential to use the specified picture tube to avoid a possible X-radiation problem. 8. Most TV receivers contain some type of emergency "Hold Down" circuit to prevent HV from rising to excessive levels in the presence of a failure mode. These various circuits should be understood by all technicians servicing them, especially since many hold down circuits are inoperative as long as the receiver performs normally.

PICTURE TUBE REPLACEMENT
The primary source of X-radiation in this television receiver is the picture tube. The picture tube utilized in this chassis is specially constructed to limit X-radiation emissions. For continued Xradiation protection, the replacement tube must be the same type as the original, including suffix letter, or a Philips approved type.

PARTS REPLACEMENT
Many electrical and mechanical parts in Philips television sets have special safety related characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. The use of a substitute part which does not have the same safety characteristics as the Philips recommended replacement part shown in this service manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards.

PRODUCT SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR ALL PRODUCTS
CAUTION: Do not modify any circuit. Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with all of the following safety checks. Risk of potential hazards and injury to the user increases if safety checks are not adhered to. USE A SEPARATE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER FOR THIS UNIT WHEN SERVICING.

PREVENTION OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Some semiconductor solid state devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices, Examples of typical ES devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor "chip" components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD). 1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any ESD on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging ESD wrist strap, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. 2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ES devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly. 3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ES devices. 4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "antistatic (ESD protected)" can generate an electrical charge sufficient to damage ES devices. 5. Do not use Freon propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices. 6. Do not remove a replacement ES device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it (most replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive material). 7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ES device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed. CAUTION: Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit and observe all other safety precautions. 8. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ES devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your feet from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity (ESD) sufficient to damage an ES device.)

NOTE to CATV system Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to article 820-22 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

PRACTICAL SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
IT MAKES SENSE TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK. While some sources are expected to have a possible dangerous impact, others of quite high potential are of limited current and are sometimes held in less regard. ALWAYS RESPECT VOLTAGES. While some may not be dangerous in themselves, they can cause unexpected reactions ­ reactions that are best avoided. Before reaching into the powered color TV set, it is best to test the high voltage insulation. It is easy to do, and is just a good service precaution. BEFORE POWERING UP THE TV WITH THE BACK OFF (or on a test fixture), attach a clip lead to the CRT DAG ground and to a screwdriver blade that has a well insulated handle. After the TV is powered on and high voltage has developed, probe the anode lead with the blade, starting at the bottom of the High Voltage Transformer (flyback ­ IFT). Move the blade to within two inches of the connector of the CRT. IF THERE IS AN ARC, YOU FOUND IT THE EASY WAY, WITHOUT GETTING A SHOCK! If there is an arc to the screwdriver blade, replace the High Voltage Transformer or the lead, (if removable) whichever is causing the problem.

PICTURE TUBE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Note: a. b. c. Two (2) people are required to handle this picture tube. Safety Glasses must be worn during this procedure or whenever directly handling a picture tube. Take care in each step not to damage the CRT or the cabinet.

1. Remove the Chassis and the CRT Socket Board Module from the cabinet. 2. A furniture pad or blanket should be positioned on the floor to support only the CRT Face. This pad or blanket should be high enough to keep the CRT Face approximately 12 to 14 inches off the floor. 3. Using two people, place the cabinet in a front down position with the CRT Face on the pad or blanket. 4. Place padded blocks under each corner of the cabinet to keep it from rocking. 5. Remove the four screws, at the corners of the CRT. 6. With two people lowering the cabinet to the floor, leave the CRT elevated by the pad or blanket. Note: Take care not to grasp the neck of the CRT during this procedure, as it is extremely fragile. 7. Two (2) people may then lift the CRT from the cabinet. 8. Remove the degaussing coil from the defective CRT and mount on the replacement. Take care to maintain the exact shape and fit. To install the new CRT, reverse steps 1 to 7.

ComPair
Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further development of the European DST (special remote control transmitter for Service), which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair has three big advantages:
o

ComPair helps you to get an understanding on how to repair the chassis in a short time, by guiding you systematically through the repair procedures. ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I2 C level) and is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas. You do not have to know anything about I2 C commands yourself because ComPair takes care of this. ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can automatically communicate with the chassis (when the microprocessor is working) and all repair information is directly available. When ComPair is installed together with the Force electronic manual of the L01.1U AC chassis, schematics and CBAs are only a mouse-click away.

o

o

Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based faultfinding program and an interface box between PC and the product. The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial or RS232 cable. In case of the L01 chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service connector (connector 0267). The ComPair faultfinding program is able to determine the problem of the television set. ComPair can gather diagnostic information in two ways:
o

Automatic (by communication with the television): ComPair can automatically read the contents of the entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I2 C level. ComPair can access the I2 C bus of the television. ComPair can send and receive I2 C commands to the microprocessor of the television. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the I2 C busses of the television set. Manually (by asking questions to the servicer): Automatic diagnosis is only possible if the microprocessor of the television is working correctly, and only to a certain extent. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through the faultfinding tree by asking you questions (for example; Does the screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES / NO) and showing you examples (for example; Measure test-point I7 and click on the correct oscillogram you see on the oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (for example, text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next step in the faultfinding process.

o

By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive question and answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find most problems in a fast and effective way.

Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional features like:
o o o

Uploading or downloading of presets. Management of preset lists. If both ComPair and the Force electronic service manual are installed, all the schematics and CBAs of the television set are available by clicking on the appropriate hyperlink. Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568 (Schematic/Panel) at the family board.
§

o

Click on the 'Panel' hyperlink to automatically show the CBA with a highlighted capacitor C2568. Click on the 'Schematic' hyperlink to automatically show the electronic position of the highlighted capacitor.

§

How To Connect ComPair
51. First, install the ComPair Browser software on your PC (see the Quick Reference Card for installation instructions). 52. Connect the RS232 interface cable between a free serial (COM) port of your PC and the PC connector (marked with 'PC') of the ComPair interface. 53. Connect the AC power adapter to the supply connector (marked 'POWER 9V DC') on the ComPair interface. 54. Switch the ComPair interface 'off'. 55. Switch the television set 'off' (and remove the AC power). 56. Connect the ComPair interface cable between the connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface (marked 'I2 C') and the ComPair connector on the family board (connector 0267).

57. Plug the AC power adapter in the AC power outlet and switch the ComPair interface `on'. The green and red LEDs light up together. The red LED turns off after approximately 1 second, while the green LED remains lit. 58. Start the ComPair program and read the 'introduction' chapter.

Error Codes
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, it is displayed at the left side and all other errors shift one position to the right.

How To Read The Error Buffer
You can read the error buffer in 3 ways:
o

On screen via the SDAM (if you have a picture). Examples:
§ § §

ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0 : No errors detected ERROR: 6 0 0 0 0 : Error code 6 is the last and only detected error ERROR: 9 6 0 0 0 : Error code 6 was detected first and error code 9 is the last detected (newest) error

o

Via the blinking LED procedure (when you have no picture). See 'The Blinking LED Procedure'. Via ComPair.

o

How To Clear The Error Buffer
The error code buffer is cleared in the following cases:
o

By using the CLEAR command in the SDAM menu:
§

To enter SDAM, press the following key sequence on the remote control transmitter: '062596' directly followed by the 'MENU' button (do not allow the display to time out between entries while keying the sequence).

§

Make sure the menu item CLEAR is highlighted. Use the MENU UP/DOWN buttons, if necessary. Press the MENU RIGHT button to clear the error buffer. The text on the right side of the 'CLEAR' line will change from 'CLEAR?' to 'CLEARED'

§

o

If the contents of the error buffer have not changed for 50 hours, the error buffer resets automatically.

Note: If you exit SDAM by disconnecting the AC power from the television set, the error buffer is not reset.

Error Codes
In case of non-intermittent faults, write down the errors present in the error buffer and clear the error buffer before you begin the repair. This ensures that old error codes are no longer present. If possible, check the entire contents of the error buffer. In some situations, an error code is only the result of another error and not the actual cause of the problem (for example, a fault in the protection detection circuitry can also lead to a protection).

The Blinking LED Procedure
Using this procedure, you can make the contents of the error buffer visible via the front LED. This is especially useful when there is no picture. When the SDAM is entered, the LED will blink the contents of the error-buffer:
o o

1-14 short blinks (indicates error number 1-14), When all the error-codes are displayed, the sequence finishes with an 'on' LED blink of 1.5 seconds, The sequence starts again.

o

Example of error buffer: 12 9 6 0 0 After entering SDAM, the following occurs:
o o o o o o

1 long 'on' blink of 5 seconds to start the sequence, 12 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds, 9 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds, 6 short blinks followed by a pause of 1.5 seconds, 1 long 'on' blink of 1.5 seconds to finish the sequence, The sequence starts again at 12 short blinks.

Protections
If a fault situation is detected, an error code will be generated; and, if necessary, the television set will go into protection mode. Blinking of the red LED at a frequency of 3 Hz indicates the protection mode. In some error cases, the microprocessor does not put the set in protection mode. The error codes of the error buffer and the blinking LED procedure can be read via the Service Default Alignment Menu (SDAM), or via ComPair. To get a quick diagnosis the chassis has two service modes implemented:
o o

The Customer Service Mode (CSM). The Service Default Alignment Mode (SDAM).

For a detailed description, see the "Customer Service Mode" and "Service Default Alignment Mode" sections.

Repair Tips
Below some failure symptoms are given, followed by a repair tip.
o

Set is dead and makes hiccupping sound. 'Main Power Supply' is available. Hiccupping stops when L5561 is de-soldered, meaning that problem is in the 'Main Power Supply' line. No output voltages at LOT, no horizontal deflection. Reason: line transistor 7460 is defective. Set is dead, and makes no sound. Check power supply IC 7520. Result: voltage at pins 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are about 180 V and pin 8 is 0 V. The reason why the voltage on these pins is so high is that the output driver (pin 6) has an open load. That is why MOSFET 7521 is not able to switch. Reason: feedback resistor 3523 is defective. Caution : Be careful measuring the gate of 7521: circuitry is very high ohmic and can easily be damaged! Set is in hiccup mode and shuts down after 8 seconds. The blinking LED (set is in SDAM mode) indicates error 5. As it is unlikely that the microprocessor 'POR' and '+8V protection' happen at the same time, measure the '+8V' supply. If this voltage is missing, check transistor 7480. Set is in non-stop hiccup mode. Set is in over-current mode; check the secondary sensing (opto coupler 7515) and the 'Main Power Supply' voltage. Signal 'Stdby_con' must be logic low under normal operation conditions and goes to high (3.3 V) under standby and fault conditions. Set turns on, but without picture and sound. The screen shows snow, but OSD and other menus are okay. Blinking LED procedure indicates error 11, so problem is expected in the tuner (part reference number 1000). Check presence of supply voltages. 'Vlotaux+5V' voltages at pin 5 and 7 are okay; 'VT_supply' at pin 9 is missing. Conclusion: resistor 3460 is defective.

o

o

o

o

Set turns on, but with a half screen at the bottom. Sound is okay. Blinking LED (set is in SDAM mode) indicates error 3. Check 'Vlotaux+11V' and '+50V'. If they are okay, problem is expected in the vertical amplifier IC 7471. Use an oscilloscope to measure the waveform on pin 17 of the UOC. Also, measure the waveform at pin 1 of IC 7471. If the signal there is missing, a defective resistor R3244 caused the problem.
