1. 2. 3. 4. Activate the SAM. Go to the WHITE TONE sub menu. Set the values of NORMAL RED, GREEN and BLUE to 40. Go, via the MENU key, to the normal user menu and set - CONTRAST to zero. - BRIGHTNESS to minimum (OSD just visible in a dark room). Return to the SAM via the MENU key. Connect the RF output of a pattern generator to the antenna input. Test pattern is a 'black' picture (blank screen on CRT without any OSD info). Set the channel of the oscilloscope to 50 V/div and the time base to 0.2 ms (external triggering on the vertical pulse). Ground the scope at the CRT panel and connect a 10:1 probe to one of the cathodes of the picture tube socket (see diagram B).

9. Measure the cut off pulse during first full line after the frame blanking (see Fig. 2). You will see two pulses, one being the cut off pulse and the other being the white drive pulse. Choose the one with the lowest value, this is the cut off pulse. 10. Select the cathode with the highest VDC value for the alignment. Adjust the Vcutoff of this gun with the SCREEN potentiometer (see Fig. 1) on the LOT to the correct value (see table below). 11. Restore BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST to normal (= 31).

Options are used to control the presence / absence of certain features and hardware.

How to change an Option Byte
An Option Byte represents a number of different options. Changing these bytes directly makes it possible to set all options very fast. All options are controlled via seven option bytes. Select the option byte (OB1.. OB7) with the MENU UP/DOWN keys, and enter the new value. Leaving the OPTION submenu saves changes in the Option Byte settings. Some changes will only take effect after the set has been switched OFF and ON with the AC power switch (cold start).

How to calculate the value of an Option Byte
Calculate an Option Byte value (OB1 .. OB7) in the following way: 1. Check the status of the single option bits (OP): are they enabled (1) or disabled (0). 2. When an option bit is enabled (1) it represents a certain value (see column 'Dec. value' in table below). When an option bit is disabled, its value is 0. 3. The total value of an Option Byte is formed by the sum of its eight option bits.

Service Modes, Error Codes And Fault Finding

Test Points
The chassis is equipped with test points printed on the circuit board assemblies. These test points refer to the functional blocks:

The numbering is in a logical sequence for diagnostics. Always start diagnosing within a functional block in the sequence of the relevant test points for that block. Perform measurements under the following conditions: S ervice Default Mode (when this mode is not present, set all controls to 50% and volume select channel 3). S ervice Default Mode. V ideo: color bar signal. A udio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.

Service Modes
Service Default Mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode (SAM) offer several features for the service technician, while the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication between dealer and customer. Note: Some L8 and M8 chassis sets use a software version that does not contain the Service Modes (see table). In this case, use the special Factory Mode Remote Control. This can be ordered by service code 4835 310 57511. Complete instructions are included. This remote control will place the TV in the Factory Mode and allow access to all adjustments that a normal Service Mode contains (including setting Option Bytes). Error codes will not be available. There is also the option of using ComPair, a hardware interface between a computer (see requirements) and the TV chassis. It offers the ability of structured trouble shooting, error code reading and software version readout for all L8 and M8 chassis. Requirements: To run ComPair on a computer (laptop or desktop) requires, as a minimum, a 486 processor, Windows 3.1 and a CD-ROM drive. A Pentium Processor and Windows 95/98 are also acceptable (see also ComPair

ComPair
Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further development on the European DST (service remote control), which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. Compare has three big advantages: omPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how to repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you C systematically through the repair procedures. omPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I2C level) and is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem C areas. You do not have to know anything about I 2 C commands yourself because ComPair takes care of this. omPair speeds up the repair time since it can automatically communicate with the chassis (when the C microprocessor is working) and all repair information is directly available. When ComPair is installed together with the SearchMan electronic manual of the defective chassis, schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click away.

Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based faultfinding program and an interface box between PC and the (defective)

product. The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial or RS232 cable. In case of the L8/M8 chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service connector (located on the Main panel, see Hardware alignments suffix D). The ComPair faultfinding program is able to determine the problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather diagnostic information in two ways: 1. Automatic (by communication with the television) ComPair can automatically read out the contents of the entire error buffer. Diagnosis is done on I 2 C level. ComPair can access the I 2 C bus of the television. ComPair can send and receive I 2 C commands to the micro controller of the television. In this way, it is possible for ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on the I 2 C busses of the TV-set. 2. Manually (by asking questions to you) Automatic diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the television is working correctly and only to a certain extend. When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through the faultfinding tree by asking you questions (e.g. Does the screen gives a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES / NO) and showing you examples (e.g. Measure test-point I7 and click on the correct oscillogram you see on the oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g. text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next step in the faultfinding process. By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive question / 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: U p- or downloading of presets. M anaging of preset lists. E mulation of the (European) Dealer Service Tool (DST). I f both ComPair and SearchMan (Electronic Service Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of the set are available by clicking on the appropriate hyperlink.

Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568 (Schematic/Panel) at the Monocarrier. Click on the 'Panel' hyperlink to automatically show the PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568. Click on the 'Schematic' hyperlink to automatically show the position of the highlighted capacitor.

How To Connect
1. First install the ComPair Browser software (see the Quick Reference Card for installation instructions). 2. 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. 3. Connect the AC power adapter to the supply connector (marked with 'POWER 9V DC') on the compare interface. 4. Switch the ComPair interface OFF. 5. Switch the television set OFF, remove the AC power. 6. Connect the ComPair interface cable between the connector on the rear side of the ComPair interface (marked with 'I 2 C') and the ComPair connector on the mono carrier (see Hardware alignments suffix D). 7. Plug the AC power adapter in the AC power outlet and switch on the interface. The green and red LEDs light up together. The red LED extinguishes after approx. 1 second while the green LED remains lit. 8. Start the ComPair program and read the introduction chapter.

Error Codes
Introduction
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 written at the left side and all other errors shift one position to the right. The error code buffer is cleared in the following cases: y activation of the CLEAR command in the SAM menu: B hen you exit SDM / SAM with the STANDBY command on the remote control (when leaving SDM / SAM, by W disconnecting the set from AC power, the error buffer is not reset). hen you transmit the command DIAGNOSE-99-OK with ComPair. W f the content of the error buffer has not changed for 50 hours, it resets automatically. I Examples: ERROR: 0 0 0 0 0: No errors detected. ERROR: 6 0 0 0 0: Error code 6 is the most recent and only detected error. ERROR: 9 6 0 0 0: Error code 6 was first detected and error code 9 is the most recent detected error. You can also make the contents of the error buffer visible via the blinking LED procedure (see The Blinking LED Procedure). This is especially useful when there is no picture.

Error Codes
In case of non-intermittent faults, clear the error buffer before you begin the repair. These to ensure 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 code and not the actual cause (e.g., a fault in the protection detection circuitry can also lead to a

protection).

The Blinking LED Procedure
Via 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 SDM is entered, the LED will blink the contents of the error-buffer. Error-codes 0 are shown as follows: 1 long blink of 750 ms (which is an indication of the decimal digit), a pause of 1.5 s, a short blinks (n = 1 - 9), n hen all the error-codes are displayed, the sequence finishes with a LED blink of 3 s, w he sequence starts again. t Example of error buffer: 12 9 6 0 0 After entering SDM: 1 long blink of 750 ms followed by a pause of 1.5 s, 2 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s, 9 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s, 6 short blinks followed by a pause of 3 s, 1 long blink of 3 s to finish the sequence, t he sequence starts again.

Protections
If a fault situation is detected an error code will be generated and if necessary the set will be put in the 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 the protection mode. The error codes of the error buffer can be read via the service menu (SAM), the blinking LED procedure or via ComPair. The DST diagnose functionality will force the set into the Service-standby, which is similar to the usual standby mode, however the microprocessor has to remain in normal operation completely. To get a quick diagnosis the chassis has three service modes implemented: he Customer Service Mode (CSM). T he Service Default Mode (SDM). Start-up of the set in a predefined way. T he Service Alignment Mode (SAM). Adjustment of the set via a menu and with the help of test patterns. T See for a detailed description Circuit description

Repair Tips
Below some failure symptoms are given, followed by a repair tip. et is dead and makes hiccuping sound S 'MainSupply' is available. Hiccupping stops when de-soldering L5561, meaning that problem is in the 'MainSupply' line. No output voltages at LOT, no horizontal deflection. Reason: line transistor 7460 is defective. et is dead, and makes no sound S 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 because 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 on the gate of 7521; circuitry is very high ohmic and can easily be damaged! et is in hiccup mode and shuts down after 8 s. S Blinking LED (set in SDM mode) indicates error 5. As it is unlikely that ?P 'POR' and '+8V protection' happen at the same time, measure the '+8V'. If this voltage is missing, check transistor 7480. et is non-stop in hiccup mode S Set is in over current mode; check the secondary sensing (opto coupler 7515) and the 'MainSupply' voltage. Signal 'Stdby_con' must be logic low under normal operation conditions and goes to high (3.3 V) under standby and fault conditions. et turns on, but without picture and sound S The screen shows snow, but OSD and other menus are okay. Blinking LED procedure indicates error 11, so problem is expected in the tuner (pos. 1000). Check presence of supply voltages. As 'Vlotaux+5V' at pin 5 and 7 are okay, 'VT_supply' at pin 9 is missing. Conclusion: resistor 3460 is defective. et turns on, but with a half screen at the bottom. S Sound is okay Blinking LED (set in SDM mode) indicates error 3. Check 'Vlotaux+11V' and '+50V'. If they are okay, problem is expected in the vertical amplifier IC 7471. Measure with a scope the waveform on pin 17 of the UOC. Measure also at pin 1 of IC 7471. If here the signal is missing, a defective resistor R3244 causes the problem.
