Attention: This service manual is only for service personnel to take reference with. Before
servicing please read the following points carefully.

Safety precautions
1. Instructions
Be sure to switch off the power supply before replacing or welding any components or inserting/plugging in connection wire Anti static measures to be taken (throughout the entire production process!): a) Do not touch here and there by hand at will; b) Be sure to use anti static electric iron; c) Its a must for the welder to wear anti static gloves. Please refer to the detailed list before replacing components that have special safety requirements. Do not change the specs and type at will.

2. Points for attention in servicing of LCD

2.1 Screens are different from one model to another and therefore not interchangeable. Be sure to use the screen of the original model for replacement. 2.2 The operation voltage of LCD screen is 700-825V. Be sure to take proper measures in protecting yourself and the machine when testing the system in the course of normal operation or right after the power is switched off. Please do not touch the circuit or the metal part of the module that is in operation mode. Relevant operation is possible only one minute after the power is switched off. 2.3 Do not use any adapter that is not identical with the TV set. Otherwise it will cause fire or damage to the set. 2.4 Never operate the set or do any installation work in bad environment such as wet bathroom, laundry, kitchen, or nearby fire source, heating equipment and devices or exposure to sunlight etc. Otherwise bad effect will result. 2.5 If any foreign substance such as water, liquid, metal slices or other matters happens to fall into the module, be sure to cut the power off immediately and do not move anything on the module lest it should cause fire or electric shock due to contact with the high voltage or short circuit. 2.6 Should there be smoke, abnormal smell or sound from the module, please shut the power off at once. Likewise, if the screen is not working after the power is on or in the course of operation, the power must be cut off immediately and no more operation is allowed under the same condition. 2.7 Do not pull out or plug in the connection wire when the module is in operation or just after the power is off because in this case relatively high voltage still remains in the capacitor of the driving circuit. Please wait at least one minute before the pulling out or plugging in the connection wire. 2.8 When operating or installing LCD please dont subject the LCD components to bending, twisting or extrusion, collision lest mishap should result. 2.9 As most of the circuitry in LCD TV set is composed of CMOS integrated circuits, its necessary to pay attention to anti statics. Before servicing LCD TV make sure to take anti static measure and ensure full grounding for all the parts that have to be grounded. 2.10 There are lots of connection wires between parts behind the LCD screen. When servicing or moving the set please take care not to touch or scratch them. Once they are damaged the screen 1

would be unable to work and no way to get it repaired. 2.11 Special care must be taken in transporting or handling it. Exquisite shock vibration may lead to breakage of screen glass or damage to driving circuit. Therefore it must be packed in a strong case before the transportation or handling. 2.12 For the storage make sure to put it in a place where the environment can be controlled so as to prevent the temperature and humidity from exceeding the limits as specified in the manual. For prolonged storage, it is necessary to house it in an anti-moisture bag and put them altogether in one place. The ambient conditions are tabulated as follows:

Temperature Humidity

Scope for operation Scope for storage Scope for operation Scope for storage

0 ~ +50 oC -20 ~ +60 oC 20% ~ 85% 10% ~ 90%

2.13 Display of a fixed picture for a long time may result in appearance of picture residue on the screen, as commonly called ghost shadow. The extent of the residual picture varies with the maker of LCD screen. This phenomenon doesnt represent failure. This ghost shadow may remain in the picture for a period of time (several minutes). But when operating it please avoid displaying still picture in high brightness for a long time.

3. Points for attention during installation

3.1 The front panel of LCD screen is of glass. When installing it please make sure to put it in place. 3.2 For service or installation its necessary to use specified screw lest it should damage the screen. 3.3 Be sure to take anti dust measures. Any foreign substance that happens to fall down between the screen and the glass will affect the receiving and viewing effect 3.4 When dismantling or mounting the protective partition plate that is used for anti vibration and insulation please take care to keep it in intactness so as to avoid hidden trouble. 3.5 Be sure to protect the cabinet from damage or scratch during service, dismantling or mounting.

Working principle analysis of the unit

The unit has two MCU, the main MCU is PW218 (N601): it is used to control all the chips working status on the main board (including image processing, channel switch, sound processing, image display etc.), sub CPU, OSD, searching channels, image effect adjustment, buttons control, infrared remote control etc.; the sub CPU is ATMEGA8L (N606): it is used to control power supply, including standby and turning on the unit by using remote control etc.. The two MCU correlates with each other through pin 14 INT (interruption) of ATMEGA8L, pin 28 and 29 SDA, SCL. This unit adopts the integrative tuner (contains HF and IF amplifier circuits), antenna reception signal will be sent to tuner, the tuner is controlled by SDA, SCL of the MCU PW218(N601),selects appropriate channel to system switch, via HF and IF amplifier decoder, outputs video and sound signal. Video signal of tuner will be sent to decoder PW2300 (N201), while Audio signal of the tuner will then be sent to AV switch box M52797 (N400), the audio signal of AV1, AV2 and HD2 of the main board will also be sent to M52797 (N400) at the same time. The selected audio signal after switching will be sent to MSP3425, and then switching selection will be done towards the above audio signal together with the audio signal of VGA, HDMI and HD1. The two chips are controlled by PW218 (N601), after the above process the finally selected way will be sent to X300 earphone socket after under the control of volume, treble and bass, the earphone socket has the switching function, when earphone is plugged, sound will be sent to earphone amplifier LM4808, then sent back to earphone socket after power amplification. If earphone is unplugged, sound will be sent to sound amplifier TPA3008 to do amplification and then sent to speaker.

Image parts: Video signal of TUNER will be sent to AV switch M52797 (N400), Video signal of AV1 and AV2 will also be sent to M52797 (N400) at the same time, two groups of video output will be obtained after switching, one group of video output together with its audio output will be sent to AV_OUT terminal to treat as AV OUT. The other group of video output together with other video signals such as S-VIDEO, YPbPr1, YPbPr2 and VGA will be sent to PW2300 to do video decoding or AD transformation, then output 24bit digital RGB signal and some corresponding synchronous signals. Items such as 3D comb filter, channel switching, 5 lines Y/C separation and color decoding etc. are primarily done by PW2300. 24bit digital RGB signal and some corresponding synchronous signals outputted by PW2300 will then be sent to PW218 (N601). HDMI signal will also be sent to AD9398 (N101) to do decoding and output 24bit digital RGB signal as well as some corresponding synchronous signal, which will be sent to PW218 (N601). PW218 is a new generation chip of Pixelworks, which has ability to deal with images, 24bit digital RGB signal and some corresponding synchronous signals outputted by AD9398 and PW2300 will be sent to this chip to deal with images. The chip has functions such as converting from interleaved into line-by-line and image enhancement etc.. PW218 has SCALER function which can do format conversion towards different input formats so as to meet the format needs of the screen and finally output 24bit RGB signal. The interface standard of PDP screen is generally LVDS (low voltage differential signal), so PW218 send LVDS to drive the screen. PW218 is also the main CPU, its programs are stored in periphery device flash N701, and software upgrade through RS-232 interface is virtually upgrading the stored programs through PW218 towards N701. Chief functions: High definition 1080P LCD 16:9 wide screen; Support several kinds of HDTV wide voltage range, low standby power consumption (less than 1W); One group of D-SUB, S-VSH (Y/C), RS232, AVOUT, HEADPHONE, HDMI, two groups of YPbPr/YCbCr, AV.
