LC-5X GENERIC POWER SUPPLY SHUTDOWN EXPLANATION


GENERIC POWER SUPPLY SHUTDOWN INFORMATION: The Protect Circuit has been broken down into 4 distinct Sections. The input/outputs are identified by letters in circles (A) ~ (F). These Circuits are involved in the Shutdown inputs which shuts off the Power Supply in the LC-5X Chassis. UNDERSTANDING SYMBOLS ON THE DIAGRAMS: (Sheet 13) In the case of the LC-58 Chassis, the Schematics are shown between pages 129 ~ 151. This represents 23 individual pages within the Service Manual PA-0210. To help identify the location of particular drawings, you will notice comments like Sheet 13. In this case, the diagram is taken from the 13th page of the Schematics shown in the Service Manual . (17) On the Power Supply Shutdown circuit diagrams you will notice small number at different locations along the shutdown path. The small numbers represent the number of shutdown events that are possible at this point in the circuit. As the lines continue, the numbers will grow and they are cumulative. To help with Inputs and Outputs from the distinct Sections of the drawings, Symbols as shown on the left are used. This will help the Technician navigate between drawings more easily.

GENERIC SHUTDOWN CIRCUITS EXPLAINED: The following circuits are commonly used in Hitachi LCD product and relate to the drawings used for Shutdown: VOLTAGE TOO HIGH DETECTION (See Figure 1) This circuit is the Voltage Too High Detection circuit. In the example shown in Figure 1, the zener diode Z01 is connected to a voltage divider R01 and R02. If the voltage source rises too high, the voltage at the divider center point will rise as well and trigger or fire the zener diode which produces a Shutdown signal through D02 and on to the appropriate circuit.

Any Power Supply Z01 R01 R02 D02

Voltage Too High Detector Shutdown Signal

Figure 1 VOLTAGE LOSS or SHORT DETECTION (See Figure 2) One circuit used is the Voltage Loss or Short Detection circuit. This is a very simple circuit that detects a loss of a particular power supply and supplies a Pull-Down path for the base of a PNP transistor Q1. This circuit consist of a diode connected by its cathode to a positive B+ power supply. Under normal conditions, the diode is reversed biases, which keeps the base of Q1 pulled up, forcing it OFF. However, if there is a short or excessive load on the B+ line thats being monitored, the diode in effect will have a LOW on its cathode, turning it ON. This will allow a current path for the base bias of Q1, which will turn it ON and generates a Shutdown Signal.

LC-5X GENERIC POWER SUPPLY SHUTDOWN EXPLANATION


GENERAL INFORMATION: This explains the Overall Power Supply Shutdown Circuits: Which turns off the Relay Drivers Q942, Q943 and Q944. There are Four Relays which are activated when Power 1 and Power 3 go high. These Relays are all protected (turned off) by the 17 possible shutdown inputs.

RELAY S901 Controlled by Power 3 to Transistor Q942: This relay supplies AC to Relay S902 and S903 explained below. RELAY S902 Controlled by Power 1 to Transistor Q943: This relay supplies AC to the Signal Power supply Bridge Rectifier D902. RELAY S903 Controlled by Power 3 to Transistor Q944: This relay supplies AC to the Lamp Power PWB. RELAY S904 Controlled by Power 3 to Transistor Q944: This relay supplies B+ to the Audio Circuit.

Q980 and Q981 Relay Inhibit Activation. (SHUTDOWN) called COMMON ACTION CIRCUIT. All 17 Shutdown events will cause the above mentioned relays to turn off. This action will stop all secondary power supplies. See the LC-5X Protect (F In) Shutdown Circuit for details. If any of the shutdown circuits activate, the base of Q980 will go High. This turns on Q980 and removes the Power On Highs from PPT3 connector pins 6 and 2 called Power_1 and Power_3. With this, the main power supplies will STOP. Q981 operates as a latch. This prevents Q980 from turning off if the shutdown signal disappears after shutdown. SOME SHUTDOWN CIRCUITS ARE DEFEATED IN STANDBY MODE. (Set Off). When the set is turned off (called Stand By), some of the shutdown inputs are not active because the voltages being monitored are not on. SHUTDOWN INPUTS EXPLAINED: GENERAL INFORMATION CONTINUED: (See previous page for generic shutdown circuit details): All of the Power Supply Shutdown circuitry can be broken down into the following categories; Voltage Missing Detection or Short Detection Voltage Too High Detection Note: The Fan failure or Stopped alarms work the same as voltage too high detection. Normally when a fan is running, the pull-up resistor attached to the Fans B+ will not be allowed to pull up high due to the Fans internal Hall elements action when the Fan is rotating. If the fan stops, the Pull-Up resistor will pull the shutdown signal Alarm up high. (See (B~E Out) Protect shutdown diagram). The Door open signal works the same. A mechanical switch is located in such a fashion that when the door is closed, the switch is activated. This in turn pulls the door alarm voltage low and will not allow an Alarm to be generated as long as the door is closed. (See (B~E Out) Protect shutdown diagram). Lamp Alarm. A mechanical switch is located in such a fashion that when the Lamp is installed, the switch is activated. This in turn pulls the door alarm voltage low and will not allow an Alarm to be generated as long as the Lamp is installed and the Lamp door is closed. (See (B~E Out) Protect shutdown diagram). Temp Sensor. The Temperature sensor is normally in a state of Low Ohms. This prevents the Pull Up resistor from generating a Temperature Alarm. If the Fan Duct gets too hot, the Temperature Sensor resistance goes up and the Temperature alarm is generated. (See (A Out) Protect shutdown diagram).

LC-5X THINGS YOUR SHOULD KNOW


(01) ATSC Reception problems: Important information to gather when encountering a customer with ATSC reception problems. Please gather all information listed below before calling for Technical Assistance. (See below for contact information). 1. Make sure we are dealing with ATSC reception issues only, please. 2. Model and serial number...By the way, we are placing ALL model and serial numbers on the front right hand side of the units. 3. Did the customer run auto programming? Please run auto programming again just in case. 4. Signal strength on this channel? Available through customer menu. 5. What kind of antenna are they using? Rabbit Ears? Roof antenna? Are they using antenna rotor? Cable? 6. What is the Software version? This is available through the customer menu. 7. What channel is having the problem? Digital channels are a main channel and a sub channel, always displayed as : 25-1 or 25-2 and 25-3, 25-4, etc,. Please ask for all sub channels available, sometimes there are more than one or two. 8. Do they know it's respective channel on analog format (NTSC)? Is the analog channel coming in ok? Just to give you an example: San Diego channel 8 NTSC is equal to channel 25-1 ATSC, when you do auto programming, you will see 8-1 on TV OSD, but you can also enter: 25-1 and you will also get to the same 8-1 digital channel. We all must be very familiar with this fact in order to see if we can select the channel directly, without the need to do auto programming. See www.transmitter.com for state by state listing of analog/digital equivalency table, their location and their power. 9. What is the stream reception format? You will see: 480i, 480p, 720p or 1080i on the upper section of the OSD when receiving. 10. What is the Channel content? Is this ABC, CBS, PBS? And station identification is needed, like WYCN TV Channel 5 or whatever. 11. Try to contacted the Local Station? Explain the problem to the engineer. They may be able to investigate and make some corrections. If you did speak to someone at the station, whom did you talk to? Name and phone number or e-mail address? 12. Local stations are starting to provide a feedback for their customers mostly through a web page....They always want to know if customer are receiving the Digital Channels and are always looking forward to get feedback. 13. Try PIP and make sure the PIP channel is also the same channel as the one they are trying to receive with Ant C. 14. Describe problem and if possible, send a picture/drawing or a video. 15. Is sound OK? 16. Customer name and phone numbers, please. Once this information is gathered, please contact Hitachi Technical support (see below) and provide all information gathered. Phone: 800-393-2369 (Authorized Servicers only) Phone: 619-591-5352 (Non-Authorized Servicers only) FAX: 619-482-8045 EMAIL: techsupport@hhea.hitachi.com

(02) Lead Free Solder beginning in 2004. 2004 product will use lead free solder (unleaded) to help preserve the environment. Please read these instructions before attempting any soldering work. Caution: Always wear safety glasses to prevent fumes or molten solder from getting into the eyes. Lead free solder can splatter at high temperatures (140 degrees F) . Lead free solder indicator Printed circuit boards using lead free solder are engraved with an "F". Properties of lead free solder The melting point of lead free solder is 104 ~ 122 degrees F. higher than leaded solder. Servicing solder Solder with an alloy composition of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu or Sn-0.7Cu is recommended. Although servicing with leaded solder is possible, there are a few precautions that have to be taken. (Not taking these precautions may cause the solder to not harden properly, and lead to consequent malfunctions.) Precautions when using leaded solder Remove all lead free solder from soldered joints when replacing components. If leaded solder should be added to existing lead free joints, mix in the leaded solder thoroughly after the lead free solder has been completely melted (do not apply the soldering iron without solder). Servicing soldering iron A soldering iron with a temperature setting capability (temperature control function) is recommended. The melting point of lead free solder is higher than leaded solder. Use a soldering iron that maintains a high stable temperature (large heat capacity), and that allows temperature adjustment according to the part being serviced, to avoid poor servicing performance. Recommended soldering iron: Soldering iron with temperature control function (temperature range: 320-450 degrees F . Recommended temperature range per part: Part Mounting (chips) on mounted PCB Mounting (chips) on empty PCB Chassis, metallic shield, etc. Soldering iron temperature 608 +/- 86 degrees F 716 +/- 86 degrees F 788 +/- 86 degrees F

(03) How to do a Soft Ware Upgrade on the ATSC Digital Module. The Software Upgrade requires a Multi Media Card which can be obtained by contacting 1-800-HITACHI. Once this Card arrives, there is a slot on the back called Upgrade Card. Push the MMC in until you hear a click, indicating the MMC is properly inserted. Navigate through the Customers Menu. (MENU SETUP UPGRADES). Scroll down and Highlight UPGRADE NOW and click the Select button on the remote. After the Upgrade has completed, unplug the set and wait for 5 seconds. Re-apply power and navigate back to the upgrades Menu and confirm the Software Version number has been updated. NOTE: Please check the Web Site to determine the Current Software Version number, as this number may change after printing of the document. (04) Lamp Wont Light. Use the Spark Gap process for determining if the Ballast is attempting to fire up the Lamp. Take a look at the picture below and the location of the Spark Gap. If the Spark Gap sparks when trying to turn on the set, it's almost a guarantee that the ballast is working OK and it's the Lamp that's defective. Also, the LEDs on the front of the LCD will flash in sequence Left to right as this process is attempting to light the Lamp. The front LEDs doesn't guarantee that the ballast is functioning correctly, but it does indicate the System Control process for lighting the Lamp is working.

(13) Lip Sync Issues Explained. KFMB Digital TV Newsletter Number 19 . January 19, 2003 READ MY LIPS
The HDTV forums have been abuzz about poor lip sync on several local HDTV channels. This is potentially a real nightmare for digital broadcasters, and I'll take a little time here to explain why, and what you can do about it. By definition, lip synchronization is another way of saying that the audio portion of a TV program matches in timing the video portion. In the good old days, this simply meant that the lower loop of film on the projector was not of the right size because your projector slipped a few sprockets and you would just reach over and adjust it during the next break. In about 1980, video synchronizers started showing up at TV stations that allowed us to use special effects with sources that were of a completely different timing, like remote news vehicles and networks from outside the station. Without those synchronizers, fading or special effects would just look like a mess on-air. However, they introduced a problem: they delayed video without delaying audio. This wasn't much of a problem for a single frame of delay because few people can detect it. But add a couple of frames for network processing and complex effects, and suddenly you have visible lip sync problems. Audio delay units were introduced, but few stations used them. KFMB used a monaural one until we went stereo in 1990. When the Audio Engineering Society (AES) defined digital audio in the early 1990s, they seemingly forgot to deal with synchronizing audio with video. There are no clues built into the AES audio stream for where a given audio frame is in time with respect to an accompanying video stream. There's no chance of having automatic lip sync. Fast-Forward to 1999 We open a new alldigital master control and disk drive servers to replace tape-delivered programming and commercials. Some sources have ways to adjust audio timing, and some don't. Now we have a digital transmitter and an analog one. When producing the news, we find that the more complex a video effect is, the more video delay we have, with real lip sync issues when carrying the video from several remote sites on the screen at the same time. We build a box that tells our new audio synchronizer/converter to delay a given amount depending on the combination of sources used. The box works well.

LC-5X THINGS YOUR SHOULD KNOW


In 2001, we open a new all-digital production control that fixes the variable delay problem. Life is good, but intermittent problems with lip sync still show up. Software bugs and corrupt data occasionally plague the station's digital encoder. Remote satellite sources still have lip sync issues at their source left for us to solve on the fly. In late 2002, our digital stream is added to the local cable companies. Since there's zero transmission loss, they use our on-air signal for a redistribution medium. However, they have to re-encode the signal in order to get the correct channel information, program guide, and 256-QAM modulation scheme, thereby introducing another potential source of lip sync problems. As digital viewers, you too can introduce your own problems: You are at the mercy of electronics designers as to how much audio or video delay they introduce. If you use analog cables to transfer audio between your receiver or set-top box (STB) and your audio amplifier/ processor, you have a digital-to-analog converter at the STB and an analog-to-digital converter at the processor/ amplifier, each introducing audio delay, whether a little or a lot. If you have acoustic effects chosen on your amplifier, you may introduce more delay. If your receiver/STB gets corrupt data or becomes otherwise confused, it can introduce delay by mistake. What's a Mother to Do? First of all, make sure you have a problem. We evaluate for lip sync watching for speech in which the on-camera person moves his or his lips to annunciate plosive "B" and "P" sounds. Be careful that you're not seeing it on a poorly dubbed single commercial or program. We're going to ask you to be forgiving when there may be a temporary problem with a hastily organized satellite remote news story--bad things happen in the field sometimes. If you encounter disturbing lip sync problems, answer a few questions before you ask for help: Does the problem exist on all over-the-air, cable, and satellite channels? If so, you surely have a local problem. Try resetting your receiver/STB and processor/amp by unplugging for a few seconds and then plugging back in. What is the source? Does the problem exist with all commercials, programs, and live news? Note this to help the person you complain to. When did the problem begin? Have you checked the enthusiast forums to see if others have the same problems? A nice website for San Diegans is http://hdtv.forsandiego.com. Have you reset your receiver and lip sync is still an issue on all channels? You should contact the cable company in order to determine whether the problem is with you, them, or their sources. Does the problem exist on only one channel? Call the provider (cable or DBS) or the source channel. Each will have to analyze the source and determine the source of the problem. At most stations, they have access to view their own sources, line output signal, analog air signal, digital air signal, and Time Warner cable analog and digital signals. We count on Cox Cable to evaluate our signals on their system.

(14) POD (CableCARD) no longer works after Factory Reset or Memory Initialize. The CableCARD will no longer work after replacing the Digital Module. The CableCARD will no longer work after replacing the Signal PWB with the Digital Module. The CableCARD must be re-Authorized ones the Digital Module has been replaced.
