VM78F 3-3 Deflection Section 1. I C -- autosync deflection controller is TDA4841. 2. The TDA4841 is a high performance and efficient solution for autosync monitors. All functions are controllable by I C bus. SDA and SCL signals coming from microprocessor feed to pin 19 and pin 18 to control all functions.

VM78F 3-3-6 G1, Blanking and Brightness 1. The vertical blanking signal comes from pin 16 of TDA4841. This pulse through Q405 amplified and converted into negative pulse and sent to G1 for vertical blanking. 2. In protection mode or an out-of- range situation HUNLOCK will send 5 V pulse to cutoff Q407, then G1 will go down to -150V.

VM78F 3-4-4 Auto Degaussing When S801 turns on, pin 14 of I701 will send a signal to Q802 and turns on RL801 for degaussing. After 4 seconds, it will turn off RL801 automatically. 3-4-5 PWM Control 1. Start Up The I801 (5S0765C) gets power from R807, R808, C830 and pin 3 voltage reaches 15 V for starting up.

VM78F 3-5 Video Amplifier Section 1. RGB signal inputs are terminated by R501, R531 and R561 then pass through the coupling capacitors C503, C533 and C563 to IC501 LM1267 preamplifier. 2. The amplifier RGB signals (0~3 Vpp) are adjusted by I C bus, I501 pin 23 is for clamp pulse which comes from pin 16 of TDA4841 to set up equal clamp level.
VM78F 4 Alignments and Adjustments This section of the service manual explains how to make permanent adjustments to the monitor settings. 4-1 General Adjustments 4-1-1 Adjustment Conditions a) Power Supply Apply AC 115 V or 220 V b) Warm-up Time The monitor must be powered on for 15 minutes before starting any alignment, but requires 30 minutes of warm-up time for convergence adjustment.
VM78F 4-2 Alignment Procedures 4-2-1 High Voltage Adjustment CONDITION Press key simultaneously when switching the power “On”. Display image : No video (86kHz Mode) PROCEDURE Connect DC meter to TP002 and adjust HV (icon) Obtain a DC voltage of -152 ± 0.2 V DC (Sampo FBT) for CPT CRT M41AGE93X76 (TCO).
