should cause glass breakage that may get people injured. Two people are needed in cooperation to move this module lest contingency takes place. The complete TV set is designed on the basis of full consideration of thermal dissipation by convection, with the round hole on the top for heat emission. To avoid overheat, please do not have any covering on the hole during normal operation and never put it in the place where the space is narrow and in bad ventilation.

B. Once it’s over with burnt-write, the cancel pushbutton will become flash. Switch off the main power and then to switch on the TV set again. Note: Do not switch the power or the set off in the course of burnt-writing. Otherwise it may result in the inability of the flash to burnt-write again.

Briefing on the operation principle of the plasma TV series PS-42D8 Plasma plane screen technology represents the state-of-the-art and it’s also the best choice for high quality picture and large purely place screen. Plasma display screen PDP is a display unit employing gas discharge. This screen uses plasma tube as its light emission component.

processor of PW181 is lower than that of PW1230. Therefore when displaying dual picture the main picture effect is better than that of sub-picture. The adjustment of brightness, contrast, definition and chroma is performed by N302. The decoding of CCD/V-CHIP in this channel is specially performed by 21 line decoder N301 Z86229.

SCALER is confirmed. 3.2. Block diagram of AD9887 is shown below Finally the video signals of different channels are sent respectively to V PORT and G PORT of main processing chip PW181 for processing. PW181 has such processing capabilities as “picture out of picture”, “picture in picture”, “multiple pictures”.
Page 18
PW181 is also the main CPU. Its program is stored in the externally connected flash N601. The software upgrading of RS-232 is actually the upgrading of the stored memory in N601 by PW181. The interface of menu is also produced by PW181. PW181 can automatically produce self check signal for trouble shooting.

a. If it’s one vertical unlit line, then COF has problem. b. If it’s a vertical entirely unlit block, then first check if the connection socket between COF and logic BUFFER has problem. If not, check if the connection socket between the logic BUFFER and the logic board is normal.
