CRT AUTO BIAS AND AUTO BRIGHT CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION.
The beam current feedback circuit uses a PNP video
transistor
to direct most of the beam current to the

that it protects the video amplifiers from the destructive

The auto bias vertical sync comes from from a buffer circuit
for 15KHz operation. For 31KHz operation this signal is
generated by a delay counter. For both cases, the vertical
boost pulse is "and" connected with the Vertical Osc. O/S to
provide flicker free operation and laser beam protection. In
the case of vertical deflection failure, the loss of the boost signal
causes the auto bias vertical sync to stop, which stops the auto
bias function, and blanks the screen via the vertical blanking
circuit, thus providing for laser beam protection.

Refer to the waveforms at the bottom left of page 34
for the timing relationship. The vertical retrace boost
pulse, from the LA7838, (15KHz models) or the delayed
vertical sync pulse from the sync delay circuit (25 &
