Display Electrodes are placed over the channels in the Horizontal direction. The Display is then covered by a glass plate. A voltage is applied to the Red, Green, and Blue Address Electrodes corresponding to the desired brightness and color of the displayed pixel.
POWER SUPPLY Power Supply Block (Figure 1) AC power for the Display is applied to the Line Conditioner panel. The Line Conditioner panel has the 5 volt Standby supply, On/Off Relays, and a Boost Regulator. The 5 volt Standby supply is present whenever power is applied to the unit.
Standby Power Supply (Figure 2) The Standby Power Supply produces a +5 Volt Standby and a +12 volt Standby supplies. This is a Pulse Width type switching power supply. Power is applied to this circuit when power is applied to the unit.

FIGURE 7 - VA SUPPLY OUTPUT Voltage from Pins 13 and 12 of 5102 are rectified by Bridge 6120 to produce the 65 volt VA supply. (Figure 7) Voltage from Pins 16 and 14 are rectified by Diodes 6121 and 6122 to produce the 17 volt supply.
Page 12
FIGURE 8 - VA REGULATION FEEDBACK The 65 volt supply is used as a reference voltage for the VA supply. (Figure 8) The VA supply is sampled by resistors 3124, 3125, and 3126 to produce a reference voltage to drive Shunt Regulator 7110.
Page 13
FIGURE 9 - 5.1 AND 8.6 VOLT SUPPLY BLOCK The 17 volt supply feeds the Switching Regulator 7201 which produces the 5.1 volt source. (Figure 9) The output of the Regulator also feeds the 8.6 volt regulator 7203. If the 5.1 volt source reaches 7.4 volts, Zener diode 6205 will conduct, switching SCR 7202 On.
Page 14
FIGURE 10 - SEQUENCER PANEL The VS and VA supplies are fed to the Sequencer panel. The Vrr signal from the Plasma Display is monitored by the Sequencer Panel. (Figure 10) If there is a problem on the Plasma Display, Vrr line will go Low.
Page 15
FIGURE 11 - OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION The VS and VA supplies are monitored for overvoltage. If the 65 volt VA supply goes High, the input to Shunt Regulator 7112 will go to 2.5 volts, causing 7112 to conduct. This turn on 7113 which will turn On SCR 7114 which will cause the Aa line go Low.
Page 16
FIGURE 12 - FAN PROTECTION CIRCUIT To prevent damage to the Plasma Display, the Fans are monitored to ensure that they are all working. (Figure 12) If any of the Fans should fail, the set will go into shutdown and error code will be generated by the Microprocessor.
SHUTDOWN As shown in Figure 3, the Shutdown circuit turns the set Off in the event of a failure which could damage the set. (Figure 13) If one of the Fans should fail, the Fan Fail Detect circuit will go High turning SCR 7315 On.

The RGB signals are fed to the PDP Limesco panel. (Figure 16) The signals are fed to a Black Clamping circuit and then to a Gamma Correction circuit. The H_White input controls the gain and Black Clamping level by switching an AGC circuit On or Off. Since the Plasma Display is a Linear display, Gamma must be corrected to Linear to obtain the correct brightness levels across the screen.

FIGURE 17 - DISPLAY AUDIO SWITCHING DISPLAY AUDIO CIRCUITS Audio switching for the Display is performed on the AVC panel. (Figure 17) VGA Audio is fed to Pins 1 and 30 of 7940 for audio from the E-Box or when using a Computer input. The Digital delays 7910 and 7920 are used when a European Pal Plus signal is used to ensure the correct lip sync.
Page 25
FIGURE 18 - AUDIO HIGH/LOW PASS FILTERS The Left and Right internal audio signals are then fed to High and Low pass filters located on the AVC panel. (Figure 18) The Left and Right audio signals are then fed to the Audio Amplifier panel via AVC89.
Page 26
FIGURE 19 - AUDIO AMPLIFIER Audio Amplifier (Figure 19) The Audio Amplifier is powered by a plus and minus 19 volts from the VS supply. These supplies are labeled +VSND and -VSND. There are four audio channels, Left High, Left Low, Right High, and Right Low.
Page 27
TO RIGHT SPEAKERS FIGURE 20 - AUDIO PROTECTION CIRCUITS To prevent damage to the speakers in the event of an Audio Amplifier or Power Supply failure, a protection circuit has been added. (Figure 20) This circuit guards against a voltage imbalance in the supplies or a dc voltage on the audio output lines.

TO - FROM VS-VA PANEL AC INPUT PRECONDITIONER PANEL (Figure 22) The Preconditioner panel provides Standby voltage and 380 volts dc to the VS-VA supplies. If there is no standby light on the unit, check the 5 volt standby voltage on PR08 Pin 6. When the On/Off button is pressed, the +5VSTBY voltage on PR08 Pin 5 should appear.
Page 30
TO AVC PANEL FIGURE 23 - SWITCH AND LED PANEL SWITCH AND LED PANEL (Figure 23) The Switch panel switches the panel from an Off mode to a Standby mode. Once the set is in the Standby Mode, it can be operated with the Remote Control. The +5VSTBY is switched to the operating circuits of the set via the +5VSTBY-SW line.
Page 31
FIGURE 24 - VS-VA SUPPLY WIRING INTERCONNECT VS-VA SUPPLY (Figure 24) If the Standby LED is On, check the Standby line on Pin 10 of FD04. This line should go Low when the set is turned On. If it does not go Low, the problem is on the AVC or Microprocessor panel. If this line goes Low, the 180 and 65 volt supplies should come On.
Page 32
FIGURE 25 - SEQUENCER PANEL SEQUENCER PANEL (Figure 25) The Sequencer panel connects the VS-VA supply panel to the Plasma Display Panel. It also switches the VA to the Display Off if there is a problem on the Vrr line. When the set is turned On the Vrr line should go to approximately 3 volts.
Page 34
AV CONTROL PANEL (Figure 26) The AV Control Panel provides Video processing and switching, Audio processing and switching and interface for the Microprocessor. RGB from the E-Box or computer is input on AVC32 and is output on AVC36. The Microprocessor is connected to the AV Control panel on 7401. Output to the PDP Limesco panel is on connector AVC02.

FTV1.9 E-BOX The E-Box is designed to work with the Display panel. However, for troubleshooting, the E-Box can be connected to a Computer monitor. The E-box has three composite video inputs and one antenna input. (Figure 26) On AV3, it also has a European Scart input.
Page 46
FIGURE 32 - HD INTERFACE BLOCK The E-Box is capable of accepting a 1080i HD Component input signal. (Figure 32) The Y Pr Pb HD Component input signal is amplified and sent to a YUV to RGB matrix. The RGB signal is then fed to a switch which is enabled by the OUTPUT ENABLE line.
E-BOX VIDEO SIGNAL FLOW (Figure 33) Video from the Tuner, Front Jack panel, and YUV panel is fed to the Global I/O Panel (Jack panel). The Global I/O panel selects between the Tuner, Front Jack panel, YUV panel, or AV inputs on the I/O panel.
