Note:
Only new (not recently published) circuits are described here.
As this chassis does not contain any really new circuits, use the
FTL2.2x manual for the circuit descriptions.
9.1 Introduction
This chassis contains, compared to its predecessor, the
following new/changed features/components:
• Small Signal Board (SSB). Small layout changes and new
software to support the 720p feature.
• Dual Ambient Light inverter panels: To reduce the heat
dissipation and improve the efficiency, two separate CCFL
inverter panels are introduced in some models.
• Dimming Backlight : Feature to improve the contrast of
LCD displays. When there is no (or little) white content in
the picture, the LCD backlight will be dimmed to make the
black look darker. The picture content is measured by the
EPLD, which will adapt the PWM signal to the backlight
(see also diagrams B19E and B20).
The chassis consists of a full sized SSB, two Power Supplies
(Main and Stand-by), and some smaller panels for Audio, I/O,
and Control functions. The main functionalities are:
• LCD power supply: same as used in the FTL2.2x.
• SSB: Core TV functionalities, being TXT/control, video and
audio decoding, feature box, video featuring, and sync/
geometry control. The SSB is a high tech module (four
layer, 2 sides reflow technology, full SMC) with very high
component density and full shielding for EMC-reasons.
Despite this, it is designed in such a way, that repair on
component level is possible. To achieve this, attention was
paid to:
– Clearance around surface mounted ICs (for replacing).
– Detailed diagnostics and fault finding is possible via
ComPair.
– Software upgrading (only for main software) is possible
via ComPair.
