TOSHIBA - DLP PROJECTION TV_ 46HM84_52HM84_52HMX84_62HMX84_ Video and Audio Signal Flow




     The 2004 DLP televisions are separated into two categories, one being the HM84 HD monitor series and the HM94 HD Integrated series. This will cover the basic design and troubleshooting of the audio and video section of the HM84 HD monitor series. This module is divided into three major areas. We will first discuss the specifications of the input signals and display. Then we will move into the overview and block diagrams of the Audio & Video signal flow. The last portion of this the module will cover troubleshooting the audio and video

NTSC Tuner

Receives the NTSC signal format (525 lines interlaced scanning) for consumer televisions in the United States. A typical NTSC tuner receives VHF channels 2 to 13, UHF channels 14 to 83, and Cable TV channels mid band A8 to A1 and A to I, super band J to W, hyper band AA to ZZ - AAA and BBB, and ultra band 65 to 94 and 100 to 125.

Composite Video

     Refers to a video signal where both the luminance component and the color component(s) are transmitted on a single wire or broadcast in a limited bandwidth. The luminance and color information must be separated before the picture can be displayed.

S-Video (also called Y/C)

     A video signal transmitted as two sub signals requiring two separate wires: luminance (technically referred to as Y) and color (C). Luminance is composed of black and white video signal and the sync signal. Chrominance is the color (modulated on a carrier) video signals.

Component Video

     Not to be confused with Composite video. A video signal transmitted as at least three separate components (sub signals) using separate analog component video referred as Y/Pb/Pr or Y/Cb/Cr. These are labeled as Color Stream inputs on the Rear A/V board. Component Video inputs are used for High Definition (HD) or Standard Definition (SD) signals.

Video and Audio Signal flow



     Note that the Rear A/V jack panel is a hub for most signal inputs, processing and switching. Knowing this, can trace signals to and from the Rear A/V jack panel to its input or output circuits. Additionally, when a problem with an input, output, or the Rear A/V jack panel itself is discovered, the power distribution can be investigated for possible supply problems. Then if no supply problems are discovered, the board at a fault can be repaired.

     This unit is, in some circuit areas, only serviceable to modular level. However it is sometimes an advantage to service non-difficult obvious trouble to component level and repair the problem rather than replace the entire circuit board. This becomes an important aspect if the unit is out of warranty. An interconnect diagram of the signal paths in this unit. Listed on this block are plug numbers, as they are listed on the board, and in the schematics, for both ends of the path.


Rear AV Board connections and components.



     All input sources are routed through the Rear A/V board. This is important to mention because in past PJTV models, the A/V switching IC, QV01, was located on the signal board. As shown in Figure 3, QV01 is located just above the jack panels. Sub-picture processing is done here as well by IC QY501 and QY100. QS01 located toward the lower right hand side, switches the audio selection for the inputs. One interesting area includes service ports used to access data and service protocols.

     Voltage requirements consist of a 9V source and two 5V sources. These voltages are supplied via connector BB70 through the IMA/tuner board. This should be noted since the Rear A/V is not directly connected with the power supply board. Looking at the left side of Figure 4, the input sources are shown with the corresponding connection, if applicable to that particular input source.  Composite and S-video sources are labeled E1, E2 and E3. Figure 4 illustrates the signal path through QV01. Sub picture composite video output at pin 51 is routed to QY100 for comb filtering. Sub picture (PIP or POP) Y/C and Y, Cb, Cr is routed directly to QY501 for signal processing of the sub picture. The output
from QY501 is a Y, Cb, Cr signal. Both the main and sub picture signals are routed through connector PV04 to the DBEP/Signal/G-Hyper Board.

     At the lower right, note the service port connections and plugs are not related to nor directly connected to any video or audio signal paths. This allows direct connection to the data chips located on the DBEP/Signal/G-Hyper Board.
