Philco PS2914 CRT TV How to enter the service mode, adjustment details, full schematic LA5-A Chassis using LA76818AM (Chroma, IF, Video jungle), QXXAVC479P (CPU)


The primary source of X-RADIATION in television receiver is the picture tube. The picture tube is specially constructed to limit X-RADIATION emissions. For continued X-RADIATION protection, the replacement tube must be the same type as the original including suffix letter. Excessive high voltage may produce potentially hazardous X - RADIATION. To avoid such hazards, the high voltage must be maintained within specified limit. Refer to this service manual, high voltage adjustment for specific high voltage limit. If high voltage exceeds specified limits, take necessary corrective action. Carefully follow the instructions for + B1 volt power supply adjustment, and high voltage check to maintain the high voltage within the specified limits.
IC802 (EEPROM) Replacement
When IC802 (EEPROM) is replaced, IC801 (CPU) will automatically write the initial reference data into IC802 for basic TV operation.  However, the bus data should be checked and some bus data should be set up before attempting the service adjustments.

4. Select several other channels and check horizontal width.
HIGH VOLTAGE CHECK
Note: +B (+130V) Voltage and Grayscale Adjustment must be completed before attempting High Voltage Check.
1. Connect high voltage voltmeter negative lead to ground, and connect + lead to anode of picture tube.
2. Tune receiver to an active channel and confirm TV is operating properly.
3. The high voltage must be 28.5KV ± 1KV and less than 32KV at 0 beam current (Brightness and contrast minimum setting).
Note: If the picture tube is replaced, check the high voltage. The horiz. width adjustment affects the high voltage. Therefore, re-check the high voltage.
Protection Circuit
This TV set has a built-in power supply protection circuit.
It is provided to protect the TV set in case of a power supply circuit malfunctions. When something abnormality occurs during TV reception, the TV set goes to the standby mode.
When an abnormality occurs during TV reception, it causes pin 27 of the CPU to go continually Low voltage for about one second. The CPU detects that this has occurred and outputs the signal from pin 31 to switch off the power supply lines.
Releasing the protective circuit and restoring power supply
To release the protective circuit and restore power supply, turn the power to the TV set OFF and then ON again via either the main power switch or the ON-OFF button on the remote control. This will work only if the power supply trouble was temporary. If there is permanent trouble such as a damaged circuit, power cannot be restored and the circuit will have to be repaired.
Purity and Convergence Adjustment
CAUTION: The Convergence and Purity adjustments have been made at the factory. Readjustment should be made only after picture tube or deflection yoke replacement, following the steps below:
PURITY ADJUSTMENT
1. Demagnetise the picture tube and receiver using an external degaussing coil. When replacing picture tube or deflection yoke, mount deflection yoke and purity-convergence magnets assembly properly, see figures 1 and 4.
2. Turn Red and Blue guns off and provide only Green raster.  Rotate Screen control to fully counterclockwise. Rotate Red and Blue Bias controls fully counterclockwise. Slowly rotate Green Bias control clockwise to produce Green raster.
3. Loosen the screw holding the Deflection Yoke and remove the 3 Rubber Wedges, and slide the Deflection Yoke fully forward.
4. Rotate and spread the Tabs of the two Purity Magnets to centre the vertical green belt in the picture screen. The Purity Magnets are also adjusted to obtain vertical centring of the raster.
5. Slowly slide the Deflection Yoke backward until a uniform green screen is obtained.
6. Check the purity of the red and blue screens for uniformity, turn off other colours to check this (use bias controls).  Readjust the yoke position if necessary until all screens are pure.
7. Adjust each Bias control and screen control to obtain white raster. Refer to Gray Scale Adjustment. If part of the picture screen is coloured, adjust the Deflection Yoke position forward or backward slightly.
8. Tighten the mounting screw of the Deflection Yoke. Adjust Convergence next.
CENTRE CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENT
1. Use a dot crosshatch pattern signal.
2. Turn Red and Blue guns on and turn off Green gun. Adjust the angle between the Tabs of the Four Pole Magnet 1 and 2, and superimpose the Red and Blue vertical lines in the centre area of the picture screen. Refer to figure.
3. Keeping the mutual angle of the Tabs of the Four Pole Magnet turn them together to superimpose the Blue and Red horizontal lines in the centre area of the picture screen. Refer to figure.
4. Turn Green gun on and adjust Six Pole Magnet 3 and 4 that the Green line superimposed on the Red/Blue lines.  This is the same procedure used in steps 2 and 3.
Refer to figure.
OUTER AREA CONVERGENCE ADJUSTMENT
Slightly loosen the screw holding the Deflection Yoke. Adjust the Deflection Yoke to converge the detail in the outer area (left side and right side) of the picture screen by orbital movement of the front of the Yoke, then secure the Deflection Yoke in appropriate position by putting the wedges as illustrated. Tighten screw holding the Deflection Yoke.
