D52WLCD SAFETY

PRODUCT SAFETY SERVICING GUIDELINES FOR AUDIO-VIDEO PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

This manual was prepared for use only by properly trained audio-video service

technicians.

When servicing this product, under no circumstances should the original

design be modified or altered without permission from Zenith Electronics

Corporation. All components should be replaced only with types identical to

those in the original circuit and their physical location, wiring and lead dress

must conform to original layout upon completion of repairs.

Special components are also used to prevent shock and fire hazard. These

components are indicated by the letter “x” included in their component

designators and are required to maintain safe performance. No deviations are

allowed without prior approval by Zenith Electronics Corporation.

Circuit diagrams may occasionally differ from the actual circuit used. This way,

implementation of the latest safety and performance improvement changes into

the set is not delayed until the new service literature is printed.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify this product in any way. Never perform

customized installations without manufacturer’s approval. Unauthorized

modifications will not only void the warranty, but may lead to property damage

or user injury.

Service work should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with

these safety checks and servicing guidelines.

GRAPHIC SYMBOLS

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended

to alert the service personnel to important safety information in

the service literature.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the service personnel to the presence

of noninsulated “dangerous voltage” that may be of sufficient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The pictorial representation of a fuse and its rating within an

equilateral triangle is intended to convey to the service personnel

the following fuse replacement caution notice:

CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE,

REPLACE ALL FUSES WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING AS MARKED

NEAR EACH FUSE.

SERVICE INFORMATION

While servicing, use an isolation transformer for protection from AC line shock.

After the original service problem has been corrected, make a check of the

following:

FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD

1. Be sure that all components are positioned to avoid a possibility of

adjacent component shorts. This is especially important on items trans-

ported to and from the repair shop.

2. Verify that all protective devices such as insulators, barriers, covers,

shields, strain reliefs, power supply cords, and other hardware have been

reinstalled per the original design. Be sure that the safety purpose of the

polarized line plug has not been defeated.

3. Soldering must be inspected to discover possible cold solder joints, solder

splashes, or sharp solder points. Be certain to remove all loose foreign

particles.

4. Check for physical evidence of damage or deterioration to parts and compo-

nents, for frayed leads or damaged insulation (including the AC cord), and

replace if necessary.

5. No lead or component should touch a high current device or a resistor

rated at 1 watt or more. Lead tension around protruding metal surfaces

must be avoided.

6. After reassembly of the set, always perform an AC leakage test on all exposed

metallic parts of the cabinet (the channel selector knobs, antenna terminals,

handle and screws) to be sure that set is safe to operate without danger of

electrical shock. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER DURING THIS

TEST. Use an AC voltmeter having 5000 ohms per volt or more sensitivity in

the following manner: Connect a 1500 ohm, 10 watt resistor, paralleled by

a .15 mfd 150V AC type capacitor between a known good earth ground

water pipe, conduit, etc.) and the exposed metallic parts, one at a time.

Measure the AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohm resistor and

.15 mfd capacitor. Reverse the AC plug by using a non-polarized adaptor

and repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed metallic part. Voltage

measured must not exceed 0.75 volts RMS. This corresponds to 0.5 milliamp

AC. Any value exceeding this limit constitutes a potential shock hazard and

must be corrected immediately.

TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION

1. Never install any receiver in a closed-in recess, cubbyhole, or closely

fitting shelf space over, or close to, a heat duct, or in the path of heated

air flow.

2. Avoid conditions of high humidity such as: outdoor patio installations

where dew is a factor, near steam radiators where steam leakage is a factor,

etc.

3. Avoid placement where draperies may obstruct venting. The customer

should also avoid the use of decorative scarves or other coverings that

might obstruct ventilation.

4. Wall- and shelf-mounted installations using a commercial mounting kit

must follow the factory-approved mounting instructions. A product mounted

to a shelf or platform must retain its original feet (or the equivalent

thickness in spacers) to provide adequate air flow across the bottom. Bolts

or screws used for fasteners must not touch any parts or wiring. Perform

leakage tests on customized installations.

5. Caution customers against mounting a product on a sloping shelf or in a

tilted position, unless the receiver is properly secured.

6. A product on a roll-about cart should be stable in its mounting to the cart.

Caution the customer on the hazards of trying to roll a cart with small

casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.

7. Caution customers against using a cart or stand that has not been listed

by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for use with its specific model of

television receiver or generically approved for use with TVs of the same or

larger screen size.

8. Caution customers against using extension cords. Explain that a forest of

extensions, sprouting from a single outlet, can lead to disastrous

consequences to home and family.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equip-

ment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses

and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to

radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-

ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one

or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; Connect the equip-

ment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected; Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Dichroic mirrors are used to separate the light into red, green, and blue. A Dichroic mirror allows a certain wavelength

of light to pass through while refecting another.

Dichroic Red Reflection: Reflects red light and allows all other colors to pass through.

Dichroic Blue Transmission: Allows blue light to pass through and reflects others.

D52WLCD 17 OVERVIEW

THEORY

The three light beams pass through Condensing Lenses (C-Lens) which focus the light to match the size of the LCD panel.

Then the three light beams are joined together to form white light, which is then projected to the viewing screen.

D52WLCD 18 OVERVIEW

THEORY

LIQUID CRYSTALS

Matter has three distinct states; solid, liquid, and gas

(and what some consider a fourth state beyond gas,

plasma). However, there are states of matter that may

fall between these states. Liquid crystals fall between a

liquid and a solid. Basically they are crystals that hold

their orientation (shape) but can flow similar to liquids.

Their molecules point in the same direction with respect

to each other like in a solid, but they are free to change

position like a liquid. Think of a handful of pencils. They

all point the same direction and hold their shape at

rest, but (collectively) change shape when you squeeze

or let go of them.

There are different phases and types of liquid crystals

that perform differently. Small amounts of pressure, heat,

and/or electricity can cause liquid crystals to change in

some way. Therefore liquid crystals are used in many

different ways, not just for displays. Other uses are

thermometers, window coatings, soap, etc. The types

of liquid crystals used in LCDs are called Twisted Nematics.

As the name implies, they are twisted. By applying an

electrical current to them they will untwist.

LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL

Below is an exploded view of the Liquid Crystal Panel.

The key to an LCD's operation is the polarizers. The

polarizers only allow a certain wavelength of light to

pass through. The two polarizers are mounted at a 90

degree angle with respect to each other, which prevents

light from passing through. The liquid crystals are used

to twist the light beam 90 degrees and allow light to

pass through that pixel.

Each sub-pixel or cell (a red, green, and blue sub-pixel

equals one pixel) is controlled by a Thin Film Transistor

(TFT). This provides accurate control of each cell and

makes for an accurate picture. Some methods used in

the past that didn't involve a switch and current could

leak to surrounding cells resulting in a blurred image.

D52WLCD 19 OVERVIEW

THEORY

TERMINOLOGY

This section explains some of the terminology used with LCD RPTVs. Viewing angle, IPS (In-Plane Switching), Tuning

Standards, Peak Brightness, Contrast Ratio, Response Time, and DVI (Digital Video Interface).

VIEWING ANGLE

Viewing angle is the angle at which the display’s brightness begins to noticeably diminish. Viewing on the LCD RPTVs

is limited due to the Viewing Screen (see page 21).

IPS (IN-PLANE SWITCHING)

In-Plane Switching provides more control over

the Liquid Crystals in an LCD. It uses an electric

field to line up the Liquid Crystals in an arc

formation. This directs light out at angles which

improves the viewing angle.

PEAK BRIGHTNESS

Peak brightness is the maximum amount of brightness that a display can produce. It is often measured in candella per

square meter (cd/m2). The D60WLCD is rated at 680 cd/m

CONTRAST RATIO

Contrast Ratio is the ratio of a display’s

brightest white to its darkest black. One of the

limitations of LCDs has been contrast ratio. The

D60WLCD features a 200:1 contrast ratio.

Liquid Crystal

Electrode

Conventional TFT-LCD IPS Mode TFT-LCD

RESPONSE TIME

The speed at which the pixels can react or change. Slower response times can cause fast moving video to “ghost” or

distort because the scene changes faster than the LCD can display the video (especially with video games). The

response time of new LCDs isn't a factor for most uses, but older models can display noticeable ghosting due to slower

response times.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS

1. Main Part

1.1 CXA2069Q : Audio/Video Switch

(1) Description

The CXA2069Q is a 7-input, 3-output audio/video switch fea-

turing I 2 C bus compatibility for TVs. This IC has input pins

that are compatible with S2 protocol.

(2) Features

• 4 inputs that are compatible with S2 protocol

• Serial control with I 2 C bus

• 7 inputs, 3 outputs

• The desired inputs can be selected independently for each

of the 3 outputs

• Wide band video amplifier (20 MHz, –3 dB)

• Y/C MIX circuit

• Slave address can be changed (90H/92H)

• Audio muting from external pin

• High impedance maintained by I 2 C bus lines (SDA, SCL)

even when power is OFF

• Wide audio dynamic range (3 Vrms typ.)

(3) Description of Operation

The CXA2069Q is a TV I 2 C bus-compatible AV switch IC.

The video system and the stereo audio system

both have 7 inputs and 3 outputs each. 4 of the 7 video sys-

tem inputs support S2 and S protocols.

The desired inputs can be independently assigned to each

output (in the audio system, the left and right

channels are processed as one unit) by I 2 C bus control.

However, the same input is assigned to both the

video and audio system output 3.
