  • Page 27 4. Start up Operation (4) When the TV is plugged in: AC plug voltage is applied to the power circuit (Filter, Rectifier, PFC, DC/DC converter). Then this power circuit outputs DC voltage to other DC/DC circuits. The DC/DC circuit produces the STB5V and 15V. The 15V is outputted to the SW.
  • Page 28 4. Start up Operation (5) The signal from the power micom turns on the switching transistor Q500. This allow F15V to be output to the DC/DC circuit on the A board. The F15V is supplied to IC8100, IC8101, IC8704 and IC8705. The voltages from these ICs are distributed to the different circuits where they’re used.

  • Page 31 5.SOS Detect Circuit Explanation (2) SOS Precautions When an abnormality occurs in the unit, the “SOS Detect” circuit is triggered and the TV shuts down. The power LED on the front panel flashes a pattern indicating the circuit that has failed. Cautions: If the power LED continues to blink even after the TV is unplugged, press and hold the power switch on the TV for a few seconds until the LED turns off.
