Colours not Correct or Unstable Picture
Check line 20 'TV System'. If a "strange" system pops up,
something has gone wrong during installation. Re-install the
channel.
Menu Text not Sharp Enough
1. Press 'Smart Picture' button on the RC-transmitter. In case
picture improves, decrease the contrast value. The new
value(s) are automatically stored for all TV channels.
2. Check line 8 'Contrast'. The value of line 8 is high (> 50).
Decrease the contrast value.

No Sound from Left and Right Speaker
Check line 6 'Volume'. The value is low. Increase the value of
'Volume'. The new value(s) are automatically stored (in
"personal" pre-set) for all TV channels.
Sound too Loud for Left and Right Speaker
Check line 6 'Volume'. The value is high. Decrease the value of
'LS Volume'. The new value(s) are automatically stored (in
"personal" pre-set) for all TV channels.

ComPair

Introduction
ComPair (Computer Aided Repair) is a service tool for Philips
Consumer Electronics products. ComPair is a further
development on the European DST (service remote control),
which allows faster and more accurate diagnostics. ComPair
has three big advantages:
•
ComPair helps you to quickly get an understanding on how
to repair the chassis in a short time by guiding you
systematically through the repair procedures.
•
ComPair allows very detailed diagnostics (on I
is therefore capable of accurately indicating problem areas.
You do not have to know anything about I
yourself because ComPair takes care of this.
•
ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can
automatically communicate with the chassis (when the
microprocessor is working) and all repair information is
directly available. When ComPair is installed together with
the Force/SearchMan electronic manual of the defective
chassis, schematics and PWBs are only a mouse click
away.

Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair interface box is connected to the PC via a serial
(or RS232) cable.
For this chassis, the ComPair interface box and the TV
communicate via a bi-directional service cable via the service
connector(s).
The ComPair fault finding program is able to determine the
problem of the defective television. ComPair can gather
diagnostic information in two ways:
•
Automatic (by communication with the television): ComPair
can automatically read out the contents of the entire error
buffer. Diagnosis is done on I
2
access the I
C/UART bus of the television. ComPair can
2
send and receive I
controller of the television. In this way, it is possible for
ComPair to communicate (read and write) to devices on
2
the I
C/UART busses of the TV-set.
•
Manually (by asking questions to you): Automatic
diagnosis is only possible if the micro controller of the
television is working correctly and only to a certain extend.

C/UART level. ComPair can
C/UART commands to the micro

When this is not the case, ComPair will guide you through
the fault finding tree by asking you questions (e.g. Does the
screen give a picture? Click on the correct answer: YES /
NO) and showing you examples (e.g. Measure test-point I7
and click on the correct oscillogram you see on the
oscilloscope). You can answer by clicking on a link (e.g.
text or a waveform picture) that will bring you to the next
step in the fault finding process.
By a combination of automatic diagnostics and an interactive
question / answer procedure, ComPair will enable you to find
most problems in a fast and effective way.
Beside fault finding, ComPair provides some additional
features like:
•
Up- or downloading of pre-sets.
•
Managing of pre-set lists.
•
Emulation of the (European) Dealer Service Tool (DST).
•
If both ComPair and Force/SearchMan (Electronic Service
Manual) are installed, all the schematics and the PWBs of
the set are available by clicking on the appropriate
hyperlink.
Example: Measure the DC-voltage on capacitor C2568
(Schematic/Panel) at the Mono-carrier.
–
Click on the "Panel" hyperlink to automatically show
the PWB with a highlighted capacitor C2568.
–
Click on the "Schematic" hyperlink to automatically
show the position of the highlighted capacitor.
