LC-37AD1E MAJOR IC INFORMATIONS (AVC system) ∫ IC2501 (IXA416WJ) IC for decoding audio signals. It serves as an S-IF audio signal decoder and an audio data selector. ∫ IC2510 (IXA385WJ) IC for controlling audio delay. LC-30/37AD1E uses a frame buffer to process video signals. This results in delay in outputting video signals.
