1-6. Circuit Description
Main Board
Video input block

The video input has two channels: Composite video and S-Video. The 2-channel inputs are sent directly to
the video processor, and converted to the digital data by the built-in AD converter of the video processor.
PC input block
There are two channels: Input A and Input B (HDMI). Each output is input to the video processor and the
video buffer. At the video processor, the signal is converted to the digital data by the built-in AD convert-
er. The signal input to the video buffer is output as a monitor out.
To Input A and Input B (HDMI), PC signals, component signals, and video GBR signals can be input.
Audio input block

There are three channels: Stereo mini jack input are two channels and Input B (HDMI). The L/R input is
synthesized internally into a monaural signal. The signal is synthesized by a resistance, so the output level
varies between the case where only one channel is input and the case where both channels are input. The
standard is prescribed under the condition where only one channel is input.
Monitor output block (PC)

The signals input to Input A and Input B (HDMI) are output. The signal of the channel that is selected
with the input toggle switch is output. No output is made if Video or S-Video is selected.
Monitor output block (Audio)

The signal input to the audio input is output. This output is variable with the volume control. If a cable is
connected to this connector, the output from the built-in speaker stops.
Video processor & System control block

PW-190 made by Pixelworks Inc. is used. This IC performs pixel number conversion, aspect conversion,
and OSD addition to the input signals. This IC also controls brightness, sharpness, chroma, and hue.
In addition, the built-in CPU controls the system.
Control target: Control panel, OSD display, lamp cover switch, filter door switch, LED control, serial
control
LCD timing generator (DSD) block

The IC for LCD panel made by Sony is used. This IC generates the timing for driving the LCD panel.
This uses the method that inverts the driving direction for each frame. In addition to timing generation,
this IC performs white balance adjustment, gamma adjustment, and color shading adjustment.
LCD driver block

The drive IC for LCD panel made by Sony is used. This drives the LCD panel in a 12-phase drive method
at the timing generated by the timing generator IC. The GBR and the circuit for three channels are
equipped.
1-12 (E) VPL-EW7

FAN control, Thermal sensor block
The IC with the built-in FAN control and thermal sensor function is used.
. FAN control
This detects the FG of the FAN, and controls the number of rotations. The number of rotations is set in
accordance with the internal temperature.
. Thermal sensor
The thermal sensor is placed at the lower part of the power board, and the internal temperature is mea-
sured.
Ballast drive block

This drives the ballast in synchronization with the input signal. The synchronous circuit is formed by the
microprocessor.
When the lamp mode is standard, ballast is driven in synchronization with the frequency 1.5 times higher
than that of the input signal. When the lamp mode is high, the ballast is driven in synchronization with the
input signal.
RS232C block
This is used to connect the PW-190 via the RS232C driver/receiver IC.
Sensor Board
The sensor boards include the thermal sensor board, lamp cover switch board, filter door switch board,
and IR sensor board.
Power Board
This supplies the lamp power and the system power. For the system power, +15.25 V, +12 V, and +5 V
are output, and the circuit power is generated on the main board.
VPL-EW7 1-13 (E)

1-7. Replacing Fuse
w
The fuse is essential parts for safe operation.
Replace the components with Sony parts whose part numbers appear in the manual published by Sony. If
the components are replaced with any parts other than the specified ones, this may cause a fire or electric
shock.
c
If the fuse is replaced while the main power is kept on, this may cause electric shock.
Before replacing the fuse, not only turn off the POWER switch but also disconnect the AC power cord
that is connected to the AC IN connector.
This unit is equipped with fuses.

The fuses blow if an excessive current flows due to abnormality inside the equipment. If fuses blow, turn
off the main power of the equipment once, and inspect inside of the equipment and remove the cause of
excessive current. After that, replace the fuses. (Refer to Section 1-3-4.)

m
. Be very careful not to fold the flexible card wire. Life of flexible card wire will be significantly short-
ened if it is folded.
. The flexible card wire has the conduction side and the insulation side. If the conduction side and the
insulation side are connected in the wrong direction, the circuit will not function.
. Insert the flexible card wire straight.
. Ensure that the conduction surface of the flexible card wire is not contaminated.
Disconnecting
Life portions A of the connector to unlock, and disconnect the flexible card wire.
Connecting
1. Insert the flexible card wire firmly as far as it will go, with the conduction side up.

1-9. Lead-free Solder
Boards requiring use of lead-free solder are printed with a lead free mark (LF) indicating the solder
contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular
size.)
: LEAD FREE MARK
m
. Be sure to use the lead-free solder for the printed circuit board printed with the lead free mark.
. The lead-free solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is
recommended to use the soldering iron having a temperature regulator.
. The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly
longer time. The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so
be careful.

2-5. V COM Adjustment
. By the Ernie Service tool, the V COM data is not replaced. Therefore, perform the V COM Adjustment
when optical data is replaced by the Ernie Service tool.
. When the EEPROM is replaced, the V COM data is inherited so that the V COM adjustment is not
necessary.
If flicker is significant on the screen, perform the V COM adjustment.
Procedure
1. Input the 100 % flat field signal to the INPUT A connector and allow the warm-up of 10 minutes
aging at a minimum.
2. Enter the service mode and change to page 4 to select “Vcom & Misc”.

Memory structure consists of the following memory blocks.
1 Set memory
2 Status memory
3 Picture memory
4 W/B memory
5 Aspct memory
6 Common memory
7 FLASH ROM/EEPROM*
* The gamma memory is realized by giving offset to the Contrast and Brightness output values to the
devices in the gamma mode function.
Flow of data is described briefly. When the power plug is connected to the wall outlet for the first time
(Standby state), all data that are stored in the internal ROM are written in the NVM (non-volatile memo-
ry). When the POWER is turned ON, all the status memory data and other memory data that are required
for the present picture are selected from each memory block and expanded in the internal RAM.
When any adjustment is performed at this moment, the adjustment data (user mode items) are written in
the NVM automatically triggered by the memory operation.
The adjustment items (W/B, V com) that can be adjusted in the Service Mode, are memorized in the NVM
at the time when the user performs adjustment and performs the memory operation. Note that the factory
adjustment data will be lost at this moment.

SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem,

perform the following safety checks before
releasing the set to the customer :
Check the metal trim, “metallized” knobs,

screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC
leakage. Check leakage as described below.
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part

to earth ground and from all exposed metal
parts to any exposed metal part having a return
to chassis, must not exceed 3.5 mA. Leakage
current can be measured by any one of three
methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the

Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the
manufacturers’ instructions to use these
instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The
Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is
suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor
by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC
voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 5.25 V, so
analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa
SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM
that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated
digital multimeters that have a 20 V AC
range are suitable. (See Fig. A)
