aquos 06 training update
TRANSCRIPT
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will learn
• How to disassemble the unit
• Theory of operation
• How to Use the service menu
• The functions and operations for each PCB
• Board level PWB troubleshooting and isolating a defective LCD panel
• The required adjustments after a PCB has been replaced
• How to perform software updates
The PWB’s of the Aquos Liquid Crystal Television employ Lead-Free Solder. The LF symbol indicates lead-free solder and is ink stamped on the side of the PWB. The alpha character following the LF indicates the type of lead-free solder used. In this case, it is a compound utilizing a combination of tin, silver, and copper.

A/V PCB Operation
The A/V PCB is responsible for input, switching and
processing for the component, composite and S-video sources, including video information from the digital section and 2-channel audio.
RF section includes the tuner, IF and demodulation stages.
The audio output section provides digital and 2-channel audio output sources. Also included is a 2-channel audio power amplifier for driving the built-in speakers.
A/V PCB Operation
The digital PCB sits piggy back on the A/V PCB and
provides ATSC and Qam demodulation.
All the processed video outputs the A/V PCB and is applied to the Scaler PCB for picture formatting and LVDS processing.
Scaler PCB Operation
The scaler PCB is
responsible for HDMI input, video scaling, LVDS drive and main system control operation.
All signal passes through the scaler for picture formatting. The LVDS section converts the signal into RGB 24 bit for LCD drive.
The microprocessor controls all functions of the set including OSD.
Power Supply
PCB Operation
The power supply PCB is responsible for generating all the main supplies needed to operate each PCB.
