(2) LVDS signal definition and function
A video signal (display data signal and control signal) is converted from parallel data to serial data
with the LVDS transmitter and further converted into four sets of differential signals before input to
this product.
These signals are transmitted seven times faster than dot clock signals.
The dot clock signal is converted into one set of differential signals by the transmitter before input to
this product. The LVDS signal definition and function are summarized below :

Blanking signal BLANK 1 Input Display period timing signal.
H indicates the display period and L indicates
the non display period.
n
Set this timing properly like followings,
as is used internally for signal processing.
. Set the blanking period so that the number of effective
display data items in one horizontal period is 852.
. Set the number of blanking signals in one vertical period
to 512, which is one half the number of effective scan
lines.
If the BLANK changes when the Vsync frequency is
switched, the screen display may be disturbed or
brightness may change.
The screen display is restored to the normal state later
when the BLANK length is constant again.
*1) This product does not correspond to the progressive display mode by the parity signal fixation. When the parity signal is fixed, this
product is reversed arbitrarily internally and used.

2. Notes on Safe Handling of the Plasma Display
2-1. Notes to Follow During Servicing
. The work procedures shown with the nindication are important for ensuring the safety of the
product and the servicing work. Be sure to follow these instructions.
. Before starting the work, secure a sufficient working space.
. At all times other than when adjusting and checking the product, be sure to turn OFF the main POWER
switch and disconnect the power cable from the power source of the display (jig or the display itself)
during servicing.
. To prevent electric shock and breakage of PC board, start the servicing work at least 30 seconds after
the main power has been turned off. Especially when installing and removing the power supply PC
board and the SUS PC board in which high voltages are applied, start servicing at least 2 minutes after
the main power has been turned off.
. While the main power is on, do not touch any parts or circuits other than the ones specified.
The high voltage power supply block within the PDP module has a floating ground. If any connection
other than the one specified is made between the measuring equipment and the high voltage power
supply block, it can result in electric shock or activation of the leakage-detection circuit breaker.
. When installing the PDP module in, and removing it from the packing carton, be sure to have at least
two persons perform the work while being careful to ensure that the flexible printed-circuit cable of the
PDP module does not get caught by the packing carton.
. When the surface of the panel comes into contact with the cushioning materials, be sure to confirm that
there is no foreign matter on top of the cushioning materials before the surface of the panel comes into
contact with the cushioning materials. Failure to observe this precaution may result in the surface of the
panel being scratched by foreign matter.
. When handling the circuit PC board, be sure to remove static electricity from your body before han-
dling the circuit PC board.
. Be sure not to handle the circuit PC board by holding the such large parts as the heat sink or transform-
er. Failure to observe this precaution may result in the occurrence of an abnormality in the soldered
areas.
. Do not stack the circuit PC boards.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in problems resulting from scratches on the parts, the
deformation of parts, and short-circuits due to residual electric charge.
. Routing of the wires and fixing them in position must be done in accordance with the original routing
and fixing configuration when servicing is completed.
All the wires are routed far away from the areas that become hot (such as the heat sink). These wires
are fixed in position with the wire clamps so that the wires do not move, thereby ensuring that they are
not damaged and their materials do not deteriorate over long periods of time. Therefore, route the
cables and fix the cables to the original position and states using the wire clamps.
. Perform a safety check when servicing is completed.
Verify that the peripherals of the serviced points have not undergone any deterioration during servicing.
Also verify that the screws, parts and cables removed for servicing purposes have all been returned to
their proper locations in accordance with the original setup.

When removing the circuit board after the main power is turned on/off, wait for at least one minute before
starting to remove the circuit board.
If the circuit board removal is started immediately after turning off the main power, it can result in
electric shock or damage to the circuit due to residual electric charge.
Remove the circuit board following the steps below. To install the circuit board, reverse the removal
procedure.
(1) Remove the fixing screws (M3 x 8) at 9 locations.
(2) Release the lock of the FPC connector (CN21) and disconnect the signal cable.

Before shipment from service, perform the following setup or initialization.

1) Initial values that are shown in the List of EEPROM contents in Section 3-3-1.
(Main power of the module is turned off.)
2) Clearing the error codes
(1) From the each menu, select EXIT menu with the ↑ key or ↓ key and press the <ENTER> key.
(2) Shipping the set screen is displayed, and “Y” is pushed.
In shipping the set processing, there is a thing that the power supply of the module turns on
automatically.
The shipment setting ends, and when the power supply of the module is on, the power supply is
turned off automatically.
Shipment from service setting? (input the “Y” or “N” key)
“N” When the key is pushed, the shipment setting is not done, and the power supply
is turned off.

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 0.5 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 0.75 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 2 V AC range
are suitable. (See Fig. A)
