  • Page 3 Overall Block Diagram The TC-26/32LX60 and 600 series LCD Direct View TVs differ from previous models in that all signal processing is accomplished on the A board. The video processing function that had been previously accomplished by the DG board is now performed on the A Board by IC4002. This IC serves as the Main micro and Video /Audio Panel controller.
  • Page 4: Board Layout

    Non - Serviceable Non - Serviceable Non - Serviceable This is the board layout of the TC-LX600 LCD Television. The P board, DT board, and A board are non serviceable. The G board, AP board, and V board are serviceable.
  • Page 5 Board Layout Pictorial P Board – The Power unit is responsible for generating the Standby 7V, 10V, and 24V, which provides input to some of the regulators on the AP Board. It also generates the switched 24V inverter voltage. AP Board –...

  • Page 7 The unit is equipped with a single ATSC tuner which plugs directly onto the A board. The LX60 features a single HDMI interface while the LX600 offers two. The connectors and pin outs provided in this diagram are, for the most part, the only available access points for board level repair troubleshooting.
  • Page 8 A Board Video Processing Video processing is performed on the A board. The A board incorporated in these models is now responsible for signal processing, and system control operation. The video processing function that had been performed by the DG board of the previous models is now accomplished on the A Board by IC4002.
  • Page 9 A Board Audio Processing Audio processing is performed on the A board. Audio signals from the DVI, Component, and the Composite video input enter the Audio Switch IC2006 where the desired input is selected. HDMI Audio is processed and converted into a one bit digital audio format by the HDMI IF receiver, IC5004.
  • Page 10 Power On Sequence 1.The Standby 7V (STB_7V) is generated on the P board (non- serviceable) when AC power is applied. This can be measured on Pin 3 of Connector AP4/A4. 2.The STB_7V is regulated to 3.3 V on the Main board and applied to the Main Video and Audio Controller IC4002.
  • Page 11 AP Board Power Distribution The AP Board is responsible for the regulation, distribution and dissemination of all secondary voltages derived from the 24V and 10V source supplies on the P Board. The 7V STBY voltage is present when the unit is plugged into the AC outlet. When the main power switch is activated, it is sensed on the main board by IC4002.
  • Page 12 Main 5V Supply The Main 5V, Main 9V, Sound 20V, and Panel 12V supplies are very similar in their design and operation. Panasonic utilizes several Buck regulator circuits to generate these voltages. The primary difference is that the input voltage to the Main 5V regulator is 10V whereas the 9V, 20V, and 12V supplies use 24V.
  • Page 13 SUB 9V and 30V Tuner Supply The SUB 9V and BT 30V Tuner sources are generated by the same switch mode power supply IC, IC7209. The supply encompasses the design of both Buck and Boost regulator circuits. 1. A soft-on enable is provided on pin 5 of IC7209 during the initial power on sequence as capacitor C7294 charges.
  • Page 14 AP Board Protection Shutdown The protection shutdown circuit is designed to monitor for a short or loss of the 10V, 30V, Sound 18V,and the Panel VCC sources. If any of these voltage sources go low, it will cause Q7210 to conduct. As a result, the collector of Q7211 goes low to signal a shutdown condition to IC4002 on the A board.
  • Page 15 AP Board Test Point Locations This page shows the test points that can be accessed to troubleshoot the AP board.
  • Page 16 AP Board LCD Power Distribution Connector AP1 provides the switched 24V from the power unit to the LCD Panel via connectors AP5 and AP7. The 24V can be monitored on connector AP5 or on jumper JS7455.
