Safety instructions
1. Instructions
Be sure to switch off the power supply before replacing or welding any components or
inserting/plugging in connection wire Anti static measures to be taken (throughout the entire
production process!):
a) Do not touch here and there by hand at will;
b) Be sure to use anti static electric iron;
c) It’s a must for the welder to wear anti static gloves.
Please refer to the detailed list before replacing components that have special safety requirements.
Do not change the specs and type at will.

would be unable to work and no way to get it repaired.
2.11 Special care must be taken in transporting or handling it. Exquisite shock vibration may lead to
breakage of screen glass or damage to driving circuit. Therefore it must be packed in a strong case
before the transportation or handling.
2.12 For the storage make sure to put it in a place where the environment can be controlled so as to
prevent the temperature and humidity from exceeding the limits as specified in the manual. For
prolonged storage, it is necessary to house it in an anti-moisture bag and put them altogether in one
place. The ambient conditions are tabulated as follows:
Temperature Scope for operation 0 ~ +50 oC
Scope for storage -20 ~ +60 oC
humidity Scope for operation 20% ~ 85%
Scope for storage 10% ~ 90%
2.13 Display of a fixed picture for a long time may result in appearance of picture residue on the
screen, as commonly called “ghost shadow”. The extent of the residual picture varies with the
maker of LCD screen. This phenomenon doesn’t represent failure. This “ghost shadow” may remain
in the picture for a period of time (several minutes). But when operating it please avoid displaying
still picture in high brightness for a long time.

FlashUpgraderNT (use under window 2000/XP/NT)
Based on the computer features, set up the serial port (COM Port). Select corresponding serial port
(if it’s unable to FLASH WRITE, change to another port). Baud is selected to be 115200. Then
select Reset Target After Download. Click FLASH pushbutton, it’s ready to run. For other settings,
please refer to the Fig. Above (already defaulted by the system, normally no need to change).
Switch on TV set the FLASH write program begins to run;
After FLASH write is over, push button “cancel” will become flash. Then shut the main power supply
and it’s OK just switch it on again.
Note: Do not shut the power off or turn the TV set on during the FLASH write. Otherwise it
may lead to no way for flash to rewrite.

LC-37K7 working principle analysis
Please refer to LC-37K7 BLOCK DIAGRAM in order to know the working principle of LC-37K7 brief
introduction to its signal flow is shown as follows:
RF signal produces composite color television signal through TUNER201, the signal together with
AV1/SVHS(SVHS priority) and AV2 etc. are sent to U29 VPC3230D to decode and do switching
selection. In addition to decode the selected video signal, part of the selected video signal is also
sent to AV terminal and 21 line decoder U32 Z86229 which is exclusive to decode CCD/V-CHIP to
decode. After decoded by U32, the signal will be sent back to U29 in the form of R G B and FB, then
it will be added to the decoded picture and then it will be sent to U13 FL12310 in the form of
ITU-R656 signal format of 8BIT to do line-by-line process.
Send two ways YPRPB signal to U30 MST9883 through selection by N2 PI5V330 in order to do the
A/D conversion. After this, the signal will be converted into YUV signal of 24BIT, send it to FLI2310
also.
After a series of procedure such as matrix, chroma and tint etc. by FL12310, the two ways signal will
be converted into RGB of 24bit, then send it to the main processing chip U12 JAG-ASM. send RGB
signal it to the main processing chip U12 at the same time. There has another signal which should
be sent to U12 together with he above two kinds of signal that is: RGB signal of 24BIT produced by
DV1 through U15 TFP403/501. Do the picture format processing for the three kinds of signal in U12.
Firstly do the A/D conversion for RGB signal of VGA, then do the switching selection together with
the other two kinds of signal. And then they will be converted into 1024*768 format through digital
display processing such as OSD and GAMMA correction etc. output it in the form of 24BIT RGB
signal. Send it to LVDS convertor U31 DS90C383A, then it will be converted into signal format
which can be accepted by LCD screen namely 3 low-voltage differential signal and 1 clock signal,
finally send it to LCD screen to do the picture display PWM of U12 can also be used to control the
brightness of back light-source.
Send SIF (the second IF) outputted by tuner to audio processor NA01 MSP3420; send YPRPB and
audio signal of DVI to NA01 through switching selection by U34 HEF4052; Send AV1/SVHS, AV2
and audio signal of VGA to NA01 also. Firstly SIF will be done the switching selection together with
another four ways of audio signal, finally volume control and sound effect processing will be done.
Output left-right sound channel signal R/L. one will be sent to SRS sound field processor NA03
M62494 to do SRS processing and finally amplified by NA03 and NA04 TPA3008D2 to drive the
speaker, one will be used to drive the headphone through NA02 TLE2142 and the last part will be
outputted as R/L of AV OUT.

via PDO.
DE 46 DO Output data enable? Used to indicate time of active video display versus nonactive display or blank time.
During blank, only HSYNC, VSYNC, and CTL1-2 are transmitted. During times of active display, or nonblank,
only pixel data, QE[23:0] and QO[23:0], is transmitted.

TFT support ODCK clock runs continuously. For DSTN support ODCK only clocks when DE is high; otherwise
ODCK is held low when DE is low.
High : DSTN support/ODCK held low when DE = low
Low: TFT support/ODCK runs continuously.
