CAUTION
BEFORE SERVICING THE CHASSIS,
READ THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

OVERVIEW
1-1 FA - GENERAL
The FA chassis was developed for consumer market pur-
pose. This manual covers 27v True Flat CRT only. The
chassis is divided in two sections, the large signal board
is containing the deflection, dynamic focus, power sup-
ply circuitry & shutdown circuit. A second board, lo-
cated on the left side of the figure, is employed for
processing the RF, audio, communication (main BUS),
deflection, IF and video signals, this chassis does not
require any other daughter board.
The Analog Flat chassis features a total of 9 IC’s on the
small signal board, for RGB signal, video switching, (HV
sync signal processing included). This chassis only sup-
ports the NTSC-U (USA) video format and this is made
trough the IC2200, P221-01519, main video processor
located on the middle of the small signal board, which is
taking care of the IF, AGC, OSD switching, YUV process-
ing, Automatic Contrast Level Control Systems, SVM sup-
port, Audio/ Video & Chorma demodulation, including
Horizontal (East/West correction & X-ray protection) and
Vertical deflection signals. The IF signal come from the
WT1201, which is the main tuner.
A relationship between IC2200 and IC2990, P221-01438,
is linked, this last one is used for switching the video
signal inputs from the Front and Rear jacks. Also in-
volved is the digital comb filter IC2400, 221-01449,
which is used to separate the Y and C signals from any
composite video (RF or Video In). The YUV input is pro-
cessing directly through the IC2200.
The audio channels are applied to the audio processor
IC1400, 221-01127. The IC1400 is also processing the
TV- RF composite audio, this IC features function such
audio demodulation, SAP (second audio program), and
the audio processing for BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE ad-
justments, also includes the Surround and Soundrite fea-
tures.
Once the audio is processed by IC1400, both channels
are applied to the main stereo amplifier. The IC800, P221-
1488, is the final audio stage and its signal is applied
to the speakers.

OVERVIEW
FA - GENERAL 1-2
The IC6000 is the 8 bits & 80K microcontroller and the
IC6001, 221-00745-05, is the EAROM memory. The
IC6000 handles the communication thru IIC BUS, I/O
ports, ADC converters for the keyboard, also supplies the
OSD signals for the On screen menus and the Close Cap-
tion decoding.
The main board is using three main linear regulators for
providing several voltage sources, the ICX3821 [5VSW]
for Tuner and IC2200 , ICX3820 [5VSB] for the IC6000/
1 and ICX3822 [9VSW] for most of the rest of IC’s. The
VSW stand for SWITCHED VOLTAGE, these regulators con-
tain an internal power switch to turn them on/off, from
a Power Control signal provided by the IC6000.
Finally the main board has a provision for an additional
IC, for switching the YUV inputs. The objective of this
IC2902 is for adding an extra YUV input. This circuit
will be available for a future model.
On the large signal module there are five IC’s , the ICX3612
is the main power switching and PWM hybrid circuit and
in conjunction with ICX3702 made the main power regu-
lation of this chassis. The purpose of this regulator is to
provide a proper protection for avoiding to shut the
main power supply off and therefore the complete TV set.
And of course, avoid the necessity of fuse replacement
due to a short circuit on the third party TV card.
The ICX2100 is the Vertical output amplifier and is pro-
cessing the small signal provided by the IC2200 on the
small signal board. Also the IC3300 is processing the
EAST/WEST correction for the screen geometry.
Finally The IC5100 is used to amplify the RGB small sig-
nals from the IC2200 and then display them on the CRT
cathodes.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
If you’re using Zenith products, the remote is already pro-
grammed for most common codes: TV= 101, VCR= 201,
CABLE=353, and AUX=401. For other brands, or if your
remote fails to control your Zenith products, you’ll have
to program the remote.
After installing the batteries, follow these steps for each
product:
1. Press and hold PRG using a blunt pointed object.
Release PRG after the indicator light turns on.
2. Press the device button to be programmed (CATV,
VCR, AUX, or TV).
3. Enter the 3-digit product code from chart on the
next page.
4. Press and release ENTER to save the code.

To start the EZ Program, press the Right Arrow key. If the
Cable TV input type is selected, the EZ Program routine
will determine what type of cable system is present.
Notes:
• EZ Program clears all Surfing channels, which were
added.
• While searching for channels, all keys except for the
Power key are disabled. This prevents an incomplete
EZ Program procedure.
• Running the Auto Program will clear the factory mode,
if it was active. This happens at the end of the EZ
Program.
• If the EZ Program line in the Setup Menu is ‘red’, this
indicates that the module did not pass by Chassis.
When ‘green’, this indicates that the module did not
pass by Tracking. When ‘blue’, this indicates that the
module did not pass by Programming. To clear this
line to ‘white’, set the upper nibble of the EEPROM
location $1FFh to $B0h.
• If no channels are found then the following message
will appear: “Make sure that the cable/ant. is
connected, and try again.”
ADD/DEL/SURF
After running the Auto Program, all channels found by
the Auto Program feature will be marked ‘Added’. How-
ever, some of these channels may be scrambled, or un-
desired by the customer. The Add/Del/Surf feature al-
lows the customer to selectively mark any channel as
‘Deleted’ or ‘Added’.
To change the status of a channel, press the Up/Down
Arrow keys.
To change the channel while adding or deleting chan-
nels, use the Channel Up/Down keys, or press the de-
sired channel digits, followed by the ENTER key. If only
one channel is present, to change the channel the cus-
tomer must use the digit keypad to select a channel.

SET HOURS
Use the Up/Down Arrow keys to adjust the number of
hours the Parental Control feature will be active. The
valid hour range is 1 through 99 hours.
SET PASSWORD
Press the Right Arrow key to allow Password entry.
TO ENTER PASSWORD
The software accepts four-digit codes only. The cus-
tomer must enter a password
REPEAT PASSWORD
After a four-digit code has been entered, the software
requires the customer to re-enter the same four-digit
code.
PASSWORD NOT ACCEPTED!
If an invalid code is entered, or the two codes entered
do not match, a blinking error message (“Not Accepted!”)
will appear. This error message also appears when no code
is entered for the password or if only one digit is en-
tered and no other digit has been entered.
LOCK ON/OFF
This item turns the Parental feature On or Off. The Pa-
rental Ctrl. feature can only be turned on if the hours >
0, and a password has been set. Otherwise the Lock On/
Off line will display either of the following error mes-
sages: “Must Set Hours” or “Must Set Password.”
RE-ENTERING PARENTAL CONTROL MENU
If the Parental Control feature has been activated,
the software will not allow immediately entry into
the Parental Control Menu. Instead, it will prompt
for the correct password. If the correct pass-
word is entered, the Parental Control menu will
be unlocked so the user can change the con-
figuration for parental options. If an incorrect
password is entered, an error message (“Not Ac-
cepted!) appears, and will not disappear until 5
seconds. This extended time provision increases
the amount of time necessary for a child to “crack”
the password.
Notes:
• The Parental Control menu will remain up for
15 seconds after the last key press.
• The QUIT key may be pressed to remove the PC
menu.
• Entry into the Factory Menu will immediately
turn off the PC feature
• The PC Hours and Password will be cleared
upon exit of the Parental Ctrl menu (unless
the Parental Ctrl feature has been turned on.)
DISPLAY WHEN PARENTAL CONTROL IS ACTIVE
When the Parental Control has been activated
the channel is blocked. The display on the screen
shows two lines. The first line displays a mes-
sage saying that the “PARENTAL LOCKOUT IS AC-
TIVE.”
The second line displays the amount of time (in
hours) left in the lockout.
