Signal process
The main chip is N301 TDA93X1 AV control switch HEF4052, sound driver is N101 N17821A
.
The TV signal inputs into the tuner (A101) from CABLE or antenna. The pin 10 and pin 11 of the N301 are combined to select the band. The pin 4 of the N301 outputs the PWM tuning signal. The IF video signal comes from the IF pin of the tuner. The 38.9MHz IF signal is coupled to the V308 (pre-amplify) and then to SAWF (Z301). After processed in the SAWF, the 38.9MHz signal gets to the pin 23 and pin 24 of TDA93X1. The IF circuit in TDA93X1 includes such unit as the AGC amplifying circuit, 38.9MHz oscillator, PLL video demodulator, video amplifier, IF identify circuit and AFT circuit. The demodulated signal (CVBS) comes from the pin 38 of TDA93X1, the sound signal comes from the pin 44.The internal CVBS signal needs norm identification then outputs from the pin 38 of TDA93X1, via the trap-wave circuit (composed of the V351, Z354, Z352) feeds back to the pin 40 of TDA93X1. The RGB signal comes from the pin51, Pin52, Pin53 of TDA93X1, and outputs to the CRT board.
The internal sound signal comes from the pin 44 of TDA93X1, via the coupling capacitor C367 connects to the pin 3 and 5 of TDA9859. The TDA9859 is the audio effect processor, the AN7522N is the driver. The TDA9859 includes bass, treble, balance, surround, effect shortcut options.  Through Synchronous separating circuit, the video signal is divided into Horizontal-Synchronizing signal and Vertical-Synchronizing signal. The horizontal-Sync pulse coming from the pin 33 is transferred to the horizontal-drive transistor, and will be used to drive the horizontal-transformer. The horizontal-switch transistor is V451, it and the +B supply drives the flyback transformer to generate the anode high voltage, the focus voltage, the screen voltage, the CRT board drive voltage 180V, the vertical drive voltage 15V and -15V.  The vertical sawtooth wave is generated on the pin 21 and 22, and then enters the vertical output amplifier circuit. The vertical output amplifier circuit is realized with the power amplifier IC –LA78040.
The TDA8177 is a 7 pins vertical deflection circuit (2 Amperes) for DC-coupled 90° or 110° deflection systems with frame frequencies from 50 up to 120 Hz. Only a single supply voltage for the scan and a second supply for the flyback are needed.
The vertical drive currents of N301 pins 21 and 22 are connected to input pins 1 and 7 of the TDA8177. The currents are converted into a voltage by resistor R405. Pin 2 is on a fixed DC level (internal bias voltage, about 2.3V) and on pin 1 the drive voltage can be measured (typical 1.4 Vpp).

The outputs (pins 4 and 7) are connected to the series connection of the vertical deflection coil and feedback resistor R404 and R406. The voltage across R404 and R406. is fed via pin 1 to obtain a deflection current which is proportional to the drive voltage. The supply voltage for the TDA8177 is 17V at pin 3. The flyback generator has a separate supply voltage of V on pin 6. On pin 4 a vertical guard signal is available. For HF loop stability a damping resistor R407 is connected across the deflection coil.

Power supply (SMPS)
The IC of KA5Q0765RT is adapted in this chassis; it is the product of Fairchild. It supplies four DC voltages, one is the +B
110V, another is Hcc 26V, the third is 13V (the sound drive voltage),  the fourth is +16V. The +16V can generate the +8V, +5V and +3.3V by the special generators.
