Installation Safeguards  
WARNING!!! Procedures in this service manual require  
removing the projector’s covers to access internal component to  
remove, replace, service and adjust the projector. Only Hughes-  
JVC Certified Technicians are qualified to perform these  
procedures. Before removing or replacing any internal  
components or subassemblies, verify that the circuit breaker on  
the back panel is in the Off position and remove the power plug.  
Any adjustments performed that require covers off and power on  
should be performed with extreme care. Be especially aware of  
all hazardous areas indicated by warning and caution labels.  
CAUTION!!! Do not use a forklift to lift the projector without  
using a safe shipping pallet. Lifting the projector without  
supporting the weight at the foot locations can cause severe  
damage to the projector.  
If there is any visible damage to the power cable, disconnect  
power to the projector until the damaged cable is replaced. Install  
the projector on a smooth, vibration-resistant level surface, or  
ceiling mount, in an area free from dust and moisture. Do not  
place the equipment in direct sunlight or near heat-radiating  
appliances. Smoke, steam and exposure to direct sunlight could  
adversely affect the internal components.  
If mounting the projector, use hardware that can handle a  
minimum of three (3) times the projector weight.  
Heat Safeguards  
Fans and Ventilation: The projector has multiple fans to cool the  
system. Do not block the intake or outflow of any fans. Heat is  
emitted within the system and must be properly dissipated to keep  
the system running correctly. Blocking air intake or exhaust ports  
can lead to projector overheating. Do not enclose the unit in a  
restricted space (refer to the physical access and thermal  
clearance illustration guidelines).

Safety Information  
CAUTION! Do not unplug the power cord until after the arc  
lamp fan has stopped running. This fan protects the arc lamp from  
overheating. Disconnecting power before the cooling fans have  
stopped running can shorten Arc Lamp life.  
Light Safeguards  
Ultra Violet and Infrared Light  
Eye and face protection from ultra violet light and infrared light in  
accordance with the following conditions:  
1. X3 (up to 375 nanometers), ANSI approved, shade  
goggles must be worn by anyone near the projector  
when it is lit and the cover is off.  
2. X5 (375 to 700 nanometers), ANSI approved, shade  
goggles when actually working on the projector  
near the arc lamp source.  
WARNING, BRIGHT LIGHT!!!  
Never look directly at the Arc Lamp, the lighted Projection  
Lens or into the lamp housing, from any distance, when the  
projector is on. Direct exposure to light of this brightness can  
cause severe eye injury.  
Dangerous levels of ultraviolet and infrared radiation,  
dangerous glare, very high temperatures (180°C to 300°C) and  
high internal gas pressure are present at the Xenon Arc  
Lamp. The lamp is contained in a protective reflector housing  
module and should not be operated outside this housing or  
outside of the projector. When replacement is needed, the arc  
lamp must be replaced as an entire module, as shown in this  
Model 200 Service Manual. Do not open the lamp housing or  
attempt to replace the Arc Lamp inside its module! Do not  
touch the Arc Lamp, or any connections, when the lamp is  
ignited or is arcing. Any servicing of the Arc Lamp must

2.1 Introduction  
The assemblies and components in the Model 200 projector are  
contained mainly in the five sections below:  
The Optics Assembly Section is located at the front area of  
the projector. The Optics Assembly Section includes the  
Condensing Lens, Cold Mirror/IR Filter (  
CAUTION!: The term "cold mirror" is used because  
the mirror passes infrared light and its reflection contains only  
"cold' light that does not transmit appreciable heat. As a result  
of the absorption of infrared heat radiation, "cold" mirrors can  
get very hot.), Ultraviolet Filter, Dichroic Mirror Assembly,  
Prisms, Combining Prism, Image Mirrors, and the Zoom  
Projection Lens.  
The Arc Lamp Assembly section is located in the right front  
area of the unit. It contains the Ignitor, Laser Power Supply,  
Xenon Arc Lamp and Elliptical Reflector.

Chapter 2---System Description  
The Power Supply Section is located at the right front area of  
the projector below and to the rear of the Arc Lamp. It contains  
the Low Voltage Power Supply, the High Voltage Power  
Supply, and the Arc Lamp Power Supply.  
The Projector Electronics Section is located mainly in the  
back half of the projector. It consists of the Electronics Module  
that houses 6 of the electronics printed circuit boards used in  
the projector, and their associated cabling. It also contains the  
Backplane board which is used to electrically interconnect the  
printed circuit boards, power supplies and various other units  
in the projector and the Video Input Cards that interface with  
different kinds of input signals.  
The CRT Section is located beneath the electronics card cage  
and contains the 3 CRTs, 3 Relay Lenses, 3 ILA®s and the  
Video Amplifier Board.  
2.2 Optical System  
Introduction: The Model 200 Optics Assembly divides white light  
from the Arc Lamp into its three color components, Red, Green  
and Blue. This light is then modulated with the image signal to  
form three single color images. The light is then recombined at the  
4P (combining) prism and transmitted through the projection lens  
to the projector screen. The explanation below is divided into two  
sections. The first section follows the image path from the CRT to  
the projector screen. The second section follows the high intensity  
light path from the Arc Lamp Ignitor to the ILA® assemblies, where  
it combines with the image. The Red, Green, and Blue image and  
light paths are identical. Refer to Figure 2-1.  
CAUTION! The alignment of system optical  
components is critical. Replacement of individual mirrors or prisms  
requires removing the projector cover and must be performed only  
by Hughes-JVC Certified technicians. Consult the factory before  
removing or aligning any mirrors or prisms.  
2.2.1 Image Path  
CRT Assemblies: The three CRT/Yoke assemblies are located  
beneath the Electronics Module card cage. Two exhaust fans at  
the rear help cool the CRT assemblies. Each CRT is sent a red,  
green, or blue signal, but they do not emit a red, green, or blue  
color, as in traditional projectors. The CRTs are not used as a  
2-2

Chapter 2---System Description  
primary light source. The light output to the screen is the function  
of the Arc Lamp. The purpose of the CRTs is to generate an  
image and to control the amount of modulation the ILA®  
assemblies introduce on the light coming from the Arc Lamp. The  
Red, Green, and Blue image signals are routed to the CRTs from  
the Video Amplifier Board through the CRT socket connectors.  
Relay Lens: The relay lens picks up the image from the face of  
the CRT and focuses the image to the ILA® assembly.  
Image Light Amplifier (ILA®) Assembly: The CRT image is  
received from the relay lens onto the input side of the ILA®  
assembly. The input and output sides of the ILA® assembly are  
isolated from each other electrically and optically but are coupled  
electrostatically.  
At the same time as the image is received at the input side of the  
ILA® assembly, the output side of the ILA® assembly is receiving  
high intensity light from the arc lamp through the prism. This high  
intensity light is modulated (changing its polarization) by the signal  
on the input side of the ILA® assembly. The light is then reflected  
back from the output side of the ILA® assembly, then travels  
through the prism to be picked up by the projection lens.  
NOTE: The prism reflects horizontally polarized light and passes  
vertically polarized light. Light from the arc lamp is polarized  
horizontally and reflects from the prism into the ILA® assembly  
then back out again, after being modulated by the image signal  
into vertically polarized light. The vertically polarized light then  
passes through the prism to the projector lens. In this manner the  
ILA® assembly combines the image from the CRT with the high  
intensity light from the arc lamp. Thus, the maximum brightness of  
the screen image is not dependent on the brightness of the CRT,  
but on the light from the arc lamp.  
For a more detailed description of how the ILA® assembly works,  
refer to Section 2.7 below.  
Polarizing Prism: The polarizing prism receives the high intensity  
light from the xenon arc lamp and polarizes the light horizontally.  
The prism reflects virtually all of this light toward the ILA®  
assembly. This light is then modulated (altered) into a vertical  
plane by the image on the input side of the ILA® assembly and  
then reflected back into the same prism. Since the prism reflects  
only horizontal light and passes vertical light, this high intensity,  
vertically polarized image goes straight through the prism toward  
the Combining Prism. Light that is not completely polarized  
horizontally or vertically passes through the prism in varying  
degrees of brightness, according to how polarized it is (fully  
polarized light resulting in maximum brightness on the screen).  
Image Mirror: The Image Mirrors direct the blue and red images  
toward the Combining Prism.

Chapter 2---System Description  
Combining (4P) Prism: The combining prism consists of  
separate prisms that polarize each of the three high intensity  
signals and direct them toward the projection lens.  
Projection Lens: The Projection Lens picks up the high intensity  
image from the Combining Prism and transmits it to the projector  
screen.  
2.2.2 Arc Lamp Light Path  
The Arc Lamp assembly produces the high intensity light used to  
transmit bright images to the screen. It consists of a Xenon Arc  
Lamp containing xenon gas under pressure, an ignitor assembly  
that provides the spark to light the arc lamp, and a laser power  
supply to provide the boost voltage to the Ignitor. An exhaust fan  
helps keep the arc lamp cool. The description below follows the  
sequence of the light path. (See Figure 2-1).  
Ignitor and Laser Power Supply: The Laser Power Supply  
provides a boost voltage through a spark gap to the Ignitor circuit  
which then provides a momentary High Voltage, (32,000 volts), to  
excite the xenon gases inside the Xenon Arc Lamp. After the arc  
lamp ignites, it is maintained ON by high current and low-voltage  
(approximately 37.5 amps and +20 volts). The arc lamp Ignitor  
and Laser Power Supply are mounted next to the arc lamp, inside  
the Arc Lamp assembly housing.  
WARNING!!!  
The Xenon Arc Lamp produces high  
intensity white, ultraviolet and infrared light capable of severe eye  
injury. Never look directly at or touch the Xenon Arc Lamp.  
Service should be performed by Hughes-JVC certified  
technicians only.  
Xenon Arc Lamp/Condensing Lens: High pressure, ionized  
xenon gas supports a high-current electrical arc to produce the  
intense, white light used in the Model 200 projector. The high  
intensity light output from the Xenon Arc Lamp is reflected by an  
elliptical metal reflector to a Condensing Lens where the light  
beam is condensed and directed to the Cold Mirror.  
Cold Mirror/IR Filter and Ultraviolet Filter: The arc lamp light  
beam passes through the Condensing Lens to the Cold Mirror and  
Infrared Filter which removes most of the IR light, then through the  
Ultraviolet filter which removes most of the UV light. The light  
beam then proceeds toward the Dichroic Mirror Assembly. In this  
manner most of the IR and UV light is filtered out before the light  
beam enters the more sensitive portions of the optics, leaving only  
the visible portion.  
Dichroic Mirror Assembly: The condensed and filtered white  
light beam enters the Dichroic Mirror Assembly which separates  
(dichroic mirrors reflect only one color and pass all others) the  
2-4

Chapter 2---System Description  
light into its Red, Green and Blue components. The first mirror in  
the Dichroic Mirror Assembly reflects blue light to the blue ILA®  
assembly, the second mirror reflects green light to the green ILA®  
assembly, and the third reflects red light to the red ILA® assembly.  
Thus, each ILA® is sent only one color of light.  
Prepolarizers and Polarizing Prisms: Each individual light beam  
is polarized (directed) toward its own Polarizing Prism where it is  
directed toward the output side of its ILA® Assembly and  
combined with the signal from the input side of the ILA®  
Assembly.  
Each of these three light beams independently combine with the  
image in their own (Red, Green or Blue) color systems at the ILA®  
assemblies as described in Section 2.2.1, Image Path.

2.3 Electronics System  
2.3.1 General Description  
The Model 200 Electronics System includes nine printed circuit  
assemblies. They provide all the controlling voltages and signals  
to adjust and correct picture settings, geometry, convergence, and  
shading (see Chapter 4 of the User’s Guide). The Electronics  
System also controls video and sync input signals, LED displays  
on PCBs at the rear and side of the projector, two RS-232  
communications ports, and two IR receivers for remote control of  
the projector.  
The descriptions in this portion of the manual are based on an  
overall Electronics System block diagram and simplified block  
diagrams for each of the nine printed circuit assemblies. The  
diagrams and descriptions serve two purposes; first, to provide the  
technician with an overall grasp of how the system works and how  
each assembly works with other assemblies in the system,  
second, to provide the technician with enough information to  
troubleshoot to the assembly level, if needed.  
Figure 2-2 provides an overall System Block Diagram to show how  
the Optical System, Arc Lamp, and Electronics System combine to  
provide the bright screen image.

/LV_OK: When /LV-ENA is enabled, this diagnostic signal  
indicates to the System Controller the status of the non-standby  
supply (all outputs working or not working).  
Operation:  
The main power is filtered via the input filter to prevent radiation  
from escaping back to the power line. From the line filter, AC  
power is fed into the Low Voltage Power Supply module where AC  
is rectified, filtered, and compensated for power factor correction.  
The +5.1V Standby is on whenever AC power is connected to the  
projector and the circuit breaker on the rear panel is in the On  
position. The +24V standby power for the fans turns on when the  
/FAN_ENA signal is received from the System Controller (this  
turns off in 5-8 minutes if power is not turned on by the remote  
control or a PC). All other voltages supplied by the LVPS are  
activated when power is turned on at the remote or PC. These  
include +5.1V for digital components, +6.2V for CRT filaments,  
±15V for analog circuits, and the +80V supply which is used by the  
High Voltage Power Supply, Video Amplifier PCB, and the  
Horizontal/Vertical Deflection PCB.

/COVER_ON: Cover interlock signal. Indicates both covers are in  
place.  
/LAMP_OK: Tells the ALPS that the lamp is installed, the  
temperature is within limits, and the lamp cooling blower is  
working.  
Outputs:  
+140 VDC boost voltage to the Laser Power Supply.  
Voltage: 18 to 25 VDC to maintain the arc lamp ON.  
Current: 30 to 38 amps to maintain the arc lamp ON.  
LAMP_OUT: Lamp output voltage, positive.  
LAMP_RTN: Lamp return.  
/LAMP_LIT: Signal to SCB that the lamp is lit.  
Operation:  
Two signals (/COVER_ON and /LAMP_OK) are required in order  
for the arc lamp to light. /COVER_ON from the cover interlock  
switches tells the Arc Lamp Power Supply that the covers are in  
place and the interlock switches are pressed down. /LAMP_OK  
informs the System Controller that the lamp is installed (a  
mechanical switch activates when lamp is installed). The System  
Controller sends the /LAMP_ENA signal to the Arc Lamp Power  
Supply. The /LAMP_ENA signal turns on the ALPS.  
The Arc Lamp Power Supply then provides the +140 VDC boost  
voltage to a spark gap and high voltage transformer which steps  
up the voltage to approximately 32KV and ignites the Xenon Arc  
Lamp. After the Arc Lamp is lit, it is maintained on by the ALPS at  
a steady 20 volts and 37 amps. The /LAMP_LIT signal output  
informs the System Controller if the lamp is lit or not.  
The Arc Lamp Power Supply is electrically and magnetically  
shielded to prevent noise or disturbances in the CRTs or other  
circuitry.  
High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS)  
The High Voltage Power Supply (HVPS) is located on top of the  
LVPS on the right side of projector ( as viewed from rear). This  
supply provides the anode, focus, and screen voltages required  
for the three CRTs in the Model 200 projector.  
The following functions are provided by HVPS:  
Phase locked loop circuit for synchronization to the horizontal  
sync

Chapter 2---System Description  
2.3.5 Video Amplifier  
The Video Amplifier Board (VAB) is located at the back side of the  
projector under the necks of the three CRTs. It contains three  
separate video amplifiers, one each for red, green, and blue. The  
outputs from these video amplifiers connect directly to the CRTs  
and provide all electrical connections to the CRTS except for the  
anode voltages.  
The following functions are provided by VAB:  
Amplification of video signals and driving the cathode of all  
three CRTs  
Sensing the cathode beam current for all three CRTs  
G1 regulator for all three CRTs  
Blanking drive section  
Phosphor protection for all three CRTs  
G2 regulator and adjustment of black level (screen) for all  
CRTs  
DC restoration for the video signals  
CRT interface for focus, heater voltage and ARC ground  
The Video Amplifier Board I/O diagram (Figure 2-11) and the list  
of Inputs and Outputs (Table 2-8) provide information for the  
technician to perform module level troubleshooting.  
G1 Regulator for three CRTs  
The input supply for the G1 grid of the CRTs is G1_SUPPLY and  
is about -200V. The VAB regulates this supply to about -80V to -  
30V. This supply can be adjusted by the G1_BIAS line. This  
adjustment provides the brightness control function. The G1_BIAS  
signal is an input of the VAB and is generated by the Video  
Processor Board. In the event of a failure, such as lack of  
deflection (a high on the /SWEEP_OK line), this output goes to the  
most negative value of the input supply (about -200V).  
G2 Regulator and black level adjustment for CRTs  
The VAB also regulates the G2 grid of the CRTs. The supply for  
the G2 grids (about 1200V) is generated by the HVPS. This  
G2_SUPPLY is an input to the VAB. There are also three control  
inputs (RED_G2, GRN_G2, and BLU_G2). The G2 voltage of  
each CRT is adjusted individually by using these control lines.  
This adjustment provides black level control. The G2 output  
voltages are pulled down during shutdown mode.

CRT interface for Focus, heater voltages and ARC ground  
The three CRT sockets are part of the VAB. They provide the  
necessary interface for the input of the three CRTs. The Focus  
voltage for each color is connected directly to the socket of each  
CRT.  
The VAB provides ARC grounds for each CRT which are used to  
protect against arcing of the CRT anode supply.  
IIC Interface  
The VAB does not use the IIC interface. All adjustments are  
accomplished by the control lines coming from the Video  
Processor Board.

Chapter 2---System Description  
2.3.6 System Controller PCB  
The System Controller Board (SCB) is located in the electronic  
card cage (Figure 5-1).  
The Electronics System is controlled by the SCB. The SCB uses  
digital and analog circuits to direct the operation of image and  
raster generation circuits and to control the input/output of power  
supply operation.  
The SCB sets the operating parameters of the image, such as  
brightness and contrast. It also produces internal test patterns and  
generates on-screen display overlays. The SCB sets the timing for  
the raster generation to adjust phase, geometric corrections,  
shading corrections, and convergence. The program memory and  
the memory for all convergence and shading maps are located on  
the SCB.  
The following functions are performed or controlled by the System  
Controller:  
Enables control for the Low Voltage Power Supply, Arc Lamp  
and cooling fans.  
Fault monitors the HVPS, LVPS, Arc Lamp, and fans.  
Provides interboard communication via the IIC serial bus.  
Controls Zoom and Focus of the Projection Lens.  
IIC Interface control  
Provides Video Overlays  
X and Y convergence control  
Threshold and Sensitivity for shading  
I/O control  
Two RS-232 serial interface ports  
Infrared (IR) remote control interface. Accepts input from front  
or rear IR detectors.  
A 5-wire JTAG interface port for CPU emulation support.  
External 3 color system status LEDs. Green indicates normal,  
yellow is standby and red indicates a fault condition.  
External Service Mode switch (see Figure 5-1). Pressing this  
switch during a power-up sequence brings the system up in a  
diagnostic mode (for maintenance) rather than a normal  
operating mode.  
The SCB I/O diagram (Figure 2-12) and the list of Inputs and  
Outputs (Table 2-9) provide information for the technician to  
perform module-level troubleshooting.

2.3.7 Raster Timing Generator PCB  
The Raster Timing Generator (RTG) is located in the electronic  
card cage (Figure 5-1). The RTG I/O diagram (Figure 2-13) and  
the list of inputs and outputs (Tables 2-10 and 2-11) provide  
information to allow the technician to perform module level  
troubleshooting.  
The following functions are provided by RTG board:  
Internal sync generation  
Sync detection and selection  
Serration and equalization pulse removal  
Phase locked loop  
Blanking pulse generation  
Horizontal and vertical phase adjustments  
Interlace detection and odd field pulse generation  
Horizontal frequency band selection  
Horizontal line count and vertical count generation  
IIC interface  
Video clamp pulse generation  
Source change detection  
HVPS sync generation  
Horizontal deflection enable circuitry  
The RTG I/O Diagram (Figure 2-13) and the list of inputs and  
outputs (Tables 2-7 and 2-8) provide information for the technician  
to perform module level troubleshooting.  
Horizontal frequency band selection and LED logic.  
The RTG produces a voltage that is proportional to the horizontal  
frequency which is used by the Horiz/Vert Deflection board,  
System Controller Board, and the phase locked loop (PLL) section  
of the RTG board. This DC voltage is used to create the following  
frequency bands:  
Band A: from 15 KHZ to 24.5 KHZ.  
Band B: from 24 KHZ to 29.5 KHZ  
Band C: from 29 KHZ to 56 KHZ  
Band D: from 55.5 KHZ to 90 KHZ.  
These bands are outputted through the IIC interface to be used  
by the System Controller Board. These lines are also outputs of  
the RTG board through the Backplane Board. The

2.4 Image Light Amplifier Technology  
Section 2.2 explained how the various units, including the ILA®  
assemblies, in the Optical System work together to produce the  
image on the screen. This section focuses mainly on how the ILA®  
assembly itself works.  
An Image Light Amplifier (ILA®) assembly (Figure 2-18) is a  
device that uses low-intensity images to modulate a high-intensity  
light through a liquid crystal layer. It is the key component in  
producing very bright, high resolution images from Hughes-JVC  
large-screen projectors.  
Figure 2-18. The Hughes-JVC Image Light Amplifier®.  
Optically, there are two sides to an ILA® assembly with a light  
blocking layer in the center. On the input side there is a photo-  
conductive layer where the image from a CRT is focused through  
a relay lens. This image is electrostatically coupled through the  
light-blocking layer and mirror to a liquid crystal layer on the output  
side of the ILA® assembly.  
Model 200 Service Manual  
2-63

Chapter 2---System Description  
High intensity light from a Xenon Arc Lamp is applied, through a  
prism (where it is polarized), to the output side of the ILA®  
assembly where the liquid crystal layer is located. The polarized  
light passing through the liquid crystal is modulated (changing the  
polarity of the light waves), in accordance with whatever image is  
on the input side of the ILA® assembly.  
The axis of the polarized light is proportional to the brightness on  
the input side of the ILA® assembly. When the photoconductor on  
the input side is not illuminated, the liquid crystal does not rotate  
the polarized light from the Arc Lamp. No light passes through the  
prism and the screen is dark. When the input side is fully  
illuminated, the liquid crystal rotates the polarized light 90° from a  
horizontal direction to a vertical direction. Ninety nine percent  
(99%) of the light entering the ILA® assembly is reflected and  
passes through the prism resulting in a white screen.  
The modulated high-intensity light is reflected back out of the  
output side of the ILA® assembly, through the Prism and the  
Projection Lens and onto the screen. (see Figure 2-19).

Refer to Figures 4-1 and 4-11 to locate assemblies and components. For a  
complete list of tools required to perform adjustments, refer to Chapter 1.  
CAUTION! Before performing procedures in this chapter, review the chapter  
on Safety at the beginning of this manual.  
WARNING!!! When performing procedures in this  
chapter that require the projector covers to be removed, wear high voltage gloves  
(ANSI/ASTM 10,000 volt rated) when working near the CRTs, Arc Lamp, or power  
supplies. Wear safety goggles (rated X5) when working anywhere near the light  
path from the arc lamp or the projection lens.  
3.1 Arc Lamp Focus and Alignment  
The Arc Lamp must be refocused and the XY axes realigned  
whenever an Arc Lamp is replaced. The Arc Lamp can also  
become defocused or misaligned from physical shock to the  
projector.  
1. Select and view Red, Green, and Blue.  
2. Select Test Pattern 4, Flat Field.  
Model 200 Service Manual  
3-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Chapter 3 Service Adjustments  
3. Use the right/left arrow keys on the remote control and adjust  
the Flat Field to 0%.  
4. From the System menu, select Maintenance, then select #3,  
ILA® Bias. Record the ILA® Bias current value (the Green bias  
will be readable). This bias value will be returned to when this  
procedure is complete. The Green value only need be recorded  
because Red and Blue returns to their original values when  
Green is reset.  
5. Use the right arrow key to increase the ILA® Bias so the Flat  
Field turns white. If the screen begins to turn from white to a  
yellow-tinge, use the left arrow and adjust the bias back until an  
all white flat field is observed. The flat field screen must be  
white to properly perform the arc lamp focus and alignment.  
6. Loosen the large flathead screw (½ turn CCW) at the bottom of  
the Arc Lamp cover (Figure 4-2), and lift the cover.  
7. Defocus the Arc Lamp by turning the Focus Adjust Screw (see  
Figure 3-1) until a bright, circular area (see Figure 3-2) is  
achieved. This is the Arc Lamp’s “hot spot.” The sides, top, and  
bottom areas will taper off in brightness. When performing  
defocus, do not attempt to narrow the circle too much-try to  
obtain a uniform circular area.  
Figure 3-1. Arc Lamp Focus adjustments.  
8. Loosen the 4 X-axis (horizontal) alignment screws (indicated by  
the letter H inside the screw heads in Figure 3-1).

Figure 3-2. Arc Lamp “Hot Spot” (whitest area) is off-center vertically  
and horizontally. Adjust to center the “hot spot”.  
9. Insert a flathead screwdriver into one of the horizontal  
alignment slots shown in Figure 3-1 and pry back and forth to  
slide the plate. Center the “hot spot” horizontally.  
10. Tighten the 4 horizontal alignment screws.  
11. Loosen the 2 vertical alignment screws indicated by the letter V  
inside the screw heads in Figure 3-1.  
12. Use a flathead screwdriver in the vertical alignment slots,  
shown in Figure 3-1, to pry the vertical plate up or down so that  
the “hot spot” is centered vertically.  
13. Tighten the 2 vertical alignment screws.  
14. Adjust the focus screw for overall brightness from the center to  
the edges with a minimum of rolloff. NOTE: Rolloff is the  
gradual difference in brightness from the center of the screen  
to the edges. Ensure the bright area extends to the edges of  
the screen but not over the edges. If possible, use a light  
meter to perform this step. If using a light meter, try to achieve  
a rolloff of no more than 4:1 to the screen corners. The darker  
areas in each of the corners should be balanced evenly.  
15. When the Arc Lamp is focused over the entire screen area and  
balanced vertically and horizontally, reset the Green ILA® bias  
to original value.

3.2 Arc Lamp Current Setting  
The Arc Lamp current must be set whenever an Arc Lamp or Arc  
Lamp Power Supply is replaced. Routinely recheck current about  
every 500 hours of operation. This procedure is performed using  
two DVMs, for convenience, but can be performed with one DVM  
by moving the leads back and forth between the two test points  
mentioned and changing the scale ranges on the DVM.  
To perform the Arc Lamp Current Setting:  
1. Verify that power is off to the projector, or turn power off with  
the remote (it is not necessary for the circuit breaker to be off).  
2. Place a DVM (set to read up to 200VDC) across the Arc Lamp  
DC INPUT ± terminals, J74, (Figure 3-3).  
3. Turn projector power on.  
Figure 3-3. Arc Lamp Power Supply connections.  
4. Place another DVM, set to read at least 200 millivolts dc,  
across the test points inside the small rectangular aperture,  
near the upper left of the Arc Lamp Power Supply cover (see  
Figure 3-4). NOTE: This test point reads millivolts across a  
shunt that has been selected so that a 1 millivolt reading on the  
DVM is equal to 1 amp of Arc Lamp current.

Adjust the Arc  
Lamp current  
with this pot.  
Place the  
second DVM,  
from Step 3,  
across these  
terminals.  
Figure 3-4. Arc Lamp Power Supply aperture.  
5. Multiply the results from Step 2 and Step 3 together (Bear in  
mind that the millivolt reading from Step 3 should be interpreted  
as amps, i.e. 1millivolt=1 amp).  
6. The resulting power from Step 4 should equal 750 watts.  
7. If the result is not 750 watts, adjust the trimmer pot (refer to  
Figure 3-4). CW=increase, CCW=decrease. If increasing,  
notice that the Arc Lamp voltage from Step 2 may decrease  
slightly. Adjust the trimmer pot until power is 750 watts.  
CAUTION! Do not adjust beyond 775 watts or damage to the  
equipment may occur.  
3.3 Electronic Module Tilt-up  
1. Remove the rear cover (Section 4.2).  
2. Release the clasp on the left side of the electronic module (turn  
CCW and pull out).  
3. Pull out the release pin on the rear-right side of the electronic  
module to tilt it up. Tilt the electronic module up to a vertical  
position.  
4. Ensure the holding pin locks the electronic module in place.  
3.4 ILA® Back Focus  
The ILA® Back Focus adjustment moves the ILA®/Relay Lens/CRT  
assemblies together to adjust the focal length. This adjustment  
allows the zoom lens’ tracking to remain focused throughout the  
entire range. Use Focus test pattern to perform this adjustment for  
each color. This procedure performs the Green ILA® Back Focus.  
For best results, perform ILA® Back Focus with 2 people. One  
person will watch the screen close-up and the other will move the  
ILA®/Relay Lens/CRT assemblies back and forth. The adjustment  
is factory-set but may need some touch-up in the field.  
To adjust the ILA® Back Focus:  
1. Remove the rear cover (Section 4.2).  
2. Tilt the Electronic Module up (Section 3.3).  
3. For this procedure, view Green. Hide Red and Blue.

4. Select the Focus test pattern.  
5. Select Projection Lens from the menu.  
6. Use the up/down arrow keys to zoom the Projection Lens to full  
telephoto position (smallest image). NOTE: Skip this step when  
using an optional fixed lens.  
7. Use left and right arrow keys to focus the projection lens to get  
sharply focused spacer balls. NOTE 1: Spacer balls are used  
inside the ILA® Assembly to separate the layers. They are tiny,  
random, irregularly-shaped spots that are visible throughout the  
image. Look directly in front of the screen in the lighter areas of  
the image to view. From throw distances shorter than 4 meters,  
spacer balls are difficult to see.  
8. Zoom the lens to a wide angle position (largest image). NOTE:  
Skip this step when using an optional fixed lens.  
9. Put on safety gloves (see Safety section for gloves type) then  
loosen the wing nut on the Green Relay Lens (or whichever  
lens is being focused). NOTE: If the ILA®/Relay Lens/CRT  
assembly cannot be moved close enough to get a good spacer  
ball focus, loosen the CRT Lens Stopper Ring in front of the  
CRT Holder Ring (Figure 3-5). Move the CRT snug against the  
collar to get additional range, and then, retighten the collar.  
10. Loosen the 2 hex bolts (Figure 4-12) on the ILA® assembly in  
front of the Relay Lens.  
11. Slide the Relay Lens/CRT/ILA® assembly forward or backward  
until the sharpest spacer ball focus is achieved. NOTE: Do not  
use the zoom lens focus while performing this step.  
12. Repeat Steps 6-11 until the spacer balls stay in focus through  
the entire zoom range. The spacer balls may go slightly out of  
focus in spots while zooming up or down, but they should be in  
focus at the smallest and largest images.  
13. Tighten the hex bolts on the Green ILA® Assembly and the  
wing nut on the Green Relay Lens.  
14. Repeat Steps 6-11 above for any other assembly needing ILA®  
Back Focusing. Be sure to hide the other 2 colors.  
NOTE: The CRT Mechanical Focus procedure (Section 3.5) is often  
performed sequentially with the CRT Rotation procedure (Section 3.6). The  
same two set screws (Figure 3-5) are loosened when doing either of these  
procedures. When performing the procedures in sequence, ensure the two set  
screws are secure when either the focus lock screw or the CRT thumbscrew is  
tightened after finishing each adjustment. Do not leave the set screws loose  
when securing either the focus lock screw or the CRT thumbscrew. Turning

The CRT Mechanical focus is factory-set and will not normally  
require adjustment. When a CRT is replaced, the CRT mechanical  
focus must be reset. Adjust colors individually. After completing,  
recheck other colors for additional adjustment. Replacing the CRT  
could cause other colors to become misadjusted. Use the Focus  
test pattern (an external signal or other test patterns can also be  
used) for adjustment.  
To adjust the CRT Mechanical Focus:  
1. Remove the rear cover (Section 4.2)  
2. Tilt the Electronic Module to the upright position (Section 3.3).  
3. Select the Focus test pattern.  
3. Zoom the Projection Lens to the widest angle (largest image)  
and adjust the Projection Lens focus for the sharpest image of  
the Focus test pattern.  
4. Tilt the Electronic Module up (Section 3.3).  
5. Loosen the two set screws (Figure 3-5) near the top of the CRT  
sleeve.  
6. Loosen the CRT focus lock screw located on the Guide Plate at  
the top of the CRT shield (Figure 3-5). The CRT is now free to  
slide.  
7. Grasp the CRT thumbscrew (Figure 3-5) and slide the CRT  
back and forth until the image is focused as sharply as possible  
(be careful not to loosen the CRT thumbscrew which could  
cause the CRT to rotate).  
8. Tighten the set screws first, then the CRT focus lock screw.  
NOTE: Tighten set screws before focus lock screw. The focus  
lock screw can slightly defocus or rotate the CRT as it is being  
tightened if the set screws are loose.  
9. Repeat the above steps for the Red and Blue CRTs.

3.6 CRT Rotation  
The CRT tilt adjustment aligns the CRT level with the screen. This  
is a factory-set adjustment and should not need adjusting unless  
the CRT or yoke is moved.  
Remove the rear cover (Section 4.2) and tilt the electronic module  
up (Sections 3.3).  
1. Select Test Pattern 8, Center/Lin.  
2. View the color for the CRT that requires rotation. Hide the other  
2 colors.  
3. In the Geometry menu, set “Reg Enable” to off by unchecking  
the box. Unchecking the Reg Enable box temporarily disables  
any convergence corrections that have been performed with a  
different CRT/Yoke assembly and sets these values to the  
default levels so that CRT Rotation can be accomplished  
correctly.

Chapter 3---Service Adjustments  
4. In the Geometry menu, access Bow, Skew, Pincushion, and  
Keystone. Note the values for each setting. After recording  
values, set each to the default level of 128 (For Skew, select  
the color of the CRT that is to be rotated-the other functions are  
not color-selectable). This is done so that the CRT Rotation can  
be properly performed without the influence of any previous  
corrections made for these adjustments.  
5. Loosen the 2 set screws (Figure 3-5) near the top of the CRT  
sleeve.  
6. Loosen the CRT Thumbscrew (Figure 3-5) on the top of the  
CRT Assembly.  
7. Tilt the yoke by grasping the Thumbscrew and moving it in  
whichever direction it takes to make the CRT raster square.  
8. When the CRT raster is square on the screen, tighten the 2 set  
screws first, then the CRT thumbscrew.  
9. In the Geometry menu, toggle the Reg Enable box back to On.  
10. Reset Bow, Pincushion, Keystone, and Skew (select proper  
color for Skew) to the values noted previously in Step 4.  
11. Recheck Bow, Pincushion, Keystone, and Skew and readjust if  
necessary. Also recheck Convergence (refer to the Model 200  
User’s Guide).  
12. Repeat the above procedure for any other CRT that is not level.  
3.7 CRT Electronic Focus  
The Electronic Focus is factory-set and will not normally need to be  
adjusted except after component replacement, maintenance, or if  
wide temperature variations exist between the factory and the field  
location. View one color at a time.  
1. Select the Focus test pattern.  
2. Zoom the Projection Lens to the widest angle and adjust the  
Projection Lens focus for the sharpest image.  
3. View Green. Hide Red and Blue.  
4. Adjust the Green Electronic Focus (Figure 3-6) for a sharp  
focus of the H pattern at the center of the screen.  
5. Repeat the above steps for Red and Blue.

3.8 ILA® Overlap  
This adjustment positions the ILA® assemblies in their sockets.  
Adjustment should only be made once or whenever an ILA® is  
replaced.  
To determine if this adjustment is necessary:  
1. Note the value of the ILA® bias for Red, Green and Blue so  
they can be returned to these levels when this procedure is  
complete.  
2. Hide all three colors.  
3. Increase the ILA® biases to maximum for all 3 colors. With all 3  
colors at maximum, the image on the screen should be a white  
screen with some colors at the edges.  
4. Observe the right, left, top, and bottom of the screen. Normally,  
green is the reference to which blue and red will be matched.  
(NOTE: If the green ILA® was replaced, the blue or red image  
should be used as the reference to which green is matched.) If  
a red or blue border is present on either side or at the top or  
bottom the ILA® overlap needs adjustment. If both red and blue  
overlap, the border will be yellow. In either case, proceed with  
the adjustment below. If there is no overlap, reset the ILA®  
biases to their previous levels from Step 2.  
To perform an ILA® Overlap adjustment:  
Remove the rear cover (Section 4.2) and tilt the electronic module  
up (Sections 3.3).  
1. Continue with all three colors hidden.  
2. Loosen the 2 wing nuts at the top of the ILA® assembly to be  
adjusted (Figure 4-12).  
3. If the overlap is at the left or right, grasp the ILA® assembly and  
slide it to the right or left so that the edges coincide with the  
edges of the other two ILA® assemblies. CAUTION! To avoid

Chapter 3---Service Adjustments  
damaging the connector, grasp the ILA® assembly itself, not  
the connector at the top.  
4. If the overlap is at the top or bottom, be sure the projector is  
level, then slide the spring clip (Figure 4-12) at the top of the  
ILA® assembly backward and remove the ILA® assembly (it will  
slide out with some resistance). There are two adjustment  
screws at the bottom of the ILA® assembly which allow for up  
and down movement. Turn these screws in or out very slightly  
to allow the ILA® to seat lower or higher, whichever is needed.  
5. Reinstall the ILA® assembly and replace the spring clip.  
6. Repeat Step 4 if adjustment is still needed.  
7. Retighten the 2 wing nuts.  
8. Reset the ILA® biases to their previous levels from Step 2.  
3.9 Front/Rear or Inverted Projection Jumper Settings  
3.9.1 Front/Rear Jumper Setting (Horizontal Reverse)  
The Horizontal Scan Reversal Jumper reverses the image  
projection for front or rear projection. Figure 3-7 illustrates the  
jumpers’ location on the Scan Reversal Board, and the proper  
location for front and rear projection.  
The projector is shipped with the jumper plugs inserted in J50 and  
J100 for front projection. For a rear projection setup, these jumpers  
must be inserted into JA50 and J101.  
HORIZ SIZE COILS  
Figure 3-7. Scan Reversal Board.  
To set the Horizontal Scan Jumper:  
1. Turn power off at the projector and wait for the arc lamp to cool.  
Model 200 Service Manual  
3-11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Chapter 3 Service Adjustments  
2. Remove the projector rear cover (Section 4.2).  
3. Verify that the jumper is plugged into JA50 and J101 for rear  
projection or J50 and J100 for front projection (See Figure 3-7).  
Change jumper if necessary.  
4. Replace the projector cover.  
5. When changing jumpers for front or rear screen projection,  
Centering, convergence and shading must be rechecked.  
3.9.2 Inverted Vertical Jumper Setting  
The Ceiling/Floor jumpers invert the image vertically for use in  
situations using mirrors or ceiling projections. Figure 3-7 illustrates  
the location of the jumpers on the Scan Reversal Board and  
indicates the proper location for ceiling or floor projection. The  
Model 200 Projector is shipped in the normal vertical projection  
position with the jumper plug inserted into J53. For an inverted  
vertical setup this jumper plug must be inserted into J53A. (Refer to  
Figure 3-7).  
To invert the vertical image:  
1. Turn power off at the projector and wait for the arc lamp to cool.  
2. Remove the projector rear cover (Section 4.2).  
3. Tilt the electronic module up (Section 3.3).  
4. Verify that the vertical jumper is inserted in the correct jacks for  
appropriate application, (see Figure 3-7). Change jumpers if  
necessary.  
5. Replace the electronic module and rear cover.  
6. When changing jumpers for floor or ceiling screen projection,  
Centering, convergence and shading will need to be rechecked.  
3.10 Vertical and Horizontal Size Settings  
Adjust the vertical height pots and horizontal size coils when  
replacing the Horizontal/Vertical Deflection board, Scan Reversal  
board, or CRT/Yoke assembly. They may also be needed when the  
convergence adjustment procedures fail to bring the colors into  
convergence.

Chapter 3---Service Adjustments  
Vertical height pots.  
Figure 3-8. Horizontal/Vertical Deflection Board.  
To adjust the Vertical height (see Figure 3-8):  
Remove the rear cover (Section 4.2).  
1. Select Test Pattern 5, X-hatch.  
NOTE: Green is the master to which Red and Blue will be  
matched. The Green height pot should not need adjustment  
except when the Green CRT assembly has been replaced.  
2. Hide Blue and view Red and Green.  
3. If Red is higher than Green at the top and lower than Green at  
the bottom of the X-hatch image, or If lower than Green at the  
top and higher at the bottom, adjust Red vertical pot to correct  
the error.  
If Red is higher than Green at the top and bottom, or lower than  
Green at the top and bottom, this is most likely caused by Red  
not being centered correctly and can be corrected with the  
centering adjustment (User’s Guide, Section 5.5.11).  
If the Red height pot does not completely eliminate the  
difference in height between Red and Green, balance the error  
at the top and bottom. Too much of an error at the top or  
bottom makes convergence procedures harder to accomplish.  
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 above for Blue while hiding Red.  
5. Recheck all Geometry and Convergence settings (see User’s  
Guide) and readjust wherever necessary.

Chapter 3 Service Adjustments  
To adjust the horizontal size coils (see Figure 3-7):  
1. Continue to use Test Pattern 5, X-hatch.  
2. Hide Blue. View Red and Green.  
3. If Red is outside of Green on both sides, or inside of Green on  
both sides, use a Delrin .100 hex alignment tool to adjust the  
Red horizontal size coil to correct the error. If Red is outside of  
Green on one side and inside of Green on the other side, this is  
most likely caused by Red not being centered correctly and can  
be corrected with the centering adjustment (User’s Guide,  
Section 5.5.11).  
If the Red horizontal size coil does not completely eliminate the  
size error between Red and Green, balance the error on both  
sides to allow for easier convergence.  
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 above for Blue while hiding Red.  
5. Recheck all Geometry and Convergence settings and readjust  
wherever necessary.  
6. Replace the electronic module and rear cover.  
3.11 Software Updating

3.12 Cleaning Lenses, ILA® Assemblies and Mirrors  
The projection lens is the only item that will require periodic  
cleaning. The other assemblies are covered to prevent dust from  
entering or finger smudges. Cleaning may be needed due to  
special circumstances such as replacing the assembly or an  
adjacent assembly. Cleaning should only require removing  
excessive dust (use canned compressed air such as “Office  
Duster” or Aero Duster) or removing fingerprint smudges (use  
“Kodak Lens paper”, or equivalent) from the projection lens. As  
much as possible, clean the optics only when absolutely  
necessary.

Chapter 3 Service Adjustments  
Projection Lens: Use lens paper and wipe the lens clean in a  
vertical motion from top to bottom. Use compressed air to blow  
excess dust from the lens. An optical lens cleaning solution can  
also be used to remove finger smudges.  
ILA® Assembly: Clean the ILA® assembly faces with compressed  
air only. Do not wipe the ILA assembly faces.  
CRT Faces: Use compressed air to blow dust off and lens paper  
to clean face.  
Relay Lens: Same as Projection Lens.  
Mirrors and Polarizing Beam Splitter Windows: The Optical  
Shield covers the Dichroic Mirror Assembly (X-Frame) and  
Polarizing Beam Splitter windows. Normal cleaning is not required.  
Clean only if absolutely necessary using compressed air. Do not  
wipe mirrors.

Chapter 4---Maintenance (Removal/Replacement)  
WARNING!!!  
Various procedures in this  
chapter involve the removal and replacement of system  
subassemblies. Ensure that the circuit breaker on the rear  
panel of the projector is turned off and the AC power plug is  
removed from the AC outlet PRIOR to attempting any of these  
procedures.  
When performing any maintenance procedures in this chapter,  
follow the guidelines below:  
Left/Right Orientation: When left and right is mentioned in this  
chapter, it is with reference to standing at the rear of the projector,  
facing the screen.  
Connectors on subassemblies and PCBs have tabs that must be  
released first before pulling on the connector. The proper  
procedure is to push slightly IN on the connector, then squeeze  
the tab, then pull the connector out.  
Power off: After turning power off with the remote, wait until the  
Arc Lamp cooling fans have stopped running, then toggle the  
projector circuit breaker on the rear panel to OFF and disconnect  
the power cord (allow a discharge time of at least a minute for the  
high voltage to bleed off before removing the power plug).  
NOTE: While performing any maintenance procedures, check the  
prism diaphragm for dryness, crazing, cracking, or possible  
leaking. If any problems are observed, call HJT.  
When references are made to assemblies or components in this  
chapter, refer to Figures 4-1 and 4-11 for locations.

any of the internal components of the projector when  
removing the cover. If any undue resistance is felt, stop  
to locate the source before proceeding.  
6. Replace the covers in reverse order from above. When  
replacing either cover, make sure the slot in the cover  
fits over the bottom of the projector case or the cover  
will not close correctly.  
4.3 Air Filters  
Air filters should be cleaned whenever necessary. In extremely  
dusty or dirty conditions, the filters should be cleaned more  
frequently. Remove the filters and vacuum them or blow them

8. CAUTION! For the Green CRT/Yoke Assembly only,  
this step is best performed with the Green CRT still  
connected to the CRT socket connector and the ground  
wire still connected from the CRT to the socket connector.  
This is because the Green socket connector is close to  
the rear of the projector and is easier to disconnect from  
the CRT after the CRT/Yoke Assembly is loose and is  
moved away from the rear. Be careful not to break any of  
these connections.  
Gently remove the CRT/Yoke Assembly by sliding it  
backward and upward as far as possible before  
unplugging the CRT socket connector from the neck. Use  
caution to avoid bumping the CRT/Yoke Assembly as it is

readjustment.  
4.18 Prism Assembly  
CAUTION! The removal of the Prism Assembly  
requires removing the Dichroic Mirror Assembly (X-Plate). In most  
cases this necessitates an optical realignment. HJT does not  
recommend performing this replacement in the field. Optical  
alignment is critical and requires projector power to be on. This  
results in an additional safety hazard due to the high intensity light  
beam emanating from the optical area with the optical cover off. If  
removal and replacement is absolutely necessary, proceed with  
extreme caution and wear safety glasses.  
The Prism Assembly requires the removal of more components and  
assemblies than any of the other assemblies. Be sure to have  
storage cabinets or tables to house the various items as they are  
removed to provide access to the Prism Assembly. Allow about 3-4  
hours to perform the removal and replacement of the Prism  
Assembly. Refer to Figures 4-1 and 4-11 for the assemblies  
referenced in this procedure.

Model 200 Configuration Data Export / Import Procedure  
Rev 1.0.0  
This appendix defines the steps to perform a Configuration Data Export & Import from the Model 200  
projector to a Host Computer. The Host Computer can be any system that has RS232 download and upload  
capability, including an IBM-PC compatible, an Apple MacIntosh, or a UNIX system. This paper describes  
the procedures for an IBM-PC running the Windows 3.1 OS. We will use the Windows “TERMINAL”  
application for communication with the projector. Other Terminal emulation programs can be used  
(ProComm, .), but all testing has been done with the TERMINAL application.  
Note 1: The TERMINAL application setup is the same as for controlling the projector via an ANSI  
TERMINAL (see Model 200 User’s Guide, Section 4.11).  
Note 2: Export/Import can be performed on either Port A or Port B. The Port must be configured for  
ANSI Terminal. Port A speed is determined by DIP SWITCH #4 on the System Controller board. DOWN  
is 9600 baud, UP is 19200 Baud. Port B can be configured for 2400, 9600 (default), or 19200 through the  
Comm Setup Menu. If both Port A and Port B are ANSI Terminals, PORT A must be used for  
Export/Import, so to use Port B, set Port A Device = None or Switcher, Port B Device = ANSI.  
Remember to Power Off (Control+P) and HW RESET (Push RESET button -figure 5-1 in Service  
Manual- or Circuit Breaker-on rear panel) after changing any configuration parameters.  
WARNING: If you use 19200 Baud, your computer must have a 16550 UART installed on the Comm  
Port. An unbuffered 8550 UART will lose data during EXPORT. This data loss cannot be detected until a  
later IMPORT is attempted. Use 9600 if you are not sure. In all cases use SOFTWARE FLFOW  
CONTROL (XON/XOFF).  
WARNING: Laptop computer users must disable Advance Power Management (APM) during an Export.  
APM power pulling causes loss of data.  
EXPORT  
1.  
2.  
Make sure the Windows TERMINAL program is configured for SOFTWARE FLOW CONTROL  
(XON/XOFF). A corrupt Export file will result if SW flow control is not used.  
Choose the directory and filename for saving the Export Data. The Windows TERMINAL:  
Transfers: Receive Text File... dialog box will default to the c:\windows directory and no file.  
Create a directory (like \TEMP) (or have an existing one in mind) before starting the export  
process.

Glossary Of Terms  
Amorphous  
Arc Lamp  
Without definite form; not crystallized.  
The xenon arc lamp in the Model 200 projector. It  
operates at high temperatures (160° to 200°) and  
produces dangerously intensive light with  
hazardous levels of ultraviolet and infrared  
radiation.  
Aspect Ratio  
Bandwidth  
The ratio of the picture width to picture height.  
The standard U.S. television aspect ratio is four  
units wide to three units high (4:3). High Definition  
Television (HDTV) is 16:9.  
The transmission or reception capacity of a  
computer or communications channel measured  
in bits per second in digital and in Hertz in  
communications. Bandwidth is the difference  
between the lowest and highest frequencies  
transmitted or received. Wider bandwidth  
provides more information or picture detail  
capability.  
Chrominance  
Cold Mirror  
Abbreviated as "C." Color information signal or  
signals.  
Mirror that absorbs infrared light so that its  
reflection contains only "cold' light that does not  
transmit appreciable heat. As a result of this  
absorption of infrared heat radiation, "cold"  
mirrors get quite hot.  
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)  
Dichroic Mirrors  
The vacuum tube used as a display screen in  
video terminals or television sets. Commonly  
called the picture tube.  
The white light of the xenon arc lamp is separated  
into red, green and blue by means of dichroic  
mirrors which reflect only one color and pass all  
others.  
Field  
One half of a complete video frame. Odd lines in  
one field and even lines in another make up one  
frame.  
Frame  
One complete TV picture or screen of  
information. It is composed of two fields and has

Glossary  
a total of 525 scanning lines in NTSC  
transmission.  
Horizontal Scan  
Reverses the image projection for front or rear  
projection. Located on the Horizontal Deflection  
Board.  
Reversal Jumper  
Horizontal Size Coils  
Hot Spot  
Adjusting coils on the Scan Reversal Board. Used  
to adjust the horizontal size (width).  
The Arc Lamp’s brightest area on the screen.  
Used to align and focus the Arc Lamp.  
Hue  
Also referred to as tint. A specific color such a  
blue, pink or aqua. Hue or tint control on a  
display device adjusts red/green balance.  
Ignitor  
Provides a momentary high voltage to excite the  
gases in the Xenon Arc Lamp to ignite.  
Image Light Amplifier  
ILA®  
A device that uses low-intensity images to phase  
modulate a high-intensity light through a liquid  
crystal layer. It is a key component in  
producing very bright, high resolution images  
from Hughes-JVC large-screen projectors.  
Image Mirror  
Interlacing  
Directs the blue and red images toward the  
Combining Prism.  
The technique that refreshes a display screen by  
alternately displaying all the odd lines (field one)  
and then all the even lines (field two) of one  
frame.  
I/R Windows  
The Series 200 Projector has two I/R windows,  
one in front, one in back. These windows receive  
projector control signals from the I/R remotes.  
Lamphouse Dock  
Laser Power Supply  
Lumen  
The housing that contains the Ignitor, the Laser  
Power Supply, and the Arc Lamp assembly.  
Provides boost voltage through a spark gap to the  
Ignitor.  
A unit of measure of the flow, or rate of emission,  
of light. An ordinary wax candle generates 13  
lumens while a 100 watt bulb generates 1,200  
lumens.

Glossary  
Luminance  
Abbreviated as "Y." The portion of the signal that  
contains the black and white information, which  
affects brightness.  
Noise  
An undesirable electrical interference of a signal.  
Overscanning  
Displaying less than the complete area of an  
image to a viewer (i.e., scanning beyond the  
visible area). All TV sets are overscanned at  
least slightly, so that viewers do not see blanking.  
Raster  
The area illuminated by the scan lines on a CRT.  
Resolution  
The degree of sharpness of a displayed or printed  
character or image; the amount of detail in a  
picture. On a display screen, resolution is  
expressed as the number of horizontal dots  
(columns) by the number of vertical lines (rows).  
For example, a 680 x 400 resolution means 680  
dots across each of 400 lines.  
Retrace  
The blanked-out line traced by the scanning  
beam of a picture tube as it travels from the end  
of any horizontal line to the beginning of either  
the next horizontal line or field. The beam is  
turned "off" during retrace.  
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)  
Refers to the method of recording and generating  
colors in a video system. On a television or color  
monitor, colors are displayed as varying  
intensities of red, green and blue dots. When  
red, green and blue are all turned on high, white  
is produced. When all dots are turned off, the  
base color of the screen appears.  
Rollbar Assembly  
S-VHS  
Assembly where the front and rear cover are  
hinged to. Used to hold covers in place.  
A high band video recording process for VHS that  
increases picture quality and resolution capability.  
S-VHS tape machines use a special output  
terminal which allows separate output of  
luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) picture  
information to monitors equipped with S-Video  
inputs.  
S-Video  
A video signal that has the luminance (Y)  
information separated from chrominance (C)  
information.

Glossary  
Saturated Color  
1) A color as far from white, black or gray as it  
can be (i.e., vermilion rather than pink). 2) A  
display misadjustment that results in unnaturally  
bright colors.  
Scan  
To scan is to move across a picture frame a line  
at a time, either to detect the image, as in an  
analog or digital camera, or to refresh a CRT-  
based video screen.  
Scan Line  
Scan Rate  
One of many horizontal lines in a graphics frame.  
The frequency of line scanning for a monitor or  
projector.  
Synchronization  
Also called "sync" for short. Working together. At  
the same time, horizontal and vertical sync  
signals from the signal source control the  
monitor's scan circuits to properly time the lines  
and frames of a picture.  
Technician Remote  
Remote control used during Series 200 setup and  
adjustment. Alternative to Standard Remote.  
Provides access to many of the setup functions  
by direct keys instead of by menu maneuvering.  
Throw  
Distance to the screen from the projector.  
Underscan  
Decrease raster size H and V so that all four  
edges of the picture are visible on the display.  
Vertical Height Pots  
Vertical Resolution  
Potentiometers located on the Horizontal/Vertical  
Deflection Board. Used to adjust Vertical height.  
The amount of detail that can be perceived in the  
vertical direction; the maximum number of  
alternating white and black horizontal lines that  
can be counted from the top of the picture to the  
bottom.  
Vertical Scan Frequency  
(V-Freq)  
The vertical scan frequency of the input signal.  
Vertical Scan  
Reversal Jumper  
Reverses the image vertically for use with ceiling  
displays or mirror-bounced displays. Located on  
the Scan Reversal Board.  
Vertical Synchronization  
Frequency  
The number of times per second a frame is  
transmitted to a video display screen.
