PHONOLA 66K6720/38Z (PHILIPS 26C870 GOYA ROYAL.) (PHILIPS K12) YEAR 1979.

The PHONOLA (PHILIPS) 66K6720/38Z was a top flagship in 1979.


It's a 26 inches color television with interesting unique features :

- HIFI 20W Sound box with tone control capability via keyboard or even remote.

AUDIO MODULE:
The design of a suitable audio output system for a television receiver presents a delicate question : should the quality aimed at be the best possible in order to give full justice to the transmitted sound or should the quality be satisfactory for the majority of viewers and little else? The problem is not really one of cost if an extra few pounds could result in hi-fi performance there would be little argument about which way to proceed. Unfortunately however the conventional television receiver as a sound reproducer inevitably leaves a lot to be desired. Although a reasonably sized cabinet could be made in order to incorporate a loudspeaker enclosure of hi-fi dimensions a television set is not really suitable for levels of reproduction. The power considered necessary for hi-fi results is at least 8-10 watts: this would inevitably lead to microphony in a television set particularly in the shadowmask tube. There is little point therefore in striving towards the design of a perfect audio output stage, although provision should we feel be made to enable the audio signal to be extracted to drive an external hi-fi system. The drive level available for the audio module is about 23mV (as noted in part 4) and for reasonable reproduction we would like some 2.5 to 3 watts. Commercial receivers average around 2 watts at the time and this is probably a little too low to give a reasonable dynamic range for trahsients. To get 2.5-3W using discrete circuitry we would probably need a five transistor amplifier with coupling, bias, load and feedback components plus a specially designed printed circuit board and suitable heat sinks. The total cost would be higher. It was therefore decided to use an integrated circuit amplifier instead though selection is rather limited for the gain required.

- Programmable realtime clock timer and time display even in off condition.

- Headphone audio Jack.

- Automatic feature for Startup of the tellye from St-By condition at a programmed timed on a prefixed program like a clock radio but tellye. The Automatic feature for Startup of the tellye from St-By condition at a programmed timed on a prefixed program like a clock radio but tellye.The television receiver is provided with a timer  setting a start time and an end time of a desired program of television broadcast and a receiver section  whose operation is controlled by the timer and remote.Such equipment included clock mechanisms and specialized electronic circuits adapted for automaticturn on and of the tv set according to user presets.In general these prior art devices and apparatus employ complicated electronic circuits.

- Featuring a Contrast dimmer device responsive to room light quantity switchable with a switch, it is an ambient light sensor which drives, in opportune, way the contrast tracking of the picture as a function of the light in the room were the tellye is running; more particularly to a control system for maintaining proper balance between room lighting conditions and the level of picture tube excitation in a color television receiver. More especially the present invention functions to increase contrast, intensity and chroma signal strength when the room lighting level increases to diminish these parameters when the level of room lighting decreases.

Conventional television receivers, of course, have manually operable controls by means of which a viewer may set the level of contrast, intensity, and chroma signal strength to what he feels to be an optimum level for given room lighting conditions. Under changed room lighting conditions, the viewer will obtain the optimum viewing situation by changing these manual controls to a new preferred level.

- Osd screen for program number and channel selection.The present invention relates generally to a television receiver and more particularly is directed to a television receiver which can indicate the numeral of a channel after the channel is changed.There is proposed a television receiver in which when a channel is changed, the numeral indicative of the channel after the channel is changed is indicated on the screen of a cathode ray tube during a predetermined period. A conventional channel indicator used in such television receiver requires a special LSI (large scale integration) chip to indicate the numeral of the channel. However, such LSI chip requires a substantial investment in time and money from its designing to the completion, and when the designing thereof is changed midway, it is quite difficult to cope with such change.


- The  PHONOLA   66K6720/38Z  (PHILIPS 26C870 GOYA ROYAL.)  (PHILIPS K12)  is featuring first time the TRD1 tuning system and the use of the Texas Instruments TMS1000 .

An other after made model, featuring first time the 30AX CRT Tube and Philips chassis K12i, was presented also in 1979-80,  the PHILIPS 26C970/00R REMBRANDT  with similar features........ see link.


- It incorporates the PHILIPS K12 CHASSIS and  a  PHILIPS 20AX CRT TUBE.

The new tube, to be known as the 20AX, has been developed by PHILIPS in conjunction with the parent Philips / Mullard organisation and will be produced by several Philips subsidiary companies on the Continent as well as by PHILIPS in the UK. PHILIPS envisage quantity production of the tube by 1976, mainly for export at first, with large-scale production for UK set - makers starting in 1977. The tube has been developed as "probably the final phase in the design of the 110° shadowmask tube". Its main features are the use of three guns mounted horizontally in line, the use of a shadow - mask with slots instead of circular holes, and a screen with the phosphors deposited in vertical stripes instead of as a pattern of dot triads. It seems therefore that the days of the present delta gun shadowmask tube are now numbered, though considerable production will have to continue for many years to provide replacement tubes for the millions of colour sets already in use. So far as the viewer is concerned however it is important to appreciate the time scale involved (see above) and the reasons for the development of the new tube. There is nothing wrong with the type of shadow - mask tube we have known since the beginning of colour TV: it is able to provide superb pictures. But in its 110° form it does require rather a lot of scan/convergence correction circuitry. If this can be reduced by means of an alternative approach

as with the 20AX tube  considerable benefits in set production and servicing will be obtained. This has been the aim behind the development of the new tube, and the demonstration tube we have seen operating with its associated deflection yoke and circuitry gave a picture every bit as good as we have come to expect from the present "conventional" approach to colour tube design. There are now four colour tubes with in -line guns, the Sony Trinitron (the first to come along), the RCA /Mazda PIL tube, the Toshiba RIS tube and now the PHILIPS 20AX. It is interesting to compare them. The Trinitron is a 90° narrow neck (29mm) tube. It differs from the others in using an aperture grill (slits from top to bottom) instead of a mask behind the screen to shadow the beams and a tube face which is substantially flat in the vertical plane. On the domestic market it is used exclusively in Sony sets and certainly represented a break through in simplifying the convergence circuitry and setting up adjustments required. The Toshiba RIS (rectangular flare, in-line guns, slotted shadowmask) tube has now turned up in the UK in the recently introduced 18in. Sharp Model C1831H. Its most distinctive feature is the rectangu- lar instead of conical tube flare and the rectangular semi -toroidal scanning yoke which is used with this. It is a 110° thick neck (36mm) tube. The convergence arrangements are fairly simple. The most interesting comparisons however are between the PI tube and the 20AX. The first is a 90° tube of the narrow neck variety and features a toroidal yoke which is cemented to the tube- thus if either is faulty the entire tube/yoke assembly must be replaced. The great advantage is that no dynamic convergence adjustments or circuitry are required. It is at present limited to sizes up to 20in. and the designers say that it is not intended as a successor to the standard shadowmask tube above this size. Its depth compares with 110° tubes because of the simplified gun structure used. The PHILIPS 20AX tube differs from it in several respects. First it is basically a 110° tube which can be produced in a whole range of sizes production of 18, 22 and 26in. versions is proposed so that set  makers can use it with a single chassis for models of various sizes. Secondly it uses saddlewound deflection coils which are separate from though accurately aligned with the tube. And thirdly it is a thick neck tube. Unlike the PI tube in which all the gun electrodes except the cathodes are common to all guns the electrodes of each gun in the 20AX are separately available at the base. This means that in addition to RGB drive to the cathodes the grids are available for blanking and beam limiting and the first anodes for background control setting in the normal manner. In fact PHILIPS emphasised that the new tube is entirely compatible with existing colour set techniques  though the whole convergence system is greatly simplified. The basic idea behind these in line gun, slotted mask tubes is that by mounting the guns horizontally in line the convergence errors are confined to the horizontal plane and by applying an astigmatic deflection field these errors are cancelled. This means that a fair amount of cunning in the design of the deflection yoke is required. A saddlewound yoke is more efficient than a toroidal yoke since the deflection fields are totally enclosed.

 In comparison to current 110° PHILIPS tubes the 20AX requires much the same horizontal deflection power but about twice the vertical deflection power (which can be obtained without trouble from modern semiconductor devices). The use of a separate yoke with a tube of this type means that some dynamic convergence controls are still necessary, in order to match the assemblies. PHILIPS refer to these as "tolerance adjustments" rather than "dynamic convergence controls". About seven are required at present though further work is being done on this and by the time sets with the new tube appear we can expect some reduction. A single pincushion transductor is required instead of the two needed with 110° shadowmask tubes of the present variety. In comparison the PIL  tube requires no dynamic convergence adjustments, only some simple tube neck magnets for static setting up. It is a little less efficient however because of the type of yoke employed. Whatever else happens there is no doubt that the vast majority of colour tubes fitted to TVC sets come 1977 will be of the in line gun, slotted mask, vertical phosphor stripe variety. Two further points made by PHILIPS at their demonstration : first, this type of tube requires less degaussing so that there are worthwhile savings in the amount of copper required for the degaussing coils: secondly their new tube, and in fact all PHILIPS monochrome tubes and shortly their colour tubes as well, will incorporate "instant on" guns which come into operation about  five seconds after the set is switched on instead of the 30 seconds or more taken by present tubes. This instant on feature is based on a new heater/cathode assembly in which the use of mica insulators has been avoided. 

Meanwhile we understand that in addition to RCA and, in the UK, Mazda, ITT and Videocolor SA are to produce PIL tubes. Whilst congratulations all round was appropriate on the successful development of these  tubes it does seem a pity that was about to enter for the first time an era of non compatible colour c.r.t.s.

- TRD (Tuning Remote Digital) RC4 system synthesizer tuning search system which allows perfect automatic search and automatic AFT tuning of each channel for all bands and special channels VHF + S + UHF.

 As improvements continually have been made in television receivers and particularly referring to models the like here in the post, the number of adjustments which must be made by the viewer have been substantially reduced. One adjustment, however, which still remains in most receivers is a fine tuning adjustment. Such an adjustment is required even with receivers having automatic fine tuning (AFT or AFC) systems in them. With respect to the VHF channels, the fine tuning adjustment generally is made only when the receiver is first put into operation and then infrequently afterwards as components of the receiver age. For UHF channels, however, a fine tuning adjustment generally is required each time the UHF station is tuned in by the viewer. This is annoying and it is desirable to eliminate the need to such a fine tuning adjustment.
It is desirable to employ channel selection systems in television receivers which permit direct selection of channels without the necessity of tuning through unused or unwanted channels to arrive at the desired channel. Many techniques have been suggested for accomplishing this. Most such direct select tuning systems employ a push button keyboard of the type commonly found in hand-held calculators or push button telephones to select the channel numbers. Decoding logic then is employed to change the keyboard information for selecting the channel into a form which effects the desired tuning of the receiver.
An ideal system for converting keyboarded direct select channel information into a usable control signal for tuning the receiver is a frequency synthesizer tuning system. Generally, this is accomplished by employing a programmable frequency divider between the output of the local oscillator or tuning oscillator of the receiver and one input to a phase comparator. The other input to the phase comparator is obtained from the output of a reference oscillator; and the output of the phase comparator comprises a tuning voltage which is used to control the frequency of the local oscillator. The division ratio of the programmable frequency divider is selected directly by the channel selection keyboard. Theoretically, this type of system is ideal for eliminating the need for fine tuning adjustments of a television receiver, so long as the reference oscillator is a highly stable oscillator. But even with a highly stable reference oscillator, frequency synthesizer systems fail to maintain proper tuning of television receivers in all cases, primarily because the signals from transmitting stations are not precisely maintained at the proper frequencies.
Thus, even with frequency synthesizer systems, it is necessary to employ an AFT or AFC circuit to take care of minor mistuning variations. For the most part, a conventional AFT system having a ±1 mHz pull-in range will be sufficient for a frequency synthesizer tuning system. In master antenna TV distribution systems, however, the UHF channels, and in some instances the UHF channels, are translated to an unused VHF channel. Such distribution systems are widely used, primarily in large cities, and particularly in hotel and motel installations. When inexpensive equipment is used for the translation, the resultant carrier may be mistuned a significant amount from the proper frequency. The amount of mistuning can easily be in excess of ±1 megahertz, the normal pull-in range of a good AFT or AFC system. It can even exceed ±2 megahertz. In the case where a conventional frequency synthesizer tuning system is used, a frequency off-set of this magnitude in a master antenna distribution system, or in any other case, will result in the mistuning of the received station; and the customer has no way of adjusting the RF oscillator for the mistuning.
It is desirable to automatically correct for frequency offsets in a frequency synthesizer tuning system without affecting the operation of the conventional frequency synthesizer in the tuning system. If this can be accomplished, the obvious advantages of frequency synthesizers in a television tuning system can be realized without the attendant disadvantages which otherwise exist when there is a frequency offset in the signal of the station to which the receiver is being tuned, whether such offset is created by a master antenna TV distribution or results from some other cause.
Channel selection is controlled by a frequency synthesizer a sweep of available channels is made by a channel selecting arrangement and this sweep is arranged to be stopped when a signal is received. When the sweeping is stopped a fine tuning arrangement takes control to respond to the frequency of the received signal and to compensate for any drift of that signal,a frequency synthesizer controlled channel selection means which includes a fine tuning arrangement; means for initiating a sweep of available channels by the channel selection means; means for stopping the sweep on reception of a signal and means, operable on cessation of sweeping and responsive to the frequency of the signal, and arranged to control the fine tuning arrangement to compensate for frequency drift of the signal.
This invention relates generally to television channel selection, and more particularly relates to the keyboard selection of a television channel and the microcomputer-controlled display of and tuning to the selected channel number.
Television receivers are generally tuned by rotating a tuning knob to sweep the broadcast frequency band which has been preselected by means of a frequency band switch. The currently tuned channel indication is provided by the channel number indicator which moves along a scale. This type of television tuning system utilizes mechanical and electromechanical components and is characteristically slow in response, noisy, subject to mechanical breakdown and best suited for use with a limited number of channels. The proliferation of UHF channels and the increasing use of CATV and MATV have rendered these electromechanical tuning systems of limited utility in current television receivers. The all-electronic, all-channel tuning system has thus been developed to meet current television tuning system demands. Electronic tuning systems are characterized by silent operation, high speed, all-channel tuning and solid state electronics reliability. In these systems, channel selection is typically by means of a 10-digit, push button keyboard entry with channels accessed either substantially in a stepwise manner or by direct channel tuning. While these digital electronic tuning systems permit extremely rapid channel selection, no allowance is made for user entries which are erroneous in terms of the channel desired and that which was actually selected or which involve the entry of an illegal (non-FCC designated) channel number.

- Direct channel calling capability feature both keyboard and remote control.

This model is even showing the use of the TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TMS1000 used here as a Remote control decoder /receiver plus realtime programmable clock timer feature and it's the first PHILIPS model using a Ucontroller to feature some functions in group with other sophisticated ASIC's. In brief the TV Is full of circuits of various type connected by lots of wirings.
MICROPROCESSOR and microcomputer i.c.s seem to be cropping up everywhere since 1979. It's hardly surprising therefore that TV manufacturers have found uses for them. First, what's the difference? Well, they both enable a great deal of digital signal processing to be carried out in a single chip to control tuning as example. The differences relate to the internal memory arrangements. Clearly the chips require memories so that they can remember what they're supposed to do and how to do it, and to store data as necessary during the processing operations. A microprocessor's memory is of the ROM (read-only memory) type, i.e. it provides outputs as required but you can't feed data in and get it back later. Typical examples of ROMs are the character and graphics generator i.c.s used in VDUs and teletext decoders. A microcomputer is more flexible because it also incorporates a RAM (random-access memory) which will hold and release data as instructed. The data store in a VDU and the page memory device in a teletext decoder are of the RAM variety. The use of digital techniques in domestic TV sets started a few years back in the 70's - with a rather expensive, up-market Barco colour receiver. This had an automatic tuning system - similar to the arrangement used as example in the Grundig SVR videocassette recorder.. Digital tuning and remote control systems are becoming increasingly common in TV sets, and are also found in the latest VCRs. Once you start using digital control systems, it's logical to employ a microcomputer i.c. to control the system. Both Philips and ITT and Texas and Motorola and National  have published details in the 70's of microcomputer TV receiver control systems recently, and we shall doubtless find these in the more complex TV sets featuring teletext and viewdata facilities before long. One of the first items of domestic TV equipment I've had The microcomputer chip itself is the  TMS1000. ........ however, let's briefly outline what a microcomputer is and can do. It's a simple computer of course, and has been described as a very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSIC) which, by performing a sequence of programmable (in manufacture) operations, can fulfil a wide range of different electronic functions. The advantages of using a microcomputer are its low cost (today less than few pennies), the low component count achieved, and the ease with which the instructions (and thus the functions the device will perform) can be changed by the i.c. manufacturer to cater for different applications.

The PHILIPS CHASSIS K12 have had several differences from ealier and after PHILIPS chassis types. Another combination of esclusive features was  the outer side of the monolithic semiconductor integrated circuit have been arrayed a tuner, a video intermediate-frequency amplifier, and a video detector. The video intermediate-frequency output signals obtained from the tuner are amplified by the video intermediate-frequency amplifier, and the output of the video intermediate-frequency amplifier is applied to the input of the video detector. The detected signals produced by the video detector are fed to the input of a video amplifier in the monolithic semiconductor integrated circuit. The video output signals of the video amplifier in the integrated circuit are fed to the input of a sync separator in the integrated circuit. The outputs of the sync separator are fed to a vertical oscillation output circuit and to a horizontal oscillation output circuit.

This  idea of incorporating the e.h.t. rectifier into the line output transformer is not new , it was first patented in 1966 by E. K. Cole Ltd. of Southend. What is new is that the e.h.t. tripler itself has now been integrated into a new type of line output transformer. Extensive testing has indicated that the life expectancy of this unit is excellent.
The new transformer makes use of the interlayer capacitances between a number of secondary windings, thus eliminating the high voltage capacitors necessary in a conventionally constructed voltage tripler. This in itself
leads to greater inherent reliability since these high voltage capacitors are largely responsible for tripler failures. In practical designs, the primary winding and the auxiliary windings - which provide the 1.t., reference flyback pulses, h.t. for the video output stages, etc. - are located on one leg of the core, the secondary windings, with the e.h.t. rectifier diodes and a link winding, being on the other leg. The link winding is connected in parallel with the primary winding and serves to eliminate the high leakage inductance that would otherwise exist between the primary and the secondaries as they are on opposite legs of the core. Fig. 1 shows the circuit diagram of a basic d.s.t. Each of the secondaries has the same number of turns, so each secondary layer will have only a d.c. potential difference between each coil and no a.c. potential difference. This approach makes the interlayer insulation much easier. The diodes are connected as shown in Fig. 2, and a d.c. voltage is obtained whose value is the sum of the rectified a.c. voltages per layer. To obtain an output of about 25kV, four secondary layers and four diodes are used, each carrying a peak flyback voltage of  around 7kV.
The set is build with a Modular chassis design because as modern television receivers become more complex the problem of repairing the receiver becomes more difficult. As the number of components used in the television receiver increases the susceptibility to breakdown increases and it becomes more difficult to replace defective components as they are more closely spaced. The problem has become even more complicated with the increasing number of color television receivers in use. A color television receiver has a larger number of circuits of a higher degree of complexity than the black and white receiver and further a more highly trained serviceman is required to properly service the color television receiver.
Fortunately for the service problem to date, most failures occur in the vacuum tubes used in the television receivers. A faulty or inoperative vacuum tube is relatively easy to find and replace. However, where the television receiver malfunction is caused by the failure of other components, such as resistors, capacitors or inductors, it is harder to isolate the defective component and a higher degree of skill on the part of the serviceman is required.
Even with the great majority of the color television receiver malfunctions being of the "easy to find and repair" type proper servicing of color sets has been difficult to obtain due to the shortage of trained serviceman.
At the present time advances in the state of the semiconductor art have led to the increasing use of transistors in color television receivers. The receiver described in this application has only two tubes, the picture tube and the high voltage rectifier tube, all the other active components in the receiver being semiconductors.
One important characteristic of a semiconductor device is its extreme reliability in comparison with the vacuum tube. The number of transistor and integrated circuit failures in the television receiver will be very low in comparison with the failures of other components, the reverse of what is true in present day color television receivers. Thus most failures in future television receivers will be of the hard to service type and will require more highly qualified servicemen.
The primary symptoms of a television receiver malfunction are shown on the picture tube of the television receiver while the components causing the malfunction are located within the cabinet. Also many adjustments to the receiver require the serviceman to observe the screen. Thus the serviceman must use unsatisfactory mirror arrangements to remove the electronic chassis from the cabinet, usually a very difficult task. Further many components are "buried" in a maze of circuitry and other components so that they are difficult to remove and replace without damage to other components in the receiver.
Repairing a modern color television receiver often requires that the receiver be removed from the home and carried to a repair shop where it may remain for many weeks. This is an expensive undertaking since most receivers are bulky and heavy enough to require at least two persons to carry them. Further, two trips must be made to the home, one to pick up the receiver and one to deliver it. For these reasons, the cost of maintaining the color television receiver in operating condition often exceeds the initial cost of the receiver and is an important factor in determining whether a receiver will be purchased.
Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a transistorized color television receiver in which the main electronic chassis is easily accessible for maintenance and adjustment. Another object of this invention is to provide a transistorized color television receiver in which the electronic circuits are divided into a plurality of modules with the modules easily removable for service and maintenance. The main electronic chassis is slidably mounted within the cabinet so that it may be withdrawn, in the same manner as a drawer, to expose the electronic circuitry therein for maintenance and adjustment from the rear closure panel after easy removal. Another aspect is the capability to be serviced at eventually the home of the owner.

The PHONOLA   66K6720/38Z  (PHILIPS 26C870 GOYA ROYAL.)  (PHILIPS K12)   incorporates first time an invention which relates to a novel automatic gray scale control circuit for a color television receiver. The circuit senses the cut-off voltage of each gun during the blanking interval, and uses a voltage equal to the cut-off voltage to energize the driver and bias the gun during the video field. The effect is to standardize the emission of each of the three guns against variation in gun cut-off voltage and to produce improved gray scale accuracy at the lowest emission levels. Since the gray scale adjustment is optimized at the lowest emission levels, where the eye is most intolerant to error in hue, one may avoid the need for manual adjustment of the cut-off point, and in cases where the gain does not vary widely from gun to gun, avoid the need for separate gain adjustment. Thus, the circuit may be used either to simplify or eliminate the color set up process at the factory when the receiver is manufactured. It may also reduce or avoid the need for readjustment after periods of use.The emission characteristics of the electron guns of a color kinescope in a television receiver are subject to varying as a function of temperature and aging, among other factors. When such variations affect the gain related transconductance of one or more electron guns, the affected electron guns conduct improper white level currents in response to a white level video drive signal. Thus a non-white color image is produced in response to a white video signal, and the overall color fidelity of a reproduced image is impaired.

As example some color television receivers include systems for automatically compensating for variations of the electron gun emission characteristics which relate to the gains of the electron guns. Such automatic control systems are desirable because they continuously maintain the proper gain characteristic of the electron guns, and because they eliminate the need for time consuming manual kinescope gain adjustments during the receiver manufacturing process and afterwards as the kinescope ages. Such automatic kinescope level control systems, also known as "white grey balance" systems, often operate by applying a white reference signal to preceding video signal processing circuits during intervals when video information signals are absent. The resulting kinescope electron gun current is then sensed and compared with a reference signal representative of a corresponding correct kinescope white current level. As a result of this comparison, a control signal indicating the amount by which the electron gun white current level differs from the correct level is generated and used to adjust the signal gain of an associated amplifier in the video signal path until the correct electron gun white current level is produced.


PHILIPS DICT (TRD - TUNING REMOTE DIGITAL RC4) TUNING SYSTEM IN BRIEF.
A wide variety of "search" or "signal seeking" tuning systems for radio and television receivers are known which provide for automatically tuning only those channels which have acceptable reception characteristics and for skipping past thosechannels which have unacceptable reception characteristics. Such tuning systems typically include a number of signal detectors for determining when a received RF carrier has acceptable reception characteristics. For example, a search type tuning systemfor a television receiver may include: an AFT (automatic fine tuning) detector for determining when an IF carrier derived from the received RF carrier has a frequency within a predetermined range of its desired value; and AGC (automatic gain control)detector for determining when the received RF carrier has an amplitude greater than a predetermined value; and a synchronization detector to determine when synchronization pulses derived from the received RF carrier have the proper frequency.

Tuning systems are also known which include a memory having memory locations associated with each channel in a tuning range for storing information as to whether the associated station or channel is preferred or not. Such "memory" type tuningsystems may be utilized as an alternative to the "search" type tuning systems to select only those channels with acceptable reception characteristics in a given location.

Both "search" and "memory" type tuning systems require a considerable amount of complex and expensive circuitry, in addition to the basic tuning system for tuning each channel in a tuning range, for tuning only those channels with acceptablereception characteristics. Thus, there is a need for a tuning system which requires only a relatively small amount of circuitry in addition to the basic tuning system for tuning only channels with acceptable reception characteristics.

THE EQUIVALENT PHILIPS MODEL WAS PHILIPS 26C870 GOYA ROYAL.(The tellye here shown is a PHILIPS and it's of course a..................Heavy load of KG)










Phonola - Società Anonima FIMI (Fabbrica Italiana Materiali Isolanti); Saronno - Milano
was an Italian manufacturer of radio and television.

Founded in 1929 as Phonola - Società Anonima FIMI (Fabbrica Italiana Materiali Isolanti); Saronno - Milano begun his activity which stopped due to 2nd WOLD WAR.

In 1945 they reprise the production of radio and Television.

in 1969 Phonola was acquired by Philips, later Phonola models are Philips clones
Actual company name and adress:
FIMI SRL, Via Saul Banfi 1, I-21047 Saronno (VA).
FIMI is a company of 'Royal Philips Electronics' and is a global leader in medical display solutions. Its products address a wide spectrum of medical applications ranging from Patient Monitoring to Medical Imaging (such as Ultrasound, Radiography, Magnetic Resonance, Computed Tomography, Surgery ) and to mobile Point of Care.

In the 90's was aquired from the group of Seleco and toghether they went to another Industry group called Formenti.

All these went to failing (Obviously) and they were aquired from SUPER/FLUO in 2006 which even failed in 2009, was dropped to a new society called SELEK TECHNOLOGY founded in 2010.
(Italians awesomeness is well known in the world for these round circles)




Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Royal Philips Electronics Inc.), most commonly known as Philips, (Euronext: PHIA, NYSE: PHG) is a multinational Dutch electronics corporation.

Philips is one of the largest electronics companies in the world. In 2009, its sales were €23.18 billion. The company employs 115,924 people in more than 60 countries.

Philips is organized in a number of sectors: Philips Consumer Lifestyles (formerly Philips Consumer Electronics and Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care), Philips Lighting and Philips Healthcare (formerly Philips Medical Systems).
The company was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips, a maternal cousin of Karl Marx, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Its first products were light bulbs and other electro-technical equipment. Its first factory survives as a museum devoted to light sculpture. In the 1920s, the company started to manufacture other products, such as vacuum tubes (also known worldwide as 'valves'), In 1927 they acquired the British electronic valve manufacturers Mullard and in 1932 the German tube manufacturer Valvo, both of which became subsidiaries. In 1939 they introduced their electric razor, the Philishave (marketed in the USA using the Norelco brand name).
Philips was also instrumental in the revival of the Stirling engine.

As a chip maker, Philips Semiconductors was among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders.

In December 2005 Philips announced its intention to make the Semiconductor Division into a separate legal entity. This process of "disentanglement" was completed on 1 October 2006.

On 2 August 2006, Philips completed an agreement to sell a controlling 80.1% stake in Philips Semiconductors to a consortium of private equity investors consisting of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR), Silver Lake Partners and AlpInvest Partners. The sale completed a process, which began December 2005, with its decision to create a separate legal entity for Semiconductors and to pursue all strategic options. Six weeks before, ahead of its online dialogue, through a letter to 8,000 of Philips managers, it was announced that they were speeding up the transformation of Semiconductors into a stand-alone entity with majority ownership by a third party. It was stated then that "this is much more than just a transaction: it is probably the most significant milestone on a long journey of change for Philips and the beginning of a new chapter for everyone – especially those involved with Semiconductors".

In its more than 115 year history, this counts as a big step that is definitely changing the profile of the company. Philips was one of few companies that successfully made the transition from the electrical world of the 19th century into the electronic age, starting its semiconductor activity in 1953 and building it into a global top 10 player in its industry. As such, Semiconductors was at the heart of many innovations in Philips over the past 50 years.

Agreeing to start a process that would ultimately lead to the decision to sell the Semiconductor Division therefore was one of the toughest decisions that the Board of Management ever had to make.

On 21 August 2006, Bain Capital and Apax Partners announced that they had signed definitive commitments to join the expanded consortium headed by KKR that is to acquire the controlling stake in the Semiconductors Division.

On 1 September 2006, it was announced in Berlin that the name of the new semiconductor company founded by Philips is NXP Semiconductors.

Coinciding with the sale of the Semiconductor Division, Philips also announced that they would drop the word 'Electronics' from the company name, thus becoming simply Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Royal Philips N.V.).

PHILIPS FOUNDATION:

The foundations of Philips were laid in 1891 when Anton and Gerard Philips established Philips & Co. in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company begun manufacturing carbon-filament lamps and by the turn of the century, had become one of the largest producers in Europe. Stimulated by the industrial revolution in Europe, Philips’ first research laboratory started introducing its first innovations in the x-ray and radio technology. Over the years, the list of inventions has only been growing to include many breakthroughs that have continued to enrich people’s everyday lives.



In the early years of Philips &; Co., the representation of the company name took many forms: one was an emblem formed by the initial letters of Philips ; Co., and another was the word Philips printed on the glass of metal filament lamps.



One of the very first campaigns was launched in 1898 when Anton Philips used a range of postcards showing the Dutch national costumes as marketing tools. Each letter of the word Philips was printed in a row of light bulbs as at the top of every card. In the late 1920s, the Philips name began to take on the form that we recognize today.



The now familiar Philips waves and stars first appeared in 1926 on the packaging of miniwatt radio valves, as well as on the Philigraph, an early sound recording device. The waves symbolized radio waves, while the stars represented the ether of the evening sky through which the radio waves would travel.



In 1930 it was the first time that the four stars flanking the three waves were placed together in a circle. After that, the stars and waves started appearing on radios and gramophones, featuring this circle as part of their design. Gradually the use of the circle emblem was then extended to advertising materials and other products.



At this time Philips’ business activities were expanding rapidly and the company wanted to find a trademark that would uniquely represent Philips, but one that would also avoid legal problems with the owners of other well-known circular emblems. This wish resulted in the combination of the Philips circle and the wordmark within the shield emblem.



In 1938, the Philips shield made its first appearance. Although modified over the years, the basic design has remained constant ever since and, together with the wordmark, gives Philips the distinctive identity that is still embraced today.

The first steps of CRT production by Philips started in the thirties with the Deutsche Philips Electro-Spezial gesellschaft in Germany and the Philips NatLab (Physics laboratory) in Holland. After the introduction of television in Europe, just after WWII there was a growing demand of television sets and oscilloscope equipment. Philips in Holland was ambitious and started experimental television in 1948. Philips wanted to be the biggest on this market. From 1948 there was a small Philips production of television and oscilloscope tubes in the town of Eindhoven which soon developed in mass production. In 1976 a part of the Philips CRT production went to the town of Heerlen and produced its 500.000'th tube in 1986. In 1994 the company in Heerlen changed from Philips into CRT-Heerlen B.V. specialized in the production of small monochrome CRT's for the professional market and reached 1.000.000 produced tubes in 1996. In this stage the company was able to produce very complicated tubes like storage CRT's.
In 2001 the company merged into Professional Display Systems, PDS worked on LCD and Plasma technology but went bankrupt in 2009. The employees managed a start through as Cathode Ray Technology which now in 2012 has to close it's doors due to the lack of sales in a stressed market. Their main production was small CRT's for oscilloscope, radar and large medical use (X-ray displays). New experimental developments were small Electron Microscopy, 3D-TV displays, X-Ray purposes and Cathode Ray Lithography for wafer production. Unfortunately the time gap to develop these new products was too big.


28 of September 2012, Cathode Ray Technology (the Netherlands), the last Cathode Ray Tube factory in Europe closed. Ironically the company never experienced so much publicity as now, all of the media brought the news in Holland about the closure. In fact this means the end of mass production 115 years after Ferdinand Braun his invention. The rapid introduction and acceptation of LCD and Plasma displays was responsible for a drastic decrease in sales. Despite the replacement market for the next couple of years in the industrial, medical and avionics sector.
The numbers are small and the last few CRT producers worldwide are in heavy competition.

Gerard Philips:

Gerard Leonard Frederik Philips (October 9, 1858, in Zaltbommel – January 27, 1942, in The Hague, Netherlands) was a Dutch industrialist, co-founder (with his father Frederik Philips) of the Philips Company as a family business in 1891. Gerard and his younger brother Anton Philips changed the business to a corporation by founding in 1912 the NV Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken. As the first CEO of the Philips corporation, Gerard laid with Anton the base for the later Philips multinational.



Early life and education

Gerard was the first son of Benjamin Frederik David Philips (1 December 1830 – 12 June 1900) and Maria Heyligers (1836 – 1921). His father was active in the tobacco business and a banker at Zaltbommel in the Netherlands; he was a first cousin of Karl Marx.



Career

Gerard Philips became interested in electronics and engineering. Frederik was the financier for Gerard's purchase of the old factory building in Eindhoven where he established the first factory in 1891. They operated the Philips Company as a family business for more than a decade.



Marriage and family

On March 19, 1896 Philips married Johanna van der Willigen (30 September 1862 – 1942). They had no children.

Gerard was an uncle of Frits Philips, whom he and his brother brought into the business. Later they brought in his brother's grandson, Franz Otten.


Gerard and his brother Anton supported education and social programs in Eindhoven, including the Philips Sport Vereniging (Philips Sports Association), which they founded. From it the professional football (soccer) department developed into the independent Philips Sport Vereniging N.V.



Anton Philips:

Anton Frederik Philips (March 14, 1874, Zaltbommel, Gelderland – October 7, 1951, Eindhoven) co-founded Royal Philips Electronics N.V. in 1912 with his older brother Gerard Philips in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. He served as CEO of the company from 1922 to 1939.



Early life and education

Anton was born to Maria Heyligers (1836 – 1921) and Benjamin Frederik David Philips (December 1, 1830 – June 12, 1900). His father was active in the tobacco business and a banker at Zaltbommel in the Netherlands. (He was a first cousin to Karl Marx.) Anton's brother Gerard was 16 years older.



Career

In May 1891 the father Frederik was the financier and, with his son Gerard Philips, co-founder of the Philips Company as a family business. In 1912 Anton joined the firm, which they named Royal Philips Electronics N.V.

During World War I, Anton Philips managed to increase sales by taking advantage of a boycott of German goods in several countries. He provided the markets with alternative products.

Anton (and his brother Gerard) are remembered as being civic-minded. In Eindhoven they supported education and social programs and facilities, such as the soccer department of the Philips Sports Association as the best-known example.

Anton Philips brought his son Frits Philips and grandson Franz Otten into the company in their times. Anton took the young Franz Otten with him and other family members to escape the Netherlands just before the Nazi Occupation during World War II; they went to the United States. They returned after the war.

His son Frits Philips chose to stay and manage the company during the occupation; he survived several months at the concentration camp of Vught after his workers went on strike. He saved the lives of 382 Jews by claiming them as indispensable to his factory, and thus helped them evade Nazi roundups and deportation to concentration camps.

Philips died in Eindhoven in 1951.

A comment...........of a 1996 reality ..................
Philips, which seems to be a perennial walking wounded case. The company had appeared to be on the mend after a worldwide cost- cutting programme which was started five years ago when Jan Timmer took over as chairman.
 But, following a sharp profits fall, with the company's first quarterly loss since 1992, a further shake up is being undertaken.
The difficulty is that the company operates in a mature market, in which prices are falling at an annual rate of six per cent. Manufacturers are competing by cutting costs to gain a larger share of static demand. It's not a situation in which any firm that does its own manufacturing can achieve much. Philips' latest plan involves an overall loss of 6,000 jobs in its consumer electronics business, with far greater reliance placed on a group of external suppliers which are referred to as "a cluster of dedicated subcontractors".

This is an approach that was pioneered many years ago by major Japanese manufacturers. Rather than make everything yourself, you rely on subcontractors who, in return, rely on you for their main source of work. It is hardly a cosy arrangement: the whole point seems to be that the major fain can exert pressure on its subcontractors, thereby - in theory - achieving optimum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. What happens when lower and lower prices are demanded for subcontracted work is not made clear.

The whole edifice could collapse. However that might be, this is the course on which Philips has now embarked. The company is also to carry out distribution, sales and marketing on a regional rather than a national basis, and has said that it will not support Grundig's losses after this year.

But Philips' chief financial officer Dudley Eustace has said that it has "no intention of abandoning the television and audio business". One has to assume that the subcontracting will also be done on an international basis, as major Japanese firms have had to do. There is a sense of déjà vu about this, though one wishes Philips well - it is still one of the major contributors to research and development in our industry.

Toshiba, which has also just appointed a new top man, Taizo Nishimoro, provides an interesting contrast. Mr Nishimoro thinks that the western emphasis on sales and marketing rather than engineering is the way to go. So the whole industry seems to be moving full circle. Taizo Nishimoro has become the first non engineering president of Toshiba. Where the company cannot compete effectively on its own, he intends to seek international alliances or go for closures. He put it as follows. "The technology and the businesses we are engaged in are getting more complex.
 In these circumstances, if we try to do everything ourselves we are making a mistake." Here's how Minoru Makihara, who became head of Mitsubishi Corporation four years ago, sees it. "Technologies are now moving so fast that it is impossible for the top manager to know all the details. 
Companies are now looking for generalists who can understand broad changes, delegate and provide leadership." Corporate change indeed amongst our oriental colleagues. Major firms the world over are facing similar problems and having to adopt similar policies.

In a mature market such as consumer electronics, you have to rely on marketing to squeeze the last little bit of advantage from such developments as Dolby sound and other added value features. The consumer electronics industry has been hoping that the digital video disc would come to its aid and get sales and profits moving ahead.

The DVD was due to be released in Sept 1996 , but we are unlikely to hear much more about it yet awhile. There's no problem with the technology: the difficulty is with licensing and software. There is obviously no point in launching it without adequate software support. But the movie companies, which control most of the required supply of software, are concerned that a recordable version of the disc, due in a couple of years' time, would be a gift to pirates worldwide. Concessions have been made by the electronics industry, in particular that different disc formats should be used in different parts of the world. But a curious problem has arisen.
 The other main use of the DVD is as a ROM in computer systems. For this application flexible copying facilities are a major requirement. But the movie companies are unwilling to agree to this. At present the situation is deadlocked and the great hope of an autumn launch, all important for sales, has had to be postponed. Next year maybe? It's a great pity, since the DVD has much to offer.
There's a lot of sad news on the retail side as well. Colorvision has been placed in administrative receivership in 1996 , with a threat to 800 jobs at its 76 stores, while the Rumbelows shops that were taken over by computer retailer Escom have suffered a similar fate. The receivers have closed down the UK chain with the loss of 850 jobs at some 150 stores. Nothing seems to be going right just now.
