 
PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R GOYA VT PRINTER The "TeleText / VideoText Printer"
 television with teletext printer built in! 
" Imagine being able to print out the football results, then take them down to the pub, eh? "
This television here is a unique and very rare model featuring The teletext pages to be printed on paper.
Was called indeed The Teletext printer or TXT Printer With PHILIPS  26CS3890 Goya TXT Printer name code.
It has a small internal printer that will print off onto paper a  selected teletext page that is then ejected via a small slot on the  front.
The teletext printer unit is shown above in the 'pulled out' position for paper changing, the paper was a thermal print paper type

The printing of a teletext page was obtainable even via remote command button.
Furthermore it has an icorporated stereo hifi decoder even with only front 2 way audio 1 channel on frontend right placed but the stereo sound is obtainable via SCART SOCKET or HeadPhones Jack with tone control featured by remote.
 
The transmission of stereophonic sound together with a conventional television picture transmission greatly enhances the realism and entertainment value of the program being transmitted. Various systems and apparatus have been proposed for such transmissions including various compatible subcarrier-type systems wherein left-plus-right (L+R) information is conveyed on the regular frequency-modulated sound channel of a composite television broadcast signal, and left-minus-right (L-R) information is conveyed on a subcarrier.

 
Various   systems, such as the "TELETEXT" and "VIEWDATA" systems, are 
known in   which news, weather and other information are transmitted, 
for example,   during the vertical blanking period of a television 
broadcast or  through  a telephone circuit, to a television receiver 
where such  information is  displayed. With these systems, each number, 
letter or  other symbol is  converted to a code signal and then 
transmitted to the  receiving end of  the system where the code signal 
is decoded to the  original number,  letter or other symbol and then 
displayed on the  screen of the  television receiver.The present PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER  color  television refers to a receiver for an information 
transmission system, the information being represented by a plural ity of
 text pages, each one selectable by the user, among all the receivable 
pages, sending to the receiver a sequence of data which indicate the 
selected page, the receiver comprising control means including a 
plurality of keys, which may be pressed by the user to produce control 
signals, processing means, coupled to said control means, to generate, 
in dependence of said control signals, said sequence of data, and a 
decoder circuit, coupled to said processing means, able to receive, 
select, process and reproduce the text pages, as a consequence of the 
receiving of the sequence of data.
It is known that in many 
European countries there are ( in 1983 ! ) already operating or in an experimental 
phase transmission systems (the so called Teletext or Televideo 
or VideoText or Bildschirmtext systems), which allow to transmit additional information, inserted in 
the standard video signal in the form of a digital coded signal, in a 
few normally free lines during the vertical retrace phase.
The 
said digital coded signal, at the user control, is decoded by a suitable
 decoding circuit, which is known in se, and may be inserted as an 
additional board in a normal television receiver, so allowing to display
 information pages, with text or graphics.
The number of the pages
 available to the user is of a few hundreds, grouped by matter (e.g. 
last news pag. 110-125, sports pag. 150-162, politics pag. 210-222, 
games pag. 315-345, etc); in the first page normally there is a 
directory, by matter, with the corresponding page numbers.
Using 
the known decoders, the user is compelled, each time he or she want to 
see a selected page, to press consecutively three numeric keys so to 
build the three figures number of the desired page; moreover, each time 
he or she wants to see the next page (because the wanted information 
occupies a few consecutive pages) he or she is compelled to build a new 
three figures number, if not even to recall the directory page, having 
in the mean time forgotten the desired page number.
 The PHILIPS  26CS3890  GOYA VT PRINTER has a small internal 
thermal printer (or 
direct thermal printer) 
 that will print off onto paper a  selected teletext page that is then 
ejected via a small slot on the  front and produces a printed image by 
selectively heating coated 
thermochromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal 
print head.
 The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an 
image. Two-color direct thermal printers can print both black and an 
additional color (often red) by applying heat at two different 
temperatures.
In order to print, thermo-sensitive paper is inserted between the thermal head and the platen. The printer sends an 
electrical current
 to the heating elements  of the thermal head, which generate heat. The 
heat activates the  thermo-sensitive coloring layer of the 
thermosensitive paper, which  changes color where heated. Such a 
printing mechanism is known as a 
thermal system or 
direct system. The heating elements are usually arranged as a matrix of small closely spaced dots—thermal printers are actually 
dot-matrix printers, though they are not so called.
The paper is impregnated with a solid-state mixture of a dye and a suitable matrix; a combination of a fluoran leuco dye and an 
octadecylphosphonic acid
  is an example. When the matrix is heated above its melting point, the 
 dye reacts with the acid, shifts to its colored form, and the changed  
form is then conserved in metastable state when the matrix solidifies  
back quickly enough.

With the above system, a printer is connected and integrated  to the television receiver for printing a hard copy of the picture, that is, the combination of numbers, letters or other symbols, which are displayed on the screen of the television receiver. It should be appreciated, however, that a printer cannot operate at the speed at which the luminance signal is supplied to the television receiver. Since the picture displayed on the screen of the television receiver is a still picture, that is, it remains on the screen long enough for the viewer to read the information, the luminance signal is sampled with a suitable sampling frequency to enable the printer to follow the luminance signal as the corresponding numbers, letters or other symbols are being displayed on the screen of the television receiver so as to print the sampled output thereof and thereby produce the desired hard copy.The teletext acquisition and decoding is frequently provided as a 
separate custom designed group of integrated circuit which communicates with the 
micro controller. Inputs to the micro controller are frequently from a 
remote control device via an infra red communications link. Thus 
typically the user will use the remote control unit to select the 
particular programme source which he or she desires to watch. This may 
be for example a number of broadcast television channels or a choice of 
channels provided by a cable television network, a satellite receiver or
 from an external source such as a video cassette recorder or a video 
disc player. The remote control unit is also used to select a particular
 teletext page for display and in some instances may be used for 
additional functions which are specific to a particular television set which may be the printing of a teletext page.
The chassis PHILIPS K35
 is fitted with a mains isolation transformer as it is  supplied with 
scart and din video/audio connection sockets.A video apparatus, such as a
 television receiver or a computer monitor, 
may incorporate user accessible terminals, Video connectors or jacks to 
facilitate input 
or output of video or audio signals. These user accessible terminals or 
jacks must be electrically isolated from the AC line supply in order to 
protect the user from shock hazard. Electrical isolation may be provided
 by isolation transformers associated with the input and output circuits
 themselves, but this technique may increase the cost and complexity of 
video apparatus having many input or output terminals. Electrical 
isolation may also be provided in the power supply circuitry, such as 
via a chopper transformer in a switched mode power supply, for example.
The
 chassis is very complicated with an additional audio board together 
with all the remote control and teletext facilities and those are 
expecially rising up the components count with many ASICs.
PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER Television receiver including a teletext decoder:
The present invention relates to television systems and more particularly to a method of apparatus for decoding digital information processed for inclusion in a wide band T.V. video signal. 
In any normal television system, the transmission of the wide band video signals which are to produce the actual picture elements on the screen of the receiver is interrupted between the scannning periods for line and field synchronization purposes. Consequently, there are periods during which no video signals are being transmitted. It is now possible to use these periods for the transmission of data which is not necessarily concerned with the video transmission itself.
Basically, data representable by standard symbols such as alpha-numeric symbols can be transmitted via a restricted channel provided that the rate of transmission is restricted. It is now possible to use periods as aforesaid especially the line times of the field blanking intervals (i.e. the times of the individual lines occurring between fields which correspond with the times occupied by video signals on active picture lines), for the transmission of pages of data. Typically, using 8-bit digital signals representing alpha-numeric characters (7 bits of data plus 1 bit for protection) at a bit rate of 2.5M bit per second, 50 pages of data each consisting of 22 strips of 40 characters can be transmitted repeatedly in a total cycle time of 90 seconds using only a single line of the field blanking period per field of the 625 lines system as operated in the United Kingdom.
Data transmission as described above is already commercially available in the United Kingdom under the name "Teletext", and transmitters and receivers are described in more detail in our U.K. Pat. Nos. 1,486,771; 1,486,772; 1,486,773 and 1,486,774.
Existing teletext displays consist of 40 characters per row and 24 rows per page. The U.K. teletext transmission standard specifies a data rate of 6.9375 Mbits per second (which has proven to be at the upper reasonable limit of transmission rate for system I, B/G system) so as just to achieve transmission of a complete row of text on one video line of the field blanking time.
The advantage of conveying one row of text on one video line is to achieve maximum economy in requirements for transmission of addressing information needed to correctly position the text information on the displayed page. Since whole rows of text are transmitted on each line, only a row number need be transmitted with each data line of text. Row zero which acts as the page demarcation signal requires additional page numbering information and also incorporates various display and interpretation codes appropriate to the particular page. In order to facilitate parallel magazine working every row of text also incorporates a 3-bit magazine number, being the most significant digit of the page number.
The above structure incorporating as it does one text row on every data line thus results in a very efficient utilization of the transmission facility. However, the existing Teletext transmissions do have limitations in so far as they are less satisfactory when in a "graphics" mode as compared with an "alpha-numeric" mode. 
PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER  TELETEXT PRINTER  - SVM / "BEAMBOOSTER " to sharp the picture in high bright zones and increase picture definition quality.
This    invention relates generally to video signal reproducing 
apparatus,   such  as, television receivers, and more particularly is 
directed to    providing such apparatus with improved arrangements for 
effecting    electron beam scanning velocity modulation so as to 
significantly    enhance the sharpness of the reproduced picture or 
image.

 
When    the phosphor 
screen of a video signal reproducing apparatus, such as,    the screen 
of the cathode ray tube in a television receiver, is  scanned   by an 
electron beam or beams so as to form a picture or image  on the   
screen, the beam current varies with the luminance or  brightness level 
  of the input video signal. Therefore, each electron  beam forms on the
   phosphor screen a beam spot whose size is larger at  high brightness 
  levels than at low brightness levels of the image so  that sharpness 
of   the reproduced picture is deteriorated, particularly  at the 
demarcation   between bright and dark portions on areas of the  picture.
 Further, when  a  beam scanning the screen in the line-scanning  
direction moves across   the demarcation or edge between dark and  
bright areas of the picture,   for example, black and white areas,  
respectively, the frequency  response  of the receiver does not permit  
the beam intensity to change  instantly  from the low level  
characteristic of the black area to the  high level  characteristic of  
the white area. Therefore, the sharpness  of the  reproduced image is  
degraded at portions of the image where  sudden  changes in brightness  
occur in response to transient changes in  the  luminance or brightness 
 of the video signal being reproduced. The   increase in the beam 
current  and in the beam spot size for bright   portions of the 
reproduced  picture or image and the inadequate frequency   response of 
the  television receiver to sudden changes in the  brightness  or 
luminance  level of the incoming video signal are additive  in respect  
to the  degradation of the horizontal sharpness of the  reproduced image
  or  picture.More particularly, in the known beam velocity modulation 
technique or method, the original video signal representing brightness 
or luminance of a video picture and which incorporates "dullness" at 
abrupt changes in the luminance level due to the inadequate frequency 
response of the television receiver circuits to such abrupt changes in 
luminance level, is applied directly to the cathode or beam producing 
means of the cathode ray tube for modulating the intensity of the 
electron beam or beams, and such original video signal is also 
differentiated to obtain a modulation signal which is employed for 
effecting a supplemental horizontal deflection of the beam or beams in 
addition to the main or usual horizontal deflection thereof. The 
modulation or compensation signal may be supplied to the main deflection
 coil or yoke or to a supplemental deflection coil which is in addition 
to the main deflection coil with the result that the overall magnetic 
field acting on the beam or beams for effecting horizontal deflection 
thereof is modulated and corresponding modulation of the beam scanning 
velocity in the line-scanning direction is achieved. As is well known, 
the effect of the foregoing is to improve the sharpness of the image or 
picture in the horizontal direction. Since the original video signal is 
applied directly to the cathode or beam producing means of the cathode 
ray tube without increasing the level thereof at sharp changes in the 
brigheness level of the video signal, as in the aperture correction or 
compensation technique, the beam velocity modulation technique does not 
cause changes in the beam spot size so that sharpness of the image or 
picture in the horizontal direction is conspicuously improved.
However, it is a characteristic or inherent disadvantage of existing 
beam velocity modulation arrangements that the improved horizontal 
sharpness of the reproduced image or picture is achieved at the expense 
of a reduction in the width of the bright or white areas of the 
reproduced image or picture so that such bright or white areas are 
slimmer or more slender than would be the case if the depicted scene 
were accurately or precisely reproduced.
Accordingl

y, it is an object of this invention to provide a video signal reproducing apparatus with a
n
 improved arrangement for effecting beam scanning velocity modulation 
and thereby achieving enhanced sharpness of the reproduced image or 
picture, particularly at the demarcations between relatively dark and 
light picture areas, without reducing the widths of such light picture 
areas.
Another object is to provide an arrangement for effecting beam scanning velocity modulation,
 as aforesaid, which is relatively simple and is readily applicable to 
video signal reproducing apparatus, such as, television receivers.
In accordance with an aspect of this invention, in a video signal 
reproducing apparatus having a cathode ray tube in which at least one 
electron beam is made to scan a screen in line-scanning and vertical 
directions while the intensity of the beam is modulated to establish the
 brightness of a video picture to be displayed on the screen, and in 
which bright picture portions are represented by respective high level 
portions of an original video signal; a waveshaping circuit receives the
 original video signal and acts thereon to provide a compensated video 
signal in which the width of each high level portion between the 
respective rising and falling edges is increased, the compensated video 
signal is employed to control the intensity of the electron beam, and 
the rising and falling edges of each high level portion of the 
compensated video signal are detected to provide a respective output or 
modulation signal by which the scanning velocity of the beam in the 
line-scanning direction is modulated.
This PHILIPS  26CS3890 GOYA VT PRINTER tellye has an unique CHASSIS K35 specifically developed for this model type and not shared with other models except for the CHASSIS BASE.
It has of course a TRD 4 TUNING SYSTEM AND REMOTE with featured self fault diagnose system displayed on front program display with letters and numbers coding.
The Tuning in the Philips TRD IV:
In the good old days when all that was needed to tune in a colour set was a little patience and short finger nails 
life was nice and easy. Just twiddle until something appeared on the screen. Not so now!
 Philips
 in 1984 have revolutionised the idea of tuning your shiny new one eyed 
monster to give any amount of TV channels. The TRD IV remote control 
system is, as the Americans would say, a whole new ball game. It was first introduced with the K35 chassis and has since been used with various versions of the KT4 and K40 chassis. 
Tuning one of these sets in is probably more awesome than any field fault you care to mention. 
 In
 actual table display toys it become clear that the result is that one 
of your field engineers has to make a call. It's true to say that they'd
 rather spend the afternoon at the dentist. 

The
 first thing that's necessary in the world of Philips is an 
understanding of symbols. Philips seem to need these in order to have a 
series of blips and squiggles that will fit into their neatly hidden 
control flaps. 
 
Fig. 1 provides a guide. There now follows a beginner's guide to tuning. 
Method A:
 Let's
 start at the beginning. Switch the receiver on and, using what Philips 
call search method A, press the button marked c/p. 
The red LED display will show 01. 
Press
 the same button again and the display will change to 21, 69 or any 
number in between. Press the button marked with the symbol for open 
memory and the display will start to flash. What have we achieved so 
far? We've chosen programme number one, we've switched over to the 
channel scale 21-69, I've opened the memory and we now want to lock the BBC -1 channel to the memory's programme one position. 
Press
 the search tuning button and a vertical yellow bar should appear on the
 left-hand side of the screen and slowly edge its way across to the 
right-hand side. 

As
 it travels, so the tuning moves up the band, from channel 21 to channel
 69. In our case the local channels are (UK Based Broadcastings) 40 BBC-
 2, 43 ITV, 46 BBC -1 and 50 Channel 4 (Sutton Coldfield). So the first 
local channel we come to is 40. 
 
At
 this point the set will lock to this channel as programme one, the 
yellow line will disappear and the sound will be heard for the first 
time (the sound is muted until an aerial supplied signal is received). 
But we wanted to lock BBC -1 as programme one. Instead we've got BBC -2 
as this program number.
No
 problem! Simply press search tuning again and the display will move up 
to the next local channel, 43 in our case. Press it a third time and it 
will move up to the next channel, our BBC -1 channel 46. When you get 
there, push the store button (the one with the diamond symbol) and the 
memory will close, with BBC -1 locked as programme number one. The 
display will cease to flash. To check that this is so, press the c/p 
button once to see that the programme is number one, displayed as 01, 
and press again to see 46 displayed.
 With method A the selected programme number appears first and the channel that's locked to it afterwards.
 Method B:
 reverses
 this  the channel selected must appear first, then the programme 
number. Method B Method B, the "alternative method, direct channel 
selection", is no harder to follow.
 Let's
 assume this time that you're called to tune in the customer's VCR- we 
are assuming that the input to the set is at u.h.f. Switch on the VCR's 
test signal, then turn your atten- tion back to the TV set's control 
panel.
 Press
 the c/p button for a channel figure between 21 and 69 on the LED 
display. Now with most VCRs the u.h.f. output is at around channels 
36-39. Press the search tuning button and watch as the yellow line moves
 across to the right-hand side of the screen and the figures in the 
displaymove up towards 36-39. When the VCR's signal is reached the test 
signal will appear on the screen, the yellow line will disappear and you
 can choose whichprogramme number to use. Say 00 as recommended by 
Philips. 
Press
 the c/p button once again and the display will change to a flashing 
number between 00 and 89 (49 on some models). Get the display to 00 by 
using the buttons marked c/p - and +. 

Then
 press the store button (diamond symbol). You've now locked the VCR's 
output as programme 00. If the customer decides to connect his VCR via 
the SCART socket, simply select 00, set the changeover switch to AV and 
the VCR's video and audio signals will be taken via the SCART 
plug/socket. 
 
No
 tuning is required. Combining a Philips VCR and CTV has the advantage 
that you can control both via a single remote control unit.
Most of the later Philips slim -line handsets
 have the necessary buttons for play, record, fast wind in either 
direction and of course VCR channel change. One of the sets we handle is
 the PHILIPS  26CS3890. This is not just your average 22in. CTV. Apart from the 
automatic tuning covered above it has teletext, a 48 -button handset, Teletext Printer, a 
stereo sound decoder, four loudspeakers, spatial (extended) sound 
effect, second language reception, a jack socket for private listening 
with the main speakers on or off and a whole range of audio 
plugs/sockets at the rear. All in all quite a set - or more a way of 
life!
This 
PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER  TELETEXT PRINTER  tv set has even an auto diagnose system for chassis level fault servicing capability.
If
 a Fault occurs a code will be displayed on the program/channel led 
display. Such code is an address feature to send servicing properly a 
chassis zone referring a possible group of components generating that
 fault.

A self-diagnosing apparatus and a method for a 
Television apparatus which are capable of detecting errors of the 
apparatus, and classifying the errors for thus more effectively 
correcting the errors. The apparatus includes an operation state 
detection unit for detecting an operation state of a part of the 
apparatus, a self-diagnosing unit for checking an erroneous part based 
on an output signal from the operation state detection unit and checking
 a using state of a display for displaying an information which is used 
for correcting the error and externally transmitting the information. 
The conventional PHILIPS self-diagnosing content display apparatus for a
 TV includes a microcomputer  for controlling the entire operation of an
 
apparatus and controlling a self-diagnosing content display operation, 
this is obtained with a preprogrammed microcomputer.The controller 
employs a perceptable indicator, usually a visual 
display. This indicator normally provides the TV user with 
information useful in operating the appliance when it is functioning 
properly. For example,program and channels, on the other hand, the 
visual display performs the additional function
 of providing the results of internally programmed diagnostic test 
performed in background in a continuous cycle comprising the normal 
functions tasks. The controller will determine the suspected point of 
failure and 
display a unique code in association therewith in the visual display. 
This code can be interpreted to determine the exact circuit that failed 
and to eliminate much of the time consumption random trouble shooting of
 controls entails. The microprocessor checks its major internal and 
input and output 
circuits for proper computation through key voltages across the chassis 
via pheriperals and I2IC Bus. If the program senses a discrepancy in 
the computation or recordation of data, a code corresponding to the 
error detected appears in the visual display panel. This code denotes 
the location of the failure in the control circuitry and or in specific 
groups or zones of the main chassis. Through the use of the 
self-diagnostic electronic controller, the system determines itself 
whether it is trouble free or not, like testing internal data busto 
determine if the microcomputer is faulty itself. Through the use of the 
self-diagnostic electronic controller, the system
 determines itself whether it is trouble free or not. It then becomes 
unnecessary for a service technican to change out a control board and 
substitute a replacement board to determine if the original control 
board is defective, unless the self diagnostic control determines that 
this should be done.
Such list of codes was available on the chassis  service manual.

PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER  TELETEXT PRINTER  - Direct channel calling capability featured both keyboard and remote control.

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. 
In this era where many  things  if not all are "computed on the web" the PHILIPS  26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER  TELETEXT PRINTER  was a step ahead in that era of time representing somewhat pretty unique respect of todays technology which is leaving only a sad regret.

The PHILIPS 26CS3890/08R  GOYA VT PRINTER  with the CHASSIS K35 was USING in this chassis the
 RC-5 infrared remote protocol  widely used in after developed  products for over 25 Years.
The RC-5 infrared remote protocol     was developed by Philips in the late 1980s as a semi-proprietary    consumer IR (infrared) remote control communication protocol for    consumer electronics. However, it was also adopted by most European    manufacturers, as well as many US manufacturers of specialty audio and    video equipment.
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.
These are very reliable and they were expensive.
This model was only in 26 inches screen format sold and sports a PHILIPS 30AX Crt tube.The 30AX system, which Philips introduced in 1979, is an important  
landmark in the development of colour picture systems. With previous  
systems the assembly technician had to workthrough a large number of  
complicated setting-up procedures whenever he fitted a television  
picture tube with aset of coils for deflecting the electron beams. These
  procedures were necessary to ensure that the beams for the three  
colours would converge at thescreen for every deflection. They are no  
longer necessary with the 30AX system: for a given screen format any  
deflection unit can be combined  with any tube to form a single  
'dynamically convergent' unit. A colour-television receiver can thus be 
 assembled from its components almost as easily as a monochrome 
receiver.  The colour picture tube of the PHILIPS 30AX system displays a
  noticeably sharper picture over the entire screen surface. This will 
be  particularly noticeable when data transmissions such as Viewdata and
  Teletext are displayed. This has been achieved by a reduction in the  
size of the beam spot by about 30%. Absence of coma and the retention of
  the 36.5 mm neck diameter have both contributed to increased picture  
sharpness. Coma has been eliminated by means of corrective field shapers
  embedded in the deflection coils which are sectionally wound saddle  
types. The new deflection unit has no rear flanges. enabling uniform  
self-convergence to be obtained for all screen sizes. without special  
corrections, adjustments, or tolerance compensations. Horizontal raster 
 distortion is reduced and no vertical correction is required. One of 
the  inventions in 30AX is an internal magnetic c

orrection
  system which obviates static convergence and colour purity errors. 
This  enables the usual multiple unit to be dispensed with. together 
with the  need for its adjustment !  New techniques have been employed 
to achieve  close tolerance construction of the glass envelope. In 
addition, the  30AX picture tube incorporates two features whereby it 
can be accurately  adjusted during the last stages of manufacture. One 
is the internal  magnetic correction system. The other is an array of 
bosses on the cone  that establish a precise reference for the axial 
purity positioning of  the deflection unit on the tube axis and for 
raster orientation. During  its manufacture, each deflection unit is 
individually adjusted for  optimum convergence. The coil carrier also 
incorporates reference bosses  that co-operate with those on the cone of
 the tube. ' Since every  picture tube and every deflection unit is 
individually pre-aligned, any  deflection unit automatically matches 
with any picture tube of the  appropriate size. The deflection unit has 
only to be pushed onto the  neck of the tube unit it seats. Once the 
reference bosses are engaged,  the combination is accurately aligned and
 requires no adjustment for  convergence, colour purity or raster 
orientation. With no multiple unit  and a flangeless deflection unit, 
there is more space in the receiver  cabinet. Higher deflection 
sensitivity means that less current is  consumed, and consequently less 
heat is produced. This increases the  reliability of the TV receiver 
again. 30AX means simple assembly. Any  picture tube is compatible with 
any deflection unit of the appropriate  size and is automatically 
self-aligning as well as being  self-convergent.
The 
well-known 20AX features of HI-Bri,  Soft-Flash and Quick-vision are 
maintained in the new 30AX systern.  In  their work on the design of 
deflection coils in the last few years the  developers have expanded  
the magnetic deflectionfields into  'multipoles', This approach has 
improved the understanding  of the  relations between coil and field and
 between field and deflection to  such an extent that  designing 
deflection units is now more like playing  a difficult but fascinating 
game of chess than  carrying out the  obscure computing procedure once 
necessary.

It's
 an interesting fact that the cathode ray tube, which was amongst the 
very earliest thermionic devices, seems likely to be amongst the very 
last in everyday use. Receiving valves are largely things of the past, 
while timebase valves now belong in the service department. The 
development of the CRT continues apace however, and one cannot see any 
likelihood of its demise. Solid-state displays have been talked about, 
and demonstrated, but anything likely to compete on cost and performance
 grounds with the modern colour tube seems forever to be "at least ten 
years away". The early experiments with cathode-ray tubes were carried 
out in the last century. By the turn of the century, crude CRTs could be
 made. An early CRT, the Wehnelt hot cathode tube of 1905, is on display
 at the IBA's Television Gallery. By 1910, Alexander Campbell -Swinton 
had come to appreciate the possibilities of the CRT as a pick-up and 
display device for television, and put forward suggestions for such a TV
 system. It was a while however before the type of tube we know today 
appeared. The tubes of the 1910-30 era were gas focused devices (relying
 on residual gas to focus the beam), the vacuum pumps of the period 
producing only a poor vacuum. By the time of the start of the BBC's TV 
service in 1936 however the modern type of tube had arrived. It was a 
triode device with external focusing and a deflection angle of around 
50°. The usual sizes were 9 and 12in., and the e.h.t. was about 5kV. 
Post-war developments during the 1950s saw some important innovations. 
The deflection angle went to 70°, then 90°, then 110°; multi -electrode 
gun assemblies with electrostatic focusing were introduced; the e.h.t 
rose to 20kV; improved phosphors became available; and the advent of the
 aluminised screen considerably improved the brightness and contrast (by
 reflecting all the phosphor light emission forwards) while overcoming 
the problem of ion bombardment. Meanwhile, colour had come. The 
principle of the shadowmask tube had been suggested in the 1930s, but 
development (by RCA) had to wait until proposals for an acceptable, 
practical colour broadcasting system were put forward. A regular colour 
service was started in the USA in 1954, and the receivers were fitted 
with 21in. shadowmask tubes. Early developments included the use of 
improved phosphors, but essentially the same tube confronted us with the
 advent of colour transmissions in  Europe in 1967. As you all know, it 
had three guns mounted in a triangular formation, a dot-phosphor screen,
 a massive convergence system in two sections (radial and lateral), plus
 purity magnets and a large metal shield on which the degaussing coils 
hung. It also needed both NS and EW raster correction circuitry. The 
first versions in  Europe had a deflection angle of 90° : when the 110° 
version came along in the early 1970s the convergence and raster 
correction circuitry required were even more complex, but the degaussing
 shield had disappeared inside the tube. At much the same time however 
the first major breakthrough in large screen tube design occurred (we 
put it that way because the innovating Sony Trinitron was at the time 
mainly a small screen tube) - the RCA PIL tube with its in -line guns, 
phosphor -striped screen, and slotted shadowmask. The design of the yoke
 to provide self -convergence in conjunction with the in -line gun 
arrangement meant that no dynamic convergence system was required, while
 some simple manufacturer preset magnets provided static convergence and
 purity correction. Sets using this tube first appeared in  Europe in 
1975, and meanwhile the PHILIPS 20AX system had come along. Over the 
last few years the pace of development has quickened to a striking 
extent. We've had quick warm-up cathodes, the hi-bri technology which 
increases the shadow mask's transparency, the contoured line screen, the
 super -arch mask, pigmented phosphors, soft flash to reduce flashover 
damage, redesigned focus arrangements, and increased use of an earlier 
development, the black -stripe screen. The latest generation of tubes 
require no NS raster correction circuitry, which is all part of a 
parallel development in yoke technology, while the need for EW 
correction is also in the process of being designed out. With the new 
Philips 30AX tube, the static convergence and purity system disappear 
inside the tube in the form of a small internal magnetic ring. It's all a
 long way from Wehnelt's hot -cathode tube of 1905. The latest colour 
tubes are compact and have all the various correction arrangements 
required built in. They are amazing feats of precision engineering, and a
 solid-state alternative seems as far away as ever. Is there any farther
 to go along this path? Well, single -gun colour tubes using the beam 
indexing principle are now understood to be a practical proposition for 
small screen tubes, so we can't be too sure.
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).
he    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 increas

e   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.
Marriage and family
Philips   married Anne Henriëtte Elisabeth Maria de Jongh (Amersfoort, May 30,   1878 – Eindhoven, March 7, 1970). They had the following children:
*   Anna Elisabeth Cornelia Philips (June 19, 1899 – ?), married in 1925  to  Pieter Franciscus Sylvester Otten (1895 – 1969), and had:
o Diek Otten
o Franz Otten (b. c. 1928 - d. 1967), manager in the Dutch electronics company Philips
* Frederik Jacques Philips (1905-2005)

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 manufacturi

ng
 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.
