Panel MPU SOS Detect

•Protection circuits are incorporated in the unit to prevent the failure of a single circuit or component from creating catastrophic damage.

•A shutdown condition occurs when there is an over voltage, a short or a drop in any of the voltage lines. Also the shutdown circuit is triggered when the fans are drawing more current than normal.

•Normally the CPU of the D board and the CPU of the A board detect when a shutdown condition has been triggered.

•When an abnormality has occurred, the unit’s protection circuit operates and the TV is reset to the standby mode. At this time, the defective block can be identified by the number of blinks of the POWER LED on the front of the unit.

•The Panel MPU IC9003 of the A board (Located on the D board on previous generations) detects conditions that make the power LED blinks1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 times.

•The Main MPU IC1100 of the A board detects conditions that make the power LED blinks 10, 11, 12, and 13 times.

•The number of times that the POWER LED blinks indicates the areas where a problem is suspected.

•1 Blink SOS: Communication error with IC9003.

•2 Blinks SOS: Pin 62 of the CPU IC9003 monitors the 15V line. During normal operation pin 62 is kept high. If the 15V line is missing or shorted, a low is provided to pin 62. As a result, the unit shuts down and the power LED blinks 2 times.

•3 Blinks SOS: IC9805 is a 3.3V regulator located on the D board. Its output is monitored by IC9003. If the 3.3V is not present at pin 61, the CPU (IC9003) shuts down the unit. The power LED blinks 3 times.

The Panasonic TC-P46S1, TC-P50S1, and TC-P54S1 are part of Panasonic's Viera plasma television lineup that has gained a reputation for its superb picture quality and wide viewing angles. These models, introduced in the early 2010s, incorporate several innovative features and technologies that enhance the viewing experience for consumers.

First and foremost, each of these models features Panasonic's NeoPDP technology, which allows for deeper blacks and enhanced color accuracy. This technology reduces the size of subpixels, thereby increasing the overall pixel count and improving the display's ability to reproduce finer detail. As a result, users can enjoy a rich and immersive visual experience with vibrant colors and excellent contrast across all lighting conditions.

The TC-P46S1, with a 46-inch screen, the TC-P50S1 at 50 inches, and the TC-P54S1 at 54 inches, cater to various room sizes and viewing preferences, making them versatile options for different home setups. The displays support Full HD 1080p resolution, which guarantees sharp and clear imagery, whether it’s for watching movies, playing video games, or streaming content.

Another standout feature is the Viera Image Viewer, which allows users to view their photos and videos directly on the television using SD memory cards. This feature enhances the television's utility beyond traditional broadcasting, making it a fantastic centerpiece for family gatherings and social events.

These models also include a 600Hz Sub-field Drive technology, which improves motion clarity, reducing blur during fast-paced scenes such as sports or action movies. This technology ensures that viewers can enjoy a smooth cinematic experience without sacrificing detail.

Moreover, the TC-P46S1, TC-P50S1, and TC-P54S1 are designed with energy efficiency in mind, given the increasing emphasis on environmentally friendly electronics. They are equipped with energy-saving features that help reduce power consumption without compromising performance.

Connectivity options further enhance their functionality, with multiple HDMI ports, allowing users to connect various devices easily, from gaming consoles to Blu-ray players.

Overall, the Panasonic TC-P46S1, TC-P50S1, and TC-P54S1 televisions exemplify the blend of advanced imaging technologies and user-friendly features that make them standout choices in the realm of plasma TVs, providing an exceptional viewing experience for movie lovers and casual viewers alike.
