Importance of AFC • Receivers that have provisions for remote tinning have no provision for remote fine tuning • Color receivers that have provisions for remote tuning to obtain the best color reproduction • Many customers found it difficult to adjust the manual fine tuning control property • A very slight drift in the frequency of the tuner oscillator causes a loss of color picture quality
Troubleshooting AFT circuits • Weak or no AFT performance • No picture no sound raster ok • Large tuning error • Moment to moment picture variations
Causes of AFT problems • A defective transistor or associated circuits • A defective transformer • defective IC or associated circuits such as an open coil • Misalignment of the AFT tuned circuits • Incorrect power supply voltage • Defective varactor • Incorect varactor voltage
Large tuning error on channels that originates form the varactor • DC amplifier balance change caused by the change in resistor anywhere in the DC amplifier • Defective varactor
Remote control Capability • Change channel • Adjust volume • Adjust picture • Adjust contrast • Adjust sharpness • Sound quality adjustment • Power switch
Remote controls • Ultrasonic Transmitter • Acoustic transmitter • Function by tune signals from receiver to transmitter
Kinds of remote control faults • Weak intensive response on all function • Dead all function • Dead on some function but not all
Electronic memory remote control • Producing ultrasonic sound through electronic circuit controlled system.
Infrared system • Using invisible infrared signal • Digitally modulated infrared signal 42 KHz sensed by infrared diodes.
