Sensor Amp; Auto Focus - Sony KP-43T70 Training Manual

Sensor Amp

Overview
The sensor amplifier is used when the customer or servicer presses the
Auto Focus button. It amplifies the signal from the sensors and outputs
the signal to the D/A converter on the BD board.

Auto Focus

The Auto Focus system works by adjusting centering and skew conver-
gence data to receive a memorized optimum level. The servicer can set
this level by performing the Auto Focus function in the Service Mode.
This means that the system does not pick a new optimum value when the
customer uses it but rather changes centering and skew adjustment data
to get an optimum sensor reading. The drawing below shows the position
of the sensors around the screen.
