Superb rendition. Drawings (schematics) complete and unabridged. I do a great deal of vintage audio restoration. Documentation is essential for successful repairs. I have found sources over the years that offer good documentation, but rarely all that is necessary. Owner's Manuals has filled that void with complete and legible documentation. They have narrowed my "favorites" to a more manageable collection. This Denon manual in particular contained the latest revisions level, and offered alterations favorable to updating the item. The Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) was well enough detailed to simplify part symbols and physical locations. You will not be disappointed!
very fast detailed and accurate hope to do business again

the desired free-running frequency and the bandgap reference to obtain the correct absolute value of the output signal. The VCO of the PLL is calibrated during each vertical blanking period, when the IC is in search or SECAM mode. The base-band delay line (TDA 4665 function) is integrated. This delay line is also active during NTSC to obtain a good suppression of cross colour effects. The demodulated colour difference signals are internally supplied to the delay line. RGB output circuit and black-current stabilisation In the RGB control circuit the signal is controlled on contrast, brightness and saturation. The ICs have a linear input for external RGB signals. The signals for OSD and text are internally supplied to the control circuit. The output signal has an amplitude of about 2 Volts black-towhite at nominal input signals and nominal settings of the various controls. To obtain an accurate biasing of the picture tube the �Continuous Cathode Calibration system has been included in these ICs. A black level off set can be made with respect to the level which is generated by the black current stabilisation system. In this way different colour temperatures can be obtained for the bright and the dark part of the picture. The black current stabilisation system checks the output level of the 3 channels and indicates whether the black level of the highest output is in a certain window or below or above this window. This indication is read from the status byte 01 and is used for automatic adjustment of the Vg2 voltage during the production of the TV receiver. During switch-off of the TV receiver a fixed beam current is generated by the black current control circuit. This current ensures that the picture tube capacitance is discharged. During the switch-off period the vertical deflection is placed in an overscan position so that the discharge is not visible on the screen.
