Preface

This guide presents a comprehensive course in black-and-white and color television for electronic technicians and far television servicing. The practical explanations of television principles and receiver circuits are planned for the student just starting in television. The guide is designed as a text for television courses that follow a course in radio or electronics fundamentals.

This edition has been completely revised to emphasize color television, solid state circuits, and cable television. Principles of color television are integrated throughout the entire guide since modern television is mainly in color. The first SECTION, Applications of Television, describes the many uses besides broadcasting.

Television receiver circuits are shown with vacuum tubes, transistors, and integrated circuits. However, the emphasis is on solid-state circuits in modern receivers.

SECTION 7, Television Receivers, describes the main types of semiconductor devices.

On the practical side, the guide explains troubleshooting principles that are helpful in repairing receivers. All the examples of circuits are from typical television receivers. Many photographs are used to show actual components. Common troubles are illustrated by photographs from the screen of the picture tube, including color photographs in color plates I to XV. In addition, oscilloscope photographs show actual waveshapes.

Each SECTION on receiver circuits ends with the main troubleshooting problems associated with that section. Furthermore, SECTION 19, Troubles in the Raster and Picture, describes common troubles for all the sections in the complete receiver.

Troubleshooting techniques with details on the use of the oscilloscope, meters, and signal generators are explained in SECTION 28, Receiver Servicing. This SECTION has a foldout page with complete circuit diagrams of a monochrome receiver with vacuum tubes and a solid-state color receiver, including oscilloscope waveforms and a pictorial diagram of the printed-wiring board.

Organization of contents. This fourth edition, like the first three, presents the basic material first, with continuity from topic to topic in explaining the television system.

First is an introductory SECTION on the applications of television. Then SECTIONs 2 to 6 describe the details of a television picture, how camera tubes convert the light image into an electrical signal, the scanning procedure, how the composite video signal is formed, and how the signal is transmitted.

After this analysis of the television system, the general requirements of television receivers are described, followed by a detailed description of picture tubes.

SECTION 7 explains the basic circuits in television receivers, mainly for monochrome.

Then SECTION 8 describes the principles of color television. After this, SECTION 9 explains color receivers, with emphasis on the added circuits compared with black and-white receivers, especially for the color picture tube. SECTION 10 describes picture tubes for monochrome and color. SECTION 11 explains the special requirements for color picture tubes, particularly the purity and convergence adjustments.

The circuits for each receiver section are presented in detail in separate SECTIONs. The sequence starts with power supplies, followed by the signal circuits, including video, AGC, and sync circuits. Then the fundamental receiver circuits for color are described, with a separate SECTION on automatic color circuits, including one-button tuning.

At this point, the SECTION on raster and picture troubles explains how the deflection circuits in the receiver produce the scanning raster. Both the vertical and horizontal scanning circuits are considered here, in terms of the raster on the screen of the picture tube. Then separate SECTIONs explain the details of deflection oscillators, vertical deflection circuits, and horizontal deflection circuits, including the flyback high-voltage supply.

After the deflection circuits for the raster are discussed, there are SECTIONs on the IF and rf circuits, including the FM sound signal. Antennas and transmission lines for the television receiver are explained, with a separate SECTION on cable distribution systems.

The last SECTION on receiver servicing describes troubleshooting techniques and test equipment, with details on color-bar generators. At the end are two complete receiver circuits to show how all the sections fit together.

New SECTIONs and reorganization. The importance of color television can be seen from the fact that four SECTIONs are devoted to it in this edition. Furthermore, the principles of color television are explained toward the beginning of the guide instead of leaving this topic for last. After the principles are explained, the block diagram of a color television receiver is analyzed in SECTION 9. This is a new SECTION with many important features of color receivers that do not depend on knowledge of color circuits.

The details of color circuits are in SECTION 17, and an explanation of automatic color circuits is in SECTION 18, which is also a new SECTION.

The new SECTION 19, Troubles in the Raster and Picture, has two purposes. It introduces general troubles for all the receiver sections without the need for details of the deflection circuits. Also, this SECTION shows how the vertical and horizontal deflection circuits work together to form the raster.

The requirements of an installation with multiple receivers are explained in the new SECTION 26, Cable Distribution Systems. This SECTION indicates the importance of cable TV in modern television. Last but not least, is the new SECTION 1, Applications of Television, which describes television broadcasting, color television systems, and additional ways of using television principles, including video tape recording.

Teaching aids. In this edition, each SECTION has a short introduction that describes the main features, followed by a list of the topics explained in the SECTION. As a result, the reader can visualize what material is to be learned in each step. The specific order usually helps in understanding the subject. Each SECTION also has a summary at the end.

Because self-testing materials have proved successful, the SECTIONs conclude with:

1. Self-examination questions, including multiple-choice, true-false, fill-in, and matching questions. These are based mainly on the summary. Answers are given at the back of the guide.

2. Thorough and specific essay questions for review, including functions of components and troubleshooting problems. These questions generally require drawing schematic diagrams, referring to the diagrams in the text, reviewing definitions, and applying the text material.

3. A separate group of numerical problems for practice in quantitative work. Many of these problems review the fundamentals of electronic circuits applied to television receivers. Examples include RC time constant, decibels, induced voltages, and resonance. Answers to selected problems are given at the back of the guide.

The self-testing exercises are helpful in organizing class work and reviewing the most important features of each SECTION. In addition, the guide can be used for self-study, since students can check their own progress. A bibliography at the end of the guide lists helpful references for more information on television, especially color television, and further study on solid-state circuits.

Credits. The schematic diagrams and photographs have been made available by many companies in the television field, as noted in each illustration. This courtesy is gratefully acknowledged. I want to thank my colleague Gerald McGinty for his in valuable assistance in reviewing the entire manuscript.

For the final credit, it is a pleasure to thank my wife Ruth for her excellent work in typing the manuscript.
