Introduction
This model KV32XBR400 is a high resolution TV designed to bridge the
gap between the current analog TV sets and the forthcoming high defini-
tion digital TV (HDTV) sets. This set can accept the current standard
resolution NTSC TV transmissions, DVD, VHS, and Camcorder video sig-
nals, convert them, and display them on a high-resolution TV screen. An
external set top converter box is necessary to receive Digital TV pro-
grams.

Higher Resolution Inputs
This TV can also accept standard resolution 480p or high resolution 1080i
video signal formats from an external HDTV, satellite, or cable converter
box as component video (Y, Pb, Pr) inputs. These 480p and 1080i sig-
nals can have a wide 16:9 aspect ratio. If they do, the display will be in
letterbox format with black above and below the picture on the 4:3 aspect
ratio picture tube of these TV sets.
Only the Digital TV’s 720p resolution video format cannot be displayed on
this set. The picture will not be synchronized.

Circuitry Information
The power consumption and self-diagnostics remain the same as other
Sony TVs. This set’s change to high-resolution video results in circuitry
changes to the video processing, horizontal frequency (fixed at 33.75kHz),
and high voltage generation.

Filament Voltage - This CRT voltage comes from two sources:
•
Unregulated 7V supply from the Primary Power Supply on the A board
(used as a preheat).
•
The HOT (horizontal output transformer) after a 6Vdc regulator on the
D board (main filament voltage supply).
High Voltage Generation - An independent HV oscillator circuit with a
special high frequency flyback transformer regulates the HV to 31.5kV.
The HV converter stage is turned on only after the Horizontal drive signal
from the HOT is detected.
