2.1.1.4. Recommended Workarounds for VCT 49xyI-F1
Although the field problems have been fixed successfully, there are recommendations for specific input-signals.
Please consider the following table.
Hsync Distortion
Malaysia
Speed up DRX video AGC:
- KI_CHANGE_TH=1
- VAGC_REDUC=1
none
previously
forced val-
ues now
default
remove WA
Color Sensitivity,
bar edge distortion
RC: default
NOISE_BS=15
too high
India,
Malaysia
Reduce NOISE_BS to 8
(partly adaptively when
chroma level is small)
Measured
Video S/N
1-2dB
smaller
unchanged
(0xF still
default)
keep WA
No.
Issue
Workaround for F1
Side-Effect
Plan for F2
W1
Imbalance control can cause prob-
lems when changing from high to
low RF signal levels
If TAGC_I = 0:
- set MOD_Ir = 0
- set MOD_If = 0
- write MOD_ACCU_BS = 0
(consider also W2)
none
under inves-
tigation
W2
MOD_ACCU_BS must be written
several times until value is accepted
Write MOD_ACCU_BS until readback
value matches written value (remember
that MOD_UPDATE has to be 1 for writ-
ing MOD_ACCU_BS)
none
firmware
redesign
W3
FM radio not working; root cause:
fast carrier recovery is automatically
ON in FM radio mode, should be
OFF
Set PHAC_PB to 1 in FM radio mode
only, to 0 in TV modes
none
firmware
redesign
W4
When switching to FM-Radio mode
the output frequency sometimes will
not be set correctly
Repeat switching to FM-Radio mode
and subsequently read out AFC_DEV
until the value is 0
none
firmware
redesign
W5
Reduction of NICAM sensitivity at
weak RF signal conditions
Set PHAC_PB to 1 in NICAM audio
mode
none
under inves-
tigation
No.
