Key Scan
The Key Scan circuit uses an analog circuit to generate and send voltage to
the CPU when a key is pressed. The CPU uses this voltage to determine
which key was pressed. This resistive circuit eliminates the need for
encoder/decoder devices, simplifying design and adding to the reliability of
the receiver.
The CPU performs a key scan approximately every 20ms to check for a
pressed key. When the key data change is the same for two consecutive
reads, it is determined that a key has been pressed and the corresponding
command executed.
The table below shows the voltages input to CPU pin 9 when a given key is
pressed.
Key Input
The function of the keys on keyboard and those of the remote control
transmitter are the same.
The following keys, when activated, perform a series step action. The time of
each series step action is also shown below.
A . CH Up/Down 500 ms/step.
B . Vol Up/Down 140ms/step. It takes about 9 seconds to change from
minimum to maximum volume.
Preceding and succeeding mutes are performed when turning power Off/On,
changing channels, switching Antenna mode, searching channels, changing
MTS or TV/AV mode, exchanging programs between the main screen and
PIP window, or switching Surround sound mode.
