cabling. It also contains the Backplane board which is used to electrically
interconnect the printed circuit boards, power supplies and other units in the
projector, and the Video Input Cards that interface with different kinds of
input signals.

(changing its polarization) by the signal on the input side of the ILA® assembly.
The light is then reflected back from the output side of the ILA® assembly, then
travels through the prism to be picked up by the projection lens.
NOTE: The prism reflects horizontally polarized light and passes vertically
polarized light. Light from the arc lamp is polarized horizontally and reflects from
the prism into the ILA® assembly then back out again, after...

directly at or touch the Xenon Arc Lamp. Service should be performed by
Hughes-JVC certified technicians only.
Xenon Arc Lamp/Condensing Lens: High pressure, ionized xenon gas
supports a high-current electrical arc to produce the intense, white light used in
the Model 230 projector.
First Condensing Lens: The high intensity light output from the Xenon Arc
Lamp goes through the First Condensing Lens (attached to the rear of the Arc
Lamp housing)...

/LV_OK: When /LV-ENA is enabled, this diagnostic signal indicates to the
System Controller the status of the non-standby supply (all outputs working or
not working).
Operation:
The main power is filtered via the input filter to prevent radiation from escaping
back to the power line. From the line filter, AC power is fed into the Low Voltage
Power Supply module where AC is rectified, filtered, and compensated for power
factor correction.
The +5.1V...
