Hello everyone, 

Recently worked on a Hitachi PTV ap14 chassis with darker than normal picture, 
no or erratic vertical sync and horizontal bending only at the bottom 1/3 or 
top 1/3 (not at the same time).

I tested the sync signal at the vertical output and horiz drive using the NTSC 
generator and found that they were locked to the generator. Also tested the 
power supply and found about 2 volts of ripple on C952, C957 & C958. Gonna 
replace those caps...

I checked the PIP and here is my concern: The small Picture is not present 
using video 2 (Pip's main source is only Video 2) and is replaced by a green 
field. Video 2 is present on big picture so the failure point must be in the 
PIP. The customer doesn't care to have the PIP replaced unless it fixes his 
scrambled Big Picture. Has  anybody seen the Big Picture lose sync in the Pip? 
Yet the horiz/vert outputs are locked to the sync. Slightly weird set of 
symptoms, I would have guessed bad sync at the outputs and looked at power 
supply, or the video jungle IC for starters. Any help would be appreciated, I 
only get 2 or 3 Hitachi units a year.

Thanks in advance,
