Technical Details
Chassis
The AV-27D104 uses the FE2 chassis, which is a 1-chip design shared with the 30 Series and other late D-Series models. This chassis cannot be RGB modded due to its integrated design. The component video input provides excellent quality comparable to RGB for retro gaming.
The 3-line digital comb filter provides quality composite and S-Video processing.
Tube Identification
The tube brand can be identified by the letter beside the serial number on the back of the set:
- R = RCA/Thomson (A68ADT25X01)
- S = Samsung (A68QDN891X001)
Tube specifications:
- Deflection: 111°
- Mask Type: Slot, 0.87 mm pitch
- High Voltage: 28kV ± 1.3kV (at zero beam current)
Audio
The AV-27D104 uses a 1.2W × 2 stereo power amplifier with BBE High Definition Audio processing.
Video Status Modes
The AV-27D104 features three video presets: THEATER, SPORTS, and GAME. Game Mode reduces input lag for gaming applications.
Red Push
The 2003-2004 D-Series models with later chassis revisions have no known service menu red push fix available.
Setup Tips
- Game Mode reduces input lag for gaming
- If component video appears in black and white, enable component in the setup menu
