Notes

Great picture quality over component, thanks to the Philips jungle chip. There are actually two slight variants of the Philips jungle chip that this set can use, and the service menu options will differ as a result.

There are at least three possible tube models for this set.

Composite 240p Performance

by Eli Krause

For composite decoding this set uses a Toshiba TC90A49P, a 3-line digital comb filter. Depending on the console/revision, dot artifacting ranges from slight to severe, and blending effects may be broken. If the set has an s-video or component YPbPr input, then using a good external notch filter to decode composite instead and sending that to the set would blend all dithering patterns and remove nearly all dot artifacts (full guide here).
