The AppleVision 850AV Display is the AppleVision 850 with a speaker enclosure under the screen and a microphone in the top of the bezel. It has the same 20-inch Trinitron tube with a 19.0-inch viewable image, the same main deflection board and CRT/video board, and the same resolutions, from 640 × 480 to 1600 × 1200.[1][2] Apple introduced the pair in 1997 and in November 1997 renamed this model the 20" (19.0" VIS) ColorSync AV Display, with no other change.[3][1]

Everything except the sound hardware is covered on the AppleVision 850 page and in the shared guides listed below.

Sound hardware

850AV audio specifications[4]
Item Value

Speakers Stereo, ported (bass reflex) chambers; over 90 dB SPL at 1 kHz at 0.5 m; 80 Hz-17 kHz ± 6 dB; spatial enhancement circuit
Headphone output Over 0.50 V RMS into 600 Ω, over 0.55 V RMS into 10 kΩ, with a 2 V p-p line input

The sound board (922-2650) and a separate power board (922-2652) sit inside the sound enclosure (922-3051), with a heatsink, two speakers (922-3053), guide rails, left and right endcaps and an audio cable (922-3057) to the computer. The microphone (922-1502) replaces the 850's blank plate.[2] Apple's take-apart chapter has separate procedures for the sound enclosure, its bezel, the audio cable, endcaps, speakers, sound board and the heatsink and power board.[5]

Size and weight

[edit | edit source]

Apple's Service Source gives 553 × 484 × 545 mm (± 3 mm) and 35 kg (77 lb).[4] The August 1997 Apple Facts gives 21.8 × 19.1 × 23.4 in and 92.0 lb (41.9 kg).[3] The TCO 95 housing parts that Apple introduced in January 1998 were for the 20-inch ColorSync Display only, not the AV model.[1]

Maintenance and repair

[edit | edit source]

The two models share their service procedures:

The CRT anode runs at 27 kV; follow the CRT Discharge Procedure before working inside.[6]
