Please execute the following procedures to enter the adjustment process mode when the power supply shuts down.
1) While holding down the “VOL (-)” and “INPUT” keys on the set at once, touch the power supply key on the set.
Please separate the fingers from key on the set when boot-up is confirmed with lighting of a central icon etc.
After a while, The letter “K” appears on the screen. This state is in Inspection mode.
2) Next, hold down the “VOL (-)” and “CH ( DOWN )” keys on the set at once.
Multiple lines of blue characters appearing on the screen indicate that the set is now in the adjustment Process mode.
If you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the procedure.
3) To exit the adjustment process mode after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC power cord to force off the power.
(When the power is turned off with the remote controler, once unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again. In this case, wait for 10 seconds or so after unplugging.)
White Balance Adjustment
For white balance adjustment, adjust the offset values on pages 11/21.
[Condition of the unit for inspection] : Modulated light (+16), Colour temperature (High)
AV MODE: DYNAMIC
Active Backlight: OFF
OPC: OFF
Asing Time: Min,60 minute
[Input signal condition] : HDMI 1080i 15IRE (LO), 78IRE (HI)
[Adjustment reference device] : Minolta CA-210
AV MODE: DYNAMIC
Active Backlight: OFF
OPC: OFF
Asing Time: Min,60 minute
[Input signal condition] : HDMI 1080i 15IRE (LO), 78IRE (HI)
[Adjustment reference device] : Minolta CA-210
[Adjustment procedure]
1) Display the current adjustment status at R/G/B_GAIN (HI). (Page 11/21 of process adjustment)
The signal of 78IRE is input.
2) Read the value of the luminance meter. x = 0.272, y = 0.277
3) Change R_GAIN (HI)/B_GAIN (HI) (Adjustment offset value) on page 11/21 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter
approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
(Basically, G is not changed. If adjustment fails with R and B, change G. When G is lowered, the weaker of R or B must be fixed.)
4) Display the adjustment status of the current R/G/B_GAIN (LO).
The signal of 15IRE is input.
Change R_GAIN (LO)/B_GAIN (LO) (adjustment offset value) on page 11/21 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter
approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
5) Both HI and LO are repeating the step from 1 to 4 until becoming an aim value.
[Adjustment reference standard value]
Adjustment spec ± 0.002 Inspection spec ± 0.004 (point LO)
Adjustment spec ± 0.001 Inspection spec ± 0.002 (point HI)
6) After completing adjustments, set EEP SAVE (21/21) to ON in the process menu to save the white balance adjustment value.
Confirmation item
1. HDMI-CEC Inspection
After repairing the CEC function, check the operation about HDMI-CEC circuit
2. CI card Inspection
After repairing the CI function, check that the DTV signal is received in the UK setting by inserting CAM
And check the KEY certification by inserting CAM which is prepare for CI+
3. LAN Inspection
After repairing the LAN function, check the communication by connecting PC and LAN terminal.
1) Display the current adjustment status at R/G/B_GAIN (HI). (Page 11/21 of process adjustment)
The signal of 78IRE is input.
2) Read the value of the luminance meter. x = 0.272, y = 0.277
3) Change R_GAIN (HI)/B_GAIN (HI) (Adjustment offset value) on page 11/21 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter
approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
