For adjustments of this model, the bus data is converted to various analog signals by the D/A converter circuit.  There are still a few analog adjustments in this series such as focus and master screen voltage. Follow the steps below whenever the service adjustment is required.

To enter and exit service mode.

Before putting unit into the service mode, check that customer adjustments are in the normal mode. Use the reset function in the video adjustment menu to ensure customer controls are in their proper (reset) position.

While pressing the Vol-up and Ch-up buttons at the same time, plug the AC cord into a wall socket.  

Now, the TV set is switched on and enters the service mode.

To exit the service mode, turn the television off by pressing the power button.

In the service mode, you will see the window screen as window 1.(see all the service mode windows below). 

There are 4 adjustment categories 

2 DEF

3 SIGNAL 

4 FEATURE

5 FIX VALUE as shown below:

Press CH UP/DOWN button for selection, and enter by VOL UP or VOL DOWN buttons.

Press CH UP/DOWN button to select the adjustment item and VOL UP/DOWN buttons  to adjust the data number for each categories.

6. Adjust the master screen control until the raster darkens to the point where raster is barely seen.

7. Adjust the service adjustment "S05" red, "S06" green, "S07" blue to obtain a good grey scale with normal white at low brightness level.

8. Select the service a adjustment "S03" and reset data to "00". Select the service adjustment "S12" and reset data to obtain normal color level.

9. Remove probe and reset the master screen control to obtain normal brightness range.

White Balance Adjustment

1. Receive a good local channel.

2. Select the service adjustment "S12" and set the data value to "00" to set the color level to the minimun. 

You may skip this step, if you selected a B/W picture or monoscope.

3. Alternately adjust the service adjustment data of "S08" and "S09" until a good grey scale with normal white is obtained.

4. Select the service adjustment "S12" and reset data to obtain normal color level.
