White
Balance adjustment
Before
adjustment, you must ensure Color Analyzer has been calibrated. Only AV1, YPBPR,
VGA , HDMI 1 need to be adjusted. It is necessary to adjustment HDMI 1 first.
Signal
and generator
The pattern of the signal should be used are White (Chroma2329 pattern113) and Grey (pattern 114).The format of signal are respectively 720p for HDMI1
(Chroma2329 Timing 69), NTSC for AV1 (Chroma2329 Timing 37),1024×768@60Hz
(Chroma2329 Timing 14) for VGA and 720p (Chroma2329 Timing 79)for YPBPR

Steps
of adjustment
1) enter the factory menu-> White Balance, select source HDMI 1 and COLORTEMP normal.
2) input grey signal in 720p format
3) change R OFFSET and B OFFSET to make sure the value of color coordination equal to (x=280+/-5,y=290+/-5).
4) Input white signal in 720p format
1) enter the factory menu-> White Balance, select source HDMI 1 and COLORTEMP normal.
2) input grey signal in 720p format
3) change R OFFSET and B OFFSET to make sure the value of color coordination equal to (x=280+/-5,y=290+/-5).
4) Input white signal in 720p format
5)
Change R Gain and B Gain to make sure the value of color coordination equal to
(x=280+/-5,y=290+/-5)
6)
Repeat step 2~5 until both of the value of color coordination of white and grey
equal to (x=280+/-5,y=290+/-5).
In addition to select COLORTEMP COOL/WARM, the adjustment method of COOL and WARM color temperature is same with that of NORMAL. The color coordination it is recommended for COOL and WARM color temperature is respectively (270+/-5,270+/-5) and (300+/-5, 305+/-5). Except select corresponding SOURCE and signal, the method of white balance adjustment for AV1, VGA and YPBPR is same with that of HDMI 1

Chip list of software programming before SMT
Following chips must be programmed before SMT by ALL-11 or other tools.
Note:
1) the software for U202( Flash software) and U203 (HDCP) of Main Board can be program using ISP tool.
2) Please check HDCP function in the process of production.
3)
EDID of VGA and HDMI source are integrated in the software for U202,
therefore, there is no need to program extra EDID software for

Software
upgrade through USB disk
Way
1
1) Ensure the software you are using has a correct file name (if the
resolution of panel is 1920*1080, the software name should be
TCL_MS19C_UPDATE_FHD.bin, if resolution is 1366*768, file name should be
TCL_MS19C_UPDATE.bin, copy it to the root directory of a USB disk.
2) Insert the USB disk to the USB socket of the set for which you are going to upgrade program.
3) Enter the Factory Menu, select USB UPDATE, press the Right button of remote control to start upgrade.
2) Insert the USB disk to the USB socket of the set for which you are going to upgrade program.
3) Enter the Factory Menu, select USB UPDATE, press the Right button of remote control to start upgrade.
Way 2:
1)
Please ensure the software you are using has a correct file name (if the
resolution of panel is 1920*1080, the software name should be
TCL_MS19C_UPDATE_FHD.bin, if resolution is 1366*768, file name should be
TCL_MS19C_UPDATE.bin, copy it to the root directory of a USB disk.
2) Insert the USB disk to the USB socket of the set for which you are going to upgrade program. Press CH (--) button in key board and switch on at the same time. Wait for 10 seconds then let off the CH- button to start upgrade.
Note:
It is recommend you use former way to upgrade if the set can work properly. In some circumstances, such as no picture, however, the set cannot be upgraded successfully by means of the former way, the later way can be an alternative. Over the course of upgrade, power supply cannot be cut off. Otherwise, to upgrade program, it is necessary to adopt ISP tool. After upgrading the software, please restart the set (power off then power on) in order to ensure the correct EEPROM data. Left figure shows the prompt after upgrade.
