JVC LT-20A5 _ SERVICE MODE _ FIRMWARE CHECK
FIRMWARE CHECK
- Press the [MUTING] key and the [DISPLAY] key simultaneously, and the FACTORY MODE screen will be displayed.
- The FIRMWARE VERSION is displayed in the upper left on the FACTORY MODE screen.
- Press the [POWER] key or the [BACK] key to exit the FACTORY MODE.
- Do not change setting values of FACTORY MODE screen.
NOTE:
- The picture brightness may become uneven on the entire screen according to the environmental temperature. Be sure to use your monitor set in a specified temperature range for proper display presentation.
- Avoid disturbing the heat dissipation from the vent holes provided in the rear, on the top and at the sides. Failure to do so may result in damaged electronics inside due to the accumulated heat within the unit.
- Be sure to install the unit in a well-ventilated place. Also make sure that the ambient temperature is kept in the range of 0 to 35°C.
- Avoid operation or storage in high temperature and humidity that exceed the specified limit. Otherwise, the display presentation may be deteriorated.
- This monitor may display a blurred picture when exposed to an extreme environmental conditions. This phenomenon is due to an intrinsic characteristic of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). This is not the failure.
- This monitor display uses a Cold Cathode Tube as a backlighting device. The brilliance of this tube (and the monitor display) may be degraded by time.
The Liquid Crystal Display used for
this unit is of a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) type panel. The structure of this
panel is that a TFT array-formed substrate and the stripe pixel matrix type
color filter substrate are pressed together with a liquid crystal filled in
between these materials.
A minute amount of ionic material
could be mingled into a liquid crystal substrate in the manufacturing process.
By applying the electricity to the panel the ionic material may be migrated
towards one part of the electrodes, causing a long-term afterimage to be displayed.
In practice, when a still image is displayed for a long time, the afterimage
may be developed and persisted. To cure this problem, turn off the unit and
then turn on again and arrange displaying an appropriate still image on the
portion where the afterimage is being superimposed.
The LCD is slower than the CRT in terms of the
display refresh rate, causing a fast moving picture may be displayed blurred.
This is not fault but caused by an intrinsic characteristic of the LCD.
This LCD uses a wide-angle liquid
crystal panel, featuring a low rate of the brightness inversion. When viewed
from a far outer angle, the screen may be displayed with hue variation. Again,
this is not fault but caused by an intrinsic characteristic of the LCD.
The liquid crystal panel is
manufactured with precise engineering procedure. However, there is a
possibility of yielding a little amount of defective pixels in part on the
panel. This is unavoidable feature even if the latest technology is being used
for manufacturing the LCD module.
Be sure to use the rated fuse. After
replacing the fuse, confirm that the insulator is stuck on the shielding
surface for secure insulation.
