ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
General Alignment Conditions
Perform
all electrical adjustments under the following conditions:
- Power supply voltage (depends on region):
- AP-NTSC: 120 VAC or 230 VAC / 50 Hz (± 10%).
- AP-PAL-multi: 120 - 230 VAC / 50 Hz (± 10%).
- EU: 230 VAC / 50 Hz (± 10%).
- LATAM-NTSC: 120 - 230 VAC / 50 Hz (± 10%).
- US: 120 VAC / 60 Hz (± 10%).
Allow
the set to warm up for approximately 15 minutes.
Measure
voltages and waveforms in relation to correct ground (e.g. measure audio
signals in relation to AUDIO_GND). Caution: It is not allowed to use heat
sinks as ground.
Test
probe: Ri > 10 MW, Ci
< 20 pF.
Use an isolated trimmer/screwdriver to perform alignments.- Alignment Sequence
- In SAM, select “Option numbers”.
- Fill in the option settings for “Group 1” and “Group 2” according to the set sticker.
- Press OK on the remote control before the cursor is moved to the left.
- In sub-menu “Option numbers” select “Store” and press OK on the RC.
OR:
- In main menu, select “Store” again and press OK on the RC.
- Switch the set to Stand-by.
- Warming up (>15 minutes).
Hardware Alignments: Not applicable.
Software Alignments
- Put the set in SAM mode.
- The SAM menu will now appear on the screen.
- Select ALIGNMENTS and go to one of the sub menus.
The following items can be aligned:
- White point
- Ambilight
- TCON Alignment
- Reset TCON Alignment.
- Press OK on the RC before the cursor is moved to the left
- In main menu select “Store” and press OK on the RC
- Switch the set to stand-by mode.
For the
next alignments, supply the following test signals via a video generator to the
RF input:
- EU/AP-PAL models: a PAL B/G TV-signal with a signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 475.25 MHz
- US/AP-NTSC models: an NTSC M/N TV-signal with a signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25 MHz (channel 3).
- LATAM models: an NTSC M TV-signal with a signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25 MHz (channel 3).

- Go to the SAM and select “Alignments”-> “White point”.
- Use a 90% white screen to the HDMI input and set the following values:
- “Color temperature”: “Normal”.
- All “White point” values to: “127”.
In case you have a color analyzer:
- Measure, in a dark environment, with a calibrated contact less color analyzer (Minolta CA-210 or Minolta CS-200) in the center of the screen.
- Adjust the correct x, y coordinates (while holding one of the White point registers R, G or B on 127) by means of decreasing the value of one or two other white points to the correct x, y coordinates. Tolerance: dx:+/- 0.002, dy: +/- 0.002.
- Repeat this step for the other color temperatures that need to be aligned.
- When finished press OK on the RC and then press STORE (in the SAM root menu) to store the aligned values to the NVM.
- Restore the initial picture settings after the alignments.

If you do not have a color analyzer, you can use the default values. This is the next best solution. The default values are average values coming from production.
- Select a COLOUR TEMPERATURE (e.g. COOL, NORMAL, or WARM).
- Set the RED, GREEN and BLUE default values according to the values.
- When finished press OK on the RC, then press STORE (in the SAM root menu) to store the aligned values to the NVM.
- Restore the initial picture settings after the alignments.

Ambilight
Every ambient
light module is aligned by a matrix and by the brightness. After replacement of
a module, the brightness/color must be aligned with the other modules:
- Go to SAM.
- Select “Alignments”.
- Select “Ambilight”. A white test pattern shall be displayed by the ambilight modules.
- Select the number of the module that have to be aligned. Module 1 is the first one which will come across according the wiring path, starting at the small signal panel, proceeding towards the ambient light modules.The first module will be attached to the next module 2. Module number 2 to number 3 etc.. as follows the way to define the ambilight module numbering.
- Align the brightness compared with the neighboring modules. The brightness is automatically stored.
- Select one of 10 matrixes which color matches most with the neighboring modules, “matrix 0” is the factory alignment and can always be retrieved.
- The alignment is stored automatically.
TCON/VCOM alignment
Sets
with forward integration have the TCON on SSB. The alignment of this TCON is
stored in the SSB, and is related to the used display. When an SSB or a display
is replaced, a new value must be entered.
A default value (see table below) is copied from the display file (after
entering the correct display code) and is shown in the SAM menu. But on top of
this, the default value can be overruled manually via the menu item “TCON
alignment”. The current value is shown
with 4 digits, and can be changed by a digit entry. After pressing “OK”, the
value is stored. The menu item
"Reset TCON alignment" can be used to return to the default value
from the display file. A notification is shown:
"TCON
alignment has been reset".

Option Settings
The
microprocessor communicates with a large number of I2C ICs
in the set. To ensure good communication and to make digital diagnosis
possible, the microprocessor has to know which ICs to address. The presence /
absence of these PNX51XX ICs (back-end advanced video picture improvement IC
which offers motion estimation and compensation features (commercially called
HDNM) plus integrated Ambilight control) is made known by the option codes.
Notes:
After
changing the option(s), save them by pressing the OK button on the RC before
the cursor is moved to the left, select STORE in the SAM root menu and press OK
on the RC.
The new option setting is only active after the
TV is switched “off” / “stand-by” and “on” again with the mains switch (the NVM
is then read again).
