Service Mode Entry and Exit
Using the remote control transmitter, enter the following seven-button sequence
to activate the service mode:
1. Digit 0
2. Digit 6
3. Digit 2
4. Digit 5
5. Digit 9
6. Digit 6

Depressing the power button on the front of the PTV will
exit the service mode, save the current modification, and turn the set off. Important There are 95 registers
within this system. Some of data held in these registers should not be altered and some of the other registers are
factory set and unique to the unit under test. This procedure
could save a significant amount of time should a mistake occur which causes an undesirable condition to the
unit under test.
Description of Service Mode
The service mode is used for changing service control register values from
their default values to new values; this includes all factory-preset conditions.
When entering the service mode, the tuning system will attempt to retrieve the current register values stored in the EEPROM (7304). If the EEPROM has never been programmed, default data values will be stored.
Pressing the power button on the front of the PTV while in this service mode, or setting the value of Register 00 to "00" will cause the tuning system to write all modified values to the EEPROM IC before chassis power is turned off.

Service Adjustment Notes
Unless otherwise specified:
1. All service adjustments are "hot" voltagewise. For maximum safety, ensure the use of properly insulated tools.
2. Many of the following adjustments are made through software intervention. The user remote control transmitter is required in order to modify register values stored within the EEPROM IC on the Main Chassis Board Assembly.
3. Grid locations (e.g., D-2) next to control reference numbers refer to PC board zone locations.

PROGRAMMING FACTORY DEFAULT VALUES
The chassis is controlled by an onboard microcomputer and peripheral parts
which make up the tuning system. The customer picture and sound adjustments are made using either the
on-set keyboard or the remote control transmitter to enter commands. There are onscreen graphics to
show the menu list of adjustments. Service mode makes it possible to change the values of special memory registers
in the EEPROM (7304). These registers control the customer adjustments, PIP setups, graphics
intensity, and clock calibration. Theseregisters also make possible many other service adjustments which previously would have been controlled by conventional components mounted on the PC board.
