White balance adjustment VGA/DVI channel
Input K-7253 8 level gray-scale signal of TIME311 and PATTERN474, enter white balance adjustment menu; adjust the third and seventh levels using white balance. Select 6500k of “mode”, adjustment offset_R, offset_G and offset_B, let the color coordinate of the third level be 308 and 316 and its brightness be 16nit more or less. Adjust gain_R, gain_G and gain_B, let the color coordinate of seventh level be 308 and 316. Adjustment offset_R, offset_G, offset_B, gain_R, gain_G and gain_B repeatedly until the value of the two levels gray-scale be 308 and 316. Select 9300k of “mode”, adjustment offset_R,offset_G and offset_B,let the color coordinate of the third level be 285 and 290 and its brightness be 16nit more or less. Adjust gain_R,gain_G and gain_B, let the color coordinate of seventh level be 285 and 290.
Select 12000k of “mode”, adjustment offset_R, offset_G and offset_B, let the color coordinate of the third level be 270 and 283 and its brightness be 16nit more or less. Adjustment offset_R, offset_G, offset_B, gain_R, gain_G and gain_B repeatedly until the value of the two levels gray-scale be 270 and 283.

Note: gain_R, gain_G, gain_B is value not above 128 and let its value 128 at least.

Adjustment TV channel
Adjustment VCO, OPTION, sub-brightness and sub-contrast Input AV color bar signal (PM5518 COLOR BAR 100%) to VIDEO 1 terminal, enter the first page of factory menu, press “enter” selecting “auto color”, display “OK” after 2 seconds; then you can finish the VCO adjustment; set the value of “option” to 10, “Hor-width” to 32 and “s-bright” to 140 as well as S-contrast to 140. set the MaxVolume according to its product standard.

Adjust offset_R, offset_G and offset_B to let color coordinate of the third level be 270 and 275 and its brightness be about 21nit. fixate gain_B to 128, adjust gain_R, gain_G to color coordinate of the seventh level be 280 and 280. adjust offset_R, offset_G,offset_B, gain_R and gain_G, repeatedly using the same method until the value of the two levels gray-scale be the specified value.

white balance adjustment YPbPr channel
input YpbPr signal of K-7253 to YPbPr-1 terminal, input TIME380(480i) PATTERN471 8 level gray-scale signal, set the value of Hor-width to 23, Ver-width to 5, S-bright to 120 and S-contrast to 140.Enter adjustment menu of white balance, adjust the third level using white balancer. Adjust offset_R, offset_G and offset_B, to let color coordinate of the third level be 270 and 275 and its brightness be about 15nit. Input 8 level gray-scale signal of TIME392(480p), TIME394(720p) and TIME396(1080i) separately, repeat the above operations to let color coordinate of the third level be 270 and 275 and its brightness be about 15nit.

FlashUpgraderNT (use under window 2000/XP/NT)

FlashUpgrader (use under window 98),

Based on the computer features, set up the serial port (COM Port). Select corresponding serial port (if it’s unable to FLASH WRITE, change to another port). Baud is selected to be 115200. Then select Reset Target After Download. Click FLASH pushbutton, it’s ready to run. For other settings, please refer to the Fig. Above (already defaulted by the system, normally no need to change). Switch on TV set the FLASH write program begins to run;

After FLASH write is over, push button “cancel” will become flash. Then shut the main power supply and it’s OK just switch it on again.
Note: Do not shut the power off or turn the TV set on during the FLASH write. Otherwise it may lead to no way for flash to rewrite
