Entering the adjustment process mode
There are 2 ways as follows:
# After power-on, press “ADJUSTMENT PROCESS” key of the remote control.
# During servicing.
While holding down the TV/VIDEO and DOWN keys at the same time, set the Power switch to ON. (“K” standing for inspection process mode displayed in the upper left position of the screen.) > Press the Channel DOWN and Volume DOWN keys at the same time. (The adjustment process mode screen appears.)

Lamp error detection
1. Function
This LCD colour TV set incorporates a lamp error detection feature that automatically turns off the power for safety under abnormal lamp or lamp
circuit conditions. If by any chance anything is wrong with the lamp or lamp circuit or if the lamp error detection feature is activated for some reason, the following will result.
1) The power is interrupted in about 6 seconds after it is turned on.
(The power LED on the front of the TV set turns red from green and keeps blinking in red: ON for 250 ms and OFF for 1 sec.).
2) If the above phenomenon 1) occurs 5 times consecutively, it becomes impossible to turn on the power. (The power LED remained red).
2. Measures
1) Checking with lamp error detection OFF
Enter the adjustment process mode, referring to 1. Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode.If there is a problem with the lamp or lamp circuit, the lamp will go out. (The power LED is green.) Then, you can check the operation to see if the lamp and lamp circuit are in trouble.
2) Resetting the lamp error count
After the lamp and lamp circuit are found out of trouble, reset the lamp error count. If a lamp error is detected five consecutive times, the power cannot be turned on. Using the cursor (UP/DOWN) key, move to the cursor to [LAMP ERROR RESET], Line 8 on adjustment process mode. With the cursor (LEFT/RIGHT) keys, select the [LAMP ERROR RESET] value. Finally press the cursor (ENTER) eys to reset the value to “0”.

White Balance Adjustment
Adjustment gradation values (IN) appear on page 7/11 of process adjustment, and
adjustment initial values (offset value) appear on pages 8/11 and 9/11. For
white balance adjustment, adjust the offset values on pages 8/11 and 9/11.

[Adjustment]
1) Display the current adjustment status at point 6. (Page
7/11 of process adjustment) The display for checking the adjustment status is
toggled by pressing the “6” button on the remote control.
(Normal OSD display > “6” > display for check (OSD disappears) > “6” > normal OSD display > • • •)
2) Read the value of the luminance meter.
3) Change M GAMMA R6/M GAMMA B6 (Adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
(Basically, G is not changed. If adjustment fails with R and B, change G. When G is lowered, the weaker of R and B must be fixed.)
4) If G is changed in step 3), change the values of M GAMMA G2 on pages 8/11 and 9/11 of process adjustment as follows. When not changed, go to step5).
Offset value of M GAMMA G2 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6) * (320/928)
5) Display the adjustment status of the current point 2. (Each time the “2” button on the remote control is pressed, the adjustment status check display is toggled.)
(Normal OSD display > “2” > Check display (OSD disappears) > “2” > Normal OSD display > • • •)
Change M GAMMA R5/M GAMMA B2 (adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
(Normal OSD display > “6” > display for check (OSD disappears) > “6” > normal OSD display > • • •)
2) Read the value of the luminance meter.
3) Change M GAMMA R6/M GAMMA B6 (Adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
(Basically, G is not changed. If adjustment fails with R and B, change G. When G is lowered, the weaker of R and B must be fixed.)
4) If G is changed in step 3), change the values of M GAMMA G2 on pages 8/11 and 9/11 of process adjustment as follows. When not changed, go to step5).
Offset value of M GAMMA G2 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6) * (320/928)
5) Display the adjustment status of the current point 2. (Each time the “2” button on the remote control is pressed, the adjustment status check display is toggled.)
(Normal OSD display > “2” > Check display (OSD disappears) > “2” > Normal OSD display > • • •)
Change M GAMMA R5/M GAMMA B2 (adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter approach x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.
