Lamp Error detection
Function
This LCD color 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 500ms after it is turned on.
(A central icon on the front of the TV flash on and off.: ON for 400ms and OFF for 1600ms.)
2) If the above phenomenon 1) occurs 5 times, it becomes impossible to turn on the power.
(A central icon keep flashing on/off.)
Measures
1) Set the lamp error detection to OFF
Enter the adjustment process mode, referring to “2. Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode”.
The adjustment process mode can ignore “5 times count”, so If the above phenomenon 1) occurs 1~4 times, the lamp will go out.
If Lamp Error detection pin [22pin of PD: P3801/19pin of IC2004] is “High” by a trouble with the lamp and lamp circuit, it can boot-up by the adjustment process mode.
Please execute “Lamp Error detection off-mode”.
Unplug the AC power cord of running TV set to force off the power.
While holding down the “VOL (+)” and “CH ( DOWN )” keys on the set at once, plug in the AC power cord to turn on the power.
After a central icon flash off, separate the fingers from key on the set.
Then, you can check the operation to see if the lamp and lamp circuit are in trouble.
If you fail boot-up, retry the procedure.
2) Resetting the lamp error count
After the lamp and lamp circuit are improved from a trouble, reset the lamp error count.
(Because the power cannot be turned on, if a lamp error is detected 5 consecutive times.)
a) Enter the adjustment process mode, referring to “2. Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode”.
b) Using the cursor (UP /DOWN ) key, move to the cursor to [LAMP ERROR RESET], Line 8 on adjustment process mode service page 2/21.
c) With the cursor ( LEFT/RIGHT ) keys, select the [LAMP ERROR RESET] value.
Finally press the cursor (OK)., the count is reset.
Check LAMP ERROR Count on adjustment process mode Page 2/21.

White balance adjustment
For white balance adjustment, adjust the offset values on pages 11/21.
[Condition of the unit for inspection] : Modulated light (+16)
AV MODE: DYNAMIC
Active Backlight: OFF
OPC: OFF
Asing Time: Min, 60 minute
[Input signal condition] : HDMI 1080i 15IRE (LO), 78IRE (HI)
[Adjustment reference device] : Minolta CA-210
[Adjustment procedure]
1) Display the current adjustment status at R/G/B_GAIN (HI). (Page 11/21 of process adjustment)
The signal of 78IRE is input.
2) Read the value of the luminance meter. x=0.272, y =0.277
3) Change R_GAIN (HI)/ B_GAIN (HI) (Adjustment offset value) on page 11/21 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 or B must be fixed.)
4) Display the adjustment status of the current R/G/B_GAIN (LO).
The signal of 15IRE is input.
Change R_GAIN (LO)/ B_GAIN (LO) (adjustment offset value) on page 11/21 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter approach x =0.272 and y = 0.277.
5) Both HI and LO are repeating the step from 1 to 4 until becoming an aim value.
[Adjustment reference standard value]
Adjustment spec ± 0.002 Inspection spec ± 0.004 (point LO)
Adjustment spec ± 0.001 Inspection spec ± 0.002 (point HI)
6) After completing adjustments, set EEP SAVE (Page 21/21) to ON in the process menu to save the white balance adjustment value.
For white balance adjustment, adjust the offset values on pages 11/21.
