DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
If there is more than one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas. Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .

LED EROOR CODES AND CAUSES 

Number of times STANDY LED (Red) flashes	Monitoring Items (Screen Display)	Diagnostic Item Description
2 times	DC_DET	Main power supply voltage error (12V, etc)
3 times	DC_ALERT1	Malfunction of 3.3V line (Trident circuit, etc)
4 times	DC_ALERT2	Malfunction of 5V line (Voltage Supply to FE, etc)
5 times	DC_ALERT3	Malfunction of power supply for screen
6 times	BACKLIGHT	Malfunction of inverter or overcurrent, etc

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN DISPLAY

For errors with symptoms such as “power sometimes shuts off” or “screen sometimes goes out” that cannot be confirmed, it is possible to bring up past occurrences of failure for confirmation on the screen:
To Bring Up Screen Test
In standby mode, press buttons on the remote commander sequentially in rapid succession as shown below:

DISPAY > CHANEL5 > VLOUME + > POWER 

Since the diagnostic results displayed on the screen are not automatically cleared, always check the self-diagnostic screen. After you have completed the repairs, clear the result display to “0”.

Quitting Self-diagnostic screen
To quit the entire self-diagnostic screen, turn off the power switch on the remote commander or the main unit.

SERVICE MODE 

Service adjustments to this model can be performed using the supplied remote Commander RM-ED009.

1. Turn on the power to the TV set and enter into the stand-by mode.
2. Press the following sequence of buttons on the Remote Commander.

ON SCREEN DISPLAY >DIGIT 5 > VOLUME + > POWER ON  

Set up of AD calibration1 adjustment for terrestrial analog

2. Set: SREG_NR = 3 (High), HREG_P4_CVD2_85[2:0] = 0 and
ADJ_COLOR_PAL = 5.
3. Set the following registration items.

Screen Size	40"	46"
SREG_TARGET_Y_RF	165	165
SREG_TCD3_CONT_PAL_RF	128	128
SREG_TCD3_SAT_PAL_RF	128	128
SREG_TCD3_HUE_PAL_RF	128	128

Y signal calibration1 adjustment for terrestrial analog.

1. Input PAL colour bar 75%Y, 75%C via terrestrial input.

2. Send ECS_ADJUST_TCD3_CONT_RF command.
3. Read the value of S-REG_APL_LUMA via ECS. Confirming that the value is within spec of the table below.

S-REG_APL_LUMA >  SREG_TARGET_Y_RF±2

C signal calibration1 adjustment for terrestrial analog.

1. Send ECS_ADJUST_TCD3_HUE_RF command.
2. Read SREG_AVE_VAL_B_AREA0 via ECS. (READ_AREA = 0).
3. Read SREG_AVE_VAL_B_AREA6 via ECS. (READ_AREA = 6).
4. Confirm that 8 bits of MSB of item number 2) and 3) are within spec of the table below.

SREG_AVE_VAL_B_AREA* difference > ±2

5. Read SREG_TCD3_SATURATION via ECS.
6. Restore the original value. SREG_NR = 4 (Auto).
7. Send ECS command ADJUST_LEVEL_SETTING_CLR

Gamma Adjustment

Note: Before Gamma adjustment can begin the set needs 20 minutes aging with an ambient temperature between 22 to 28 degrees centigrade.

Preparation before Gamma Adjustment

1. Set SREG_BL_MANU<2> = 1.
2. Set SREG_MUTE_DISPLAY = 0.
3. Set SREG_BL_GAIN = 255.
4. Send ECS command OSD_OFF.
5. Send ECS command CSC_BYPASS_INIT_SET.
6. Wait for successful retrieval.
7. Set SREG_BRIGHT = 100(max).
8. Set SREG_ECO_MODE = 0(Standard).
9. Set SREG_TEST_G_LEVEL = 255.
10. Set SREG_GAMMA_EN<6> = 0(OFF).
11. Measure ‘maximum brightness’.
12. Confirm ‘maximum brightness’ dataover 410cd/m^2.
If the brightness is lower than 410cd/m^2 consider the panel as no good

Set up mode for Gamma Adjustment

1. Set SREG_BRIGHT = 50.
2. Set SREG_GAMMA_EN<6> = 1 (On).
3. Set SREG_COL_MTRX_IDX_OFF = 4.
4. Set SREG_G_GAM_IDX_OFST = 15.

Set up Trident Internal SG and Brightness measurement

2. Measure brightness A.
3. Set up SREG_TEST_G_LEVEL = 102.
4. Measure brightness B.
5. Set up SREG_MEASURE_GAM_01 = (brightness B/brightness A)*10000.
6. Send the ECS command: GAMMA_TBL_SEARCH_1.

3. Adjust SREG_WB_GAM_R(B)05 chroma values so that they are within tolerance in the table below.

40" > U0.1915 > V0.4322  > TOLERENCE <0.0008

46" U0.1907 > V0.4312 > TOLERENCE <0.0008

5. Set up SREG_TEST_G_LEVEL = 128 (50 IRE).
6. Adjust SREG_WB_GAM_R(B)04 chroma values so that they are within tolerance in the table below.

40" U 0.1912 > V0.4316 > TOLERENCE 0.0008->0.0014

46" U 0.1905 > V 0.4316  > TOLERNCE 0.0008 ->0.0014

11. The value of WB_GAM_R(B)01 is determined by the following conditions.
a).For 40 inch models
# WB_GAM_R01 = WB_GAM_R02 - (WB_GAM_R03 - WB_GAM_R02)
# WB_GAM_B01 = WB_GAM_B02 + {(WB_GAM_B03 -WB_GAM_B02)}/2
a).For 46 inch models
# WB_GAM_R01 = WB_GAM_R02 - (WB_GAM_R03 - WB_GAM_R02) x 2
# WB_GAM_B01 = WB_GAM_B02 - (WB_GAM_B03 -WB_GAM_B02)
12. The value of WB_GAM_R(B)06, WB_GAM_R(B)07 is determined by the following conditions.
a).For 40 inch models
# WB_GAM_R06 = WB_GAM_R05 + {(WB_GAM_R04 - WB_GAM_R05)} / 2
# WB_GAM_B06 = WB_GAM_B05 - {(WB_GAM_B04 - WB_GAM_B05)} / 2
# WB_GAM_R07 = WB_GAM_R04
# WB_GAM_B07 = WB_GAM_B05 - (WB_GAM_B04 - WB_GAM_B05)
a).For 46 inch models
# WB_GAM_R06 = WB_GAM_R05 - {(WB_GAM_R04 - WB_GAM_R05)} / 2
# WB_GAM_B06 = WB_GAM_B05
# WB_GAM_R07 = WB_GAM_R05 - (WB_GAM_B04 - WB_GAM_B05)
# WB_GAM_B07 = WB_GAM_B05 - (WB_GAM_B04 - WB_GAM_B05)
13. Send ECS command: WB_SAVE.
