Preparations
To upgrade the main software, it is necessary
to get ready the SD card for version upgrade before you start.
Follow the steps below and create the SD card for version upgrade.
1. Insert the SD card into the SD card reader/writer. Start the SD card formatting software. Click [Format].
(When you have the drive options, select the drive where the SD card is inserted before you proceed.)
Follow the steps below and create the SD card for version upgrade.
1. Insert the SD card into the SD card reader/writer. Start the SD card formatting software. Click [Format].

How to upgrade the software
5. Shut off the AC power (i.e. unplug the AC
cord).
6. Insert the SD card for version upgrade (prepared as above) into the service socket located lower side from center at terminals, above S-VIDEO terminal in the rear of the unit, in a way that the cut corner of the SD card comes at the upper side.
NOTE: If the SD card is inserted in a wrong way, the card will go deep inside the unit beyond retrieval. Take due care to insert the SD card correctly.
7. Turn on the AC power (i.e. plug in the AC cord).
8. After the unit startup, the system upgrade screen as shown below appears within 20-40 seconds.

9. Even a single failure in the process will
trigger the upgrade failure screen as shown below. The word "NG"
changes to red for the item failed.
NOTE: In the event of a failure, repeat the upgrading process. If the process repeatedly fails, it is likely that the hardware is troubled.

screen. The version information appears after the upgrade is complete.
screen. The version information appears after the upgrade is complete.
11.Shut off the AC power to the unit (unplug
the AC cord), and remove the SD card for version upgrade.
12.Now the software version upgrade is complete.
NOTE: When you are done with the software version upgrade, start the set, go to the top page of the adjustment process screen and check the main
software version information.

Monitor microprocessor software
version upgrade
NOTE: If "Monitor version" in the process menu is "2.00M", the monitor microprocessor software can not be rewritten (because IC2002 has been
replaced with the mask type).
NOTE: If "Monitor version" in the process menu is "2.00M", the monitor microprocessor software can not be rewritten (because IC2002 has been

Get ready before you begin
Get ready the same items as listed in the
"Main software version upgrade".
Preparation
Create the SD card for monitor microprocessor
software version upgrade in the same manner as explained in the "Main
software version upgrade".
Copy the binary image file M150Mxxx.SDC (named temporarily) for monitor microprocessor software version upgrade to the SD card drive.

Adjustment of white balance
[Adjustment method]
1) Send the “monitor adjustment process” code with the R/C.
2) Set the point 6 to the specified gradation. Set the strongest color as the fixed color and adjust RGB to the standard value by minus adjustment.
3) Set the point 5 to the specified gradation. Set the correction value of G [(Initial value of point 5) x (G value of point 6) / (Initial value of point 6)] and adjust RB to the standard value.
4) Set the point 4 to the specified gradation. Set the correction value of G [(Initial value of point 4) x (G value of point 6) / (Initial value of point 6)] and adjust RB to the standard value.
5) Set the point 3 to the specified gradation. Set the correction value of G [(Initial value of point 3) x (G value of point 6) / (Initial value of point 6)] and adjust RB to the standard value.
6) Set the point 2 to the specified gradation. Set the correction value of G [(Initial value of point 2) x (G value of point 6) / (Initial value of point 6)] and adjust RB to the standard value.
7) Set the point 1 to the specified gradation. Set the correction value of G [(Initial value of point 1) x (G value of point 6) / (Initial value of point 6)] and adjust RB to the standard value.
8) Write the adjustment values with the MSET0003 command and turn off AC power.
