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.

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
1. Set up SREG_TEST_G_LEVEL = 204.
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.
7. Set up SREG_TEST_G_LEVEL = 153.
8. Measure brightness C.
9. Set up SREG_MEASURE_GAM_02 = (brightness C/brightness A)*10000.
10. Send the ECS command: GAMMA_TBL_SEARCH_02.
White Balance Adjustment
1. Set up SREG_COLOR_TEMP = 0 (Cool).
2. Set up SREG_TEST_G_LEVEL = 204 (80 IRE).
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.
