ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Entering and cancel the adjustment process mode
1) While holding down the INPUT and Volume DOWN keys at the same time, plug in the AC cord to turn on the power. (“K” standing for inspection process mode is displayed on the upper left position of the screen.)
2) Press the Channel DOWN and Volume DOWN keys at the same time. (The adjustment process mode screen appears.)
3) To cancel it, turn off the power using the Power switch or remote control.
3. Software upgrading.
1) Plug off the LCD TV.
2) Insert the USB device to the USB terminal at the LCD TV. (Make sure that the latest software is installed in the USB device).
3) Hold the LCD TV power key and plug on the LCD TV.
4) LCD TV is on and detecting the USB device.
5) A few seconds later, LED light ( o r a n g e) will blink indicating the software upgrading.
7) T V will automatically restart whens oftware is successfully installed
8) LCD TV is running with the latest software.

White Balance Adjustment
CONDITION
Backlight : MAX
AV Mode : DYNAMIC
Active Backlight : OFF
Set the luminance meter on the centre of the screen
PROCEDURE
For the details of white balance adjustment procedure, please refer to white balance adjustment spec for Kameyama model.
1. Confirm the set condition.
2. Connect the white balance jig.
3. Through RS-232C command, adjustment mode screen is displayed.

(1) Measurement MAX Brightness
(2) Set MIN Brightness
(3) Measurement HIGH Brightness
(4) Measurement LOW Brightness
(5) Calculation H γ
(6) Calculation Lγ
(7) Calculation HIGH luminance (γ=2.2)
(8) Calculation Initial setting of R/G/B_HIGH
(9) Set Initial setting of R/G/B_HIGH
(10) Original WB adjustment is performed (HIGH)
Set the specified gradation for point 2, fix the most faint colour to get reference value,
adjust others 2 colours to minus adjustment for reference value of point 2.
(11) Measurement HIGH Brightness
(Set) R_HIGH= G_HIGH
G_HIGH= G_HIGH
B_HIGH= G_HIGH
(12) Calculation MAX luminance after WB ADJ set to γ=2.2 (L XHG)
(13) Set R/G/B_MAX
(14) Calculation LOW luminance (γ=2.2)
(15) Calculation Initial setting of R/G/B_LOW
(16) Set Initial setting of R/G/B_LOW
(17) Original WB adjustment is performed (LOW). Set the specified gradation for point 1. Set G of point 1 to the default value [(R1 x G value of point 2/R2), with fractions rounded] and adjust RB to the reference value of point 1.
(18) Adjusted value is writing at [command] MSET0003
(19) Set the G of point Max. to the default value (4080 x G value of point 2 / R2). Set the R,B Max. value [Gmax – G value of point 2 + (R,B value of point 2)
(20) Calculate the slope R2slope, G2slope, B2slope
between MAX and Point2. R2slope =
(Rmax - Rhigh )/(4080-3664)
(21) Calculate the correction value Rhigh, G high, Bhigh. Rhigh = R2slope X (3840-3664)
(22) Set the reference value R,G,B of point 2
(R2’)=R2+Rhigh
(23) Calculate the slope R1slope, G1slope, B1slope between Point2 and Point1. R1slope =
(Rhigh - Rlow )/(3664-1008)
(24) Calculate the correction value Rlow,Glow, Blow.R low = R1slope X (1130-1008)
(25) Set the reference value R,G,B of point 1
(R1’)=R1+Rlow 
(26) Shut down the AC power.#Initial value at RGB 2 point : 3664#Initial value at RGB 1 point : 1008
