ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Entering and cancel the adjustment process mode
1) While holding down the TV/VIDEO 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.

8) Plug off the LCD TV and plug ON again as
usual.
9) LCD TV is running with the latest software.
9) LCD TV is running with the latest software.
White balance adjustment
Adjustment Procedure
1) Using the remote control, set the LCD TV to adjustment mode.
2) Measure Max brightness (Lmax).
3) Calculate min. brightness (Lmin)=Lmax/5000.
4) Measure Point 2 brightness (Lhigh).
5) Set the reference value R,G,B of Point 2 (R2)=3264 x (204/P2) where P2=255 x [(Lhigh-Lmin)/(Lmax-Lmin)]1/2.2
6) Set the specified gradation for point 2, fix the most faint colour to get reference
value, adjust others 2 colour to minus adjustment for reference value of point 2.
7) Measure Point 1 brightness (Llow).
8) Set the reference value R,G,B of Point 1 (R1)=1024 x (64/P1) where P1=255 x [(Llow-Lmin)/(Lmax-Lmin)]1/2.2
9) 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.
10)Adjusted value is writing at [command] MSET0003.
11)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 pint 2)].
12)Shut down the AC power.
