Entering and exiting the
adjustment process mode
1. Unplug the AC power cord of running TV set to force off the power.
2. While holding down the “VOL (-)” and “INPUT” keys on the set at once, plug in the AC power cord to turn on the power.
The letter “K” appears on the screen.
3. Next, hold down the “VOL (-)” and “P ( DOWN)” keys on the set at once. Multiple lines of blue characters appearing on the screen indicate that the set is now in the adjustment Process mode. If you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the procedure.
4. To exit the adjustment process mode after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC power cord to force off the power. (When the power is turned off with the remote controller, once unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again. In this case, wait 10 seconds or so before plugging.)

Lamp error detection
Function
This LCD colour TV set incorporates a lamp error detection feature that automatically turns off the power for safety under abnormal lamp or lamp
circuit conditions. If by any chance anything is wrong with the lamp or lamp circuit or if the lamp error detection feature is activated for some reason, the following will result.
1) The power is interrupted in about 6 seconds after it is turned on. (The power LED on the front of the TV set turns red from green and keeps blinking in red: ON for 300ms and OFF for 1500ms.).
2) If the above phenomenon 1) occurs 5 times consecutively, it becomes impossible to turn on the power. (The power LED remained red).
Measures
1) Checking with lamp error detection OFF
Enter the adjustment process mode, referring to 2. Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode. If there is a problem with the lamp or lamp circuit, the lamp will go out. (The power LED is green.) Then, you can check the operation to see if the lamp and lamp circuit are in trouble.
Resetting the lamp error count
After the lamp and lamp circuit are found out of trouble, reset the lamp error count. If a lamp error is detected five consecutive times, the power cannot be turned on. Using the cursor (UP /DOWN) key, move to the cursor to [LAMP ERROR RESET], Line 8 on adjustment process mode service page 2/16.
With the cursor (LEFT/RIGHT) keys, select the [LAMP ERROR RESET] value. Finally press the cursor (OK) eys to reset the value to “0”.

White Balance Adjustment
[Adjustment procedure]
1) Transmit the “monitor adjustment process”
code using the remote control.
2) Set the point 6 to the specified gradation, specify the strongest color as thefixed color, and adjust the RGB so that it becomes the standard value through negative adjustment.
3) Set the point 5 to the specified gradation, set the G correction value (3200 x G value of point 6/3712) (fractions rounded off), and adjust the RB so that it becomes the standard value.
4) Set the point 4 to the specified gradation, set the G correction value (2176 x G value of point 6/3712) (fractions rounded off), and adjust the RB so that it becomes the standard value.
5) Set the point 3 to the specified gradation, set the G correction value (1824 x G value of point 6/3712) (fractions rounded off), and adjust the RB so that it becomes the standard value.
6) Set the point 2 to the specified gradation, set the G correction value (1248 x G value of point 6/3712) (fractions rounded off), and adjust the RB pattern so that it becomes the standard value.
7) Set the point 1 to the specified gradation, set the G correction value (768 x G value of point 6/3712) (fractions rounded off), and adjust the RB so that it becomes the standard value.
8) Write the adjustment value by the MSET0003 command and turn off the AC power.
* RGB initial value of point 6: Set gradation 3712
* RGB initial value of points 1 to 5: G correction value of each point
(At each point, adjustment is made so that the remainder of the RGB adjustment value/4 is equal.)
2) Set the point 6 to the specified gradation, specify the strongest color as thefixed color, and adjust the RGB so that it becomes the standard value through negative adjustment.
