SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by in the
Schematic Diagram and Exploded View.
It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to prevent
X-RADIATION, Shock, Fire, or other Hazards.
Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.
General Guidance
An isolation Transformer should always be used during the
servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from the AC
power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this
protects the technician from accidents resulting in personal injury
from electrical shocks.
It will also protect the receiver and it's components from being
damaged by accidental shorts of the circuitry that may be
inadvertently introduced during the service operation.
If any fuse (or Fusible Resistor) in this monitor is blown, replace it
with the specified.
When replacing a high wattage resistor (Oxide Metal Film Resistor,
over 1W), keep the resistor 10mm away from PCB.
Keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature parts.
Due to high vacuum and large surface area of picture tube,
extreme care should be used in handling the Picture Tube.
Do not lift the Picture tube by it's Neck.
Leakage Current Cold Check(Antenna Cold Check)
With the instrument AC plug removed from AC source, connect an
electrical jumper across the two AC plug prongs. Place the AC
switch in the on position, connect one lead of ohm-meter to the AC
plug prongs tied together and touch other ohm-meter lead in turn to
each exposed metallic parts such as antenna terminals, phone
jacks, etc.
If the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the
measured resistance should be between 1MΩand 5.2MΩ.
When the exposed metal has no return path to the chassis the
reading must be infinite.
An other abnormality exists that must be corrected before the
receiver is returned to the customer.
Leakage Current Hot Check (See below Figure)
Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet.
Do not use a line Isolation Transformer during this check.
Connect 1.5K/10watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15uF capacitor
between a known good earth ground (Water Pipe, Conduit, etc.)
and the exposed metallic parts.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor using AC voltmeter
with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity.
Reverse plug the AC cord into the AC outlet and repeat AC voltage
measurements for each exposed metallic part. Any voltage
measured must not exceed 0.75 volt RMS which is corresponds to
0.5mA.
In case any measurement is out of the limits specified, there is
possibility of shock hazard and the set must be checked and
repaired before it is returned to the customer.

9. Adjustment of White Balance
9-1. Purpose and Principle for adjustment
of the color temperature
(1) Purpose : Adjust the color temperature to reduce the
deviation of the module color temperature.
(2) Principle : To adjust the white balance without the
saturation, Fix the one of R/G/B gain to 80 and decrease
the others.
9-2.Adjustment mode
: Two modes of Cool and Warm.(Medium data is
automatically calibrated by the cool data)
9-3. Required Equipment
(1) Remote control for adjustment.
(2) Color Analyzer : CA-100+, CA210 or same product.
- Plasma TV(ch : 10)
(3) Auto W/B adjustment instrument.(only for Auto adjustment)
9-4. Connecting diagram of equipment for
measuring (For Automatic Adjustment)
(1) Enter the DDC adjust mode.
- Enter the white balance adjustment mode at the same
time heat-run mode when pushing the power on by power
only key.
- Maintain the white balance adjustment mode with same
condition of Heat-run.
->
Maintain after AC off/on in status of Heat-run pattern display.
(2) Release the DDC adjust mode.
- Release the adjust mode after AC off/on or std-by off/on
in status of finishing the Hear-run mode.
- Release the Adjust mode when receiving the aging off
command(F3 00 00) from adjustment equipment.
- Need to transmit the aging off command to TV set after
finishing the adjustment.
* Standard color coordinate and temperature when using the
CA-100+ or CA210 equipment.
* Synchronization relation between PSM and CSM.
(3) DDC adjustment support command set.
* R/G/B GAIN max value : 80
9-5. Adjustment of White Balance
(For Manual adjustment)
- Adjustment mode : Two modes of Cool (Dynamic) and
Warm(Mild).
(Medium data is automatically calibrated by the cool data)
- Color analyzer(CA110, CA210) should be used in the
calibrated ch by CS-1000.(PDP : CH10)
- Operate the zero-calibration of the CA-110 or CA-210, then
stick sensor to the module when adjusting.
- For manual adjustment, it is also possible by the following
sequence.
(1) Select RF no signal by pressing “POWER ON” key on
remote control for adjustment then operate heat run more
than 15 minutes.
(If not executed this step, the condition for W/B will be differ.)
(2) Changing to the av mode by pushing the input or front av
key.(av mode : av1 or av2 or av3)
(3) Display the internal pattern of the VCT-Pro IC by pushing
the IN-START.
(4) Stick sensor to center of the screen and select each items
(Red/Green/Blue Gain and Offset) using D/E (CH+/-) key
on R/C.
(5) Adjust R Gain / B Gain using F/G(VOL+/-) key on R/C.
(6) Adjust two modes of Cool(Dynamic) and Warm(Mild) as
below figure.
(Fix the one of R/G/B and change the others)
1. Push the one time the in-start key : Dynamic(Cool)
2. Push the two more the in-start key : Mild(Warm)

* Refer to the below case to know what value is fixed.
* CASE
- First adjust the coordinate much away from the target
value(x, y).
1) x, y > target
(1) Decrease the R, G.
2) x, y < target
(1) First decrease the B gain.
(2) Decrease the one of the others.
- In case of decreasing the x, decreasing the R : fix G
- In case of decreasing the y , decreasing the G : fix R
3) x > target , y < target
(1) First decrease B, so make y a little more than the
target.
(2) Adjust x value by decreasing the R.
4) x < target , y > target
(1) First decrease B, so make x a little more than the
target.
(2) Adjust x value by decreasing the G.
(7) When adjustment is completed, Exit adjustment mode
