Settings in service mode menu:
  • Version number:   mark the software version.  For a new initialization of the NVM values, without adjusting the geometry settings, the version number must be changed, stored, leave the service mode and start it again using the mains switch.
  • NVM reset initializes all NVM values in the eeprom IC905 with geometry values. Setting to on, store, leave the service mode and start it again using the mains switch. Before the initialization you can write the service mode parameters in the alignment table.
The following settings should be checked after each initialization and, where necessary, set properly again:

picture size:    4:3 or 16:9 picture tube
picture tube:   type of the picture tube

Important: Change this value only, if is absolutely necessary.  A change is programming all parameters of the picture tube. If you can`t find the correct type of the picture tube, select “USER PICTUB” and set all parameters manual.

TO ENTER SERVICE MODE
  • Before activating service mode set suited test pattern. Set medium brightness, color, contrast, sharpness, noise and picture mode.
  • A standard 4:3 test pattern is necessary for the geometry adjustment. The chassis for 16:9 requires a 4:3 test pattern covering the entire area to be set in the decoder mode, thus creating a horizontal extension (horizontal ellipses).
To enter service mode, press the buttons "MUTE"  "Red" (picture menu) and ‘TVon remote control one after another.

G2 [screen] adjustment
After an operating time of approx. 30 minutes set a gray bar test pattern. Actuate the G2 controller to set the cathode with the largest value (measured) in such a way that the measured value only just changes from a single –digit numerical value to a two-digit value.

Focus adjustment
Set a test pattern and set color, brightness and contrast to nominal value. With Focus control set to optimum normal focus. For bi-focus tubes (16:9/32"-tubes with separate focus block) adjust the left control (FOC-L) so that horizontal lines are refocused to a minimum over the complete image width in vertical direction. Adjust the right control (FOC-H) so that vertical lines are refocused to a minimum in horizontal direction. The adjustment must be repeated reciprocally.

Cut off / white drive (black-white balance)
Cut off: Set the three cutoff values so that the darker grey areas turn achromatic. The default values of the cutoff setting points are 50. Leave the value of the cathode with the middle controlled value as it is, set the two other cathodes.
White drive: The default values of the White Drive setting points are 128. If the picture seems too “cold” reduce the white drive blue setting point. If the picture seems too “warm” turn the white drive red setting point back.

Hints for the real-flat picture tube

The surface of the screen is covered with a laminated and 40% light-absorbent film with a hard coating. Under no circumstances may this be damaged.

Under no circumstances:-
May the screen be wiped with conventional glass cleaning fluid.
May the screen be brought into contact with abrasive materials.
May soiling be removed by polishing or scouring.
To clean off sticky substances, the cloth can be moistened with acetone.
