TUNER AGC ALIGNMENT
Test Set-up
“NICAM Stereo” and 60 dB PAL B/G RF signal from pattern generator will be applied.  Frequency must be set to 224.25 MHz.
  • Turn on the TV and measure the AGC voltage from Tuner Pin1 without plugging in any RF input (Around 4.12V).
  • Apply “NICAM Stereo” and 60 dB(1 mV) PAL B/G RF signal to the tuner input.
  • Enter UOC service menu (as described above), and go to “AGC Take over” setting by pressing “1” “1” “8”.
  • Measure AGC voltage from Tuner Pin1. By pressing Volume +/-; adjust AGC voltage so that the measured value at this step should be 0,5V less than the value measured at first step (Around 3.5V).
DCXO ALIGNMENT
If this alignment has not properly been done, some front end RF problems can be observed such as Nicam stereo / mono sound switching, low RF reception and color separation performance.
Test Set-up
