WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT 
The following three parameters are used to make white balance adjustment. To do this, use a Colour Analyzer. Using WR (White point adjust for RED), WG (White point adjust for GREEN), WB (White point adjust for BLUE) parameters, insert the + sign in the square which is in the middle of the screen.

APR: Automatic RGB Peak Regulation (APR) Threshold
The goal of the APR function (Automatic RGB peak regulation) is to compensate the spread of contrast between sources or programs by regulating the peak amplitude of RGB signals. This results in a picture with higher contrast whatever the input signal amplitude. Besides, APR increases the contrasts of pictures with low contrast and avoids the clipping at RGB output for pictures with high amplitude. To enable APR, refer to OP3 in Option Bytes. Min. Value: 000 Max. Value: 015 Default Value : 006 The following default values are the factory settings of the corresponding items. Except Volume, all values are restored when STANDARD button is pushed during no menu is displayed. Volume is set to its default value only if the A.P.S. bit is set when the TV is turned on.
AVL: Automatic Volume Control
In order to make AVL ON or AVL OFF, press the RED button while in service menu. If AVL is ON, the AVL string occurs on the bottom right of the service menu screen. If AVL is OFF, no string occurs about AVL on the bottom of the service menu.
