dingly.

1- Display the current adjustment status at point 6. (Page 9/11 of process adjustment)

The pattern for checking the adjustment status is toggled by pressing the “6” button on the remote control.(Normal 

OSD display -> “6” -> pattern for check (OSD disappears) -> “6” -> normal OSD display -> …)

2- Read the value of the luminance meter.

3- Change M GAMMA R6/M GAMMA B6 (adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the 

values of the luminance meter approach 

x = 0.2757 and y = 0.2825.

(Basically, G is not changed. If adjustment fails only with R and B, then G should be reduced. In this case, the weaker 

of R and B must be fixed.)

4- If G is changed in step “3”, change the values of M GAMMA G1 - M GAMMA G5 on pages 8/11 and 9/11 of process 

adjustment as follows. When not changed, go to step “5”.

Offset value of M GAMMA G1 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(160/960)

   Offset value of M GAMMA G2 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(320/960)

Offset value of M GAMMA G3 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(480/960)

Offset value of M GAMMA G4 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(640/960)

Offset value of M GAMMA G5 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(800/960)

5-Display the adjustment status of the current point 5. (Each time the “5” button on the remote control is pressed, the 

adjustment status check pattern is toggled.)

(Normal OSD display -> “5” -> Pattern display (OSD disappears) -> “5” -> Normal OSD display ->…)

Change M GAMMA R5/M GAMMA B5 (adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the va-

lues of the luminance meter approach 

x = 0.272 and y = 0.277.

6- Repeat step “5” for GAMMA points 4, 3, 2, and 1.

   

If during servicing of the LCD TV set, by software upgrading or by clearing NVM, it’s necessary check QS Temperature 

data following the method described below:

Enter in Service Mode (Factory A). 

Enter in Factory B page 1/25, by pressing “i+” key in normal R/C. 

Go to page 24/25 by pressing twice “Cursor UP” key. 

Verify and in case necessary modify according the attached list, “QS_D1” to “QS_D7” values, depending of the screen 

size.

NOTE:

-Use “P UP” or “P DOWN” for moving “up” or “down” inside the Service page.

-Use “VOL +” or “VOL -” for modifying data in “+1” or “-1” unit inside the Service page.

-Use “CURSOR RIGHT” or “CURSOR LEFT” for modifying data in “+10” or “-10” units inside the Service page.

6) Display the current adjustment status at point 1. (Press the ”1” button on the remote control to toggle between

normal display and adjustment status display [normal display � ”1” � adjustment status display � ”1” � normal
display � ...].)

7) Check the brightness values using the luminance meter.

8) Change M GAMMA R1 and M GAMMA B1 on page 10/12 of process adjustment so that the brightness becomes

closest to x= 0.272 and y= 0.277.

9) Repeat step 6) to check the values. Repeat the steps until the brightness becomes closest to x= 0.272 and

y= 0.277.

10) Repeat steps 6) - 9) for points 2, 3, 4 and 5.

See to below caution

» Enter the adjustment process mode.

» Bring the cursor on to [INDUSTRY INIT] on page 2/11.

» Use the [Volume + -] key to select a region from [EURO/UK/ITALY/

FRANCE/RUSSIA] and press [ENTER]. “EXECUTING” appears and
initialization starts.After a while, “***OK***” appears and the setting
is complete.
Note: Never turn the power off during initialization.

The following settings will be back to their factory ones.

1. User settings

2. Channel data (e.g. broadcast frequencies)

3. Password data

After adjustments, exit the adjustment process mode.
To exit the adjustment process mode, unplug the AC power cord from the outlet to forcibly turn off the power.
When the power is turned off with the remote control, unplug the AC power cord and plug it back in (wait
approximately 10 seconds before plugging in the AC power cord).

Caution: When the factory settings have been made, all user setting data, including the channel settings, are

initialized. (The adjustments done in the adjustment process mode are not initialized.) Keep this in
mind when initializing these settings.

This LCD colour television has a function (lamp error detection) to be turned OFF automatically for safety when the

lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal.

If the lamp or lamp circuit is abnormal, or some other errors happen, and the lamp error detection is executed, the

following occur.

1- The main unit of television is turned OFF 5 seconds after it is turned ON. (The power LED on the front side of TV

turns from green to red.)

2 - If the situation “1” happens 5 times sequentially, television can not be turned ON. (The power LED remains red.)

When television is turned OFF by the lamp error detection mentioned above, it enters the adjustment process with

the power LED red. Entering the adjustment process turns OFF the error detection and turns ON TV. This enables 

the operation check to detect errors in the lamp or lamp circuit.

Check whether “L ERROR RESET” on point 7, page 10/11 of the adjustment process is 1 or more. If it is 1 or more, 

it indicates the lamp error detection was executed. After confirming that the lamp or lamp circuit is normal,  reset the 

lamp error counter pushing “OK” in the R/C. After resetting counter the label  “***OK***”  appears on Screen.

After confirming that the lamp error counter has been erased, select “STAND BY CAUSE RESET” on point 3, page 

10/11 of the adjustment process and select ON using the right cursor. For execute press “OK” in the R/C and the     

label “***OK***” appears on Screen. 

There are 2 methods to update software in the VCTp: I2C method and RS-232C method.

· 

RS-232C method is allowed when the TV is working properly and the action should be only software upgrade.

· 

I2C method is required when the VCTp flash is empty or corrupted (it means, any software inside IC running).

1. A Modem-null (Cross type) DB9 female to DB9 female cable.

2. An adaptor DB9 male to mini-Din 9 pin male cable (Sharp Code: QCNWGA015WJPZ)

3. Make the connections as indicated in the figure:

To upgrade VCTp software from RS-232C external connector is necessary to use a Tera Term (Pro) free software.

Tera Term (Pro) supported operating systems:

 

MS-Windows 95 or upper

 

MS-Windows NT 3.5 and 4.0 or upper

Note.- For Windows 3.1 use Tera Term version 1.X.

Copy all the distribution files to an empty floppy disk or temporary directory (for example C:\ TEMP ).

Run SETUP.EXE and follow the instruction given by it.

After the installation, the distribution files are no longer needed, you can delete them or may keep them in the floppy 

disk.

When the Tera Term (Pro) program is used, it’s necessary to configure some settings. Follows next action to config-

ure the connection:

The hardware tools requirement are:
