Preparations
1. Perform these adjustments after the NRSH
adjustment described in Section 4-4.
Adjustment procedure
1. First, adjust the G color.
2. Select GAMMA, SUB-CNT, and G: in the FACTORY MENU. If the background is white solid,
press the [ENTER] key on the Remote control
transmitter to change to [G] monochrome in the
28-tone grayscale.
3.
Adjust GAMMA, SUB-CNT, and G: in the FACTORY
MENU so that brightness of 28 steps is best.
4. Don’t adjust GAMMA, SUB-BRT, and G: in the
FACTORY MENU. Because we want to keep the
best contrast ratio.
5. Then adjust colors R and B.
Adjustment procedure
1. Make this adjustment after completing the adjustment in 4-2 Ghost adjustment.
2. Use DAC-P - V.COM - R: in the FACTORY MENU
to adjust so that the flicker at the center of the
screen is less than the flicker at the periphery.
(When the flicker is about the same across the
whole screen, adjust so that the flicker at the center
of the screen is somewhat less than elsewhere.)
3. In the same way, use DAC-P - V.COM-G: in the
FACTORY MENU to adjust the G color flicker.
4. In the same way, use DAC-P - V.COM-B: in the
FACTORY MENU to adjust the B color flicker.
Adjustment procedure
1. Make this adjustment after completing the adjustment in 4-3 Flicker adjustment.
2. Use DAC-P - NRSH - R: in the FACTORY MENU
to adjust so that the vertical lines spaced every 6
dots are as inconspicuous as possible.
(Reduce the adjustment value when black stripes
appear in the 2nd or 3rd tone from the black side.
Note that when the adjustment value is lowered,
white stripes may appear in the 2nd or 3rd tone
from the bright side. Should this happen, adjust so
that the stripes are as inconspicuous as possible.)

7. Adjust GAMMA, SUB-BRT, R: and B: in the FACTORY MENU so that low-brigtness white balance
is best.
8. Adjust GAMMA, SUB-CNT, R: and B: in the FACTORY MENU so that middle-brightness white balance is best.
9. Repeat steps 7 to 8 above, and adjust so that

PJ-TX10 (C10H)
4-6 Color uniformity adjustment
Preparations
1. Perform these adjustments after the white bal-
ance adjustment described in Section 4-5.
2. Make a color uniformity adjustment for the follow-
ing four tones.
MIN tone (approx. 6% input signal)
MID-L tone (approx. 13% input signal)
MID-H tone (approx. 25% input signal)
MAX tone (approx. 56% input signal)
3. Place the cursor on [C.UNIF.] in the FACTORY
MENU and press the [ ] key. This displays the
Adjust Tone menu at the bottom of the screen.
To choose the tone to be adjusted, press the [
key and then use the [ ] or [ ] key.
Select the major adjustment lattice point No. and
color, and then adjust them.
4. The major adjustment lattice point numbers (a
total of 17 points) corresponds to the major
adjustment lattice point positions in the diagram
on the right. The color uniformity of the entire
screen can be adjusted by adjusting the white
balance for each of the points starting in order
from the low numbers.
5. Adjustment point No.1 should not be adjusted,
because it controls the brightness of the entire
screen.
6. To temporarily turn correction off, place the cursor
on [C.UNIF.] in the Adjust Tone menu and press the
] key. The ON/OFF menu appears. Place the
[
cursor on [ON] with the [ ] key and press the [ ]
key. To turn it on again, place the cursor on [OFF]
and press the [
] key.
7. Although this adjustment can also be made using
internal signals, we will here use the [ENTER] key
on the Remote control transmitter to select the
following two signals.
Solid monochrome adjustment color (use G
]
color adjustment when a color differential meter
is used).
Solid white (use for adjustment other than
above).
8. Reset color-shading correction before adjustment.
When 4 tones and all colors are to be reset,
place the cursor on [C.UNIF.] in the FACTORY
MENU, press the [RESET] key and select
[DEFAULT].
When only 1 tone is to be reset, place the
cursor on the tone to be reset, press the
[RESET] key and select [DEFAULT].
Single tone and monochrome resets cannot be
performed.

Adjustment procedure 1
(when a color differential meter is used)
1. First adjust [MID-L] tone [G:].
2. Select adjustment point [No.2][G:].
When the background is not [G] monochrome,
press the [ENTER] key on the Remote control
transmitter to change to solid [G] monochrome.
3. Measure the illumination at adjustment points No.
2, No.3, No.10 and No.11.
The values should be:
No.2 = Y2 [lx] No.10 = Y10 [lx]
No.3 = Y3 [lx] No.11 = Y11 [lx]
4. No.2 and No.3 adjustment point have the average
of Y2 and Y3.
Y2 = ( Y2 + Y3 ) / 2 ± 2 [%]
Y3 = ( Y2 + Y3 ) / 2 ± 2 [%]
5. No.10 and No.11 adjustment point have the aver-
age of Y10 and Y11.
Y10 = ( Y10 + Y11 ) / 2 ± 2 [%]
Y11 = ( Y10 + Y11 ) / 2 ± 2 [%]
6. Then adjust [MID-L] tone [R] and [B].
When the background is [G] monochrome, press
the [ENTER] key on the Remote control transmit-
ter to change to solid white.
7. Measure the color coordinates of adjustment
point [No.1] and make a note of them.
Assume that they are x = x1, y = y1.
Note: When the CL-100 color and color differ-
ence meter is used, the [
convenient. When adjustment point [No.1]
color coordinate has been selected, set the
slide switch on the side to [
holding down the [F] button on the front
panel. The measurement shown after this
displays the deviation from measurement
point 1.
8. Measure the color coordinates of measurement
point [No.2] and adjust [No.2][R:] and [B:] so that
the coordinates are as follows.
x = x1 ± 0.005 , y = y1 ± 0.010
](delta) mode is
](delta) while
9. Similarly, measure adjustment points [No.3] to
[No.17] and adjust their color coordinates starting
in order from the small number points.
This completes adjustments required for [MIN].
Note: Since excessive correction may lead to a
correction data overview during internal
calculations, use the following values for
reference.
[No.2] to [No.5] ± 40 or less
[No.6] to [No.9] ± 50 or less
[No.10] to [No.13] ± 70 or less
[No.14] to [No.17] ± 120 or less
10. Then adjust [MIN] tone [G] so that the adjustment
data set two times as much as [MID-L] tone [G].
This completes [G] color adjustments.
11. Then adjust [MIN] tone [R] and [B].
Select [No.2] [B:] and press the [ENTER] key on
the Remote control transmitter to change to solid
white.
12. Measure the color coordinates of adjustment
point [No.1] and make a note of them.
Assume that they are x = x1, y = y1.
13. Now measure the color coordinates of measure-
ment point [No.2] and adjust [No.2][R:] and [B:] so
that the coordinates are as follows.
x = x1 ± 0.005 , y = y1 ± 0.010 (Target)
x = x1 ± 0.020 , y = y1 ± 0.040
14. Similarly, measure adjustment points [No.3] to
[No.17] and adjust their color coordinates starting
in order from the small number points.
This completes [MIN] tone adjustments.
15. Now make similar adjustments for [MID-H] tone.
(Adjust [MID-H] tone [G] so that the adjustment
data set half as many as [MID-L] tone [G].)
16. Now make similar adjustments for [MAX] tone.
(Adjust [MAX] tone [G] so that the adjustment
data set half as many as [MID-L] tone [G].)

PJ-TX10 (C10H)
Adjustment procedure 2
(visual inspection)
1. First adjust [MIN] tone [G:].
2. Select [No.2] [G:].
If the background is [G] monochrome, press the
[ENTER] key on the Remote control transmitter to
change to solid white.
3. View measurement point [No.2] and [No.3].
Lower the [G] color intensity only of the color
point whose [G] color is more intense than mea-
surement point [No.1].
4. View measurement point [No.10] and [No.11].
Lower the [G] color intensity only of the color
point whose [G] color is more intense than mea-
surement point [No.1], and raise the intensity of
the point whose color intensity is lower than mea-
surement point [No.1].
5. Now adjust the [MIN] tone for colors [R] and [B].
