Decrease B OFFSET drive from default value
(4) According to a x and y value, please following adjustment of (4)-1 or (4)-2.
(4)-1 If x value is higher than spec
Decrease R OFFSET drive from default value.
Increase B OFFSET drive from default value.
(4)-2 If y value is higher than spec,
Decrease B OFFSET drive from default value
Step 3.When finishing OFFSET parts, then recheck Gain parts .unitl Both of them meet the
target specification
Step 3. Than select
4-2.4. Exit Factory Mode:

In factory mode it is the first and important step to make sure all values are default value and correct
- Reset settings: Gamma table, Channel table (Favorite channel, Channel label etc.), Model table
(H/V Position, Clock, Phase), Source dependent setting (Contrast, Brightness etc.), Common setting
(Volume, Language etc.), Parental Control (Rating, Password etc), Closed Caption.
To avoid a mistake initial process after factory setting is done. This item will have a check dialog “yes
or no” to do the initial or not.
Notice:
After this item is processed then the DUT needs to be powered off then AC powered off.

(Contrast, Brightness etc.), Common setting (Volume, Language etc.), Parental Control (Rating,
Password etc), Closed Caption.
8) RF Burn In
Use “snow” pattern for burn in. Selected items are “On” and “Off”.
While turn on burn in mode, firmware will automatically turn off “Auto power off” function.
If there is no power supply suddenly, firmware will re-enter burn in mode automatically when power
supply is back
Pressed the “Power” key, firmware will automatically turn off burn in mode.
Burn in mode: Source is “ANT/Cable" and channel is NTSC channel 3.
9) USB F/W Upgrade
Upgrade firmware through USB.
10) UART Enable
Enable to communicate with Auto-Alignment system.
11) Bypass Gamma
For factory test value of gamma.
(6) Performance check
6-1 TV function
Connect RF to the center signal source, enter Channel menu → auto tuning, check if there are channels be
skipped, check if the picture and speaker are normal.
6-2 AV terminals
Input Video signal, check if the picture and sound are normal.
6-3 YPbPr terminal
Input YUV signal (VG859 signal generator), separately input the YUV signals listed in table4 and check if the
display and sound are normal at any situation (power on, channel switch and format convert, etc.)
