off.

2.3 Do not use any adapter that is not identical with the TV set. Otherwise it will cause fire or damage
to the set.

2.4 Never operate the set or do any installation work in bad environment such as wet bathroom,

laundry,
Otherwise

2.5 If any foreign substance such as water, liquid, metal slices or other matters happens to fall into the

module, be sure to cut the power off immediately and do not move anything on the module lest it should
cause fire or electric shock due to contact with the high voltage or short circuit.

2.8 When operating or installing LCD please don’t subject the LCD components to bending, twisting or

extrusion, collision lest mishap should result.

2.9 As most of the circuitry in LCD TV set is composed of CMOS integrated circuits, it’s necessary to

pay attention to anti statics. Before servicing LCD TV make sure to take anti static measure and

- Time in factory mode: Time function shall be displayed automatically. Saving the total time of system
power on (LCD turn on), and count the time automatically. The timer is continuous and saved (per 10
minutes) forever, unless it will be reset by doing “Timer Clear”.

3) Preset channel

Load preset channel for production line. (Refer 4.4.4 Preset channel table).

4) NVRAM CLEAR

Initialize program’s default values to NVRAM for following adjustment items accuracy.
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:

9

After this item is processed then the DUT needs to be powered off then AC powered off.

5) Full power
This is for power consumption testing.
To measure the maximum power consumption of TV set, we adjust the value of following items to

maximum.

- Reset settings: Channel table, 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.

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.)

Trouble shooting

1. Fault clearance

Before calling your dealer or service center for assistance, check the matters below once again.
(1) Make sure you have connected LCD TV to your equipment as described in the section

“ CONNECTING LCD TV”.

(2) Check cable connection. Verify that all external equipment and power cord are properly

connected.
(3) Verify that all power is switched on.
(4) If LCD TV still does not produce an image, re-start the external equipment.
(5) If the image still does not appear, unplug LCD TV from the external equipment and check the

external equipment. The problem may be with your graphics controller rather than with LCD

TV. (When you reconnect LCD TV, remember to turn the external equipment and TV off before

you power up LCD TV. Power the equipment back on in order of LCD TV and external

equipment.)
(6) If the problem still exists, check the following chart.

 Plug this LCD TV into the AC outlet.
 Press POWER button on side control or on Remote Control to turn on LCD TV.



Check POWER Indicator. If this indicator blank, this TV has getting trouble.

 Check the batteries.
 Make sure nothing is between the Remote Receiver and the Remote Control.
 Make sure you are not too far from LCD TV when using Remote Control.
 Maximum operating range is 5m.



Is direct sunlight or strong artificial light shining on LCD TV‘s Infrared Remote
Receiver? Eliminate the light by closing curtains, pointing the light in a different
direction, etc.

 Check the connection between the external equipment and LCD TV.
 When turning LCD TV on, it takes within 12 seconds (ATV mode) to display the

image.

 Check the system that you select is corresponding with the external equipment

or the video equipment.

 Make sure the temperature is not out of the Operating Temperature (0°C ~

40°C).



Turn off power, then turn on again, re-start LCD TV.

 Check Audio cable connection from Audio input source.
 Adjust the Sound System.
 Press VOLUME (+) button.



Press MUTE button.

 Dark or bright points of light (red, green, or blue) may appear on the screen.

This is a characteristic of the LCD panel, not a malfunction of the LCD TV.

 LCD panel is produced with very high accuracy technology. There is 99.99% or

more dot pixel, but there is also 0.01 % or less of dot pixel lack or dot pixel that
is constantly lighted. This is not defect.

 Regarding LCD panel characteristic, it may occur picture remain (look like a

mirror) when the screen is changed if it displays same screen for a long time.
Changing the picture or turn-off the power supply may recover.



Stripe pattern (more, interference stripes) may show up on the screen depends
on the reflected picture.



Adjust the value of color.



Select different color system.
