4 Quick Start Guide
1. Make sure the SP-TUNE unit and the Sony Display are both disconnected from power.
2. Connect the SP-TUNE unit to the Sony Plasma Display using the supplied cable harness. Each
cable on the harness is labeled for the appropriate connection. Make certain to plug the Control
S phono connector into the Control S output of the display.
3. Connect the appropriate video source to input connectors of SP-TUNE (see “Connections”
chapter for details).
4. Connect audio input/output to the 8-pin mini-DIN connector of SP-TUNE (see “Connections”
chapter for details).
5. The RJ11 should be left unconnected as it is for Sony service purposes only. Warning: Damage
may occur if plug into a phone line or other RJ-11 connectors unintended for the port. This will
void the warranty.

SP-TUNE User Manual
6. Connect the power source to the Plasma Display (refer to Operating Instructions of the Display).
7. Connect the supplied 12v DC adapter to the SP-TUNE and the power outlet. Note that depending
on pre-programmed settings the SP-TUNE can switch on automatically upon attaching power
supply, or remain in a “sleep” state. In either case LEDs on SP-TUNE will blink for about half a
second, then at least the upper LED should blink periodically (see the “LED functions” section
for details).
8. The subsequent behavior of SP-TUNE depends on its mode of operation (see the “Operating
Modes” chapter). A quick way to test correctness of setup is to use the “Power” key of Sony
remote to switch the “Power” state of SP-TUNE on – (1) when pressing key on remote the upper
LED should blink fast (signaling the IR signal reception); (2) the SP-TUNE and the panel should
switch on, which should be observable on the panel.
5 Sony Plasma Settings
The EBS-SP10 (SP TUNE) is designed and tested to work with your Sony plasma monitor to provide TV
Tuner source for flexible use. To experience the best possible image quality, suggested adjustments are
recommended for your Sony plasma monitor.
EBS-SP10 Monitor Selection
The EBS-SP10 has a setting for which Sony Plasma monitor you are using with your TV tuner device.
Enter the menu for the EBS-SP10 and under General Settings, select the correct model of your Sony
plasma monitor.
Plasma Monitor Settings
Using the supplied remote, enter the Display Menu for the Sony monitor and adjust the following
settings:
1) Picture Control Menu:
For best Picture Mode for use of the EBS-SP10 with a Sony monitor, select VIVID
is STANDARD)
2) Custom Setup Menu:
Set RGB Mode to DTV
Screen adjustment (Horizontal / Vertical)
It may be necessary to adjust your display screen for best picture alignment on the first use of the EBSSP10 with your Sony display. Using the supplied Sony remote, use the HSIZE, VSIZE, HSHIFT and
VSHIFT buttons and make adjustments using the directional arrows until you fill the screen and align the
image to your preferred setting.
TVs and Displays often "overscan" the image slightly to ensure that difference in channel signals are not
reflected on the screen. You may choose to "overscan" the image and confirm that the image is filled on
the screen for different channels used.
Model Specific Configurations
PFM-50X1
Null Modem Adapter Required
When using the EBS-SP10 with a Sony PFM-42V1 or PFM-42X1, a Null Modem adapter is
provided for connection on the 9-Pin serial cable. This adapter is required for proper
communication between the EBS-SP10 and the Remote input using an RS232 Cable.
(default is PC)

SP-TUNE User Manual
PFM-42V1
Control-S Cable
Some older versions of the PFM-42V1 may require a different Control-S cable for proper IR
Sensor control between the Plasma and EBS-SP10. These units can be identified by serial
number:
Requiring Alternative Cable: PFM-42V1 Black S/N range 6500096 – 6501640
PFM-42V1 Silver S/N range 6535103 – 6539111
A standard stereo mini-jack audio cable used for PC audio can be used for this Control-S cable
6 LED functions
The two LEDs located on the SP-Tune indicate the current state of SP-TUNE and may be useful for
troubleshooting.
During the startup (after powering on) the LEDs blink as the unit goes through self-test procedures
and firmware booting. If, after connecting the power, LEDs do not show any activity, then probably there
are problems with the power supply.
If the LEDs blink in alternative pattern -- upper/lower/upper/lower/etc – then the bootblock is active
and no valid main firmware is detected. This can happen if, for instance, the preceding firmware update
procedure was aborted for some reason. The bootblock waits for the new firmware upload, see the
“Firmware update” section of this document.
During the normal functioning of SP-TUNE (when a valid firmware is loaded and self-test and
startup procedures are finished, which takes about 2 seconds), the LED functions are:
Upper LED:
• Flashes for 50ms once in 6 seconds when SP-TUNE is attached to power supply, but
is in “Power Off” (“sleep”) state. Flashes for 50ms once in 3 seconds when SPTUNE is in “Power On” state. This activity can be overridden by other activities of
the same LED.
• Blinks fast when IR signal are detected. This can be used to see whether SP-TUNE
receives any IR control packets or not. This does not mean that SP-TUNE recognizes
any IR command.
Lower LED:
• Switches ON when a control packet is sent to Sony Display Panel through RS-232.
Switched OFF when a valid reply to the control packet is received back. Therefore, if
this LED is ON for a long time, probably there are problems with the Panel
Connection (or Panel power supply).
The upper LED has also another purpose – if the SP-TUNE encounters an internal irrecoverable
error, it stops all activities and starts blinking the upper LED in series (series of blinks, then a longer
delay, then the series of blinks is repeated, so on).

Different views of the SP-TUNE:
7.2 RF connector
The coaxial connector (ANT) of SP-TUNE is RF signal input – either aerial or cable TV, UHF/VHF,
if the SP-TUNE shall be used as TV tuner.
7.3 RJ11 Service Port connector
RJ11 connector of SP-TUNE is used as a service port for Sony. Nothing should be connected to this
port.
Warning: Damage may occur if plug into a different port such as a phone line. This will void the
warranty.
7.4 Power connector
Connect the supplied 12v DC adapter to the power jack of the SP-TUNE unit.
Note that depending on pre-programmed settings the SP-TUNE can switch on automatically upon
attaching power supply, or remain in a “sleep” state.
It is recommended to connect the power supply only after all other connections are done.
8 Operating the SP-Tune
The SP-TUNE has many advanced features to enhance the typical viewing and usability of a TV
Tuner.
A user can switch the unit on or off, control volume level, switch the current TV channel, either
directly entering channel number, or browsing through valid channels using Channel +/- keys (usually
Arrow Up/Down key on a remote controller). “Valid” channels are the channels where a valid TV signal
was discovered during recent “channel scan” operation (in stand-alone mode).
Since the SP-TUNE allows to attach several additional video signal sources to its AV inputs, to
facilitate user selection of these inputs SP-TUNE maps some additional “channel numbers” to its AV
inputs. So when a user selects one of these “channels”, the SP-TUNE switches to the respective AV input.
8
SP-TUNE User Manual
These reserved channel numbers are based on the values selected in the service menu and could be setup
in many different ways as shown below.
26 - Composite video IN (Default is 126)
97 - S-Video IN (Default is 127)
108 - RGB+HV IN (Default is 128)
2 - YPbPr IN (Default is 129)
When a user changes to one of the channels above the appropriate input will display instead of the
normal TV channel signal.
Note that RGB and YPbPr inputs actually share the same connection (15-pin female VGA-like), so
channels 128 and 129 change only interpretation of this input. For instructions on selecting or changing a
“channel” for an assigned input, please see section 7.6 “Map A/V Input to Channel”
More advanced functionality differs in different operating modes, which is described in more detail
below and in the subsequent chapters of this document.
8.1 Remote Control Functions
In the Stand-alone and Service modes, the SP-TUNE is controlled using one of directly supported IR
transmitters by Sony.

No control of Plasma via RS232 connection to Sp-Tune
Cannot switch to a particular TV
channel using channel +/browse keys.
See if the upper LED of SP-TUNE is fast-blinking while
pressing key and aiming remote at IR sensor on Plasma
Display. If it is not -– check the batteries in the remote. If the
batteries are good – check the cable connections between
the Plasma Display and the SP-TUNE.
Check Plasma Display power. Check SP-TUNE power (if
the LEDs blink). Check SP-TUNE-plasma display
connection cable.
Check cable connection. If connection is ok, check model
number of plasma as some models require a null cable.
Under panel settings check to see if correct model is
selected.
The channel is selectable by browsing keys only if it is
marked as “valid”. To be marked as “valid” the channel must
have a good TV signal during the “channel scan” operation.
Repeat the channel scan (making sure aerial/cable
connection is good). Also the channel validity can be edited
manually.

SP-TUNE User Manual
9 Firmware and Startup Picture update
The internal software of SP-TUNE (the firmware) can be updated. This may be necessary to fix
errors corrected in the newer releases of the firmware, or to enhance functionality. The similar procedure
is used to update the “logo picture” that can be shown by SP-TUNE for a predefined time after power on.
For the update procedure the serial port of the SP-TUNE must be connected to the RS-232 (“COM”)
port of a PC-compatible personal computer, running MS-Windows 98, 2k, or XP operating system. For
this purpose a special cable, connecting the proper pins of 26-pin Plasma Display connector to COM port
pins is required.
The picture loading and firmware update
Note that normally the serial port of SP-TUNE is used to control Plasma Display. In order for the
port to be used for PC interface purposes, the serial Display control must be disabled.
Update procedure
1. Connect the SP-TUNE to PC using a 9pin-to-9pin RS232 null cable. Connect the power supply.
2. Switch the SP-TUNE on;
3. Use the supplied SPLdr.Exe utility to upload firmware or logo picture. This utility is Win32
command line (console) application. It can be run from within any application allowing to
specify command line (the simplest example is Windows Start\Run dialog. The command line
syntax is:
SPLdr.Exe <port_number> <filename>
where
<port_number> is a COM port number to which the SP-TUNE is connected (1-based,
that is, for COM1 this number is 1).
<filename> is the path and name of the file to be uploaded. Must be either *.BMP file
(bitmap) or *.DLD (SP-TUNE firmware) file.
Example command line to load new bitmap file is:
SPLdr.Exe 1 logo1.bmp
In this case the COM1 port is used and the new logo file to be uploaded is “logo1.bmp” located in
the current directory. If the SPLdr application or the file to be uploaded is not located in the current
directory, full file path can be pre-pended to the respective file name.
When uploading the file, SP-TuneLdr.Exe outputs the current load percentage and other state
messages to console, along with error messages.
After the successful update the SP-TUNE firmware is restarted automatically.
If the loaded firmware image is not valid (its header or checksum do not match the expected), this
firmware will not be loaded upon startup. Instead, the control will remain in bootblock, which will
wait for the new firmware image to be uploaded. This is indicated by LEDs “alternate” blinking
low/high/low/etc.
File format for logo picture BMP file
SPLdr.Exe supports conversion and loading of standard 24-bit unpacked RGB MS *.BMP files. The
recommended picture size is 852x480 pixels (width is 852 pixels, height is 480 pixels).
