(Machine before starting repair)

(Machine after a board is replaced)

PC PC

Save the EVR data to a personal computer.

Download the saved data to a machine.

EVR Data Re-writing Procedure When Replacing Board

The data that is stored in the repair board, is not necessarily correct.

Perform either procedure 1 or procedure 2 or procedure 3 when replacing board.

Procedure 1

Save the EVR data of the machine in which a board is going to be replaced. Download the saved data after a board is replaced.

SECTION 6

ADJUSTMENTS

Procedure 2

Remove the EEPROM from the board of the machine that is going to be repaired. Install the removed EEPROM to the replaced board.

Remove the EEPROM and install it.

(Former board)

(New board)

Procedure 3

When the data cannot be saved due to defective EEPROM, or when the EEPROM cannot be removed or installed, save the data from the same model of the same destination, and download it.

(Machine to be repaired) (Machine to be repaired)

Download the data.

(The same model of the same destination)

After the EVR data is saved and downloaded, chec k the respective items of the EVR data. (Refer to page 6-3 or 6-5 for the items to be checked)

2) Mixed color compensation chart (Color reproduction adjustment frame) Remove the color bar chart from the pattern box and insert a mixed color compensation chart in its place. (Do not perform zoom operations during this time)

3) Chart for flange back adjustment

Join together a piece of white A0 size paper (1189mm × 841 mm) and a piece of black paper to make the chart shown in Fig. 6-1-5.

Note: Use a non-reflecting and non-glazing vellum paper. The

size must be A0 or larger and the joint between the white and black paper must not have any undulations.

If the A, D page data has been initialized, change the data of the“Fixed data-2” address shown in the following table b y manual input.

Modifying method:

1) Before changing the data, select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.

2) New data for changing are not shown in the tables because they are different in destination. When changing the data, cop y the data built in the same model. Note 1: If copy the data built in the different model, the

camcorder may not operate.

3) When changing the data, press the PAUSE button of the adjustment remote commander each time when setting new data to write the data in the non-volatile memory.

4) Check that the data of adjustment addresses is the initial value. If not, change the data to the initial value.

If the A, B, D, 1A, 1B page data has been initialized, change the data of the “Fixed data-2” address shown in the follo wing table by manual input.

Modifying Method:

1) Before changing the data, select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 01.

2) If modification of data on pages A, B, D, set data: 00 to page: 0, address: 10, and then select pages A, B, D.

3) If modification of data on pages 1A, 1B, set data: 01 to page: 0, address: 10, and then select pages A, B. After the modification of data finished, return the data on page: 0, address: 10 to “00”.

4) New data for changing are not shown in the tables because they are different in destination. When changing the data, cop y the data built in the same model. Note 1: If copy the data built in the different model, the

camcorder may not operate.

5) When changing the data, press the PAUSE button of the adjustment remote commander each time when setting new data to write the data in the non-volatile memory.

6) Check that the data of adjustment addresses is the initial value. If not, change the data to the initial value.
