ADJUSTMENTS

1.Before starting adjustments

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.

(Machine before starting repair)

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.

1)Color bar chart (Color reproduction adjustment frame) When performing adjustments using the color bar chart, adjust the picture frame as shown in Fig. 6-1-4. (Color reproduction adjustment frame)

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.

2.Modification of A, D Page Data

If the A, D page data has been initialized, change the data of the“Fixed data-2” address shown in the following table by 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, copy 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.

Processing after completing modification A, D page data:

Order	Page	Address	Data	Procedure
1	2	00	29
2	2	01	29	Press PAUSE button.

Note 2: If the following symptoms occur after completing of the“Modification A, D page data”, check that the data of the “Fixed data-2” addresses of A, D page are same as those of the same model of the same destination.

1) The power is shut off so that unit cannot operate.

Note 1: If “Initialization of Pages E, F, 1F” is executed, all data on pages E, F, 1F are initialized. (Only an individual page cannot be initialized)

Note 2: If the E, F, 1F page data has been initialized, the following adjustments need to be performed again.

1)Modification of E, F, 1F page data

2)Camera system adjustments

2.Modification of E, F, 1F Page Data

If the E, F, 1F page data has been initialized, change the data of the “Fixed data-2” address shown in the following 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 E, F, set data: 00 to page: 0, address: 10, and then select pages E, F.

3)If modification of data on pages 1F, set data: 01 to page: 0, address: 10, and then select pages F. 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, copy the data built in the same model.

Note: 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.

Processing after completing modification E, F, 1F page data:
