Notes

• Since the high quality pictures on a DVD disc contain a lot of
information, picture noise may appear. In this case, adjust the
sharpness (SHARP) in the VIDEO ADJUST menu. (See page 19.)

• Connect your DVD player directly to your TV. Connecting the
DVD player through other video equipment will cause unwanted
picture noise.

• If your DVD player can output interlace and progressive mode
signals, select the interlace output when connecting to
(component video input) on your TV.
Your TV can receive either 525i/60 Hz or 625i/50 Hz interlace
signals.

SAFETY RELATED ADJUSTMENT

When replacing the following components marked with

on the schematic diagram, always check hold-down volt-

age and if necessary re-adjust.

4-1. HV HOLD-DOWN ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove CN810. Connect HV meter to HV Block.

2. Connect External Power Supply to CN810 2 pin
(+135V) and 1 pin (GND).

Part Replaced ( )

E Board C515, C516, C554, D504, D507,

G Board IC6008

Part Replaced ( )

3. Turn on the set.

4. Slowly up the supply voltage from 0V to 135V.

5. Receive dot picture and set PICTURE/BRIGHT-

NESS to minimum.

6. Slowly up the voltage until hold-down circuit works

(picture disappear).

7. Read the HV meter of peak HV voltage.

Spec: 34.5±0.75KV

8. If Hold-down voltage is less than 33.75KV then sol-

der R1=820K.

9. If hold-down voltage is over than 35.25KV then

take-off R514 and solder R1=9.1K.

Item Number 00

This explanation uses V-Position as an example.

1. Select 00 VSH with the 1 and 4 buttons.

2. Raise/lower the data with the 3 and 6 buttons.

3. Select the optimum state. (The standard is IF for PAL

reception.)

4. Write with the MUTING button. (The display changes to

WRITE.)

5. Execute the writing with the - button. (The WRITE

display will be changed back to SERVICE.)

Use the same method for Items Number 00-99. Use 1 and 4
to select the adjustment item, use 3 and 6 to adjust, write with
MUTING , then execute the write with -.

• As for V-FREQ, by searching the bolded screen V range with

adjusting data.

Note : 1. For adjustment Items that have differnt standard data

between 50Hz or 60Hz and normal or wide, be sure to

use the respective input signal while adjusting.

2. In WRITE , the data for all items are written into

memory.

The display change from
