Index of this chapter:
8.1 General Alignment Conditions
8.2 Hardware Alignments
8.3 Software Alignments
Note: Figures below can deviate slightly from the actual
situation, due to the different set executions.
8.1 General Alignment Conditions
Perform all electrical adjustments under the following
conditions:
Mains voltage and frequency: 110-240 V / 50/60 Hz (26 and
32”), 220-240 V / 50/60 Hz (37” and 42”).
Allow the set to warm up for approximately 10 minutes.
Test probe: Ri > 10 MΩ; Ci < 2.5 pF.
8.2 Hardware Alignments
There are no hardware alignments foreseen for the IBO Zapper
module.
8.3 Software Alignments
With the software alignments of the Service Alignment Mode
(SAM) the geometry, white tone and tuner (IF) can be aligned.
To store the data: Use the RC button Menu to switch to the
main menu and next, switch to ‘Stand-by’ mode.
8.3.1 ADC Gain and Grey Scale Alignment
The table below shows a number of NVM settings used for
each model of TV set. Be sure to use the correct editor in the
SAM menu (NVM Editor or SC NVM Editor), because the first
one is used for the Hercules NVM, and the second one for the
SCALER (SC) part of the TV set.
Caution:
• Do not change the NVM settings without
understanding the function of each setting, because
incorrect NVM settings may seriously hamper the
correct functioning of the TV set!
• Do not change the Scaler NVM settings, as this will
hamper the DVI / HDMI functionality of the TV set!
• Always note down the existing NVM settings, before
changing the settings. This will enable you to return to the
original settings, if the new settings turn out to be incorrect.
