Alignment & Adjustment

3. Alignment & Adjustment

3-1 Service Instruction
1. General Adjustment :
In general, a color TV can provide ideal visual quality by adjusting the basic settings such as the vertical size, horizontal size,
focus, etc.
Display a black and white picture on the screen to check if the picture is clearly displayed.
If there are some 'spotted' points on the screen when displaying a black and white picture, degauss the screen using the
degauss coil. If the spotted points remain, re-adjust the purity and the convergence. This completes the basic performance
examination.
Notice.
These adjustments and the check list are only applied to K62A chassis-applied models.
Only use 110V for the measurement set. It is recommended using an insulation transformer when supplying power to
the set so as to prevent shock to the set or to yourself.
These adjustment specifications have been created on the basis of the domestic K62A chassis-applied remote control
model. Some of the contents may be changed subject to the sales location and the product specifications.
2. When replacing the System Board :
Since the software is loaded to the flash memory of the system board, check the version of the software after replacing the
board.
To check the version of the software, select Menu-Settings-Function Help-Settings and press the "Information Display" key on
the remote control. The software information will then be displayed below the OSD menu.
The notation of the software information : For example, T_COREAUS0_0013 refers to
"CORE BASIC MODEL USA. ver0013".
Since the settings including the Channel information, Deflection, etc. are saved to the
nvRAM, reconfigure these settings when replacing the System Board.
3. When replacing the Deflection Board :
Tilt adjustment, focus adjustment, screen voltage setting and W/B adjustment are all required.
4. When replacing the Power Board : No adjustments required.
5. When replacing the CRT Ass'y : No adjustments required.
6. When replacing the front panel master power switch : No adjustments required.
7. When replacing the Side AV : No adjustments required.
8. When replacing the control switch : No adjustments required.

Check that the Anynet Port is set to Svc.

2. If it is not set to Svc, set it to Svc using the left and right
direction keys and turn the TV set off.

3. When the TV set is turned off, connect the serial cable for
download to the Svc port of the TV set and the COM port
of the computer.

4. Turn the TV set on and check the screen display status. Prepare the download software, sdown.bat, and the image of the
corresponding version of the software on the computer.

5. While the TV set is on, run sdown.bat.

When the percentage of the Reading File becomes 100%,
turn the TV set off using the transmitter.

6. The software is automatically downloaded to the TV.

Notice: Take care when downloading the software, because if the set is turned on while writing the corresponding image data to
the flash memory, the flash memory will be damaged and has to be replaced.

7. When the write operation is complete, disconnect the power cord of the TV set.
When the power LED is turned off (after approximately 10 seconds), separate the serial cable from the TV and turn the TV on
and check the version of the software.
Notice: If you separate the serial cable from the TV before the power LED is turned off, the COM port of the computer may be
damaged. Ensure that the serial cable is not separated from the TV and the computer, until the power LED is turned off.

Separate the serial cable only

after the power LED is turned off.
