packing case (packing materials). A special packing case
is used when a LCD panel is supplied as a service spare

(2) ATTACH PROTECTION SHEET TO THE FRONT
*The drawing may differ from the actual appearance. Since the front (display part) of the panel is vulnerable,
attach the protection sheet to the front of the LCD panel
before transportation. Protection sheet is used when a LCD
panel is supplied as a service spare part.
(3) AVOID VIBRATIONS AND IMPACTS
The unit may be broken if it is toppled sideways even when
properly packed. Continuous vibration may shift the gap of
the panel, and the unit may not be able to display images
properly. Ensure that the unit is carried by at least 2
persons and pay careful attention not to exert any vibration
or impact on it.
(4) DO NOT PLACE EQUIPMENT HORIZONTALLY
Ensure that it is placed upright and not horizontally during
transportation and storage as the LCD panel is very
vulnerable to lateral impacts and may break. During
transportation, ensure that the unit is loaded along the
traveling direction of the vehicle, and avoid stacking them
on one another. For storage, ensure that they are stacked
in 2 layers or less even when placed upright.

2.2.1 LCD PANEL
This unit uses the flat type panel LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel that occupies as little space as possible, instead of the
conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), as a display unit.
Since the unit has the two polarizing filter that are at right angles to each other, the unit adopts "normally black" mode, where light
does not pass through the polarizing filter and the screen is black when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystals.

2.2.1.2 PIXEL FAULT

There are three pixel faults - bright fault , dark fault and flicker fault - that are respectively defined as follows.
„ BRIGHT FAULT
In this pixel fault, a cell that should not light originally is lighting on and off.
For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN and find out the cell that is lighting on and off.
„ DARK FAULT
In this pixel fault, a cell that should light originally is not lighting or lighting with the brightness twice as brighter as originally lighting.
For checking this pixel fault, input 100% of each R/G/B color and find out the cell that is not lighting.
„ FLICKER FAULT
In the pixel fault, a cell that should light originally or not light originally is flashing on and off.
For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN signal or 100% of each RGB color and find out the cell that is flashing on
and off.

ADJUSTMENT
4.1 ADJUSTMENT PREPARATION
(1) This TV is adjusted by using REMOTE CONTROL UNIT.
(2) The adjustment using the REMOTE CONTROL UNIT is made on the basis of the initial setting values. The setting values
which adjust the screen to the optimum condition can be different from the initial setting values.
(3) Make sure that connection is correctly made AC to AC power source.
(4) Turn on the power of the TV and measuring instruments for warming up for at least 30 minutes before starting adjustments.
(5) If the receive or input signal is not specified, use the most appropriate signal for adjustment.
(6) Never touch the parts (such as variable resistors, transformers and condensers) not shown in the adjustment items of this service
adjustment.

 4.4.6 INITIAL SETTING VALUES IN THE SERVICE MODE
• Perform fine-tuning based on the "initial values" using the remote control unit when in the SERVICE MODE.
• The "initial values" serve only as an indication rough standard and therefore the values with which optimal display can be achieved
may be different from the default values.
• Never change the values of the items ( ) that are not described in ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE or in the below table as they
are fixed values.

then lower the other two so that the all-white screen is
equally white throughout.
NOTE:
Set one or more of <R Gain>, < G Gain> and <B Gain>

TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 SELF CHECK FUNCTIONS
5.1.1 OUTLINE
This model has a self check function given below. When an abnormality has been detected, the power is turned off and the POWER LED
flashes to inform of the failure. An abnormality is detected by the signal input state of the control line connected to the microcomputer.

5.1.2 SELF CHECK ITEMS

Diagnosis
Detection item Detection content Detection timing
signal (line)
Low bias line Confirm the operation of the low bias (3.3V/5V/ LB_PRO At 10 seconds after the power is turned on, the
short protection 12V/24V) protection circuit. self-check function starts. If NG is detected during
3.3V: Q7004 [SIGNAL PWB] 3000ms, the power is turned off automatically.
5V: Q7003 [SIGNAL PWB]
12V: Q7001 [SIGNAL PWB]
24V: IC7019 [SIGNAL PWB]

5.1.3 METHOD OF DISPLAY WHEN A RASTER IS NOT OUTPUT

In the state where a raster is not output by breakdown of the set, an error is displayed by blink of the POWER LED.
Type of error POWER LED flash cycle
Low bias line short protection LED turning on and off at 2 seconds intervals.
<Explanation of operation>
If an error is detected, the power is turned off.
Shortly after the power is turned off, the POWER LED will be blinked.
Power cannot be turned on until the power cord takes out and inserts, after the power is turned off.
