PRECAUTION
WARNING FOR THE SAFETY-RELATED
COMPONENT.
• There are some special components used in LCD
monitor that are important for safety. These parts
are marked on the schematic diagram and the
replacement parts list. It is essential that these
critical parts should be replaced with the
manufacturer’s specified parts to prevent electric
shock, fire or other hazard.

• Do not modify original design without obtaining written
permission from manufacturer or you will void the
original parts and labor guarantee.
TAKE CARE DURING HANDLING THE LCD
MODULE WITH BACKLIGHT UNIT.
• Must mount the module using mounting holes
arranged in four corners.
• If you want to replace with the new backlight
(CCFL) or inverter circuit, must disconnect the
AC adapter because high voltage appears at
inverter circuit about 650Vrms.
• Handle with care wires or connectors of the
inverter circuit. If the wires are pressed cause
short and may burn or take fire.

• Do not press on the panel, edge of the frame strongly Leakage Current Hot Check Circuit
or electric shock as this will result in damage to the
screen.

• Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp

objects, such as pencil or pen as this may result in
damage to the panel.

• Protect the module from the ESD as it may damage

the electronic circuit (C-MOS).

• Make certain that treatment person’s bodies are

grounded through wrist band.

• Do not leave the module in high temperature and in

areas of high humidity for a long time.

• The module not is exposed to the direct sunlight.

• Avoid contact with water as it may a short circuit

within the module.

• If the surface of panel becomes dirty, please wipe it

off with a soft material. (Cleaning with a dirty or
rough cloth may damage the panel.)

SERVICE MODE
To go to “Service Mode”, please do the following procedures.
1. Turn off the power.
2. Turn on the power while pressing and holding the “↓” key simultaneously.
3. Press “MENU” key.
4. Select “S” on the left side of displayed OSD menu bar.

Service Mode Explanations

「COLOR TEMP」
You can set color temperature (Factory Setting Area).

「INITIAL EEPROM」
You can initialize micro computer data. Therefore, COLOR TEMP data becomes the default “128”. User
table data is reset.

「CLR. ETI」
ETI is reset, “0 H”.

「AGING」
You can change aging status ON/OFF. Default is OFF.

「WHITE BALANCE」
There are ADC（Analogue Digital Converter） calibration function and ADC MANUAL calibration function.
ADC calibration function adjustment is required when A (Main) board is replaced. Bias is usually input
on supplied service boards. MANUAL calibration function is rarely used.
* When ADC calibration is enforced, please calibrate with WHITE WINDOW pattern of Analogue VGA
signal.
** Input Signal: 31.4kHz, 600×480/60Hz and 0.73VP-P (75Ω terminate)

「DEFAULT TIMING」
You can select 1152×870 or 1152×864. Default is 1152×870.

「MODULE」
You can select γ (table) corresponded to each module.
When you replace A board or Panel, it is required to set the Panel inch size and the Panel maker name
on selecting “MODULE”.

service again, repeat the procedure described
above.
Note
W/B readjustment is required after the panel, board
and microcomputer are replaced. However, be sure to
perform aging for more than 30 minutes for RGB reset
before W/B adjustment.
2. Setup
1) Prepare timing and pattern data for a signal
generator according to the Sony timing specifications.
2) Connect a monitor video cable to the signal
generator.
3) Put Color Analyzer (ex. CA-110) 50cm away from
the monitor, specify it vertically in the center of the
display, and adjust the focus to the optimum level using
an eyepiece.
4) Put the monitor and Color Analyzer (ex. CA-110) in a
light-shielded room.
5) Set up [SERVICE MODE] of the monitor.
3. Operation
Data is manually set to improve the productivity. The
14
brightness, contrast, and backlight are set to 50, 70
and 100 respectively. After that, the default data of the
color temperature to be adjusted is set.
4. Warm up time
Warm up for 30 minutes before performing any
adjustment.
5. Adjustment for White Balance
a. Display SMPTE at SXGA / 60Hz (Input level
0.73mV).
b. Set up [SERVICE MODE].
c. Click "CLEAR EEPROM" and AC Power off.
d. Set up [SERVICE MODE] of the monitor again.
e. Click "WHITE BALANCE" and then select "AUTO".
f. Prepare timing and full black pattern.
g. Click "OFFSET CALIBRATION".
h. After offset calibration is completed prepare full
white pattern.
i. Click "GAIN CALIBRATION".
6. 9300K color adjustment
a. Select "9300K" in "COLOR TEMP" and enter.
b. Use a 35% (89Gray) IRE white video field in the
primary mode.
c. Adjust "CONTRAST" to secure the color
temperature.
d. Press "MENU" key to exit adjust mode.
7. 6500K color adjustment
a. Select "6500K" in "COLOR TEMP" and enter.
b. Repeat the adjustment procedure as steps b to d
at 9300K.
