-or-
[PWR OFF] - [DISP], [5], [PWR ON]
-or-
[PWR OFF] - [DISP], [5], [VOL+], [PICTURE], [PWR ON]
The TV will turn on in service mode.
You may need to set the television into 'tuner' mode (instead of Video-1,
etc.) before performing the service mode button sequence.
NAVIGATE IN SERVICE MODE
[1] = Moves to Previous Menu Item
[4] = Moves to Next Menu Item
[3] = Adjusts Value Up
[6] = Adjusts Value Down
[MTS] = Toggles Stereo/Mono Audio
SAVE NEW SETTING
[MUTE] followed by [ENTER] to store NEW setting to NVRAM
RESTORE USER SETTINGS
[8],[ENTER] = Restores All *USER* setting to Factory Defaults
RESET VALUES
[0],[ENTER] = Read Default Value from Stored Settings (Reset)
LEAVE SERVICE MODE
[PWR OFF] = Leave Service Mode any settings not written will be in effect
until TV is unplugged or a Reset is performed.
RETURN TO DEFAULT SETTINGS:
BEFORE storing NEW settings - unplug TV from wall, wait a few seconds, then
plug back in, turn TV set on - All settings not written will have been lost.
AFTER storing NEW settings - restore original value from list you made of
original values before adjustments and store in NVRAM.
Note: Provisions for convergence adjustments are not enabled on 27" or
smaller Sony direct view television sets.
SUGGESTED SONY SETTINGS
SONY "XBR" SERIES
TRINITONE: NTSC STD - controls color temperature - basically how greys will
appear on the monitor. The "High" and "Medium" settings make everything look
too blue.
NR: OFF - filters out high-frequency noise, at a slight loss of detail. Turn
it OFF and the picture quality improves. It also tends to degrade fine
picture detail.
DYNAMIC PICTURE: OFF - when turned ON it whitens light areas and darkens
shadow areas of the picture, creating a high contrast although less accurate
picture. Leave it OFF.
COLOR CORRECTION: OFF - when turned ON it tries to correct fleshtones but
has a tendency to mix up certain colors and make them look like a prosthetic
beige.
PROGRAM PALETTE: MOVIE: ON - only the movie mode allows the television set
to run with flat and wide video bandwidth. It also shuts OFF scanning
velocity modulation (SVM), when VMLV is run down to zero it will shut OFF
SVM for the other modes. Each mode (Movie, Sports, etc.) has a separate
adjustment memory.
SERVICE MODE ITEMS:
AXIS 0 Cleans up the red push & oranginess in the yellows
VAPI 0 Do this for all modes
VAPG 0 Do this for all modes
NRLV 0~3 Find the value 0-3 that gives the best resolution
VMLV 0 Scanning Velocity Modulation (SVM) OFF=0/ON=1
(do this for all modes)
Y-DC 0 Improves BLACK background level retention
R-YR 15 Sets the amount of RED
R-YB 15 Sets the amount of RED
G-YR 11 Sets the amount of GREEN
G-YB 9 Sets the amount of GREEN (8 or 10 may be closer)
SHPF 3 This helps with the sharpness (S-Video)
Setting R-YR and R-YB to 15 will greatly improve color accuracy and tone
down the reds. Also, when Y-DC is changed from 1 to 0, DC restoration
becomes almost perfect.
Sometimes setting items G-YR to 11 and G-YB to 9 may need some more fine
tuning using the SMPTE color bars w/gray reference [split bar pattern]
("Color Bar w/75% Gray" VEDVD-18/3, Frame VE-46673, AVS-14415 - NOTE: VE
46673 is mis-calibrated, use AVS-14415) See the section on Setting Tint &
Color Level: Matching Gray Reference for the procedure on how to adjust
these two settings.
SONY "V" SERIES
GDRV 18 Green Amp.
BDRV 14 Blue Amp.
GCUT 4 Green Cutoff
BCUT 1 Blue Cutoff
Note: The setting for AMP and CUTOFF appear to be relative and not absolute
on the "V" series - thus they may not work for your particular model TV.
WEGA SERVICE MODE ITEMS:
4BCT 7 input4 (component) Blue Cutoff (BCUT -1)
4BDR 30 input4 (component) Blue Amp (BDRV +1)
4GCT 5 input4 (component) Green Cutoff (GCUT +0)
4GDR 36 input4 (component) Green Amp ((GDRV +2)
BCUT 10 Blue Cutoff
BDRV 29 Blue Amp
GCUT 10 Green Cutoff
GDRV 34 Green Amp
DPIX 0 Dynamic Picture
Y-DC 0 Improves BLACK background level retention
HOSC 11 Fixes problem with color banding on component input
With the set off push( display,5,volume+,power) drives and cutoffs are
16-19
Use #1 or#4 to select use #3 or #6 to change value
