White Balance Adjustment

1. Enter the customer menu and set the Picture, Color and Brightness controls to zero.
2. Apply a white raster signal to the antenna input.
3. Turn the Master Screen Control (VG2) fully counter-clockwise.
4. Place a Voltmeter at Pin 3 of the CRT Cathode.
5. Adjust 3350 (Blue Cutoff Control - on CRT Board) for a reading 110 volts DC on the
voltmeter.
6. Place a Voltmeter at Pin 5 of the CRT Cathode.
7. Adjust 3310 (Red Cutoff Control - on CRT Board) for a reading 110 volts DC on the
voltmeter.
8. Place a Voltmeter at Pin 7 of the CRT Cathode.
9. Adjust 3330 (Green Cutoff Control - on CRT Board) for a reading 110 volts DC on the
voltmeter.
10. Apply a crosshatch pattern to the antenna input.
11. Turn the Master Screen Control (VG2) clockwise until the dark areas of the cross hatch
begin to illuminate.
12. Now turn the Master Screen Control (VG2) counter-clockwise until the dark areas are just
extinguished.
13. Apply a color bar pattern to the antenna input (No chroma will be visible).
14. Adjust (in small increments) the cutoff controls (3310 Red Cutoff Control) (3330 Green
Cutoff Control) (3350 Blue Cutoff Control) to make the darkest color bar gray.
15. Adjust the drive controls (3300 Red Drive Control) (3340 Blue Drive Control) to make the
brightest color bar white.
NOTE: the controls will interact. Reduction of the Red Drive may require reduction of the Red
cutoff, etc..
CHASSIS SERVICE MODE

The Y6 chassis service mode provides information about features, software version, and error
codes. Use the following seven-button sequence on the remote control to enter the service mode:

0-6-2-5-9-6-Menu

Note that this sequence must be entered consecutively without allowing the on-screen display to
time out between entries.

To exit the service mode, turn the television off with the remote control transmitter Power button.

When the unit is operating in service mode, all normal on-screen displays are suppressed and
replaced by a special service display. A sample display is shown below.

Explanation of Display

The first number (74000 in the example shown above) is a numerical representation of the
features of the set.

The second number (00E8 in the example) is a run timer. This display will increment based on
the amount of time the set has been on.

The third number (1.16.4 in the example) shows the software ID (1), the software version (16),
and the cluster number (4).

The S indicates that the service mode is active.

The five most recent errors are encoded on the following line of the display (in the example
above, no errors have been recorded, because all five registers display zeroes). The most recent
error will be displayed in the register nearest the word "ERROR." The error codes and their
meanings are shown below:

Code Meaning
1 Micro RAM Error
3 EEPROM Checksum Error
6 EEPROM Error
7 Tuner Error (PLL)

The bottom line is a two-letter representation of the features of the set (VI in the example). The
number following the feature code will be either one or zero, depending on whether or not the
feature is active (1 means the feature is active, 0 means it is not). The two-letter codes and their
meanings are shown below:

Code Meaning
VI Factory Presets (the set will go into "setup" mode when turned on)
AC Auto Cable (sets cable/antenna during auto program)
AS Auto Scan (automatic scanning and programming of active channels)
VL Volume Limiter
AV Aux Input
WU Wake Up

Note that if the memory IC (EEPROM) is replaced during service, the microprocessor will write
default values into the EEPROM when the set is initially powered on. No other action is required
of the servicer except to set features.

To exit the service mode and erase the error codes, turn the unit off with the power button on the
remote control, then unplug the ac cord. Breaking the ac ensures that the microprocessor will

download new settings from the EEPROM IC when power is reapplied to the set. To save the
error codes, unplug the ac cord without turning off the set. When the power is turned back on, the
service mode will still be active.
