8.1 General Alignment Conditions
8.2 Hardware AlignmentsFor the next alignments, supply the following test signals via a
8.3 Software Alignmentsvideo generator to the RF input:
8.4 Option SettingsEU/AP-PAL models: a PAL B/G TV-signal with a signal
strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 475.25 MHz
8.1General Alignment ConditionsUS/AP-NTSC models: an NTSC M/N TV-signal with a
signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25
MHz (channel 3).
8.1.1 Start ConditionsLATAM models: an NTSC M or PAL M TV-signal with a
signal strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25
Perform all electrical adjustments under the following MHz (channel 3).

Connect the set to the mains via an isolation transformer
with low internal resistance.
Allow the set to warm up for approximately 10 to 15 IF AFC
minutes.Alignment procedure:
Measure voltages and waveforms in relation to chassis 1. During the IF AFC-parameter adjustment, one can see
ground (with the exception of the voltages on the primary OSD feedback on the screen.

White point alignment.Measure the DC voltage on pin 1 of the (main) Tuner. You can
adjust this voltage by adjusting the TUNER AGC item in the

below 3.5 V.
No hardware alignments are necessary.
