6.1 General Alignment Conditions
Perform all electrical adjustments under the following 
conditions:
• Power supply voltage (depends on region):
– AP-NTSC: 120 VAC or 230 V
AC
 / 50 Hz (r 10%).
– AP-PAL-multi: 120 - 230 V
AC
 / 50 Hz (r 10%).
– EU: 230 V
AC
 / 50 Hz (r 10%).
– LATAM-NTSC: 120 - 230 V
AC
 / 50 Hz (r 10%).
– US: 120 V
AC
 / 60 Hz (r 10%).
• Connect the set to the mains via an isolation transformer 
with low internal resistance.
• Allow the set to warm up for approximately 15 minutes.
• Measure voltages and waveforms in relation to correct 
ground (e.g. measure audio signals in relation to 
AUDIO_GND). 
Caution: It is not allowed to use heat sinks as ground.
• Test probe: Ri > 10 M:, Ci < 20 pF.
• Use an isolated trimmer/screwdriver to perform 
alignments.
6.1.1 Alignment Sequence
• First, set the correct options:
– In SAM, select “Option numbers”.
– Fill in the option settings for “Group 1” and “Group 2” 
according to the set sticker (see also paragraph 6.4 
Option Settings).
– Press OK on the remote control before the cursor is 
moved to the left.
– In submenu “Option numbers” select “Store” and press 
OK on the RC.
•OR:
– In main menu, select “Store” again and press OK on 
the RC.
– Switch the set to Stand-by.
• Warming up (>15 minutes).
6.2 Hardware Alignments
Not applicable.
6.3 Software Alignments
Put the set in SAM mode (see Chapter 5. Service Modes, Error 
Codes, and Fault Finding). The SAM menu will now appear on 
the screen. Select ALIGNMENTS and go to one of the sub 
menus. The alignments are explained below.
The following items can be aligned:
• White point
• Ambilight.
 
To store the data:
• Press OK on the RC before the cursor is moved to the 
left
• In main menu select “Store” and press OK on the RC
• Switch the set to stand-by mode.
 
For the next alignments, supply the following test signals via a 
video generator to the RF input:
 Table 6-6
• EU/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
• US/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).
• LATAM models: an NTSC M TV-signal with a signal 
strength of at least 1 mV and a frequency of 61.25 MHz 
(channel 3).
6.3.1 White Point
• Choose “TV menu”, “Setup”, “More TV Settings” and then 
“Picture” and set picture settings as follows:
• In menu “Picture”, choose “Pixel Plus HD” and set picture 
settings as follows:
• Go to the SAM and select “Alignments”-> “White point”.
White point alignment LCD screens:
• Use a 100% white screen (format: 720p50) to the HDMI 
input and set the following values:
– “Colour temperature”: “Cool”.
– All “White point” values to: “127”.
 
In case you have a colour analyser:
• Measure, in a dark environment, with a calibrated 
contactless colour analyser (Minolta CA-210 or Minolta 
CS-200) in the centre of the screen and note the x, y value.
• Change the pattern to 90% white screen. If a Quantum 
Data generator is used, select the “GreyAll” test pattern at 
level = 230.

• Repeat this step for the other colour temperatures that 
need to be aligned.
• When finished press OK on the RC and then press STORE 
(in the SAM root menu) to store the aligned values to the 
NVM.
• Restore the initial picture settings after the alignments.

•  Adjust the correct x, y coordinates (while holding one of 
the White point registers R, G or B on 127) by means of 
decreasing the value of one or two other white points to the 
correct x, y coordinates (see Table 6-1 White D alignment 
values - LED - Minolta CA-210. Tolerance: dx: +/- 0.002, 
dy: +/- 0.002.
