Test Points
As most signals are digital, it will be difficult to measure
waveforms with a standard oscilloscope. However, several key
ICs are capable of generating test patterns, which can be
controlled via ComPair. In this way it is possible to determine
which part is defective.
Perform measurements under the following conditions:
•
Service Default Mode.
•
Video: Colour bar signal.
•
Audio: 3 kHz left, 1 kHz right.
5.2
Service Modes
Service Default mode (SDM) and Service Alignment Mode
(SAM) offers several features for the service technician, while
the Customer Service Mode (CSM) is used for communication
between the call centre and the customer.
This chassis also offers the option of using ComPair, a
hardware interface between a computer and the TV chassis. It
offers the abilities of structured troubleshooting, error code
reading, and software version read-out for all chassis.
(see also section
5.4.1
Note: For the new model range, a new remote control (RC) is
used with some renamed buttons. This has an impact on the
activation of the Service modes. For instance the old "MENU"
button is now called "HOME" (or is indicated by a "house" icon).
5.2.1
Service Default Mode (SDM)
Purpose
•
To create a pre-defined setting, to get the same
measurement results as given in this manual.
•
To override SW protections detected by stand-by
processor and make the TV start up to the step just before
protection (a sort of automatic step by step start up). See
section
5.3 Step by step
•
To start the blinking LED procedure where only layer 2
errors are displayed (see also section

How to Activate SDM
For this chassis there are two kinds of SDM: an analog SDM
and a digital SDM. Tuning will happen according to
•
Analog SDM: use the standard RC-transmitter and key in
the code "062596", directly followed by the "MENU" (or
HOME) button.
Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main
menu will appear. To switch it "off", push the "MENU" (or
HOME) button again.
•
Digital SDM: use the standard RC-transmitter and key in
the code "062593", directly followed by the "MENU" (or
HOME) button.
Note: It is possible that, together with the SDM, the main
menu will appear. To switch it "off", push the "MENU" (or
HOME) button again.
•
Analog SDM can also be activated by, on the SSB,
shorting for a moment the solder pads SDM [1] (see
Figure
5-1).

After activating this mode, "SDM" will appear in the upper right
corner of the screen (when a picture is available).
How to Navigate
When the "MENU" (or HOME) button is pressed on the RC
transmitter, the set will toggle between the SDM and the normal
user menu (with the SDM mode still active in the background).
How to Exit SDM
Use one of the following methods:
•
Switch the set to STAND-BY via the RC-transmitter.
•
Via a standard customer RC-transmitter: key in "00"-
sequence.
