Starting Color Calibration

cedure with the PLUS (V+) key.
The CALIBRATE MENU shows following operational steps:

User Gamma
When the CALIBRATION alignment is started and the AAC procedure runs through, all individual align-
ment steps are marked in the window STATUS. The whole alignment take about 5 to 10 minutes re-
garding the selected accuracy and panel conditions.
The monitor switches to an internal test generator and runs through test patterns, like RED, BLUE,
GREEN, BLACK, WHITE or GREY SHADES.
Do not touch any key or send any IR remote command when AAC is running. Do not move the AAC
probe or change any other condition during the alignment.
When the calibration alignment is done, the AAC processing stops and the monitor switches back to
normal operation mode. The measured Look-up-table (LUT) is stored internally and may be used to
correct the image when the menu USER GAMMA is enabled.
The AAC alignment calculates a LUT for the selected color temperature as reference. All other color
temperatures (9.500 - 3.200 K) are calculated, not measured, based on this reference.
Close and save this menu step by pushing the MENU key twice.
