Service menu
This is the
default settings from my service menu on 1011.2 (on a LE52A656). For the above calibration
nothing in my service menu has been changed, but to get optimal results you will have to change your settings to these (they are not the same on each set). These settings might also remove some of the problems with a purple tint on some LE46A656 sets.
1. Enter the service menu by turning off the tv. Press "info", "menu", "mute" and "power" on the remote.
2. Select WB Adjust menu (arrow down, ok).
3. Select Movie WB (arrow down x 3, ok).
4. Turn W/B Movie to "ON" (right arrow).
5. Change the Warm2 settings - Warm2 R Gain, Warm2 B Gain, Warm2 R Offs, Warm2 B Offs. (using only arrow keys).
6. Turn W/B Movie to "Off" (place 'cursor' on W/B Movie, left right).
7. Go back to the main menu. (menu, menu)
8. Turn off tv. (power)
9. Re-enter the service menu and check that the W/B Movie settings (the 4 values you changed) are correct (just to be sure).
Also you might want to check the "gamma" value in the "Options Table". This should be the same as below.
And you can check the White Balance menu for these settings when W/B Movie is set to Warm2 (or it will show the default Cool1).
Remember: Going to the service menu will cause all your user level settings to go back to defaults. Always note down anything you change in the Service Menu so you can go back.
