I install TV's and satellites for work.
Me and my co worker went and installed some Philips plasma's (Hotel TV's) at a resort up here. These ones doesn't come with any remote or manuals and they were set to Hotel Mode already. We need to feed DVD via Composite video but by default TV were set to use Component part of that one and only usable input.
I called the dealer and they told how I get a Philips remote, do the code to enter service menu and disable hotel mode etc etc..
Anyways, we got a Philips TV with remote back at office so When I got into office I enter the "Service Menu" SAM mode on our showroom LCD projection TV "55PL9873" Just to get familiar with the menu, didn't have any intentions to change anything. As I was going thought menus I got into Alignment area of the menu system look like this.
*Adjustments---*MSB*---Show Test Patterns (On|*Off}--- Align ADC Set Factory
As I was going thought the menus I accidently pressed Align ADC and screen went purple and colors go all screwed up.
I told it to set Factory and it didn't fix it, Now colors are really really screwed up. It seem to reflect on what on the screen to get it adjusted thought, I'm thinking it need some kind of test pattern to readjust it right again.
Depending on what showing on TV and press the Adjust ADC option it will flicker and give me different colors according to colors on the screen. If there is too much white on show it will give me purple. Too much green then It will raise the blue. I played with it for an hour with different shows from DVD and HD sources.
If I do adjustment during dark scenes it will turn bluish or reddish. If I do the adjustment on scene with is good amount of light out door a lots of green trees and blue sky with white clouds and some water, it seem to bring the picture back almost perfect, but whites are washed out from back lighting. Didn't adjust another setting on this set but accidently press the arrow on that option. :(
Anybody know how to fix that?
