AIWA TV-AR295 Service mode
How to entering the FACTORY MODE
a) Press the key SW702 on the MAIN PCB or use a remote control with protocol RC5 and system 7.
a1)Remote control reconstruction method.
b) Select the adjustment options pressing the key CH or CH of the remote control or of the television front panel.
c) Adjust the selected option pressing the key VOL or VOL of the remote control or of the television front panel.
c1) VOL - increases registers (MAX.).
c2) VOL - decreases registers (MIN.).
d) To exit the FACTORY MODE, use the key OSD/OUT of the remote control.

Note: All the adjustment options can be selected directly by the remote control
numeric keys.

1. Important recommendations
1.1 Before beginning the adjustments, the TV set should be a pre-heated during at least 15
minutes.
1.2 The positioning of the TV set should obey the magnetic parameters of South America that it
is -120 vertical mG. In the practice, this is gotten with a relative precision, positioning the TV set with the face (screen) of the CRT pointing to the geographical East.

3. Geometry of the Image
a) Using the PM - 5515 generator, apply the crosshatch pattern with circle.
b) Adjust the following items:
Vertical slope (VSL);
Height (VAM);
Vertical position (VSH);
Center Linearity (SC);
Horizontal position (HSH)
Adjust the above items, until obtaining the best circle symmetry and positioning, as well as the minor
image geometric distortion.
4. White balance AIWA TV-AR295 Service mode
Note: The cut point doesn’t need adjustment, because it’s automatically made by the IC101.
The white adjustment is already pre-adjusted and incised in the IC101 and, thus, its adjustment is not necessary. Otherwise, if it is necessary to change the temperature of the white pattern, proceed in the following way:
a) Enter into AIWA TV-AR295 Service mode.
b) Select via CH or CH the WPR (12), WPG (13) and WPB (14) functions.
c) Increase or decrease the function via VOL or via VOL respectively.
5. Screen adjustment
a) Select the register 99 (VSD).
b) Press VOL or VOL to access and adjust the screen control localized on the FBT, until the
horizontal line be slightly visible on the screen center.
c) Press CH up or CH down .
6. AGC adjustment
a) Select the register 02 (AGC)
Apply a PHILIPS pattern with 60dBμV of intensity and adjust so that TP AGC or C103 (+)
terminal become 4V.
