If anyone could offer me some assistance, I could really use some help doing some subtle picture calibration on my new, JVC AV27S33 television, which has a distinct "bias" toward a greenish tint. [It's clear the set isn't "defective," just in need of a fine tuning]
I know how to enter service mode, but I'd like some general suggestions regarding which particular values would likely address my set's overall tint and grey scale balance (seems that many values which should be grey, black, blue and off-white are all rendered varying hues of green). Hopefully, many of the existing, factory settings will be to my satisfaction; I mainly want to try "extracting" a significant percentage of green from the tint balance.
Also:
Which "video status" mode should I enter service mode in, "standard"?
Should my color settings be "dead center" at the time of calibration?
Would any changes need to be reflected in each video status mode: standard, dynamic, sports, etc.?
How would I go about saving any changes made in service mode, if that's not self-explanatory in the menu system.
And, again--since all the values in the JVC service mode are cryptically named/coded--what are the names/locations of some of the most relevant settings that pertain to this problem in the service mode?
Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated! I have one final inquiry: Are JVC sets in this family--direct-view, 27 inch--capable of logging changes in the service mode which might later be used as grounds to deny me service under my warranty period?
Mostly, I've considered doing this calibration process myself because all the regional, authorized JVC service providers have refused to do in-home work for me (despite the warranty's suggesting that sets over 25 inches "may" be covered for in-home work)...and I'd rather not entrust my brand, spanking new machine to some potentially rough handling at the hands of a service tech.
Once again, I would really appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,
Jack
