Service Mode
Most of the alignments for this chassis are software-driven.
Adjustments are made by modifying parameter values using
Chipper Check and the service menu. When parameter values are modified, the corresponding T-chip registers, tuner
registers and EEPROM locations are updated. A list of the
software alignment parameters accessible using the front panel
is shown in Table 1. All other alignments require Chipper
Check®

b. Press and release the VOL+ button.
Release the MENU button.
The following Service Mode Screen will be displayed.
Service Mode Screen
The Parameter (P) number is on the left side of the display
and represents the function that will be performed. The Value
(V) is on the right side of the display and represents the decimal value stored for the function selected. Once the Service
Mode Security Code has been entered the CH /\ and CH \/
buttons on the front panel (or the remote transmitter) are used
to change the parameter (P) number. The VOL + and VOL buttons are used to change the decimal value (V) of the function.
NOTE: When the service mode is accessed, the parameter
will be “0”. Parameter “0” is used to input the security
code. The security code is necessary to protect the factory alignments from inadvertent modification. Attempting to change the parameter (P) using CH /\ or CH \/
before the proper security code has been entered will
cause the instrument to exit the service mode. A valid
security code is entered (using VOL + or VOL -)
Security Codes
When the Service Mode is first entered, the parameter (P)
will come up set at “0”, which corresponds to the security
code function. With the parameter (P) set to “0” adjust the
value (V) (using VOL + or VOL -) to 76 for access to the
Front Panel Service Mode. Set the value (V) to 200 for Chipper Check® operation.

Error Codes
If certain failures occur in the chassis, error codes will be
stored in the chassis EEPROM. These error codes are displayed in parameters “1”, “2” and “3”. Parameter “1” stores
the error code for the first failure experienced by the instrument. Similarly, parameter “2” stores the error code for the
second failure. Parameter “3” is automatically updated to
display the error code for the most recent failure experienced
by the instrument. Error codes are summarized in Table 2.
no failures have occurred since the last time the error code
parameters were reset.
NOTE: The error codes should be reset to “0” after servicing using the VOL + and VOL - buttons.
Because a failure of a bus IC is a possible reason for needing
service, normal acknowledgment checking is disabled in the
service mode. If an IIC device has failed, its address will be
stored in the error code area.

you exit.
X-Ray Shutdown Check
The following procedure should be performed prior to, and
upon completion of service:
1. Momentarily apply a short between the shutdown test
point (BL901- located at back edge of chassis near main
tuner) and chassis ground (main tuner shield). The instrument must shutdown immediately, then turn back on
after ~ 2 seconds.
2. Apply and maintain a short between the shutdown test
point and chassis ground (tuner shield). The instrument
must shutdown immediately and remain shutdown (the
instrument will attempt to restart several times, then remain off).
3. Remove the short from BL901.
4. Enter the Service Mode and reset the error code
parameter(s) to “0”.
CHASSIS ALIGNMENT
The ATC113 chassis requires the use of ChipperCheck®, a
TV/PC interface box, and a suitable computer for the majority of the alignments. A 486DX/33MHz PC with 8Meg of
memory is recommended. Basic geometry and color temperature adjustments are the only alignments accessible
through the front panel. These adjustments are included in
this service manual as front panel procedures but can also be
performed using ChipperCheck®.
ChipperCheck® software and the TV/PC interface box are
available from Sencore Electronics @:
http://www.sencore.com/
or
Tel. 1-800-SENCORE
(1-800-736-2673)
Instructions for the operation of ChipperCheck® software and
connection of the TV/PC interface are included as contextsensitive help files in the ChipperCheck® software.

3. Put the instrument into Service Mode.
4. Using the low light part of the image and the first test
probe, adjust Red cutoff (service parameter 06),
Green cutoff (service parameter 07) and Blue cutoff (service parameter 08) level for:
x = 285 ± 7 (for RF/AV input)
x = 285 ± 10 (for Component input)
y = 294 ± 7 (for RF/AV input)
y = 294 ± 10 (for Component input)
NOTE: Some generators produce a gray scale stairstep by
using the color bars signal with the color burst turned
off. This produces 8 bars that step from Black (7.5IRE)
to White (77IRE).
2. Access the customer control Main Menu. Select item #2
“Picture Quality”. Select item#2 “Picture Presets” and
then select item#2 “Normal Lighting”. This resets the
customer controls.
3. If not previously adjusted perform the Screen Adjustment procedure.
4. Put the instrument into Service Mode.
5. Adjust RG Drive Gain (parameter#09 ) to 42 and adjust
Blue Drive Gain (parameter#10 ) to 42.
6. Adjust Red cutoff (parameter#06) value to 10.
7. Adjust Green cutoff (parameter#07) and Blue cutoff
(parameter#08) to produce the best gray tones in the first
few steps of the gray scale. The Red cutoff (parameter#06) value may be adjusted to produce the best picture quality.
8. Adjust Green Gain (parameter#09) and Blue Gain (parameter#10) for best white level on the last steps of the
gray scale.
9. The biases and drives are interactive; you must check
the low light to high light gray scale tracking (black and
white picture). Should any color other than gray or white
be dominant in low light to high light areas the color

temperature settings have not been properly set. Repeat
steps 7 and 8 until no adjustments are necessary.
NOTE: Color cutoff adjustments affect the low light (dark)
areas while color drive adjustments affect the high light
(white) areas.
10. Adjusting biases and drives may effect the overall brightness. And, adjusting the screen control may effect the
color temperature. If the screen control is adjusted after
the color temperature alignment is complete; the color
temperature should be checked again to insure that adjusting the screen control has not effected it.
11. Tune the instrument to a live RF channel and adjust
brightness for best looking picture in normal room lighting.
