MT56-AP
chassis are designed for Asia & Pacific (AP) market Ready for Smart TV. It features
by its high integration, easy debugging (ADC adjustment free) as well as convenience
in terms of maintenance. Fast software upgrade through USB disk facilitates
both manufacture and after-sale service. Meantime, a variety of functions involved
in Factory Main Menu can not only bring benefits for production, but also satisfy
various demands of customers.
[Factory
Main Menu (FMM) is divided into Factory menu and Design menu. Factory Menu
covers all indispensable functions during manufacture such as White Balance Adjustment,
SHOP etc., while Design Menu includes Service Menu, Hotel Menu, Param Setting,
Other Setting etc. Some settings like Param Setting and Other Setting is
exclusively used by R&D engineer, anyone else shouldn’t change the settings
in the menu. When you wish to learn the product information like project ID,
project name, Hardware, software version, release date, you can access to
Service Menu. In addition, in Hotel Menu,
also provide a great deal of useful functions for specific applications
in hotel.]
The
software boot for U702 can be programmed by Flash Tool.exe.
Every set has its unique HDCP key which is purchased from suppliers or HDCP
certification authority. Please check HDCP function in the process of production.
Once in a while, the software of main board may be upgraded. Please pay attention to use the latest software before production.

Test
& Alignment
According to the requirement of order, we suggest take the below steps to finish the appropriate settings.
Note:
All tests and measurements mentioned hereafter have to be carried out at a normal mains voltage (100 ~ 240 VAC)
All voltages have to be measured with respect to ground, unless otherwise stated

Note:
All tests and measurements mentioned hereafter have to be carried out at a normal mains voltage (100 ~ 240 VAC)
All voltages have to be measured with respect to ground, unless otherwise stated
All
final tests have to be done on a complete set including LCD panel in a room
with temperature of 25+/-7°C.
The
Picture Performance assessment such as White Balance (luminance and colour
temperature) has to be performed into subdued lighted room after at least 60min
of warm-up in order to avoid any temperature drift influence (colorimetry vs
time).
Pre-Conditions and Power Supply Check
Before power-on, please check the board according to the relevant block diagram and circuit diagram, make sure that no serious issue or mistake can destroy the board. For example, the output of DC/DC and LDO should not be shorted to ground.
Supply a suited voltage and power-on, then check the voltage according to the relevant block diagram, circuit diagram and voltage spec, the error should be less than 5%, for example, the voltage for main chip (+3V3, +2.5V, VDDC1V15, 1V5_DDR, etc.), the voltage for TUNER (TU_3V3), the voltage for amplifier (AMP_VCC), etc.

Project ID Modification
There are different ID stored in the EMMC depending on different Panels settings and Model features, but there’s only one key branching Project ID able to ensure normal display. And when you power on the TV set, you should make sure the Project ID is accord with the BOM description. If not, you need to modify the ID. There are two methods to modify the ID:
Change Project ID in Design Menu
In case of “Design mode hotkey” is enabled, press “Back” button to enter Design Menu. To modify Project ID, you need to go through “Service menuàProject ID”, then press Left or Right key to select suitable ID (Project name is dynamically refreshed). Finally restart the TV set.
In case of “Design mode hotkey” is unabled, you can enter the Design Menu easily with reference to Design Menu.

DeviceID (DID) and UserID (UID)
Purpose is to allow Other Network Download (OND) and further specific services over dedicated portal based on AP. For such, specific DID (32 bytes) and UID (8 bytes) needs to be paired and overwritten into memory for internal client encryption,as below.

Those
DID/UID codes can only be set using UART commands following enclosed SIACP
requirements.
LAN Test
A rough LAN test can be done by connecting Ethernet to TV’s RJ45 and check that IP, subnet mask, DNS addresses, which are visible on HomeàSettingsàNetworkàEthernet settingsàIP settings” (ensure that “Internet Connection” is Enabled at first). More in-depth test can be performed faster using suitable UART/IR commands following SIACP requirements. SW will internally manage Network ID (NID) flag controlling all MAC/DID/UID integrity to facilitate PA screening further.

Shop init
At final process stage, it’s necessary to perform Shop init before any packing to leave Factory mode and restore User default presets according to the requirement of order.
This function is accessible by selecting “Factory MenuàShop”, then pressing RCU “Right ”or” Left” key.
Other faster methods are available on above enclosed SIACP requirements.

Warm-up Test
Following TCL standard and practices, it’s required minimum 15min of Warm-Up that can be considered as Burn-In. Additional aging for White Balance alignment is no more necessary due to consistent picture performance with cloning usage. This function is accessible by selecting “Factory menu àWarm up”, pressing RCU “Right” or ”Left” key to set it ON, and then it enter in Warm up mode. Press “Menu” key on keyboard to exit the burning mode. Other faster methods are available on above enclosed SIACP requirements.

Network Connection
You can set up your TV so that it can access the Internet through your local area network (LAN) using a wired or wireless connection.
Connect to a wired network
Attach the TV set to your LAN using cable in three ways:
Connecting the LAN port on the TV to an external modem using a Cat 5 cable.
Connecting the LAN port on the TV to an IP Sharer which is connected to an external modem. Use Cat 5 cable for the connection.
Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach the TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on your TV directly to a network wall outlet using a network cable. Note that the wall outlet is attached to a modem or router anywhere in your house. Select Home→ Settings→ Network → Ethernet Settings→IP Settings, then the TV will obtain IP address Automatic configuration. In addition, you can set the IP address and password manually.

White
balance adjustment takes the Normal color temperature of HDMI channel as the
reference.
Warm and Cold tone is relative to Normal mode. The adjustable gain range is 0~255.
The Normal color temperature of other channel is relative to the Normal mode of HDMI channel. The adjustable gain range is also 0~255.
The manual adjustment is according to the regulation above. Additionally, when manually adjust, it needs to do White Balance in it first.
Take signal generator 22293 as an example, the timing value and pattern value of each source.
