RGB Color

NOTE:

Displaying an anomaly in this diagnosis screen is not necessarily a failure.

This screen verifies that the display is receiving the video (R, G, B, and Composite sync) signals properly. The three primary colors should all appear without distortion. The combination of all three should produce a central white section.

The diagnostic screen is displayed in full screen mode when you press the NAV button. To return to the previous screen, press the NAV button again.

Touch Panel Check 1

The panel touch sensing system consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane covering the ODMD^(TM) display. The screen has to be physically touched to make it work. The display has the capability of 800 touch locations (left to right), and 480 touch locations (top to bottom). The upper left hand corner is position (0, 0) and the lower right hand corner is (800, 480) as displayed. Touching anywhere on the screen displays the coordinate of the location, and cause the place you touch to display a + icon. If any area of the screen either does not respond, or responds at some other location when touched, then replace the ODMD(TM) panel .

NOTE:

A box appears after you touch the screen.

Touch Calibration

The panel touch sensing system consists of a touch sensitive resistive membrane covering the ODMD^(TM) display. The screen has to be physically touched to make it work. The display screen uses a touch sensitive membrane. This means that every location of the entire surface of the display is touch sensitive. This diagnosis allows alignment of these touch locations with the location of the buttons images on the screen.

This should never need adjustment, and is used only by the factory to adjust the touch locations for parallax (the touch locations appear different when viewed at an angle). If you are directed to make an adjustment by the factory or other service information, follow this procedure:

The screen consists of the - icons. Select Start, and long press the center of the five - icons on order 1-5.
To store any changes you make, Select Set.
Select Return to exit the diagnosis.
