SECTION 6 ADJUSTMENTS
Before starting adjustments Precaution on Replacing the SY-176 Board
· The Repair Board has already been adjusted. Re-initialization or EVR data copy from the set before repair is not required. · Perform "VIDEO OUT Default Data Check" and "Initial Language Data Check" mentioned below, and also the adjustment items necessary after SY Board replacement.

VIDEO OUT Default Data Check
When you replace to the repairing board, the written data of repairing board also might be changed to original setteing because of broadcast system (NTSC/PAL). When the data has changed because of board replaceing etc., check the default data of VIDEO OUT if destination code is right. If not, rewrite to the right value. VIDEO OUT Default Data Page 4F Address 8D Data NTSC 00 PAL 01

Writing Method: 1) Select page: 00, address: 01, and set data: 01. 2) Select page: 4F, address: 8D, and set data: 00 (NTSC) or data: 01 (PAL). 3) Select page: 40, address: 38, and set data: 00. 4) Click [Save] on the SEUS screen. 5) Select page: 80, address: 34, and check that the data is "00". 6) Select page: 80, address: 30, and check that the data is "00". 7) Select page: 00, address: 01, and set data: 00.

Method for Copying or Erasing the Data in Internal Memory
The data can be copied/erased by the operations on the Setup screen. (When erasing the data, execute formatting the internal memory.) Note 1: When replacing the SY-176 board, erase the data in internal memory of the board before replacement. Note 2: When replacing the SY-176 board, execute formatting and initialize the internal memory after replacement.

Method for copying the data in internal memory
Copy
Copies all images in the internal memory to a "Memory Stick Duo".
1 Insert a "Memory Stick Duo" having 64 MB or larger capacity. 2 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z. The message "All data in internal memory will be copied Ready?" appears. 3 Select [OK] with v, then press z. Copying starts.

To cancel the copying
Select [Cancel] in step 2 or 3, then press z.
· Use a fully charged battery pack. If you attempt to copy image files using a battery pack with little remaining charge, the battery pack may run out, causing copying to fail or possibly corrupting the data. · You cannot copy individual images. · The original images in the internal memory are retained even after copying. To delete the contents of the internal memory, remove the "Memory Stick Duo" after copying, then execute the [Format] command in (Internal Memory Tool). · When you copy the data in the internal Memory to the "Memory Stick Duo", all the data will be copied. You cannot choose a specific folder on the "Memory Stick Duo" as the destination for the data to be copied. · Even if you copy data, a (Print order) mark is not copied.

Method for formatting the internal memory
This item does not appear when a "Memory Stick Duo" is inserted in the camera.

Format
Formats the internal memory.
· Note that formatting irrevocably erases all data in the internal memory, including even protected images.

1 Select [OK] with v on the control button, then press z. The message "All data in internal memory will be erased Ready?" appears. 2 Select [OK] with v, then press z. The format is complete.

To cancel the formatting
Select [Cancel] in step 1 or 2, then press z.

Using Method of SEUS

The application for adjustment (SEUS) is used to change the coefficient for calculating the signal processing or EVR data. The SEUS performs two-way communication between PC and set through the USB terminal. The two-way communication result data can be written to the nonvolatile memory. 1. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Connection Connect the HASP key to the USB terminal of the PC. Connect the PC and set with the USB cable. Confirm that the set starts in the USB mode. Start the SEUS on the PC. Click [Connect] on the SEUS screen. If the connection is normal, the SEUS screen will be as shown in Fig. 6-1-9, indicating the "connected" state. Note: The SEUS will go in "disconnect" state, if the set is turned off (for instance, by resetting the set). In such a case, click [Connect] on the SEUS screen to restore the "connected" state.

2. Operation · Page change To change the page, click [Page] on the SEUS screen and enter the page to be changed. The page is displayed in hexadecimal notation. · Address change To change the address, click [Address] on the SEUS screen and enter the address to be changed. The address is displayed in hexadecimal notation. · Data change To change the data, click [Set] on the SEUS screen and enter the data. The data is displayed in hexadecimal notation. This operation does not write the data to the nonvolatile memory. · Data saving To write the all changed data to the nonvolatile memory, click [Save] on the SEUS screen and wait for more than 3 sec. · Data reading The data displayed on the SEUS screen are the data values at the time when the pages and addresses were set, and they are not updated automatically. To check the data change, click [Read] on the SEUS screen and update the displayed data. 1-1-4. Precaution on Use of SEUS Wrong SEUS operation could clear correct adjustment data. To prevent the data clear by mistake, it is recommended to save all adjustment data by clicking [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen before starting the adjustment. Saving Method: 1) Click [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen to display the SEUS PAGE EDIT screen. 2) Click [Page], and enter the page number to be saved. 3) Click [Read] to read the data to be saved from the camera. 4) Click [File] and save the data to PC. Loading Method: 1) Select page: 00, address: 01 and set data: 01. 2) Click [Page Edit] on the SEUS screen to display the SEUS PAGE EDIT screen. 3) Click [File] and load the data from PC. 4) Click [Write] on the SEUS PAGE EDIT screen. 5) Click [Close] to close the SEUS PAGE EDIT screen. 6) Select page: 40, address: 38 and set data: 00. 7) Click [Save] on the SEUS screen. 8) Select page: 80, address: 34, and check that the data is "00". 9) Select page: 80, address: 30, and check that the data is "00". 10) Select page: 00, address: 01 and set data: 00.

ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS

The DSC-W55 is adjusted with the Automatic Adjustment Program and the AWB Adjustment Program. The Automatic Adjustment Program automatically controls the adjustment operations that were formerly entered manually on the operation screen of the SEUS (some adjustments may be manually operated on the SEUS operation screen). The AWB Adjustment Program automatically performs "AWB 3200K-5800K Standard Data Input" of Camera System Adjustment. 1-2-1. Automatic Adjustment Program 1. Precautions When Using Automatic Adjustment Program 1) The Automatic Adjustment Program writes the adjustment results such as EVR data to the set through two-way communication with the camera via the SEUS. Accordingly, the Automatic Adjustment Program must be used in the environment where the SEUS operates. 2) The program run time may vary depending on the environment of the personal computer used. 3) The SEUS must be already started on the PC when using the Automatic Adjustment Program. With the SEUS not started, some adjustment items will take time in adjustment. 2. Start of Automatic Adjustment Program Double-click the application file (DSC-W55 Auto-Adj Ver_1.0r01.exe), and the Automatic Adjustment Program will start.

3. Function of Each Button on Main Menu Screen When the Automatic Adjustment Program started, the Main Menu screen in Fig. 6-1-10 will appear. On this screen, select each adjustment section.
