AV Calibration

Hi,

I have a Samsung UE40D5700 and I wanted to enable the PVR Functions. After Setting up the PVR with this (h*tp://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Activating_PVR_on_D5500) Manual I read a little bit around in the menus and at end i Powered off and again on the TV. After that my picture is really really dark... but only on TV, not on SmartHub, Startlogo ....

With Brightness/Contrast regulation i can make it better, but its not ok any more.. I also did a reset on the service menu, but it stays dark...

Any Idea what i can do? Dont know what I changed, but dont think I changes anything but the PVR feature.

Please help :-(

EDIT: Ok, now I remember what I did before... I was on ADC/WB -> ADC -> AV-Calibration ... because I missed the back key I was running this.... now I was going back and see there: Failure.

But this was before I switches the PVR Function ON. First i was on this calibration: and I could not cancel this... so I was waiting and after it the TV switched off.. so I switched him on again, but the picture was ok after it.. So i started with the PVR Setting.

ok, got it running again with informations from http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=777497 .

I used the following picture to calibrate the av again.

http://www.imagebanana.com/view/t3qfwz4 ... rboard.jpg

Loaded on USB Stick to a Iomega Screenplay TV Link (others AV-Devices like, DVD Player, XBox, PC with Composite ... are also usable) and loaded the picture on the screen.

After press calibrate again, the pink square start on a black square, jump to the next right square (white), jump to the next square down (black) and end jumping to the next square left (white again).

After it the message success comes back. I was trying it many time... at the beginning it didnt jump to the 3. square ... dont know what was the final solution, possible that is was the key pressing from the remote....

Now I can sleep well :P

If you register on our wiki, you could add your pictures and calibration HowTo there. Agree?

ok, that is it: http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Calibration

when I charged my Photo-Camera I can also add pictures to the Wiki.

Please link it up somewhere (because it is for sure not only D series)

and: every time when I wanna post a link on forum I get: "Your post looks too spamy for a new user, please remove off-site URLs. " - thats boring :roll:
