Unless otherwise noted, the following conditions must be
observed when aligning the ITC222 chassis:
Chassis must be operated from a 120VAC isolation
transformer, with line voltage set to 120VAC (±2.0V).
Picture controls (black level, contrast, etc.) must be set to
factory presets via the Picture Quality menu.
Procedures must be performed in the sequence given.
A 10X probe must be used for oscilloscope and frequency
measurements.
The audio output leads must not be shorted together or to
ground with the chassis on.
All video signals must have -40 IRE sync tips unless specified
otherwise.
Chassis AC power must be removed for 10 seconds before
disconnecting any cable.
A 3-minute warm-up is required for chassis or module related
alignments. A 15-minute warm-up is required for Kine or
Convergence related alignments.
Required Test Equipment
- Dual-Trace Oscilloscope
- Digital Voltmeter
- Frequency Counter
- Audio Signal Generator
- NTSC Signal Generator (B&K 1249, or equivalent)
- MTS Signal Generator (B&K 2009, or equivalent)
- Sweep/Marker Generator (or Standard Signal
Generator)
- YPrPb Signal Generator (DVD player w/YPrPb)
- DC Power Supply (5.0V/0.25A) for TAG001
- Chipper Check® software
- Chipper Check® interface box and computer
- Personal Computer (IBM Compatible w/ CD ROM and
Sound Card)
NOTE: For optimum performance it is critical that this in-
strument be properly aligned. For Auto Convergence
to work correctly it is HIGHLY RECOM-MENDED that the geometry alignments are first
verified
Small Signal Board (SSB) Replacement
All alignment data is stored in EEPROMs located on the
Small Signal Board (SSB). If the SSB needs to be replaced,
it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED the EEPROM data be
downloaded by using Chipper Check. Once the SSB has
been replaced, upload the alignment data back into the
instrument. Then verify that the instrument is properly
aligned.
1. Open Chipper Check. Select “Dead Set” “ITC222”.
Follow the On Screen Instructions to establish a connection. Fill in the Customer Information on the “CustomerInfo” tab and change to the EEPROM tab.
The following menu should appear.
2. Press the “Replace SSB Board” The following screen
appears
3. Chose “Replace SSB Board Procedure”. Follow the instructions on this screen to copy the alignment data from
the defective SSB to the new SSB.
NOTE: It may be necessary to perform the geometry align-
ment to get the auto convergence to work correctly.
Please refer to the section on Geometry Alignments
CRT Replacement (PTV Models)
If only 1 or 2 CRT’s are replaced use a convergence pattern
to align the new CRT. Align the new CRT to the pattern
generated by the existing CRT by adjusting the Yoke and
Centering Rings. Then run Auto Convergence. If all 3 CRT’s
are replaced, it will be necessary to first center the Green
CRT using a pattern with a center dot. Then align Red and
Blue following the Geometry Alignment procedures.

Yoke Centering Ring Adjustment
If Chipper Check is not available it is possible to replace a
single CRT and realign geometry by using the centering rings
on the CRT.
Using the convergence pattern available when in service
menu the pattern from the replacement CRT may be adjusted
to align with either of the two remaining CRT's using the centering rings shown in Figure 1.
First make certain the replacement CRT and yoke are assembled and placed back in the mounting as close as possible
to the original CRT and yoke. At this point having the convergence pattern on screen will assist in the mechanical mounting.
Using the centering rings and observing the convergence
pattern, rotate and move the pattern until the replacement color
overlays as close as possible to the two colors not replaced.
Moving the ring tabs together around the neck of the CRT
draws the raster in small circles. Spreading the tabs apart
moves the raster in more linear angles. The closer the tabs
are together, the less affect on the CRT beam they have.
When the raster is as close as possible fix the magnets with
paint or nail polish to prevent further movement.
After fixing the magnets, if gross geometry errors are apparent, geometry alignment is indicated. If the raster is close,
use the "Auto-convergence" feature provided in the consumer
menu to re-align convergence. This should correct most minor geometry problems. Follow auto-convergence with the
consumer red and blue centering adjustments, then evaluate
the raster again.
In most cases convergence will now be acceptable. If only
slight convergence errors are noted the technician should enter the manual digital convergence menu and begin "touchup" of the screen.
If gross geometry errors are still apparent re-evaluate
whether the errors are noticable on the replacement CRT or
whether they are global, affecting all three CRT's. If the errors affect all three CRT's a full geometry alignment is indicated. If the errors only affect one CRT, particulary the replacement, return to the mechanical placement and centering
ring adjustments and begin those procedures again.

for signs of CRT overdrive. Some compromise may
be required, but the higher IRE bars should be as
free from color tinting as possible.

from the run time counter. The time stamp will display the
last occurrence of a particular event. The time stamp is
displayed as “Run Hours”. An event counter counts how
many times that event has occurred. The counter will not
count beyond 255. The most recent event code is displayed
on top. To clear the event codes from memory, select the
Clear Event Codes box. A long press will clear all stored
codes.
Note:This alignment must be performed in each of the
following modes, Tuner, Comp 1H, Comp 2H, DVI
and AUX_RGB (if DVD option is installed).

Color Temperature (Overview)
Color Temperature for the ITC222 is similar to past chassis.
Some form of staircase pattern similar to the figure below is
required. Proper identification of the “0” (if available) and
“7.5” or “setup” bars on screen and the waveform produced
on the cathodes of the CRT will be needed. Consult the
specifications manual for the pattern generator used to
confirm the location of these bars.
The oscilloscope waveform shows the relationship between
the bars and the video signal at the cathodes of the CRT.
This waveform is present on all three cathodes. With the
oscilloscope adjusted to provide a full peak to peak readout
of the waveform at the horizontal rate, the 7.5 IRE setup
bar will the critical area. Be certain this bar can be identi
fied using the equipment available. If a 7.5 IRE bar is not
available, 10 IRE may be used.
It should be noted that bar patterns differ. Some vary from
10 to 100 IRE in various steps and in different directions,
but most should have an identifiable 7.5 to 10 IRE bar.
The purpose of the color temperature setup is to assure
uniform gray level from black to the brightest scenes. If a
uniform gray screen is displayed, no matter the brightness
level, no tinting in either red, green or blue direction should
be apparent. This is known as “color tracking”. Once the
proper color temperature is set, AKB will maintain the
cutoff of the CRT to assure proper low light performance.
Black Cutoff R/G, Whitepoint R/G/B Setup
(Recommended Method)
1.Apply a gray test pattern giving a 12 IRE flat
window. Connect Colorimeter near the center of
the screen.
2.Adjust Black Offset R and Black Offset G to
obtain the following color coordinates.
Direct View Projection TV

installed).
Black Cutoff R/G, Whitepoint R/G/B Setup
(Alternative Method)
1.Apply a vertical gray bar staircase pattern (at least
8 bars from “7.5” to “>75” IRE). Identify the 7.5
IRE bar location. It is the “black” or “cutoff” bar.
Peak White Alignment
1.Apply a white centered pattern of 100 IRE 2% of
the picture surface on a dark background.
2.Adjust for peak white at center of the screen.
3.Check Scaling Black Level, Whitepoint, Black
Offset and Peak White adjustments. It may be
necessary to adjust these alignments several times
for optimum performance.
Note:This alignment must be done in the following
modes, RF (NTSC), Comp 1H, Comp 2H, DVI and
AUX_RGB (If unit has DVD option installed).
