ADJUSTING THE CONVERGI:-NCE

Your MITSUBISHI Projection Television has three picture tubes and large diameter lenses which are
arranged in-line to project the light beams. Each picture tube projects only one color: red, green or
blue. For the best color picture, the three colors should be converged at the center of the screen.

Here's the procedure for converging the three color beams:

.

Turn the Projection Television "ON".

Turn your Projection Television "ON" by pushing the MAIN Power Switch located on the
control panel to "ON".

Next, push the Power on/off switch on the control panel.

Select a strong station with the channel selector keys.

,

Push the TEST switch in the control panel to "ON".

A cross-bar test paEern will appear on the screen.. The set is properly adjusted when the lines of
the test pattern at the center of tile screen are white. If red, green or blue lines are visible, the
color light beam convergence should be adjusted.

NOTE: The cross-bar pattern is intended for use ONLY as a convergence aid. It should not bE;

left on for long period of time, as damage to the picture tubes could occur.

Convergence Adjustment

There are four convergence adjustment controls (vertical anc horizontal posidon adjustment
for red and for blue) located on the control panel. While operating the convergence adjustment

controls, observe the center area of the screen (where the horizontal and vertical lines of the
test pattern cross) from a position directly in front of the screen. The convergence controls are

adjusted as shown in the illustrated sequence [] through [!_ below until the following
conditions are observed:

1. The amount of red or blue color above or below the t'orizontal test pattern line is
minimized using steps [] and [].

2. The amount of red or blue color to the right or left of the vertical test pattern line is
minimized using steps [] and [@.

3. The vertical and horizontal test pattern lines at the center of the screen are white.

NOTE:

19

[] Moves the horizontal red line up or down. _] Moves the vertical red line left or right.

The vertical and
horizontal green

line is not adjust-
able.
