4 Alignment and Adjustments
This section of the service manual explains how to make permanet adjustments to the monitor.
Use the MTI-2031 jig and soft jig when adjust this part.
4-1 Adjustment Conditions
Caution: Changes made without the Softjig are saved only to the user mode settings. As such, the
settings are not permanently stored and may be inadvertently deleted by the user.

4-1-1 Before Making Adjustments
4-1-1 (a) ORIENTATION
When servicing, always face the monitor to the
east.
4-1-1 (b) WARM-UP TIME
The monitor must be on for 30 minutes before
starting alignment. Warm-up time is especially
critical in color temperature and white balance
adjustments.

4-2-1(a) HOW TO ADJUST THE SCREEN
Refer to the contents from 4-2-1 to 4-2-9.
1. Choose the MDL file of the relevant model on
MDL file.
2. Delete the user.
3. Dump the stand mode from the soft jig
geometry mode.
4. Save the all mode after adjusting the screen in
the standard mode (68 kHz / 85 Hz).
5. Savethe mode after adjusting the screen in the
other modes.
Notice : Don't save the all mode after adjusting the
other mode.

4-2-2 Centering
Centering means to position the center point of
the display in the middle of the display area.
Horizontal size and position and vertical size and
position control the centering of the display.
Adjust the horizontal size and vertical size to their
optimal settings: see table 4-3.

4-2-2 (b) VERTICAL SIZE ADJUSTMENT
Click on the << or >> box next to V_SIZE to
adjust the vertical size of the display pattern to
234 mm / 264 mm. (Tolerance : ± 3 mm)
4-2-2 (c) HORIZONTAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Click on the << or >> box next to H_POSI to
center the horizontal image on the raster.
4-2-2 (d) VERTICAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Click on the << or >> box next to V_POSI to
center the vertical image on the raster.
4-2-3 Linearity
Linearity affects the symmetry of images as they
appear on the screen. Unless each row or column
of blocks in a crosshatch pattern is of equal size,
or within the tolerances shown in Table 4-1, an
image will appear distorted, elongated or
squashed.
Horizontal Linearity = 2x x100
Vertical Linearity = 2x x100
