Samsung CKG7507 Alignment and Adjustments

6-1-1 Before Making Adjustments

6-1-1 (a) ORIENTATION

When servicing, always face the monitor to the
east.

6-1-1 (b) MAGNETIC FIELDS

Whenever possible, use magnetic field isolation
equipment such as a Helmholtz field to surround
the monitor. If a Helmholtz field is not available,
frequently degauss the unit under test.

Caution: Other electrical equipment may cause

external magnetic fields which may
interfere with monitor performance.

Use an external degaussing coil to limit magnetic
build up on the monitor. If an external degaussing
coil is not available, use the internal degaussing
circuit. However, do not use the internal
degaussing circuit more than once per 30 minutes.

6-1-1 (c) 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.

6-1-1 (d) SIGNAL

Analog, 0.714 Vp-p positive at 75 ohm, internal
termination
Sync: Separate/Composite
(TTL level negative/positive)

Sync-on-Green:
Composite sync 0.286 Vp-p negative
(Video 0.714 Vp-p positive)

6-1-1 (e) SCANNING FREQUENCY

Horizontal: 30 kHz to 70 kHz (Automatic)
Vertical: 50 Hz to 160 Hz (Automatic)

Unless otherwise specified, adjust at the
1024 x 768 mode (H: 60 kHz, V: 75 Hz) signals.

Refer to Table 2-1 on page 3-3.

6-1-1 (f) HIGH VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

Signal: No signal
Display image: Self raster
Contrast: Maximum
Brightness: Maximum
Limit: 26 kV ± 0.5 kV

Measure the hight voltage level at the anode cap.
High voltage should be within the limit as above.
If the high voltage needs adjustment use the
following procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. Turn the power off and disconnect the AC line
cord from the power source.

2. Unsolder and remove VR501 on the Main
PCB.

3. Replace VR501 and adjust the high voltage to
the specification.

4. Using a soldering iron, melt the adjustment
cap on VR501 to prevent any movement.

6-1-1 (g) G2 (SCREEN) VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

Signal: No signal
Display image: Self raster
Contrast: Maximum
Brightness: Maximum

Adjust the Screen VR of the FBT so that the G2
(Screen) Voltage for SDD CRT is 430 V ± 10 V.

6-1-1 (h) HORIZONTAL FREE-RUN FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT

Signal: 60 kHz/75 Hz
Contrast: Maximum
Brightness: Maximum

Connect the Frequency counter probe to the H-DY
(Red wire). Conncet pin 26 of IC401 to the
Ground. Adjust VR 402 to 58.7 kHz ± 10 Hz.

6-1-1 (I) CENTER RASTER

Adjust SW401 so that the back raster comes to the
center when you apply a signal of 60 kHz/75 Hz.

6 Alignment and Adjustments

This section of the service manual explains how to make permanent adjustments to the monitor. Directions
are given for adjustments using the monitor Interface Board Ver. 2.0 and software (SoftJig).

6-1 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.

6-1-1 (J) BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST

Unless otherwise specified, adjust external VRs:
Brightness: Maximum (turn knob fully clockwise)

Contrast: Maximum (turn knob fully clockwise)

6-1-2 Required Equipment

The following equipment may be necessary for
adjustment procedures:

6-1-2 (a) DISPLAY CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

1. Non-metallic (–) screwdriver: 1.5 mm
Non-metallic (–) screwdriver: 3 mm

2. Philips (+) screwdriver: 1.5 mm

3. Non-metallic hexkey: 2.5 mm

4. Digital Multimeter (DMM), or
Digital Voltmeter (DVM)

5. Signal generator, or
Computer with a video board that uses the
ET-4000 chipset (strongly recommended if
using Samsung DM 200 software) and that
displays: 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz, or 800 x 600
@ 75 Hz (minimum).

6. Personal computer

7. Required software: Softjig.exe from Samsung
which includes the cg17e.c data file
Samsung DM200, or DisplayMate for
Windows from Sonera Technologies

8. Interface Board Ver. 2.0 Code No.
BH81-90001K

9. Parallel communications cable (25-pin to
25-pin); Code No. BH81-90001H

10. Signal cable (15-pin to 15-pin cable with
additional 3-pin connector); Code No.
BH81-90001J

11. 5 V DC adapter, not supplied

Note: SoftJig Ass’y (includes items 8, 9 and 10)

Code No. BH81-90001L

6-1-2 (b) COLOR ADJUSTMENTS

1. All equipment listed in 6-1-2 (a), above

2. Color analyzer, or any luminance
measurement equipment

6-1-3 Connecting the SoftJig

Connect the monitor to the signal generator and/
or PC as illustrated in Figures 6-1 and 6-2.

Refer to Softjig Manual.

Note: The signal cable connector which includes

the 3-wire cable must connect to the
monitor. If you use Setup 2 (PC only, no
signal generator) you can only make
adjustments to the signal timing available
on that computer system. To make
corrections to all factory timings requires
the use of an additional signal generator.

6-1-4 After Making Adjustments

After finishing all adjustments, test the monitor in
all directions. If, for example, the monitor does not
meet adjustment specifications when facing north,
reposition the monitor to face east and readjust.
This time, try for an adjustment closer to the ideal
setting within the tolerance range. Test the unit
again in all directions. If the monitor again fails to
meet specifications in every direction, contact
your Regional After Service Center for possible
CRT replacement.

6-3-1 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: 306 mm (H) x 230 mm (V).

Adjust the horizontal position and vertical
position to ≤ 4.0 mm of the center point of the
screen.

|A-B| ≤ 4.0 mm.
|C-D| ≤ 4.0 mm.

Figure 6-3. Centering

6-3-1 (a) HORIZONTAL SIZE ADJUSTMENT
CONDITIONS

Display image: Crosshatch pattern
Brightness: Maximum
Contrast: Maximum

Click on the << or >> box next to H_SIZE to
adjust the horizontal size of the display pattern
to 306 mm. (Tolerance: ± 3 mm.)

Caution: Must be adjusted first of all the

H_SIZE to 306 mm ± at VGA2
(31 kHz/70 Hz). Because all mode
variable H_SIZE range is based on
the adjusted factory data of VGA2.

6-3-1 (b) VERTICAL SIZE ADJUSTMENT
CONDITIONS

Scanning frequency: 60 kHz/75 Hz
Display image: Crosshatch pattern
Brightness: Maximum
Contrast: Maximum

Click on the << or >> box next to V_SIZE to
adjust the vertical size of the display pattern to
230 mm. (Tolerance: ± 3 mm.)

6-3-1 (c) HORIZONTAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
CONDITIONS

Scanning frequency: 60 kHz/75 Hz
Display image: Crosshatch pattern

Click on the << or >> box next to H_POSI to
center the horizontal image on the raster.

6-3-1 (d) VERTICAL POSITION ADJUSTMENT
CONDITIONS

Scanning frequency: 60 kHz/75 Hz
Display image: Crosshatch pattern

Click on the << or >> box next to V_POSI to
center the vertical image on the raster.

6-3-2 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 Tables 6-2 and
6-3, an image appears distorted, elongated or
squashed.

Table 6-1. Standard Modes Linearity: 640x480/75Hz,

800x600/85Hz and 1024x768/85Hz

Table 6-2. Other Modes Linearity: VGA, SVGA, XGA,

MAC, etc.

6-3-2 (a) HORIZONTAL LINEARITY ADJUSTMENT

The CKG7507L/LM monitors offer only Vertical
Linearity adjustments. Horizontal Linearity is
fixed on the Chassis and is not adjustable.
