SET-UP ADJUSTMENTS

3-1. SCREEN VOL T A GE ADJUSTMENT
(ROUGH ALIGNMENT)
1. Receive the Monoscope signal.
2. Set 50% BRIGHTNESS and minimum PICTURE.
3. Turn the red VR on the FOCUS Pack all the way to the left and then gradually turn it to the right until the point where you can see the retrace line.
4. Next gradually turn it to the left to the position where the retrace line disappears.

3-2. FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

1. Loose the lens screw.
2. Set in service mode.
3. Place the caps on the red and blue lens so that only the green color is shown.
4. Press the Commander button and select OSD (CHSW) to display the test signal (crosshatch) on the screen.
5. Rotate the green lens and align with the optimal focus point from the test signal.
6. Rotate the green VR on the FOCUS Pack and align to obtain the optimal focus point.
7. Perform the same alignment for red and blue lenses and elec­tric focus.
8. Fix lens screw.

1. Set to receive the Monoscope signal.
2. Set in service mode.
3. Place the caps on the red and blue lens so that only the green color.
4. Loosen the deflection yoke setscrew and align the tilt of the Deflection Yoke so that the bars at the center of the monoscope pattern are horizontal.
5. After aligning the deflection yoke, fasten it securely to the funnel-shaped portion (neck) of the CRT.
6. The tilt of the deflection yoke for red and Blue is aligned the same as was done for green.

3-3. SCREEN (G2) ADJUSTMENT

1. Connect JIG (A) to 200 V and GND.
2. Select VIDEO mode without signals.
3. Connect JIG to the TP701(KR), TP731(KG) or TP761(KB) of CR board, CG board and CB board.
4. Adjust R, G and B screen voltage to until retrace line disap­pears with screen VR on the focusblock.
