Resetting the set to the factory shipping condition:  Press 8. 
“RESET” appears in green letters on the screen.  Then press ENTER.  
This resets all customer adjustments, channel memories, and channel 
labels to the factory shipping settings. 

Note: Internal patterns are used for geometry and convergence 
adjustments.  However, sizing and centering must be done with the 
use of an external generator.  The recommended pattern would be a 
monoscope, or equivalent pattern, which would provide the means to 
adjust both the linearity and the sizing of the picture.  A cross-hatch 
pattern with sizing markers can be used in place of a monoscope.

•  Current fl ow in circuit should be stable before attempting adjustment. 

Wait 5 minutes after turning on power to the set.

•  At the 4 sides of the screen, locate the middle. Use a tape measure 

to identify the middle.

 

    

 

: middle

NOTE: The following steps # 1 through 8 are “main” defl ection 
adjustments for sizing and centering.  “Main” defl ection adjustments 
affect all three CRTs at the same time.   The “sub”-defl ection adjustments 
that follow are made for each CRT individually.  If the centering and 
sizing is performed correctly in “main” defl ection adjustments, only minor 
touchups may required for the green CRT in “sub”-defl ection adjustment 
mode.

A pattern from an external pattern generator must be used for the main 
defl ection adjustments.

1. Enter the service mode by quickly pressing the keys on the remote 

commander in the standby mode in the following order:

  Press “DISPLAY,”  5, Volume +, and then “TV POWER”

2. Change from TV mode to video input mode.

3. Input a cross-hatch pattern from an external generator that allows you 

to properly center and size (over-scan) the pattern.  

4. Select adjustment category “VPNT”, adjustment item 0 “VPOS”.  

Adjust the data so that the external pattern is centered vertically.

5. Select adjustment category “VPNT”, adjustment item 1 “VSIZ”.  Adjust 

the data so that the external pattern is correctly sized vertically.  
“Correctly  sized” means that the picture is overscanned by 7.5%, 
i.e. only 92.5% of the picture is on the viewable area of the screen.  
Confi rm that the pattern is still correctly centered vertically.

6. Select adjustment category “VPNT”, adjustment item 5 “HPOS”.  

Adjust the data so that the external pattern is centered horizontally.

7. Select adjustment category “VPNT”, adjustment item 6 “VSIZ”.  Adjust 

the data so that the external pattern is correctly sized horizontally.  
“Correctly  sized” means that the picture is overscanned by 7.5%, 
i.e. only 92.5% of the picture is on the viewable area of the screen.  
Confi rm that the pattern is still correctly centered horizontally.

8. Write the new sizing and centering data to memory by pressing 

“MUTING” and then “ENTER”.

9. Change the VPNT mode to  “PJE 00 FDIS” (press “2” on the remote 

until “PJE” appears on the top left corner of the screen).  If “FDIS” is 
not displayed below “PJE”, press “4” until it does appear.

item 30 BON (blue).

GREEN CENTER, GREEN SIZE
The sizing and centering that was performed in the previous section 
(section 2-10) should have correctly sized and centered the green CRT.   
The sizing and centering (coarse adjustment mode) of the red and blue 
CRTs in following sections are performed so that the red and blue 
patterns overlay the green pattern as close as possible prior to the fi ne 
mode adjustments.  The fi ne-mode adjustments are made for all 3 colors 
so that the cross-hatch lines are straight vertically and horizontally, and 
the linearity and convergence is correct.  

1. Display a cross-hatch pattern from an external generator.

2. Confi rm that category “PJE” is selected (refer to step 9 in the previous 

section, section 2-10).

3. Make sure that only the external pattern is displayed.  If the internal 

cross-hatch is displayed, press the 6 button on the remote until only 
the external pattern is displayed. 

4. Select GRN SKEW with the 1 and 4 buttons on the remote 

commander.

5. Using the joystick buttons on the remoter commander, adjust the 

crosshatch lines so that they go straight vertically and horizontally, 
not slanting.

ENTER.

2. Press the FLASH FOCUS button on the front panel.

3. If an error message appears, refer to the following.

If an error code is displayed after the set has been correctly adjusted, 
check the following items: position, tilt and sizing.  If any of these 
adjustments are off, even slightly, the auto-registration pattern will not 
hit the four sensors properly. This occurs when the internal generator 
patterns are being fl ashed on the screen for the sensors to read.  
Therefore, auto registration (called auto-focus) cannot operate properly,  
causing an error code to be displayed. In order for this function to operate 
properly, position, tilt and size must be adjusted properly.

Note: In case of replacing CRTs, adjust the set-up adjustments (items 
2-1 to 2-8) and the registration adjustment (item 2-10).  In the case 
of replacing multiple CRTs at the same time, replace and adjust them 
individually.

*  Error code will be displayed at the center of screen for 3 seconds.
