Adjusting The Side Mask - Pioneer PDP-501MX Technical Manual

8) Adjusting the Side Mask

The side mask adjusts the brightness of no-image areas appearing on the fringe of the screen when the screen size
is set to 4:3 NORMAL or to ORIGINAL, for example. The brightness of each colour of RGB can be adjusted separately.
(Adjusting the side mask momentarily causes the screen size to be switched over.) In adjusting the side mask, think
of how video signals develop with time and also of a balance in the brightness between the adjacent display sets.
NOTE: SIDA MARK adjustment is unavailable for (4.5kHz x 60Hz or 33.75kHz x 60Hz) signal inputs.

The ID number of the set of adjustment items will be
indicated in the upper right corner of the screen, where "–
