Procedure to Improved picture Quality
The procedures below should be followed if the customer is complaining of poor picture quality. Although
these procedures were written for the RA-4W chassis they can also be applied to the RA-3 & RA-4 chassis in
most cases.
Note:
Test equipment required:
1.
Pattern Generator (with component (Y, Pb, Pr) outputs)
Ex.
Leader 408 or Quantum Data 801GG
Pre-Aging of the TV: Age the TV set before attempting to adjust the set (especially focus) by one of
the recommended amounts below. Aging Conditions: Apply an all white signal 100-IRE, minimum 30
min to a maximum of 1 hr. (over an hour, causes the CRTs to heat past the optimum adjustment
point), OR TV signal (with moving picture) minimum 2 hrs (no maximum time applies). If this method
of aging is used, be sure to coordinate with the customer/dealer beforehand so that the set is ready
upon your arrival. Use Vivid picture mode setting on TV.
Order of Adjustments: Please follow the order of adjustments as stated in this document. This will
maximize results while minimizing readjustment.
Confirmation / Adjustment Method: This procedure first instructs the technician to confirm whether
an adjustment is necessary. The technician should only perform the adjustment if the confirmation
indicates that it is required.
Method on how to Turn Off the CRTs: To perform some adjustments, it will be necessary to turn off
the CRTs, which can be done in the Service mode by doing the following: Select adjustment category
"MCP1", adjustment item # 07 "RON", #08 "GON", or #09 "BON". The applicable CRT is on when its
data is "01", and off when its data is "00".
Accessing the internal generator through the service mode. Select Category PJE MODE using
the 2 or 5 remote button. Repeated pressing of the remote button #6 will allow you to cycle through
the crosshatch, dots, and white signal video pattern.
