Gray Scale Tracking, Sub-Brightness
Adjustment
Procedure
Note:
Gray Scale and Sub-Brightness
must be adjusted
after
replacing
a Signal/Deflection
Module
in the PTV500
Systems.
The following
procedure
assumes
a Gray Scale problem
exists
and G2 (Screen
Controls)
require no further modifications.
Setup
Procedure:
1.
Install the new Signal/Deflection
Module.
2.
Turn the set On and tune to a good air or cable channel.
3.
Picture,
Sharpness,
Brightness
and Tint set to mid-range.
Color set to minimum.
4.
Set the Lo-Lite
Controls
(also
on the Signal/Deflection
Module) to their full counterclockwise
positions.
5.
Set the Hi-Lite
Controls
(On Signal/Deflection
Module)
to
their full clockwise
positions.
6.
Adjust the Sub-Brightness
Control (R776) so that the darkest
part of the picture is just barely lit (raster lines just barely visi-
ble).
7.
Adjust any two (2) Lo-Lite Controls (one to remain fully coun-
terclockwise)
to attain gray in low-light areas of the picture.
8.
Turn down
only the Hi-Lite Control
that is causing

white condition
in high brightness
white areas of the picture
(if pinkish,
reduce
red; if bluish,
