5 Alignment and Adjustments
This section of the service manual explains how to make permanent adjustments to the monitor. Directions are given for adjustments using the monitor Interface Board Ver. 2.0 and software (Softjig).

5-1 Adjustment Conditions
Caution: Changes made without the SoftJig are saved only to the user mode settings. As such, the settings are not permanently stored and may be inadvertently deleted by the user.

5-1-1

Before Making Adjustments

5-1-1 (a) ORIENTATION When servicing, always face the monitor to the east. 5-1-1 (b) MAGNETIC FIELDS Whenever possible, use magnetic field isolation equipment such as a Helmholtz field to surround the monitor. If a Helmholtz field is not available, frequently degauss the unit under test. Caution: Other electrical equipment may cause external magnetic fields which may interfere with monitor performance. Use an external degaussing coil to limit magnetic build up on the monitor. If an external degaussing coil is not available, use the internal degaussing circuit. However, do not use the internal degaussing circuit more than once per 30 minutes. 5-1-1 (c) WARM-UP TIME The monitor must be on for 30 minutes before starting alignment procedures. Warm-up time is especially critical in Color Temperature and White Balance adjustments. 5-1-1 (d) SIGNAL Analog, 0.7 Vp-p positive at 75 ohm, internal termination Sync: Separate (TTL level negative/positive) 5-1-1 (e) SCANNING FREQUENCY Horizontal: 30 kHz to 55 kHz (automatic) 14Ó 30 kHz to 61 kHz (automatic) 15Ó Vertical: 50 Hz to 120 Hz (automatic) Unless otherwise specified, adjust at the 800 x 600 mode (H : 53.7 kHz, V: 85 Hz) -14Ó/15Ó signals. Refer to Table on page 2-3.

5-1-1 (f) +B 13 V LINE CHECK No beam Contrast: Maximum Brightness: Maximum Check the DC 13 V ± 0.2 V at Cathode of D616 Point and GND. 5-1-1 (g) HIGH VOLTAGE CHECK No beam Contrast: Maximum Brightness: Maximum Check the high voltage to 24.5 ± 0.5 kV - 14Ó, 25 ± 0.5 kV - 15Ó at anode and GND. 5-1-1 (h) CENTER RASTER Adjust VR501 so that the back raster comes to the center when you apply a signal of 60 kHz/75 Hz - 15Ó . 5-1-1 (i) BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST Unless otherwise specified, adjust brightness and contrast buttons: Brightness: Maximum (press Å button until the LED is blink) Contrast: Maximum (press Å button until the LED is blink)

5-1-3 Connecting the SoftJig
Connect the monitor to the signal generator and/ or PC as illustrated in Figures 5-1 and 5-2. Note: The signal cable connector which includes the 3-wire cable must connect to the monitor. If you use Setup 2 (PC only, no signal generator) you can only make adjustments to the signal timing available on that computer system. To make corrections to all factory timings requires the use of an additional signal generator. Figure 5-2. Setup 2, Without Signal Generator

5-1-4 After Making Adjustments
After finishing all adjustments, test the monitor in all directions. If, for example, the monitor does not meet adjustment specifications when facing north, reposition the monitor to face east and readjust. This time, try for an adjustment closer to the ideal setting within the tolerance range. Test the unit again in all directions. If the monitor again fails to meet specifications in every direction, contact your Regional After Service Center for possible CRT replacement.

5-2 Display Control Adjustments
5-2-1 Centering
Centering means to position the center point of the display in the middle of the display area. Horizontal size and position and vertical size and position control the centering of the display. Adjust the horizontal size and vertical size to their optimal settings: 267 mm (H) x 200 mm (V) for 15Ó, 255 mm (H) x 191 mm (V) for 14Ó Adjust the horizontal position and vertical position to within 4.0 mm of the center point of the screen. l A - B l ² 5.0 mm. l C - D l ² 5.0 mm.

Center the test pattern on the raster.

5-2-2 Linearity
Linearity affects the symmetry of images as they appear on the screen. Unless each row or column of blocks in a crosshatch pattern is of equal size, or within the tolerances shown in Tables 5-1 and 5-2, an image appears distorted, elongated or squashed. The formular of linearity (%)
= 2 x (Max ­ Min) Max + Min x 100

PROCEDURE Horizontal minimum size can be adjusted as follows using Softjig. 1. Display the timing 800 x 600/85 Hz. 2. Adjust horizontal size to minimum size using H_SIZE. 3. Adjust horizontal minimum size to 250 mm (15Ó) or 242 mm (14Ó) using H_SIZE MIN. 4. Adjust horizontal size to 267 mm (15Ó) or 255 mm (14Ó) using H_SIZE. 5. Press the ALL MODE SAVE horizontal minimum size for each timing is saved automatically. If horizontal minimum size range cannot meet the spec, horiontal maximum size of 640 x 480/75 Hz including 800 x 600/60 Hz, 56 Hz, may be saturated or cannot overscan the bezel.

5-3-1 Color Coordinates (Temperature)
Color temperature is a measurement of the radiant energy transmitted by a color. For computer monitors, the color temperature refers to the radiant energy transmitted by white. Color coordinates are the X and Y coordinates on the chromaticity diagram of wavelengths for the visible spectrum. CONDITIONS Measurement instrument: Color analyzer Scanning frequency: 53.7 kHz/85 Hz Display image: White flat field at center of display area Luminance: Maximum PROCEDURE Using the directions in sections 5-3-2 through 5-3-5, adjust the Color Coordinates for 9300K to x = 0.283 ± 0.02 and y = 0.298 ± 0.02 Figure 5-8. Green Box Pattern CONDITIONS Measurement instrument: Color analyzer Scanning frequency: 53.7 kHz/85 Hz Display image: Green box pattern within range for which the ABL circuit is not active (1/3 to 1/2H and 1/3 to 1/2V). Brightness: Maximum Contrast: Maximum PROCEDURE 1. Adjust G-Gain so that the brightness of the green gain is 40 ± 1 ft-L (typically 40 ft-L).

5-3-9 Color Purity Adjustment
Color purity is the absence of undesired color. Conspicuous mislanding (unexpected color in a uniform field) within the display area shall not be visible at a distance of 50 cm from the CRT surface. CONDITIONS Orientation: Monitor facing east Scanning frequency: 53.7 kHz/85 Hz Display image: White flat field Luminance: Cutoff point at the center of the display area Caution: Color purity adjustments should only be attempted by qualified personnel. PROCEDURE For trained and experienced service technicians only. Use the following procedure to correct minor color purity problems: 1. Make sure the display is not affected by external magnetic fields. Use an external degaussing coil to neutralize magnetic fields which may be affecting color purity. 2. Very carefully break the glue seal between the 2-pole purity convergence magnets (PCM), the band and the spacer . 3. Make sure the spacing between the PCM assembly and the CRT stem is 22.5 mm ± 1 mm. 4. Display a red pattern over the entire display area. 5. Adjust the Purity Magnet Rings on the PCM assembly to display a pure green pattern. (Optimal setting: x = x = 0.283 ± 0.02, y = 0.298 ± 0.02) 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 using a red pattern and then again, using a blue pattern. Table 5-3. Color Purity Tolerances Red: Green: Blue: x = 0.625 ± 0.015 x = 0.310 ± 0.015 x = 0.150 ± 0.015 y = 0.340 ± 0.015 y = 0.592 ± 0.015 y = 0.063 ± 0.015

PROCEDURE 1. Adjust the Contrast control so that the brightness of the video is about 5 ft-L. 2. Check whether the white coordinates of the video meet the specification above. If they do not, adjust them so that they do. 3. Adjust the Contrast to maximum luminance. 4. Check whether the white coordinates still meet the specification above. If they do not, adjust them so that they do.

5-3-8 Luminance Uniformity Check
CONDITIONS Measurement instrument: Color analyzer Scanning frequency: 53.7 kHz/85 Hz Display image: White flat field Brightness: Cut off point at 30 ft-L PROCEDURE Measure luminance at nine points on the display screen: top left corner, top center, top right corner, center row left side, center, center row right side, bottom left corner, bottom center, and bottom right corner. 5-6

(For 9300K white color adjustment: x = 0.283 ± 0.02, y = 0.298 ± 0.02) 7. When you have the PCMs properly adjusted, carefully gule them together with Locktite to prevent their movement during shipping.
