1. Select a video input with no signal applied (the screen must be black, 

and the room must be as dark as possible.  You may use a heavy 

blanket over the screen to block out ambient light).

2. Select picture mode “Personal 1” or “Personal 2”, and set 

BRIGHTNESS to 50% and PICTURE to minimum.

3. Turn the green SCREEN control on the focus block all the way to the 

left and then gradually turn it to the right until the retrace line is barely 

visible.

4. Gradually turn the control to the left until the retrace line just 

disappears.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the red and blue CRTs.

If the jig described below is available, it is recommended that the G2 

Fine Mode Adjustment be performed to set the screen controls to their 

optimal condition.   If desired, you can build the jig illustrated below, 

using 3-watt resistors.  Please note that if the proper voltage is not 

obtained with the listed resistor’s values, then increase or decrease one 

of the values in the resistor network to obtain the correct voltage.

1. Select VIDEO-1 mode no signal applied (the screen must be black).
2. Connect the G2 JIG.
3. Switch on the JIG.
4. Connect an oscilloscope to the TP701(KR), TP732(KG) and 

TP761(KB) of CR board, CG board and CB board.

5. Adjust red, green, and blue screen voltage to 168-172V with SCREEN 

controls on the focus block, as shown below.

1. Display a cross-hatch pattern
2. Enter the service mode.
3. Cover the red and blue CRT lenses with lens caps to allow only green 

to show (or use the method shown in the note below for turning off 

the CRTs individually without using lens caps).

4. Loosen the green CRT’s deflection yoke set screw and align the tilt 

of the deflection yoke so that the horizontal bars at the center of the 

cross-hatch pattern are parallel to the top and bottom edges of the 

screen. 

5. After aligning the deflection yoke fasten it securely, making sure it is 

fully forward on the neck of the CRT.

6. The tilt of the deflection yoke for red and blue are aligned the same 

way as the green CRT.  

  Cover the green and blue CRT lenses with lens caps (or use the 

method shown in the note below for turning off the CRTs individually 

without using lens caps), then repeat steps 4 and 5 for the red CRT.  

  Cover the green and red CRT lenses with lens caps (or use the 

method shown in the note below for turning off the CRTs individually 

without using lens caps), then repeat steps 4 and 5 for the blue CRT.

Note: If lens caps are unavailable, you can cut off the unnecessary color 

beams in the service mode by individually changing the data from “1” to 

“0” in category VPNT, item 28 RON (red), item 29 GON (green), or item 

30 BON (blue).
