with the color receiver.

first read completely, it will be easier to decide what adjustrnent is necessary. The
uprt and [cornpletetr procedures are outlined under this section.
KNOW THE COTOR RECEIVER
IMPORTANT: The following data should be read
cornpletely before rnaking any color set-up adjust-
ments.
I N SI A t L AI I O N RE Q U I R E M E N I S
The color receiver should be placed away frorn bright windows or lights. Sorne light in
the roorn is desirable but should not fall directly on the screen. Receiver should always
be viewed in a roorn with low light 1eve1.
Allow for adequate ventilation. Receiver should be placed away frorn radiators, heat-
ing vents, etc. Do not place too close to walls.
Be sure receiver is conveniently located near electrical outlet and for antenn& conn€c-
tion.
IMPORTANCE OF DARK AREA FOR SEI.UP ADJUST}TENIS
Since ultirnately, the fidetity of color reproduction is dependent upon the accuracy of the
convergence and purity adjustrnents, these adjustrnents should be rnade in a darkened room
with the receiver in the sarne location and position as used for viewing. Window shades,
venetian blinds, etc. should be drawn or closed to eliminate as rnuch light as posslble. If
enough light cannot be elirni.nated, the color receiver shouldg!b. set-up in that area or
roofiI. A large cardboard carton or cloth shroud can be placed over the cabinet to darken

the screen for ease and accuracy in perforrning adjustrnents. It is preferable that the ad-
justments be rnade with the receiver in the location where it will be used. However, ad-
justments rnust be checked and readjusted if necessary, with the receiver in the final loca-
tion, position, and with the sarne light conditions under which it will be viewed. This is
necessary because of the affect of the earthrs rnagnetic field and other external rnagnetic
fields upon color purity and convergence. For exarnple, a color receiver that is properly
adjusted facing a particular direction, rnay reproduce faithful colors. If this receiver is
turned or ry1! to face in another directlon, purity and gyg.ry, rnay now be out of ad-
justrnent. The extent of the effect of rnoving the receiver after if is set up will vary from
set to set and location to location.
TIMITS OF PURITY AND CONVERGENCE
Perfect convergence norrnally cannot be obtained over the entire screen area. Picture
tube and deflection yoke developrnent of present-day design lirnit this condition, but it
should be understood that with careful and accurate adjustrnents, a very good convergence
covering at least 85% of the screen area can be achieved.
Good convergence in the four corners of the raster rnay not be obtained, but if..85% (plus or
rninus 5%l of. the total area is accurately converged, this is considered a norlTral, acceptable
condition.
The present-day color picture tube also lirnits color purity. I4rith careful and accurate
adjustments, good color purity can be achieved for each o{ the three fields with good black
and white reproduction. Very smalL areas of irnpurity at any of the four corners 6r sides
of the raster are considered acceptable.
BTACK AND WHlTE TR,ACKING
The black and white tracking adjustment is another irnportant consideration. If properly
rnade, the color set will produce black and white pictures within the norrnal useable range
of both lhe Contrast and Brightness controls. If the adjustrnent i" ir,Effii,TGtiE[T.-
ture wllI appear tinted and the color will vary at different Brightness and Contrast control
s etting s .
Cornplete TTBLACK AND WHITE TRACKING'| instructions are contained in the "COLOR
SET-UP ADJUSTMENTS" on page II.
DEATER AND CUSTO}TER INSTRUCTION
The Operating Instructions packed with the receiver should be reviewed with all those
who will operate and use a color television set. The expected perforrnance and lirnita-
tions of the color set should also be explained to the dealer or customer. This will help
thern rrunderstandrt their color receiver.
DEMAGNETIZING IHE COLOR PICTURE TUBE
Satisfactory purity and/or convergence of a color receiver rnay be difficult or irnpos-
sible to obtain if the metal parts of the picture tube or chassis have become magnetized.
Therefore, a dernagnetizing or degaussing procedure should be perforrned before making
the Color Set-Up Adjustrnents. Instructions on how to make a dernagnetizilrg coil are given
under "DEMAGNETIZING COIL" on page 49.
ANTENNA REQUIRTMENTS
The antenna requirernents for color reception are rnuch rrrore critical than for black and

white reception. tr'or best color reception, a broad band antenna should be used. It should
also have an essentially flat frequency response characteristic across the frequency range
of the desired channel. Some antennas of the 'rYagitr type do not rneet these requirernents
and should not be used. Built-in and Indoor antennas !o 4ot rneet these requirernents and
should not be used.
The CONICAL type antenna is a good choice for color reception.
Antenna orientation is also rnore critical than for black and white reception. Sorne an-
tenna positions rnay provide adequate black and wh:ite reception, but poor color reception.
If color reception is poor, and the receiver is operating properly, the antenna ehould be
oriented for best color reception while receiving a color program. If several stations are
received frorn different directions, an antenna rotator rnay be required.
Multiple antenna installations, particularly those ernploying distribution arnplifler sys-
terns, rnay not provide satisfactory eolor reception. Many TV boosters do not have suffi-
cient bandwidth for color reception.
Standing waves present on the antenna lead-in can also result in poor color or no color
reception. The lead-in should be properly rnatched to the r"ceivurFelkninate tffi condi-
tion. To deterrnine if standing waves are present, any one o{ the two following rnethods can
be used:
METHOD 1. Insert a LZ db pad between receiver antenna terrninals and lead-in as
shown in Figure 1, or,
METHOD 2. Slide a piece of tlnfoil (wrapped around the lead-in) atong the lead-in.

In either of the above two rnethods, if the signal increases in lntensity, it'is an indica-

lf signal intensity does not irnprove, rernove pad or tinfoil and. reconnect antenna lead-in
to set. I{ poor or no color reproduction is stilI experienced, the receiver or antenna ehould
be checked further.
If signal intensity does irnprove, and METHOD l was used, leave pad connected.
lf METHOD 2 was used, slide foil along lead-in until best picture is obtained. Fasten
foil on lead-in with tape at that point.

Poge 6PRECAUTIONS
HANDTING OF CHASSIS
The picture tube used in this chassis is rnuch rnore fragile than any black and white pic-
ture tube. The possibility of accidental breakage is increased because of additional assem-
blies mounted on the neck of the tube. The foltowing precautions should be taken.
t. It is irnportant that ehatterproof goggles, heavy gloves and a protective apron be
worn while handling or installing a picture tube.
2. Do not slide the assernblies rnounted on the neck of the picture tube hastily or care-
lessly, and without observing the procedures given.
3. Scratching, burnping or excessive pressure on the picture tube can result in an ex-
plosion of considerable violence.
The circuits of this chassis are more nunierous and cornplex than in black and white re-
ceivers. Rough or careless handling increases the possibility of accidental circuit faiLures.
HIGH VOLTAGE WAR,NING
Very htgh voltage is present at sorne points in this receiver. The 20,000 volt high volt-
age regulated supply has sufflcient energy to cause severe injury or death.
It ls irnperatlve that the following high voltage precautions be observed.
1. Operation of the set outside of the cabinet or with the cabinet back removed is a po-
tentlal shock hazard.
Z. Severe shock can result without rnaking physical contact with any high voltage
sources. At all tirnes when the receiver is operating, keep at least 3rr away frorn
all points where high voltage is present.
3. This set usea a rnetal coned picture tube that is protected by a covering insulator
(boot). At the front edge of the tube near the rnetal-to-glass seal , there is consid-
erable shock hazardwithln a distance of approxirnately 3'r frorn this edge.
X.NAY WARNING
'When the set is operating, the screen of the picture tube radiates soft X-Rays. These
are norrnally absorbed in the safety glass front, but operation of the receiver outside the
cabinet leaves the screen unprotected. This results in a focal point of these X-Rays at a'
bout 9r'in front of the central screen area. Exposure within this area for more than l7
hours a week inay cause physical injury. The X-Rays are weaker around the edge and
sldes of the tube. Physical exposure time around this area is unlirnited.
When maklng adjustrnents with an r.rrprotected picture tube, avold rernaining in the area
directly ln front of the plcture tube for rrrore than the 17 hours per week tirne lirnit. If it
becornes necessary, slrield the front of the tube with plate glass (at least l/4" thick). Thls
will absorb all X-Rays from the front area of the screen.

PRELI'WNARY SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
It is lmportant that any prelirninary service adjustrnents be rnade before the color set-up
adjustrnents to prevent upselting color purity or convergence.
Carefully check, and if necessarlr rnake the following adjustrnents in the order listed be-
Iow.
CHANNET STUGS
The setting of the Fine Tuning control and Channel Slugs are rnuch more critical for col-
or reception.
Be sure the correct point of tuning, as described below, oscurs at approxirnately rnid-
rotation of the Fine Tuning control.
IMPORTANT: If the Channel Slug or Fine Tuning
control is slightly rnisadjusted for a black and
white prograrn, the picture and sound rnay still be
acceptable. With the same Channel Slug and Fine
Tuning control setting for a color prograrn, the
picture rnaygg! E t. color.
The customer should be farniliarized with the irnportance of correctly setting the Fine
Tuning control.
If Channel Slugs need adjustment, proceed as follows:
A. Turn on set. Allow 15 rninutes for warrn-up.
B. Tune in station and set for norrnal picture and sound.
C. Set Fine Tuning control at approxirnately rnid-rotation.
IMPORTANT: See f igure 2 for position of Fine
Tuning carn for rnid-rotatlon setting. When carn
is in thls posltLon, Fine Tuning control is at rnid-
rotation.
D. Rernove Channel Selector and Fine Tuning knobs and insert a Lf 8" blade, flexlble
non-rnetallic tool through the hole adjacent to channel selector shaft. See f igure
z,
E. For each channel, carefully turn Channel SIug until sound bars appear in plcture.
Then turn slug toward best picture until sound bars just disappear.
Caution: Only slight rotation
of slug is necessary. Turn-
ing the slug clockwise too far
will cause it to fall into the
coil.

HORIZONTAL SNYC
The picture should rern,ain in sync throughout the range of the Horlzontal Hold control,
even when interrupting the signal by switching on and off station. See Figure 3 for location
of Horizontal frequency control.
The HORIZONTAL SYNC adjustrnent is per{orrned the sarne way as on a black and
white receiver using the rnultivibrator and discriminator rnethod for horlzontal sync and
sweep. For exarnple, all 20Y4 series black and white receivers use this rnethod.
RASTER TItT ADJUST}IENT
If raster is tilted, loosen the @g wing bolts (A) (see Figure 3) and rotate yoke until
picture is straight. Tighten the wing bo1ts.
Note: tr'igure 3 shows the location of only two wing
bolts (A). The third is located on the sarrre bracket
directly underneath the picture tube neck.
HEIGHI AND LINEARITY
These adjustrnents are adjusted the sarne way on the color receiver as on a black and
whlte receiver. Be sure to adjust for best height and linearity with the picture set at ap-
proxirnately llZt' beyond the top and bottorn lirnits of the rnask. The HEIGHT and LINEAR-
ITY controls are located behind the rernovable panel under the safety glass frarne. Re-
rrrove the four screws frorn under bottorn edge of the panel. Panel can then be easily re-
rnoved. Adjusting HEIGHT and LINEARITY after color set-up adjustrnents rnay upset color
purity and convergence. Flowever, if only a slight touch-up is necessary following color
set-up adjustrnents, the effectEy be negligible.
HOR!ZONTAt DRIVE
Adjust the HORIZONTAL DRIVE control to a point where the white vertical line(s) just
disappear, or to rna><irnurn if drive lines do not appear. See Figure 3 for control location.
Ma<irnurn drive is at rnaxirnurn (cornpletely clockwise) rotation of the control.
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL CENTER.ING
Adjust for proper horizontal and vertical centering. See Figure 3 for control locations.

from the strip of wood at the top of the safety gIass. Rernove safety glass and rnask'
Z. pull lhe rirn rnagnets all the way out into their shields; else the dernagnetizing coil rnay
dernagnetize tirre rirn rnagnets" See I'igure ? for rirn rnagnet locations.
3. Place the coil around the picture tube at the face plate. Energize the coil'
4. Keep the coil positioned around the picture tube for at least one rninute, and then slowly
withdraw the coil to a distance of 15 feet or rnore, keeping the plane of the coil parallel
to the picture tube {ace plate at all times.
5. If irnpossible to back off to 15 feet, this distance can be simulated by withdrawing the
coil to a distance of about 5 feet and then gradually reducing the coil supply voltage to
zero by use of a Variac or sirnilar device.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5.

I. If {ront panel has not been rernoved, rernove the four screws frorn under the rernovable
panel (covered with grille cloth on rnost rnodels) located on front of the set, directly un-
der safety glass frarne. See Figure 6. The panel can then be easily rernoved' (Do not
replace panel until all color adjustrnents have been cornpleted. )
Z. With receiver on, turn CONTRAST to rninirnurn and BRIGHTNESS to near rnaxirnurn
(see Figure 8 ).
3. Turn RED, GREEN and BLUE SCREEN, and GREEN and BLUE GRID controls to rnini-
rnum. See Figure 9-
4. Turn RED SCREEN to provide a bright raster. Observe field purity of red raster.
Note: If @lI areas of irnpurity are noticed only
around-4gSg of raster, a rrtouch-up" of purity
should be tried before proceeding with step 5. See
"TOUCH-UP OF PURITY" on Page 23.
If large areas of irnpurity are noticed around
edges, topr bottorn, or central areas, continue with
step 5.

If any hnpurity exists continue with Step 13.
Loosen screws IBrr(see Figure 3). Move the yoke back and forth and rotate each pURI-
TY RING going back and forth frorn one to the other until the purest red. raster is ob-
tained over most of the screen area (particularly over the central , top, and bottorn
areas ).
Adjust the six RIM MAGNETS by rotating and pushing thern in and out until the rnost uni-
forrn red raster appears around the edge of the screen.
Check the green raster purity by turning the RED SCREEN control cornpletely to the left
and turning the GREEN GRID and SCREEN controls up to obtain a green raster. The
raster should appear green over the entire screen area. Turn the GREEN GRID and
SCREEN controls cornpletely to the left and turn the BLUE GRID and SCREEN controls
up to obtain a blue raster. The raster should appear uniforrnly blue over the entire
screen area.
16. Tighten screws rrBrr.
17. Repeat static center dot convergence (step11). Ifapure red, green andblue raster is
not obtained, the picture tube rnay not have been cornpletely demagnetized. Repeat DE-
MAGNETIZING procedure and pURITy adjustments.
18. Recenter the raster with the centering controls when necessary.
(
Note: If individual pure rasters are still not acceptable,
a cornprornise purity adjustrnent should be rnad.e. (

A suitable W'hite Dot Generator (such as ADMIRAL Model TE-100) is necessary for
CONVERGENCE adjustrnents. See ',TEST EQUIpMENT,, on page 3g.
B. LOCATION OF CONTROLS
The STATIC Convergence controls are located on the fronl apron of the chassis
and the Blue Lateral Magnet in its holder on the tube neck. See Figure 5.
The DYNAMIC Convergence controls are located on the front apron of the chas-
sis. Rernove the four screws frorn under the rernovable front panel for access to
controls. The panel is then easily rernoved. Identification of these adjustrnents is
indicated in Figure 9 and on a label on the chassis apron.

C. SET-UP PROCEDURE
Apply the white d.ot signal to the receiver. See step 10 under PURITY.
Note: Adjust the three guns to provide dots of intensity
d.istinct enough for viewing and equal in size, but of low
enough intensity to keep the dot size at a rninirnurn. Very
low ambient light conditions are recomrnended.
iMPORTANT: If only a touch-up of convergence is needed, do not perforrn the following
3 steps.
1. Set all VERTICAL TILT controls to the center of their rnechanical rotation range (zero
saw waveform applied to convergence coils).
Z. Set all VERTICAL AMPLITUDE controls cornpletely to the 1eft, (minirnurn waveforms
applied to convergence coils).

Note: Either a cross hatch or dot video pattern can be used in the
following convergence procedure. The cross hatch lends it-
seLf better for rapid convergence, however for accurate final
adjustrnents, the dot pattern is rnore desirable.
