3 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
For your own safety, read all of these instructions and save them for later
reference.
3-1 POWER PLUG
This display monitor is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type power plug.
The third pin provides a safety ground for the display frame and will fit
only into the power outlet of compatible configuration.
Contact your technician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
3-2 POWER INPUT
This display should be operated only from the types of power source
indicated on the label. If there is any question about the type of power
supplied to the outlet, consult your technician or dealer.
3-3 VENTILATION
Openings on the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To
insure reliable operation and to protect the display from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not place the display near or
over a radiator or heating vent. If this unit is installed within another
enclosure be sure that adequate ventilation has been provided.
Never push objects of any kind through the cabinet openings. They may
touch dangerous voltage points or cause short circuits that could result in
fire or electrical shock.
3-4 ATTACHMENTS
Signal sources must be of approved types and properly grounded. If safety
standards are to be maintained ask the service technician to perform routine
safety tests to determine that all equipment is in safe operation condition.
Overloaded or poorly grounded AC power systems can cause severe
difference in ground potential between the display and the signal source,
particularly on long video lines where the display and the source are
plugged into different AC power circuits. Besides causing signal
instability, ground potential may be great enough to present a shock hazard.
Ground potential tests should be part of the routine safety check made by
the service technician.

3-5 CLEANING
Unplug the power cord from the outlet before cleaning the display. Use
only a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use strong liquid cleaner or
aerosol sprays. Do not attempt to clean the interior of the unit: this action
must be performed by the service technician as required during normal
maintenance.
3-6 SERVICE
Removal of the back by an unauthorised person may expose the user to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the display from
the power outlet and notify the service technician should any of the
following occur
(a) If liquid has been split into the display.
(b) If the display has been exposed to rain or water.
(c) If the display has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
(d) If fuses continue to blow.
(e) If the power cord is damaged or frayed.
(f) If a distinct change from normal operation is apparent.

4 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
This alignment procedure is for adjusting/testing picture performance. In
order to obtain the optimum result the following adjustment sequence must
be followed step by step:
4-1 Check B+ voltage:
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position
(c) make sure 28Vdc±0.1Vdc use digital multimeter positive leader test
D909 negative point, negative leader to ground.
4-2 Vertical Linearity adjustment:
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position
(c) adjust VR301 to make equal distance between top-centre and bottom-
centre.
4-3 Horizontal-hold adjustment
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position
(c) turn off horizontal-sync (pin to ground)
(d) adjust VR402 to make pattern upright.
4-4 Geometric distortion pattern adjustment:
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position
(c) adjust eight magnets on the deflection yoke to make picture to its
best condition.
4-5 Video centering adjustment:
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) the video is centered by rotating the two small rotary controls at the
rear of the yoke.
4-6 Horizontal-width adjustment:
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position
(c) adjust L403 to make picture width within 165±4 mm

- 8 -
4-7 Vertical height adjustment
(a) test pattern: cross hatch
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position.
(c) Adjust VR302 to make height to 120±4 mm.
4-8 Vertical-hold (Free-run 52Hz) adjustment:
(a) disconnect video signal
(b) use frequency counter ⊕leader, measure vertical yoke point,
adjustment VR303 make frequency value to 52Hz.
4-9 Raster adjustment:
(a) disconnect video signal
(b) set up external brightness VR to maximum, external contrast VR to
maximum.
(c) Adjust VR403 to have luminance equal to 0.5 ~ 1.0 FL.
4-10 Brightness check:
(a) test pattern: full white
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to maximum position
(c) over 60 FL.
4-11 Focus adjustment:
(a) test pattern: “H” character pattern
(b) set up external brightness and contrast VR to central position
(c) adjust VR404 have central picture and 4 corners to be distinguished.
