Consider this:
Toshiba CRT based rear projection televisions allow convergence adjustments to be
made in two areas:
1. User convergence area - This area can be accessed through the customer
picture menu by using the remote control or the front panel keys.
Adjustments can only be made by remote control.
2. Service Mode convergence area – This area should only be accessed by
qualified service technicians. A remote control is required for both access
and adjustment.
Readme: Qualified technicians should always align convergence in the Service
Mode.
First things first - Overlays:
Convergence overlays are service tools available for purchase through Toshiba
National Parts or Toshiba authorized parts distributors. The overlays are recommended
as guides following a “worst-case” situation, such as a CRT or Digital Convergence Unit
(DCU) replacement. While an overlay can also be used to perform a minor alignment,
this module will assume the worst-case scenario.
Each overlay kit contains all grids relative to the screen size and aspect ratio of the unit
to be aligned. Many older 4:3 aspect ratio units have only one grid to adjust. Newer 4:3
units of the same screen size also require adjustment in High Definition (HD)
compressed mode. This mode can be accessed through the customer menu.
Widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) units built prior to 2001 have up to six different picture
size modes that require adjustment: 1. Full/Standard/Natural
2. Wide 1
3. Wide 2
4. Wide 3
5. HD Full
6. HD Standard
Widescreen units built before the HD revolution have only picture size modes 1 through
4. Widescreen units built in 2001 and later are only adjustable in FULL mode. The
settings for all other picture size modes are calculated from the FULL mode information
by the DCU microprocessor.
The overlays come as one complete sheet and will have to be trimmed following the
included instructions. Each kit also contains step-by-step, centering, focusing, and
convergence alignment instructions. These instructions vary according to the type of
unit. Kits used for more than one type contain instructions for all types covered.
Readme:In many cases, convergence problems have been corrected by
exactly following the supplied instructions.

When using an overlay kit, it is important to know the type of unit it is designed for use
with and the kit part number. The availability and part numbers of the overlay kits are
subject to change as screen sizes are added or discontinued. Table 1 details the
currently available overlay kit part numbers.

Table 1
Each kit part number begins with the acronym PSOL, meaning Protective Screen Over
Lay. Following the acronym are a series of alpha-numeric characters identifying the
screen size and intended unit type. In Example 1, “40” identifies the kit for use with a 40
inch screen size. “X1” indicates the kit contains all grids for any unit in that screen size.
Example 1: PSOL40X1
In some cases there are models with different aspect ratios within a screen size
category. In such cases, the letter “W” in the kit part number indicates use with wide
screen (16:9 aspect ratio) units. See Example 2 for details:
Example 2
PSOL50X1 is used with any 50 inch unit with a 4:3 aspect ratio screen.
PSOL50W1 is used with any 50 inch unit with a 16:9 aspect ratio screen.
Readme: The overlay dimensions are contained in the appropriate unit Service
Manual, as shown in Figure 1. If a particular overlay kit is not available, or there
is an urgent need for a complete convergence alignment before the kit can be
delivered, strings and low-tack tape can be used to achieve the desired results.

Page 7 of 20
Readme: Backup data should be loaded only if corruption of the original data
is suspected or if the set is severely misconverged. Minor misconvergence
issues should be corrected by performing the appropriate alignment procedure.
To load back up data:
1. Enter Service Mode as described in the appropriate Service Manual.
2. Enter convergence alignment mode by pressing the “7” key on the remote.
3. Display vertical stripes by pressing the “9” key on the remote.
4. Load the backup by pressing the “1” key on the remote.
a. The following message will appear on screen for:
ENTER: TO LOAD BACKUP DATA
EXIT: TO EXIT
5. Press the “ENTER” key on the remote, as shown in Figure 5, to load the backup
data.

state.
Figure 5
6. Following the alignment procedure in the service manual, make any necessary
convergence adjustments.
7. Write the new data to convergence memory by pressing the “7” key on the
remote one time.
8. Press the “Touch Focus” key on the front panel of the unit.
a. The Touch Focus pattern will scroll across the screen two times. Once
quickly, then slowly.
9. “CALIBRATION FINISHED” will display on screen and the unit will exit to service
mode.
a. The new convergence data is saved to memory and new backup data is
created.
10.Power the unit off to exit service mode.

Page 8 of 20
Readme: Do not attempt to load backup data if the digital convergence PCB has
been replaced. Backup data in the new PCB memory is not created until
convergence has been adjusted and the CALIBRATION procedure has been
completed.
Something to think about:
It is important to know when a convergence alignment will not correct the unit problem.
If after following the correct procedure, the convergence cannot be aligned to factory
specifications, further troubleshooting is required. Table 3 lists a few of the many
possible symptoms.
Repeated Touch Focus errors
Intermittent loss of convergence
Repeated convergence drift of any color
Selected color will not adjust in either direction
Convergence crosshatch pattern will not display
Convergence crosshatch pattern is severely distorted
Touch Focus pattern is not displayed
Touch Focus pattern is severely distorted
Back up data will not load
Cannot enter Service Mode
Data cannot be saved after alignment
Table 3
Points to remember:
Familiarity and practice help the technician develop confidence in performing a digital
convergence alignment or determining the need for further troubleshooting. Having the
knowledge and necessary tools available are an important first step in the process of
gaining experience. While taking this first step, it is best to follow the alignment
instructions carefully and exactly. Back up data, if available, is a useful tool if problems
occur. It can provide a good starting point in certain cases, but it should not be viewed
as a “cure-all” for convergence problems. In most cases, only minor adjustments will be
necessary. Focus and centering adjustments will not be needed and the procedure can
begin in the GEOMETRY stage. Minor adjustments made in this way do not require
the use of back up data or an overlay kit. Simply make the needed adjustments, save
the new data accordingly, exit the service mode, and you’re outta there!
