TOSHIBA PJTV Digital Convergence Alignment 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

TOSHIBA PJTV Digital Convergence Alignment 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.

TOSHIBA PJTV Digital Convergence Alignment Figure 1 And then… Accessing Service Mode: Once the correct overlay is placed on the screen, the unit must be put into Service Mode before any alignment adjustments are made. There are currently two methods of Service Mode entry, dependant upon the model and type of set. The methods are described as follows: 1. All digital convergence equipped units built prior to 2001 and all interlaced scan units: a. With the unit powered “ON”, pre

TOSHIBA PJTV Digital Convergence Alignment 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 “

TOSHIBA PJTV Digital Convergence Alignment 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 specifica
