P5P Convergence Adjustment Procedure

Warning:
This training material is designed for experienced repair technicians only and is not designed for
use by the public. It does not contain warnings or cautions to advise non-technical individuals of
potential dangers in attempting to service a product. Products powered by electricity should be
serviced or repaired only by experienced professional technicians. Any attempt to service or
repair the product or products dealt with in this training material by anyone else could result in
serious injury or death.

Preparations:
The procedures discussed here apply to Projection Televisions equipped with the P5 and P6
chassis. Models using screens with the aspect ratio of 4:3 require convergence in three modes,
NTSC (480i), 1080i 16:9, and 1080i 4:3. Wide screen models with an aspect ratio of 16:9 require
convergence in only 2 modes, NTSC (480i) and 1080i. This detailed procedure covers the
complete convergence process, which is required if the A board is replaced. A particular unit
under repair may not require the entire procedure. To ensure customer satisfaction, please verify
proper operation in all broadcast modes.

The following tools are required

to complete the procedure:
• NTSC Signal
Generator
• Monoscope Pattern
Generator
• 1080i Signal Source
• Remote Control
(EUR7603Z20)
• Convergence

n) Select an active channel or video source.

Format Setting:

The same "A" board is used In the P5P and P5PW Chassis, regardless of the physical screen
aspect ratio. A Version setting (VER) is included in the Serviceman menu to compensate for the
format differences. Therefore, it is highly recommended that a confirmation of that setting be
performed before starting the adjustment procedures. Currently the affected models are:
P5PW Chassis family: PT-47WX49E, PT-47WX51E, PT-56WX51E, and PT-65WX51E
P5P Chassis family: PT-51HX41E, PT-56HX41E, PT-61HX41E, and SR5144E.

Confirmation of VER Setting:

1. Press the Power button to access the
Serviceman mode menu.
2. Use Channel Up/Down and Volume
Up/Down buttons to highlight "VER" in
the Serviceman menu.
3. Press the Action button on the remote.
A display of the two aspect ratios 4:3
and 16:9 appears, with one highlighted.
4. Use the Volume Up/Down button to
highlight the setting that matches the
physical aspect ratio of the screen.
5. Unplug the monitor from the outlet.
6. Plug the monitor back into the outlet.
The monitor will turn back on, without

NOTICE:

For your convenience, the convergence circuits on replacement boards have been pre-
programmed with average EEPROM data for the convergence alignment. The EEPROM is
NOT blank; therefore, the average data should reduce the time needed to converge this
unit. More extensive convergence touchup may be needed on 51”, 56” and 61” models.

Preliminary Adjustments:

Press the Action button to bring up the Roller Guide menu.

Use the Channel Up or Channel Down button to highlight the Setup menu.
Press the Action button to access the setup functions.
Use the Channel Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons to access the Convergence 1
adjustment.
Using the Channel Up/Down and Volume Up/Down Buttons, adjust both Green values to
zero.
Press the Action button and do the same for Red, then Blue. This provides maximum
range of raster movement to the customer while adjusting the Static Convergence.
Press the Action button, repeatedly, to exit the Setup Menu.

 Coarse Convergence Adjustment

Press the Power button to access the Serviceman Mode menu.

Serviceman Mode Menu

Select the Coarse Convergence Mode from the Menu and press the Action Button.

Coarse Mode Pattern

Coarse Convergence Mode includes seven adjustments, Static, Skew, Size, Linear, Pin, Corner,
and Key. Press the TV/Video button to cycle through the adjustments. These adjustments are
somewhat interactive. This means that the "Linear" adjustment for example, can affect the Size
adjustment.

STATIC: Use this adjustment to align the raster pattern to the embossed marks on the
cabinet.

Skew: Use this adjustment to make the shape of the pattern as rectangular as possible with
the pattern's vertical lines parallel to the vertical screen edges.

SIZE: This adjustment is used to match the outside edges of the pattern to the edges of the
screen. Straight and perpendicular lines are desired; perfect alignment however may require
cycling through these adjustments due to interactions.

5
 LINEAR: Use this adjustment to obtain an equivalent picture size on both sides of the screen.
This adjustment directly interacts with the size adjustment. You would need to alternately
touch-up both adjustments until they are both correct.

PIN: Use this adjustment to eliminate or minimize curvature distortions, vertical and
horizontal.

CORNER: Use this adjustment to obtain perpendicular lines in each of the screen corners.

KEY: Adjust for a rectangular picture by minimizing trapezoidal distortions.

 Fine Convergence Adjustments
Press and Hold the TV/Video button until the Crosshatch pattern appears on the screen.

While in any of the Fine Adjustment modes, press the Mute button to toggle between "Cursor"
and "Data" modes.

There are four adjustments in the Fine

Convergence Adjustment mode, LINE, EASY,
POINT, and ORIGINAL POINT. LINE mode is used
to correct a single raster line horizontally or
vertically.

Line Adjustment

EASY mode allows the technician to adjust a group

of horizontal and vertical lines adjacent to the
cursor. In this mode, there are only 9 adjustment
positions on the screen and data values are
changed in increments of 4.

Easy Adjustment

POINT mode is similar to EASY mode except

that there are 77 adjustment points, 49 of
which are visible on the screen and 28 are off-
screen (on the perimeter). In this mode, data
values are changed in increments of 2.

Point Adjustment

18
 ORIGINAL POINT mode uses the same adjustment
points as in POINT mode except that the data values
are changed in increments of 1.

Orig. Point adjustment

Note: Not all the crosshatch alignment points are accessible, so adjust for overall best
picture.

Fine Convergence Adjustments should be done in the order: LINE, EASY, POINT, and
ORIGINAL POINT.
Reinstall the template. The template is necessary while converging the Green raster.

G- LINE Mode:

1. Press the TV/Video button, repeatedly, on the remote until the LINE mode cursor is
displayed.
2. Press the 1 or 3, repeatedly, on the remote until the Green raster only is displayed.
3. Using the Channel Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons, move the cursor to the
center of the screen.
4. Press the Mute button to change to DATA mode. The display will change from CURSOR
to DATA and the cursor square will stop blinking.
5. Use the Channel Up/Down buttons to adjust the position of the Green Horizontal line to
coincide with the template line.

Screen Size Mode Grid line Color

56” 480P/480i Blue grid lines
56” 1080i 4:3 Mode Orange grid lines
56” 1080i 16:9 Mode Yellow grid Lines
61” 480P/480i Black grid lines
61” 1080i 4:3 Mode Magenta grid lines
61” 1080i 16:9 Mode Green grid lines

Concentrate on the center of each horizontal line only, the edges will be adjusted in other modes
of adjustment.

6. Switch back to cursor mode by pressing the Mute button on the remote.
7. Move the cursor to the next horizontal line and continue the process. Work your way out
from the center of the screen up and down. Adjust until all of the horizontal lines match
the template lines.
8. Press 7 then Action to save the data changes.

19
When adjustments of all the horizontal lines are completed, continue by adjusting the vertical
lines.

9. Using the Channel Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons, move the cursor to the
center of the screen.
10. Press the Mute button to change to DATA mode. The display will change from cursor to
data and the cursor square will stop blinking.
11. Use the Volume Up/Down buttons to adjust the position of the green vertical line so it
coincides with the applicable template line. You will probably notice that lines that are
farther from their corresponding template grid lines have more tendencies to affect the
position of lines adjacent to them. This is normal. You may have to go back and readjust
the positions of the affected lines. Concentrate on the center of each line only during this
adjustment. The edges will be aligned in other adjustment modes.

When adjustments of all vertical and horizontal lines are completed, save the data changes.

G- EASY Mode

Use this mode to correct larger areas of the screen that are out of convergence. You should only
have to adjust eight of the nine adjustment points since the center point was previously corrected
in LINE Mode. Use EASY mode to straighten curved lines.

12. Press the TV/Video button until "G-EASY" is displayed. Press the “Mute” button to
change to CURSOR mode.
13. Use the Channel Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons to move the cursor to the
adjustment position.
14. Press the Mute button to change to DATA mode.
15. Adjust the group of lines near the cursor so that they are as straight as possible. Work
your way around the screen adjusting the green raster lines to match the template lines.
16. When all eight points are adjusted, save the data changes.

After the EASY mode adjustment is complete, do not return to it to correct a misconverged spot.
A readjustment of any point in the EASY mode will result in misadjusting the convergence of that
area of the screen, which you may have already converged, using subsequent adjustments.

G-Point Mode

POINT mode is used to adjust positions that are not accessible in EASY The changes will affect
Mode. Adjustments are made in data increments of 2. the outside point.

17. Press the TV/Video button, repeatedly, until "G-POINT" is

displayed.
18. Press the “Mute” button to change to CURSOR mode.
19. Adjust the center area of the screen then work way
outwards.

There are 28 points that are located outside the screen border
(off-screen). Their presence outside the screen is intended to
help in converging the lines at the edges of the screen
more closely.
However, If the cursor is located outside the edge
They may not of the screen, it will blink between the 2

adjust. When

20
the cursor is moved to the edge of the screen, it starts blinking at two points, alternately.
These two points are inline with the off-screen point to be converged.

20. Adjust the Green lines at the edge of screen to match them as closely as possible to the
template lines.
21. When you feel comfortable with the outcome of the adjustments, save the data changes.

G- Original Point Mode

22. Press the TV/Video button, repeatedly, until G-ORIG POINT is displayed. G ORIG POINT
is similar to G POINT except for the adjustment values, which are changed in data
increments of 1. Adjustment values can be viewed by pressing the “RECALL” button on
the remote control. When all the green lines are adjusted to match the template lines,
save the data changes.

Now, since the Green lines match the template lines, adjust the Red lines to match the Green
lines. Therefore, the template is not necessary for this part of the convergence alignment.

Red Convergence

Select the Red raster adjustment by pressing 1 or 3, repeatedly, until the Red and Green raster
lines are displayed. The Red and Green lines should converge and create yellow lines.
Remember that the Green raster should not be readjusted.

Starting with LINE, then EASY, POINT, and then ORIGINAL POINT, align the Red raster lines
with the Green raster lines, following the same procedures you followed when you aligned the
Green raster lines with the template lines. Remember to save the data periodically by pressing
the 7 then Action on the remote control.

Blue Convergence

Select the Blue raster adjustment by pressing 1 or 3, repeatedly, until the Blue and Green raster
lines are displayed. The Blue and Green lines should converge and create cyan lines.

Starting with LINE, then EASY, POINT, and then ORIGINAL POINT, align the Blue raster lines
with the Green raster lines, following the same procedures you followed when you aligned the
Red raster lines with the Green raster lines. You may have to dim the room lights to clearly see
the blue raster. You may also find it easier to view all three rasters together, in this case adjust
the Blue raster lines to merge with the Red and Green raster lines creating white lines.
Remember to save the data periodically by pressing the 7 then Action on the remote control.

21
1080i Mode

After you have completed the convergence adjustments in the NTSC (480i) mode, you need to
apply a DTV 1080i signal to one of the component inputs of the monitor and perform the
convergence adjustments for the 1080i mode. The data values for this mode are stored in the
EEPROM storage location P4.

1. Press the Power button, repeatedly, on the remote control until CHK is displayed in
the upper left hand corner of the screen.
2. Press the TV/Video button until the 1080i signal is visible on the screen.
3. Press the Power button and verify that 1080i and 4:3 in the Serviceman menu are
both highlighted in red. If 1080i is not highlighted, then the 1080i input is not
selected. One method of verifying that the 1080i source has been selected is to
press 7 while in the convergence adjustment mode. The message "Store P-4"
should appear.

Convergence procedures for the 1080i mode are the same as those of the NTSC mode. The
differences are in the storage location, which is P-4 and in the template grid lines.

Screen Size Mode Grid line Color

56” 480P/480i Blue grid lines
56” 1080i 4:3 Mode Orange grid lines
56” 1080i 16:9 Mode Yellow grid Lines
61” 480P/480i Black grid lines
61” 1080i 4:3 Mode Magenta grid lines
61” 1080i 16:9 Mode Green grid lines

Start by setting the Static Convergence levels to zero, go to Register mode and align the TEST

12. Press the 5 button to superimpose the external video source signal on the
convergence pattern.
13. Using the Channel Up/Down buttons, Align the cross hair with the center of the
monoscope pattern. Verify that the vertical and horizontal centerlines match the
marks on the cabinet. If they do not, the picture is not centered. The picture
centering adjustment will have to be performed.
14. Press 5 to exit the Superimpose mode.
15. Press TV/VIDEO button to enter the DATA POS Adjustment mode.
16. Use the Volume Up/Down buttons to make the curve in the center of the screen
symmetrical. The upward and downward slopes of the hill should be of the same
shape.
17. Press “TV/VIDEO” button to enter the OSD_POS Adjustment Mode.

 18. Press “5” on the remote control to superimpose the monoscope pattern on
convergence pattern.
19. Use the Channel Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons to align the cursor center
with the monoscope pattern center.
20. Finally, press 0 to return to the COARSE ADJ MODE.

Continue by following the same procedures you used when you adjusted the 480i NTSC in the
Fine Convergence Mode.

Adjust Fine convergence in the order, LINE, EASY, POINT, and ORIGINAL POINT.
Use the corresponding pattern lines on the convergence template to adjust the Green lines, then
align the Red and Blue raster lines to the Green. Remember to save the data changes
periodically, to location P-4.

Models Equipped with 4:3 Aspect Ratio Screens (HX)

P5 and P6 projection televisions require the convergence to be adjusted in 1080i (16:9) mode
and the 1080i (4:3) mode.
1. Press the Power button on the remote, repeatedly, until CHK is displayed in Red on
the screen.
2. Press the Action button on the remote and bring up the Picture Menu.
3. Use the Volume Up/Down buttons to select Video Adj. 2.
4. Select the 16:9 aspect ratio and press the Action Button twice to exit the menu.
5. Press the Power button on the remote control and verify that the Serviceman mode
menu has 1080i and 16:9 highlighted in red. Convergence Data for this mode is
stored in Location “P-6”.

The procedures to adjust the convergence in this mode are the same as those previously used in
the NTSC mode. The differences are in the storage location, which is P-6 and in the template grid
lines.

Screen Size Mode Grid line Color

56” 480P/480i Blue grid lines
56” 1080i 4:3 Mode Orange grid lines
56” 1080i 16:9 Mode Yellow grid Lines
61” 480P/480i Black grid lines
61” 1080i 4:3 Mode Magenta grid lines
61” 1080i 16:9 Mode Green grid lines

Start by setting the Static Convergence levels to zero, go into register mode, align the TEST POS
mode lines, complete the DATA and OSD Position adjustments, and then continue by adjusting
the Green, Red and Blue raster lines. As always, remember to save the data changes
periodically.

Copying and Restoring Data

After completing the convergence adjustments and saving the data values, it is a good idea to
backup the convergence data. This is done by pressing 8 on the remote control in the Fine
Convergence adjustment mode. A menu appears, prompting: COPY FROM? Scroll to it using
the CH Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons then press the Action. Another menu pops up,
prompting: COPY TO? Scroll to it using the CH Up/Down and Volume Up/Down buttons then
press Action. The copy process will then be complete. Copy the data from location P3 to location

23
P2 and copy from location P4 to P5. This copy process allows you to backup the data for 480i
and 1080i modes. In some situations you may be able to save time by restoring the 480i or 1080i
convergence data from one of the backup locations.

Exiting Serviceman Mode

After you have backed up the convergence data, press the Power button to exit. Press Power
repeatedly until the red CHK is displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Press and
hold the Action and Power buttons together on the front panel until the unit shuts down. The set
will turn itself back on automatically. The unit will be tuned to channel 3 and a diagnostic menu
will be displayed. Verify that all the items show OK.
