From what I read of the notice linked to in my post, the exposed metal parts of the outside were prevalently mentioned. Perhaps one model is more plastic on the outside while another is more metallic. It seems to be based on a potential shock hazard if a lightning storm is present in your area...

All I know is what the link is saying. There are contact numbers there to call about such things, I believe. The only thing they can replace such things with would be newer versions of same, I would think. Equal or greater value, is usually the way it goes on such things. Mr Bob

Drives and cutoffs per each individual color are what control grayscale, sometimes also called gain and bias. Drives/gains control the strong, "white" light levels, cutoffs/biases/screen trimpots on the focus block control the dark information, the weak/low light levels. This is only for...

Yes, except that registers keep disappearing the SM's lineup, on the Mits's. Other than that, the only differences will be that the same thing might be found under another register number, model to model. They don't change their functions, tho. If you have trouble getting into the Defl. Jung...

Try Menu 2157, 2257 or 0357. Hit menu again to exit. No registers will be changed unless you tell them to be, in this menu. (Unlike the xx59 menu, where any changes you make get automatically saved once you exit the menu.) Mr Bob

What model number are we talking about?

There is no such thing as green convergence. There is green geometry, and there is red and blue convergence, either red or blue to green or blue to red, after red to green. Fortunately in your case, on the Mits's the red and blue follow the green just like they do in the expensive ceiling...

My brother lives near Sunset Blvd in LA. I believe that is West Hollywood? Somewhere near Santa Monica? I was just down there a couple weeks ago! Send me some contact info to my email address and I can look you up next time I'm down. Mr Bob

Jay - I have just had 2 inquiries from the Fresno area for calibrations. Is that anywhere near the San Fernando Valley? If you can find scenes that demo the differences and still have both the modified and unmodified LiteOns at your place there, try and take pix of them, as before and...

Right. The scanning of the relevant scanrate affects how the picture is drawn by the electron beam. Mr Bob

Jay - Thanks. I will take you up on that, if the opportunity presents itself. Mr Bob

Would insulated Mu metal be better shielding than copper or aluminum? My roomie exchanged my IDE cables for an ungrounded but well made, twisted-pair shielded version I mentioned earlier, and neither of us see any difference. Would anybody happen to have a set of scenes that...

True, but much more so on the older ones than the present ones. The warmup time is the main thing you have to allow for on today's units, as far as convergence goes. But back in the day, the Mits's would go horribly skewed when the APL changed. The worst example I can think of was On Golder...

Good advice. I use filters to get things close also. Hadn't thought of using the back panel for color isolation, tho. Much easier than continually removing the front screenframe! >>As a side note, dont try to do focus work while using the TV generated convergence grids, as the electronic...

57S700. And if you are looking between the 2, I would now give Hitachi the edge. Just the repair history alone would steer me away from ever owning a Toshiba RPTV, unless and until they come up with features far and away superior to anything they've ever had. Like maybe going to 9" guns on...

Right. Only the corrections for color and tint are in the xx57 menu. Such as blue isolation. And so used to be the color decoder alignment registers. Not very handy to have to exit the xx57 menu and go over to the xx59 menu to do a blue color isolation every time you want to do a color...

My primary gripe about Hitachi has always been that it does not allow a calibrator - or a DIYer - to fine tune the convergence using material sent in to the set, like the AVIA circlehatch grid, or even more important for final pass, the AVIA resolution pattern. We have always been limited to...

Whoa! You been busy! My compliments to the chef. Now if we could only get all the TV channels in the country - HD and nonHD - to use these, the term NTSC would no longer mean Never The Same Color... And every manufacturer... Yeah. I'm sure the manufacturers are not even using the...

Actually the Mits grayscale registers are global only on User Low, and on User High are local to the scanrate involved when in Service Mode. You will find the grayscale registers in SM for Low with an L at the end, and for High with an H at the end. I don't know if the unit in question had...

Actually the Mits grayscale registers are global only on User Low, and on User High are local to the scanrate involved when in Service Mode. You will find the grayscale registers for Low with an L at the end, and for High with an H at the end, in SM. Mit has had red push designed into their...

Send me a plane ticket and then ask me that. Mr Bob

The 480i has been recognized as not having the ringing that the 1080i has, and the 720p is way too soft - and ringified - for prime time. Still, the 480i MUST go thru your RPTV's line doubler, and for my money gets messed up by it even with the reduced ringing. Does on my Panny anyway, whose...

My round IDE cable has twisted pairs that are evident and visible at the ends, where all the internal wires are exposed for an inch or 2 before they go in to the round braid casing. Does this exposed wiring present any shielding problems that would defeat their improvement qualities? Other than...

The cable I got from pccables has no grounding lead. I was thinking of slicing the plastic coating just a little and prying one in under it, in the slit. Is this grounding lead I saw on other round cables pictured on this thread really important? Mr Bob

I agree. I made this same point earlier on in this same thread. Mr Bob

The things that go most often on DVDPs and CDPs are the lens getting dusty and the platter motor starting to fail. The best way to clean the lens is to get a Qtip wet with cleaning solution - I've used alcohol countless times on CDPs, but you may want to just use Windex - and rub it lightly...

>>The stock IDE cable runs directly AWAY from the PS. This means that IF the PS is sending out nasty interferance,(what PS doesn't?), the layout of the cable itself is magnifying the effect of that interferance. Being a computer guy, if you've ever had to run CAT5 cable, you know that you NEVER...
