color problem scramble

[Blanbek]

Hello,

I started a new project and am having a color problem on the bottom left of the screen ?

the screen is a Sony Trinitron....

someone has an idea or has encountered the same problem?

Thanks!! Berny

Yup.....you cant use a Trinitron on its side.

Looks like a decaussing issue.

interesting, i never knew the "trinitron on its side thing"

Guess we learn something every day

Thank you for the information André.
So I will try with one another tv screen...

Still can use it in horizontaal mode

It's the Aperture grill causing this.....its a bit like a curtain and because it moves when you tilt it you will get this result....

You could still try a degauss of course, it's worth it but I don't think that is the problem this time.

You can still use the Trinitron in horizontal mode of course....

Well, I'm using a Trinitron inside my galaxian cabinet, but the screen is more in a flat position than vertical, that certainly explains why I don't have this issue...interesting and good to know anyway

Hi André,

I confirm with a Sanyo tv it works correctly...

one more question

there is a Sanyo service menu to adjust the picture? or does it make the setting on the tv pcb?

Thanks, Berny

You'll hardly find anyone knowing the inside of a certain tv as there are thousand different models out there. A quick google search will give you the answer in a sec.
If there's no service menu then take a look on the chassis. Most tvs will have a least a few pots to adjust the picture but only a small number will have all the settings known from arcade monitors. Most tvs will have h-width coils like the older arcade monitors.

Judging by the case of that TV i'm pretty sure it will have an electronic (menu-driven) set-up.

Indeed google is your best (only ?) friend here...

Hello André,

I found your first sequence for the set-up menu but not work ? so I made a small adjustment with the potentiometers on the  pcb... But not perfect...
I will try with your sequence 2

Thanks!

No idea If it works for this model, it might be for US TVs....
