Set-up Adjustments
The following adjustments should be made when a complete realignment is required or a new picture
tube is installed.
Perform the adjustments in the following order:
1. Color purity
2. Convergence
3. White balance
Notes:
The purity/convergence magnet assembly and rubber wedges need mechanical positioning.
For some picture tubes, purity/ convergence adjustments are not required.

Before starting this adjustment, adjust the vertical sync, horizontal sync, vertical amplitude and
focus.
