Jitter, Raster Only or Retrace Lines
(ARCS, PIXC, PIXI, PIXJ, PIXL)
PIXL, PIXI, PIXJ, PICC or ARCS CRT Causes
Four causes may produce above symptoms and all are related to current flow between electron gun elements.
1. Internal Arcing (Popping sound)
Cause:
Current discharge from a high voltage potential to ground or to low voltage potential.
Arcing can occur when foreign particles as small as 2mm are present in the CRT gun. Factors for arcing are:
voltage potential differences between the electrodes; distances between the electrodes; shape, size and
location of the particles.

12/5/03 CTR01.6-2 FIGURE 6-2
Occasionally, arcing occurs between the cathodes, causing emission problems.
2. Stray Electrons
Cause:
As a result of cold emissions, electrons flow from
a lower electric potential of the gun to a higher
potential of the gun in areas that they would not
otherwise normally flow.
Cold Emission occurs when an electron flow is
induced by a strong electric field between two
parallel electrodes.

Electric Field : F

6. Arcing, No Color, I ntermittent Picture, J itter, Raster Only or Retrace Lines
3. External Leaks
Cause:
These leaks occur between the CRT pins on the CRT socket and are caused by external contamination on
the socket between the pins or by insufficient RTV.
Solution:
Clean socket and apply RTV compound in areas shown.
4. Shorts
Cause:
A complete short between two grids. It may be internal, usually caused by physical damage or mishandling;
or external, caused by contamination or shorted wires.
Collateral Damage Caused by Arcing
Semiconductor Damage
Arcing can damage semiconductors.
Surface Burn Spots
When stray electrons occur in the neck area, areas of the screen can remain illuminated after deflection has
ceased and cause CRT burn marks.
Focus Shift
A resistor divider normally supplies G4 voltage. When stray current flow occurs, the excessive current flow
through the resistor can change its value, causing focus changes.
Brightness and White Balance Changes
On some units a resistor divider supplies G2 voltage. When stray current flows from G2, the excessive current
flow through resistor can change its value, causing brightness level changes on direct view units and white
balance changes on projection units.
On some units, this can also occur from G1, with similar results.
Horizontal Static Misconvergence (HME)
Stray current from G1, G2 and G4 or from the internal CRT wall may hit the C plate and flow through the IBRs C
terminal, causing a potential change on this terminal and horizontal static misconvergence.
IBR Resistance Change
Stray electrons flowing through the IBR and ions bombarding the IBR directly can cause a temperature
rise in the IBR, changing its value. This causes the horizontal static convergence to gradually shift with
use.

7. Convergence / Beam Landing Troubleshooting (PI XD, PI XW)
Chapter 7 - Convergence / Beam Landing
Troubleshooting (PIXD, PIXW)
Overview
Incorrect colors can be caused either by 1) incorrect beam landing (purity) that is one or more beams do land
on their respective color phosphor stripe, or by 2) incorrect convergence that is the R, G, B beams are not
superimposed over each other.
Identifying Convergence / Beam Landing Problems
Beam Landing
Poor beam landing is visible as a discoloration whenever there
is a raster on the screen. In can be of any size and in any location
on the screen. An example is shown in figure 7-1.
FIGURE 7-1
Convergence
The three beams produced by the CRT electron gun must be
superimposed and converge on the same spot on the CRT face.
A poorly converged unit will have discolorations at either
horizontal or vertical areas of the picture. It will not occur in solid parts of the picture. An example of poor
horizontal and vertical convergence is shown in Figure 7-2.
FIGURE 7-2
12/5/03 CTR01.7-2
CRT Caused
H-static Drift
The most common cause of color convergence problems attributable to the CRT is h-static drift caused by a
change of the IBR resistor value. This occurs after a unit has been placed in service.
Stray current inside the electron gun, or arcing, can change the IBR resistor value. If this occurred, H-static in the
center of the CRT will still be adjustable. The drift may stabilize after a period and further adjustment or CRT
replacement may not be necessary.
15
7. Convergence / Beam Landing Troubleshooting (PI XD, PI XW)
Aging
Slight convergence drifts due to aging if the CRT may cause slight convergence drifts. The drift may be small and
within tolerances, or may be large.
Magnetization
External environmental magnetization can magnetize the CRT over time so and create a purity problem.
Customer Dissatisfaction
The unit may be within acceptable limits but the customer may not be satisfied. This issue is more subjective
than an actual problem and may require customer counseling, circuit touchups, or Sony Customer Service
intervention.
Solutions
1. In all instances, fine adjustments to the CRT and circuits are the first steps to take to satisfy the
customer.
When appropriate, steps should include, external degaussing, circuit adjustments, DY ring adjustments,
CRT magnet replacements, and permalloy strip replacements.
2. Replace the deflection yoke if step 1 does not yield satisfactory results. It usually has the same effect
as replacing the CRT.
3. Replace the CRT if steps 1 and 2 do not yield satisfactory results. Consult with your Sony Technical
representative before replacing a CRT if the unit is within acceptable limits and the customer is still
dissatisfied.
CRT Aperture Grill
An aperture grill that has shifted off its frame causes the symptom shown
in Figure 7-3. The unit being dropped usually causes this. Check for
other physical damage to unit or packaging to confirm. Replace the CRT.
FIGURE 7-3
12/5/03 CTR01.7-3
Non CRT Caused
Beam Landing (Purity M/L)
The beam landing discolorations are usually caused by either a
magnetized CRT aperture grill or by external magnetic forces near
the CRT that affects the CRT beam. The most common external items
are:
Set Stand
If the set is on an iron or steel stand, take it off the stand. Discoloration
will usually occur on the bottom of the screen. See Figure 7-4.
If M/L disappears, inform customer of the need to change stand. If
home service, add B/L magnet.
If still M/L still exists, take off existing landing magnets on the
effected corner and add new magnets to improve landing. Check
landing, see Note 2.
Set Location
Check If set is on the floor or near building beams/posts. Move set to
different location and recheck.
If M/L disappears, inform customer to change location of set. If
home service, add magnet.
FIGURE 7-4
FIGURE 7-5
16
7. Convergence / Beam Landing Troubleshooting (PI XD, PI XW)
If M/L still exists, take off existing landing magnets on the effected
corner. Add new magnets to improve landing.
DY Adjustment
Adjust 2-pole purity ring magnets on DY slightly.
DY Position
Check for loose DY, especially If M/L is extreme and concentrated on
the right/left sides rather than at corners. See Figure 7-6. If DY is
loose, slide DY forward or backward to improve landing and tighten.
see Note 2.
Degauss Circuit
See Figures 7-7 and 7-8.
Switch unit off for 15 minutes (minimum). Turn on again and check if
degauss is working by sound and vibration. If not working, repair
degauss circuit (Check connector).
Weak L/D Magnets
These can occur in any screen edge or corner. See Figure 7-8.
Remove L/D magnets and replace with new one on the effected corner.
Readjust.

Table 7-1H Convergence Adjustments
Note 1: CRT Beam Landing adjustment tool (9-948-310-60) works effectively for Landing adjustment.
Note 2: Landing adjustment and inspection direction
Adjustment Direction: Face unit in an east or west direction (this creates a stronger geo-magnetic effect on the
CRT)
Check Unit Direction: Set should turn to North and South, then degauss and check landing.
A minimum check of three directions is needed (east or west, and north and south).

8. Geometric Distortion (PI XD, PI XW)
Chapter 8 - Geometric Distortion (PIXD, PIXW)
Overview
In simple terms, geometric distortion causes straight lines appear angled, crooked, bent, too short, or too long
The most common causes geometric distortion are slight drifts caused by aging, fine circuit adjustment drift and
customer dissatisfaction with acceptable limits.
1. In both instances, fine adjustments to the geometric control circuits are the first steps to take to satisfy the
customer.
2. Readjust the DY tilt slightly
3. Replace the deflection yoke if step 1 does not yield satisfactory results. It usually has the same effect as
replacing the CRT.
4. Replace the CRT if steps 1, 2 and 3 do not yield satisfactory results. But note: geometric distortion is not
likely to be caused by a CRT.
Adjustments
Table 8-1 shows the most common generic geometric distortions and what to adjust to correct the distortion.
PROBLEM CHECK ITEMS COUNTERMEASURE
CORNER BEND
L/D magnet position is too
close to DY.
Take the magnet off, then readjust. The best position is around DY on the CRT carbon
coating edge. Check visual L/D.
DY DY
If the corner still bends, adjust the data register for Corner Pin.
Check Permalloy Quantity
Take off Permally and readjust. Check the Convergence again.
PATTERN KINK
Check Bus data
Adjust DY up and down to improve. Touch up Y Axis magnet to share top, middle and
bottom.
V-PIN
Check if DY is down. Pull up DY to improve
Y Axis Correction Magnet
Adjust data register for Trapezoid. V-TRAPEZOID
Bus Data
Adjust data register for Corner Bend.
Bus Data
DY Swing
Adjust data register for H-Trapezoid. Move DY left and right, then fix the DY wedge.
H-TRAPEZOID
TLV VR on the DY (H-Trap) Adjust the TLV VR a little bit. Last option.
TILT
Picture Tilt
Adjust Manual Picture Rotation Menu (Circuit).
If it is still tilted, readjust DY the tilt. (Before adjustment, the rotation menu should be
set to 0.)

9. Focus Troubleshooting (PI XF)
Chapter 9 - Focus Troubleshooting (PIXF)
Overview
Figure 9-1 shows two examples of a focused CRT and two of an unfocused CRT. The focused examples are on
the left and the unfocused ones are on the right.
FIGURE 9-1
CRT Causes
Internal Current leakage
Check for a blue glow in the CRT neck assy. If present, it indicates a current leak within the CRT gun. See figure
9-2.
If a blue glow is not present initially, allow the unit to warm up for about 6 hours then recheck. Current leakage
can develop with time.
FIGURE 9-2
31
9. Focus Troubleshooting (PI XF)
External Current leakage
Leakage between the CRT pins on the socket
base due to dirt or insufficient RTV material.
Remove the C board, clean the CRT base and
the CRT socket, and reapply RTV material to
the area shown in Figure 9-3.
Non CRT Causes

The focus control on FBT affects the entire screen.
Adjust for best center focus with the focus control of the FBT; then correct the side focus with the focus
phase control (next paragraph).
Focus Phase Control
The focus phase control (data bus) has a greater effect on the sides of the screen than on the center.
Adjust for best focus on both sides of the screen with the focus phase control; then compensate at the
center of the screen with the focus control (previous paragraph).
G2 and RGB Drive Levels
Excessive G2/drive levels will cause red beam flare at peak saturation
which appears as poor focus.
FIGURE 9-3
FIGURE 9-4
G4 Level
Poor focus can be caused by an incorrect G4 voltage level. G4 voltage
is normally supplied by a resistor divider and this divider may change in
value; either spontaneously, or due to overheating caused by stray
current flow inside the CRT.
Set-up Levels (data bus)
Incorrect level setups can cause peak overdrive levels and blooming which can give the appearance of an out of
focus CRT.

Chapter 10 - Convergence Supplemental Information
Process
A three-step process is used to adjust convergence:
1. Center adjustments
2. X and Y axis adjustments
3. Corner adjustments
The locations of these steps are shown in Figure 10-1.

Adjustment Steps
FIGURE 10-1 - CONVERGENCE STEPS
Note: To minimize interactions with each other, set all VRs and magnets to zero or null positions before starting.
Center Adjustments
V-Stat Adjustment
With H-Stat separated, adjust the 4-pole ring magnet to align the blue and red spots in the horizontal axis. This
is done by either spreading apart or bringing together the two handles on the magnet.
FIGURES 10-2 A & B
33
10. Convergence Supplemental I nformation
Rotate both 6-pole magnet rings together as a unit to align the red and blue (together) to the green in the
horizontal axis.
FIGURES 10-3 A & B
H-Stat Adjustment
Separate or bring together the 6-pole magnet rings so that the blue and red spots are equal distance from the
green.
FIGURES 10-4 A & B
Adjust the H-Stat control on the C board to bring the red and blue spots in line with the green.

Y Axis Adjustments
These adjustments converge the center part of the screen,
vertically, from top to bottom. See Figure 10-6.
TLV Reactor Adjustment
Separate the dots (again) with the TLV reactor control on the DY, and adjust the LTV reactor to converge the red
and blue dots at the top and the bottom of the screen. See Figure 10-7a. The location of the reactors is shown
in Figure 10-7b.
FIGURE 10-6 - Y-AXIS
FIGURES 10-6 A & B = LTV REACTOR FUNCTION & LOCATION
APV or VCR Adjustment
Ideally, all three color dots should line up in the horizontal axis from the top
to the bottom of the screen. If the screen looks like Figure 10-8, make
corrections by rotating both 6-pole magnet rings together as a unit. Touch
ups with the 4-pole ring magnets may be necessary as the rings interact
with each other. Priority must be given to the center areas.

10. Convergence Supplemental I nformation
Y-Bow Adjustment
There are two adjustment methods when the red or blue are bowed
but line up on the same side of the green in the vertical plane.
See Figure 10-9.
Use the YBWU and YBWL bus service mode registers on
units that have these registers. Many units do not have
these registers.
On models without the YBWU and YBWL registers, make
corrections with the H-STAT control.
FIGURE 10-10
Y-Cross Adjustment
There are three adjustment methods when the red or blue shift their positions from
the green as you go from the top towards the bottom of the screen. See Figure 10-
10.
Use the YBWU and YBWL bus service mode registers on units that have
these registers. Many units do not have these registers.
Tilt the DY up and down.
YCH Reactor.

X Axis Adjustments
These adjustments converge the center horizontal part of the
screen, from the left to the right of the screen. See Figure
10-11.

10. Convergence Supplemental I nformation
APH adjustment
There are three adjustment methods when the red and
green misconverge but are on the same side of the green
at both sides of the screen. See Figure 10-12.
Use the RSAP and LSAP bus service mode
registers on units that have these registers.
Use the 6-pole magnets.
Move the neck assembly slightly forward or back.

FIGURE 10-12
TLH adjustment
There are two adjustment methods in cases where the red and green misconverge in opposite directions on both
sides of the screen:
TLH plate on the side of the DY (slide TLH plate in or out to make changes). Inserting the TLH plate in an
opposite side will make it move the red and blue in an opposite direction.
Some models have bus service mode registers RSAP and LSAP.
FIGURES 10-13A & B - TLH PLATE FUNCTION & LOCATION
XCV Adjustment
For models with reactor controls, turn the control wheel to
correct convergence keystone. Figure 10-7b shows the
XCV reactor location. In convergence keystone, the red
and blue dots cross vertical positions from side to side.
See Figure 10-14

FIGURE 10-14

XBV Adjustment
Convergence bowing can only be corrected with the
with the 4-pole ring magnets. In convergence bowing,
the red and blue dots vary in their vertical position with
respect to each other when scanned across the screen,
but are always on the same side of each other. See
Figure 10-15.

FIGURE 10-15
Corner Adjustments
Identify the corner with the convergence problem and insert permalloy strips behind the DY in the area
corresponding to the convergence problem.
Vary the position and depth of the strip until the mis-convergence is minimized.
Several permalloy strips may be required in the same location.
