SIGNAL ENTRY

For the next few steps you may want to attach the green lens just the top 2 screws so you can see the menus on the screen. This can be done without the lenses, but not everyone reads upside down and backwards.

Now turn on the PG, and the source signal, DVD...etc. While the projector is warming up you will want to delete any unused entries in the input list menu. I will not elaborate on this, as you should be at least familiar with the use of the remote and menu structure.

I should add at this point that it is best to make all the adjustments at the resolution that the projector will actually be primarily used at.

The purpose for deleting the old entries is to clean out old and corrupt data from the PG's Memory. Using, and building upon a bad entry will only make things worse, and defeat the purpose of these alignments. If you cannot get into the ADJUST menu and are presented with a password, no problem. The master password is 2580. “0” being the “10” key on the remote. Now go into the signal entry menu and delete all the old entries. Once done, create a new entry. Most likely it will be RGB, then name it. It will ask if you want to use an existing line, the default, or the temporary. Choose temporary. Once the PG locks and displays the input information screen, store the entry. Now you have something to begin with. Next go into the OPTION menu, and find the entry under POINT. You want to disable the point if you have it. The point board allows fine touch-up convergence and is standard in the “9” series and optional in the “6” series PG. It must be disabled prior to making any other adjustments.

ZERO SETTINGS

Now that you stored a first entry, we want to ZERO all the settings. Begin with static Convergence, and set all settings for all 3 guns to “0” and store that. Then move on to every other convergence adjustment and either ZERO the slider, or in some cases “50” for those like amplitude. The exception is the BLANKING menu. All the Blanking must be at 100. It is common sense, and pretty self evident when moving around the menus. Once all settings are ZERO'D or neutral, store the entry as “default” in the signal entry menu.

Important Note:  Do not zero the Kelvin (color temperature) settings unless you have the equipment and knowledge to redo your color balance from scratch.   If you zero your Kelvin settings, make sure to at least write down the original values first in case you make things worse!
