Convergence

<< Back to Samsung Tips

Tip by Mitchell Weatherly

I have a Samsung HCJ552W (a 55" widescreen, HDTV-ready RPTV), and I have a "tip" that is closely related to your posted tip about the service menu.

Normally, my set permits convergence only by aligning a cross-hair pattern in the center of the screen. Unfortunately, converging the center of the screen does not work for the entire screen, and the set does not have any type of "automated" convergence routine.

To enter the full-blown convergence mode, one must press mute (with power on or off) and then press 183. A convergence grid appears on screen and the remote control permits the user to adjust convergence on any particular intersection in the grid. I cannot remember off the top of my head what all the buttons on the remote do in this mode, but the service manual does have a "map" of the remote buttons when used in this convergence mode. If necessary, I could provide more info about this map because I have used the remote for convergence many times.

When in convergence mode, pressing the "1" button on the remote causes the convergence settings to revert to factory "zero" (i.e., no convergence compensation), pressing the "2" button causes the convergence settings to revert to the factory default (terrible settings on my TV), and pressing "3" causes the convergence settings to revert to the previously saved settings. Also, saving the settings requires pressing the "Add/Erase" button under the sliding cover on the bottom half of the remote. I can't provide any more than that in the time I've got, but these "keys" will help."
