The green gun is
used for template, do not adjust this gun unless you want to adjust geometry. In most
cases you want to only adjust the red and the blue guns to be on top of the green. This is
called doing convergence.
Use the RGBS keys

and then check other modes for convergence errors. Touch up any mode you wish to using the
above instructions. What ever mode you are in when you enter the service mode, will be the
mode you will be adjusting.
Do not use the

If you would like
to reteach the Flash Focus, select the 480i / p mode and full and enter the service mode.
Go to the PJE menu
and press Flash Focus on the display. FF must be done in a darkened environment.
If you get an
error, turn the set off. Your FF has a problem and you will need to consult a service
manual. The error will not misalign your current convergence settings so don’t worry
about the error.
It is always best
to not use the flash focus and do to manual convergence when ever possible.
