I'm asking this question because we're really starting to do some more work on the HITACHI Digital Convergence systems, and I've had this problem occur on the last 3 units I've serviced. Hitachi EXPERTS....I need YOUR INPUT. Have you ever had the Hitachi PTVs causing REALLY BAD alignment problems AFTER replacing the Convergence IC's?? Does the Hitachi TV require "Hitachi-Only" Convergence AMPs? I tell you what.....it's bad enough to do minor touch-up....but when the top or bottom lines >>ALWAYS<< seem to be the failure point on Hitachi's.....that's when you start wondering if you should switch from MCM/Tritronics "Standard" STK392-110's to "Hitachi-Only" Amps (which by the way...are available FROM Tritronics....or so my boss says...) Now if you want to know the symptoms....the Top OR BOTTOM lines "seem" to Pop way out of adjustment, [[you're adjusting it....it "smoothly" is approaching the point of alignment....it's getting closer, and closer....closer.....POP! IT's 6 inches past the point of alignment....and distorting.]] Using the "centering magnets" to re-center the offending color doesn't seem to help. The problem is always around the corners, normally the top/bottom lines cannot be properly adjusted....I don't remember if the left/right lines have ever had this situation occur, since I have only serviced 3.....yes 3 Hitachi PTVs in 2 years!! That's why I need input from the Hitachi EXPERTS! TIA, and I really mean TIA Damon B Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne IN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Email List is accessible to the general public through search engines.
