I hate to start out this request this way, but..is there any harder brand to
converge than Hitachi? With all those dotted lines and "s" curves between
adjustment points is ridicules. And the numbers they chose to move the
dotted lines: 2, 4, 5, 6 . There is no rhyme or reason. Also using that
stupid thumbwheel to move is terrible especially if the wheel is a little
worn. I hate them. My God, every other digital alignment on all other brands
is usually straight forward, NO DOTTED LINES FLASHING!! And your eyesight is
preserved. My question is How do you save the convergence alignment with
this model 50DX10B. It has the Digital Array button on front not Magic
Focus. I have never seen this digital array, I have done many with the Magic
Focus, no problem. They changed it up on this one. The Manual says to Hit
PIP button once to see Rom Write? on screen then Hit PIP again to save, the
screen should go to green dots. Then you can initialize the sensors and save
that data. Mine just goes to a center crosshatch and doesn't save anything
when I press PIP. I spent 3 hours twice now trying to save my work. I had
the convergence board rebuilt by PTS and for some reason they completely
realigned it, Why, I don't know. I wish someone could explain why PTS makes
more work for us like that. They even sent a piece of paper in the box that
said you have to do a complete full convergence after receiving the board
back. Seems they would send a little cheat sheet in the box as to how if
they are going to fool with the adjustments. I know the IC's and some
resistors were burnt, but..I have never seen having to do a complete full
alignment after replacing those. I wish PTS wouldn't do that! Sorry for the
moaning, but after losing my data so may times after hours, I am frustrated
with this crazy design. I am surprised no one else complains about this.
