LG 30FS4D - 32FS4D-UC – Color TV - Convergence adjustment

Television system American TV Standard, NTSC-M, Integrated ATSC tuner, 64 & 256 QAM - How to adjust the convergence.
Never operate the set over 10 minutes with a still picture because it may cause screen burn.  Follow these 20 steps very carefully
Convergence Adjustment
[This procedure DOES NOT apply to bonded yoke and picture tube assemblies. Do not use screen magnets during this adjustment procedure. Use of screen magnets will cause an incorrect display.]
1. Remove AC power and disconnect the internal degaussing coil.
2. Apply AC Power and set the brightness to the Picture Reset condition. Set the Color control to minimum.
3. Make horizontal line.
4. Adjust the Red, Green and Blue Bias controls to get a dim white line.

5. Restore the screen by removing the horizontal line.
6. Reconnect the internal degaussing coil and apply AC power.
7. Turn the receiver on for 10 seconds to perform internal degaussing and then turn the receiver off again.
8. Unplug the internal degaussing-coil.
9. Turn the receiver on, connect a signal generator to the VHF antenna terminal and apply a crosshatch signal.
[During the convergence adjustment procedure, be very careful not to disturb the purity adjustment tabs.  Purity should be confirmed before proceeding with the convergence adjustments.]
Note: Make sure the focus is set correctly on this instrument before proceeding with the following adjustment.
10. Converge the red and blue vertical lines to the green vertical line at the center of the screen by performing the following steps (below TABLE).
a. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 4-pole ring magnet simultaneously in opposite directions from the 12 o'clock position to converge the red and blue vertical lines.
b. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 6-pole ring magnet simultaneously in opposite directions form the 12 o'clock position to converge the red and blue (now purple) vertical lines with the green vertical line.
11. Converge the red and blue horizontal with the green line at the center of the screen by performing the following steps. (below TABLE)
a. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 4-pole ring magnet simultaneously in the same direction (keep the spacing between the two tabs the same) to converge the red and blue horizontal lines.
b. Carefully rotate both tabs of the 6-pole ring magnet simultaneously in same direction (keep the spacing between the two tabs the same) to converge the red and blue (now purple) horizontal lines with the green horizontal line.
c. Secure the tabs previously adjusted by locking them in place with the locking tabs on the beam bender.
12. While watching the 6 o'clock positions on the screen, rock the front of the yoke in a vertical (up/down) direction to converge the red and blue vertical lines. (Fig upper left)
13. Temporarily place a rubber wedge at the 12 o'clock position to hold the vertical position or the yoke.
14. Check the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock areas to confirm that the red and blue horizontal lines are converged.  If the lines are not converged, slightly offset the vertical tilt of the yoke (move the rubber wedge if necessary) to equally balance the convergence error of the horizontal lines at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock and the vertical lines at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock.
15. Place a 1.5 inch piece of glass tape over the rubber foot at the rear of the 12 o'clock wedge.
16. While watching the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock areas of the screen, rock the front of the yoke in the horizontal (left to right) motion to converge the red and blue horizontal lines. (Fig. upper right)
17. Temporarily place a rubber wedge at the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions to hold the horizontal position of the yoke.
18. Check the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock areas to confirm that the red and blue vertical lines are converged. If the lines are not converged, slightly offset the horizontal tilt of the yoke (move the temporary rubber wedges if necessary) to equally balance the convergence error of the horizontal lines at 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock and the vertical lines at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock.
19. Using a round magnet confirm purity at the center, right and left sides and corners. See Purity Adjustment Procedure.
20. Reconfirm convergence and apply a 1.5 inch piece of glass tape over the rubber foot at the rear of the 5 o'clock and the 7 o'clock wedges.
