When using a video mode that is not one of the 10 factory preset modes,

some fine tuning may be required to optimize the display to your

preferences. Simply adjust the display according to the adjustment

instructions. The adjustments will be stored automatically and recalled

whenever that mode is used.

A total of 10 user-defined modes can be stored in memory. If an 11th

Damper wire

Using a white background, very thin horizontal lines on the screen are

visible as shown below. These lines are the damper wires.

The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped Aperture Grille inside. The

Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving

the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.

The damper wires are attached to the Aperture Grille to prevent

vibration of the Aperture Grille wire so that the screen image is

constantly stable.
