Yes, but if you're installing new tubes and doing a complete alignment and don't use P2, you may run into size, tilt and skew problems at other frequencies. P2 (31.5KHz) is only for alignment and is saved memory block 2 and you shouldn't be saving any other setup there anyway. If you're just using the basic frequencies used for HT, you may not run into a problem if you use a higher frequency for alignment, but for general overall use it will be. If you're talking about using a higher frequency for setting flare and astigmatism, then it doesn't make any difference since the G70 holds the flare and stig settings for each input frequency in it's own memory block, so that would be set different for each different source frequency. So in the end, if you use P3, the flare and stig it will be saved in P3's memory block anyway. This is one of the reasons some people have so many problems setting up the G70 in the first place. The other reason is that they don't understand what's happening when an external source is applied when it's not supposed to be and wind up saving it in P2's (or P3 if they used that) memory block. EXTERNAL SOURCES SHOULD ONLY BE SAVED IN THE MEMORY BLOCKS ABOVE 10 (which they will be automatically, if memory block 1-10 were all saved with the basic setup or setup page by page with the factory frequencies).

I am really trying to wrap my head around this.
Once I do my basic setup with int osc 2 and save, then save as the standard for all inputs, get into the super secret memory menu and I see the:
LOAD 2
SAVE 2

How do I save the basic setup tho the 9 other of the first 10 memory blocks so that when I apply my sources all coming from a scaler at 1080i I can save it in memory slot 11 or whatever number for that matter. Do I do this:
LOAD 2
SAVE 3

LOAD 2
SAVE 4

LOAD 2
SAVE 5

etc. etc.?

And when I'm in the service menu do I first pick the next INT OSC like P3 and then save the data??? I mean how do I make the G70 think I've done a setup for each frequency? Or since I am only ever going to feed it one frequency do I just leave send the pj a signal from the scaler, recalibrate at that frequency save the data and I'm good to go.

I'm kinda leary to go all nilly willy loading and saving stuff for fear of messin up the original basic setup. I mean its just a few hours of messing around with the remote in a dark room but it's still kind of a pain. I know a bunch of folks here have already sorted this out and there are many threads about this. Maybe it's a no brainer, but I'm stumped.

And what about that color and brightness uniformity setting? Off for both, yes?

I'm going to bed. Brain hurts Twisted Evil But we're almost there. I know we will be watching movies again soon. I am looking forward to doing Kal's greyscale soon. Tearing up HTs and rebuilding them is a riot.

I don't think so. Sad Either it "just works," or it drives you insane.

The LOAD/SAVE steps you described just copy the same setup into all those memories. How the G70 decides on which memory to use was always a mystery to me. Mine seemed to pick a different memory almost every time I powered it up.
