I've been tweaking on my 808 since I got a bluray drive (nothing like good content to force a better setup Razz ) and have noticed a highlight on dark-to-light transitions on the red tube.

I've checked the source: Green doesn't have the problem at all, but if I run green into the red input, the problem still exists. So the issue is after the input stage at the PJ.

I dug around on teh intarnets and found mention of an issue with the 1208 wherein a certain component would go, causing highlighting, dark-ish vertical banding on the left side, and a slight nonlinearity on the left side. I seem to have those things to some extent, but I'm not sure whether it's enough to suggest that that's the problem.

Ideas? Thanks!

that is ringing of some sorts, may be a problem in the signal chain inside or outside the PJ, could be anywhere sad to say Sad

check your cables/outside the PJ first, switch around and see if the problem moves

it could very well be what you found on the 1208 issue

Like I said, I checked the signal by swapping R and G cables. Problem stays with tube rather than moving with cable, so it's internal to the PJ somewhere.

Turned off 'peaking'. Bright edge gone - it's perfect now.

Increased porches in power strip - vertical banding on left of image gone.

That was a productive 15 minutes of CRT tweaking!

I was about to say that it's peaking problem, but you figured it out yourself.
That peaking setting should be always off.

There is still quite much off peaking in circuit, not sure why they use those pF caps to all over boards...
I gues that's part of that "120MHz" thing. Rolling Eyes (how to get 120MHz out of 80MHz chip.)

I should have said that as well, it was my first thought but figured you had turned that off already

Barcos can have some nasty peaking if you want it
