I need help getting the red closer to the green horizontally. Everything is rest to 128, I feel i am square to the screen and level, internal freq is set to P2 (whatever that means). I am running out of adjustment before red ever gets close. Using the red size adjustment i have movement just not enough. Since taking this picture I have turned the defelection yoke to align on the vertical better, but red is still too high compared to green. Any clues? This is my first attempt at a g70 setup so I am probably screwing up somewhere. I have read everything I can find and even have the dvd- but I've hit a wall. help

did you read brian hampton's adapted guide for G70 setup? It gets its roots in the NEC setup, but it definitely helped me setup the G70 that I had.

Have you done mechanical alignment at all? If not, you need to go back and study the manual, and follow the setup in order... If mechanical setup is correct, you should be able to center the red and blue crosshairs on green all on 128.

If you are ceiling mounted, put a torpedo level on the base of the PJ and adjust your mount until it is level. Make sure the unit is perpendicular to and centered side to side on the screen. Make sure all electronic adj. are neutral. Put up crosshair pattern and adjust (loosen the two screws on the clamp and turn the yoke around the neck of the green tube until the horizontal line is horizontal. Don't worry about the vertical line yet. Do the same for red and blue. Most everything you need to know is in the manual or G70 setup found on Curt's site.

There are quite a few G70 owners who are members of this site who are very helpful. Take your time doing the mechanical setup and find an assistant to help with the tape measure stuff the rest will go much easier. Post questions you may have on this thread and someone will answer. Good Luck.

Going to start from scratch tomorrow. The projector is setting on a big plywood table in my mancave, the table may not be as level as I thought, going to build a sturdy cart.

I just found the Brian Hampton document- looks like good stuff. Thanks for the info guys, I just need to bang my head against this thing for a while- I'll get there.

Toooo hot today I think my brain is melted.

One thing I noticed when setting up my G90 is that the Vertical Scheimpflug adjustment will cause the image to shift Up/Dn and Horizontal Scheimpflug will affect Left/Right. Not that you want to use that adjustment to align anything but be sure you have Scheimpflug dialed in first before you get picky about raster positioning.

I think it's better to center the cross hatch on the fosfor area than to just put it on 128.
Then do the mecanical alignment to put all three together Smile

The one early thing to do with scheimpflug is make sure the green lens plate is neutral (parallel with the front of the projector) With electronic adjustments set at 128, a proper mech. setup will put the intersection at the center of the screen.
