Notes

The glass panel can be removed for cleaning. To do this, slide the upper two metal clips towards the center of the screen. This can take some force, so it's best to use a tool that won't scratch the finish such as a wooden chopstick or ruler.

The "auto color" feature can be activated with a button on the top control panel. This sets chroma (color) and phase (tint) to preset levels that were considered optimal by the manufacturer.

Digital RGB inputs were featured on a number of TVs during the 1980s, and were meant for use with early microcomputers. This is TTL level RGBI with a maximum of 16 colors, and cannot be used with game consoles. While some TVs do convert this signal internally to standard video levels and can be modified to accept analog RGB, this model does not.

This TV uses an 8 pin EIAJ connector for RGB input. The pinout typically used for these is:

1. Intensity
2. Red
3. Green
4. Blue
5. Ground
6. Ground
7. H Sync
8. V sync
