Notes
This set is known to have used two tube models. The M.T. model was made in the USA and is listed in the service manual, but the Thomson model from China is not.
This set employs velocity modulation that ruins pixel art. There are two ways to disable it:
- Unplug jumper from the yoke or
- Enter the service menu and set option "VSM GAIN" to 0.
After that, it is also advised to turn sharpness in the standard menu all the way down. Doing these steps will make it look much better.
RGB Mod
This set uses a Toshiba jungle IC that can be found in many other models, and it can easily be RGB modded. (Included game pics are of the RGB signal. It looks slightly cleaner than component.)
