Notes

The user menu includes a tilt control. To have a warmer color temperature closer to reference 6500K, in the service menu section VP2, set DCOL to 0 (instead of 1).

Please note that due to a different M board design and jungle chip, the RGB mod procedure for the 27" BA-5 Trinitrons doesn't apply.

Composite 240p Performance

by Eli Krause

For composite decoding this set uses a Toshiba TC90A49P, a 3-line digital comb filter. Depending on the console/revision, dot artifacting ranges from slight to severe, and blending effects may be broken. If the set has an s-video or component YPbPr input, then using a good external notch filter to decode composite instead and sending that to the set would blend all dithering patterns and avoid nearly all dot artifacts (full guide here).
