Notes

A common problem with Sony's flat CRTs is horizontal bowing, especially near the bottom edge of the screen. This is usually caused by poor yoke alignment, and can be corrected. For more information, see the "Adjusting a Flat CRT Yoke" page.

The BA-5D chassis can easily be modded for RGB through the OSD mux method. This can be beneficial, as these TVs have edge enhancement features that can cause ghosting and color separation. Adding RGB can result in a noticeably cleaner picture.
