Notes

This TV does not completely disable velocity modulation

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.

Like the other BA-6 chassis Trinitrons, this TV uses a one-chip design and cannot be modified to accept RGB. However, its component video quality is very clean and there is little to be gained by doing so.

Disabling Velocity Modulation

Most of Sony's flat Trinitrons contain a velocity modulation circuit. VM enhances dark outlines on screen, which helps hide composite dot crawl and can make TV and movies look better. However, it ruins pixel art and significantly degrades the appearance of 2D games.

In this model, turning off VM in the user menu does not completely disable it. To address this problem, go to the service menu and set "VMOF" to zero.
