Entertainment Center: TVs, Stereos, VCRs and DVDs - Mitsubishi TV CS35301 Problem

Hello everyone,

I have a Mitsubishi TV CS35301 and the picture seems to be at a slight counter clock wise angle. (Pic1)

Click on this link to see pictures:TV (http://www.bryansweb.com/tv.htm) Sorry, I did not know how to attach pics.

Can I fix this by just rotating the yoke on the tube some how?
Or will rotating the yoke cause me to do a Yoke alignment, which I don’t know how to do.

Also, the top and bottom of the edges of the screen seem to pull in when I use my MythTV Box or on some movies with the DVD player, but most of the time it looks good. (Pic2)

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

You should be ok with rotating the yoke,but I would mark the original location just in case.Sometimes the yoke is not secured good from the factory and over time may slip some.The convergence should still be set for the original location,so returning it to where the picture is straight again may even make the picture better.

If the bow in the picture does not happen when watching tv from cable or over the air,then it's just a compatability issue between the products.In the olden days vcrs would cause a wavy picture at the top of the screen on some model tvs.It's the same type thing happening.

I was surprised to find the yoke well secured to the tube with a brownish glue stuff, which I cut loose. (Which means it was wrong from the factory.) I then marked the current location on the tube with a permanent marker.

I then loosened the yoke hardware and turned the set on and rotated the yoke with a wooden stick till the screen was correct, about 1 degree counter clockwise. I then turned off the set and tightened the yoke hardware.

The screen’s upper left corner was not in perfect alignment before and about the same after moving the yoke. If any one has the yoke alignment procedures to align the screen, I would love to know how to do it.

Thanks,
Bryan
