Marquee Anamorphic Mods |
|
|
|
The anamorphic mod is required on most Marquees to extend the range of the
vertical size adjustment to allow for shorter raster heights needed for 16:9 DVDs
and correct geometry for HDTV. The mods fall into two categories depending on the
version of rear heat sink in a particular chassis; hinged rear heat sinks found on
newer units, and fixed rear heat sinks found on early Marquees. |

For Hinged Rear Heat Sinks |
|
|
|
On newer Marquees, the Vertical Deflection Module is located on the
rear heat sink behind the blue CRT (see PIC 1). The mod requires a
phillips screwdriver, soldering tools, and three 56k ohms, 1/4w, 5%
resistors. Remove the Marquee's top gray metal covers and remove four
phillips screws across the top of the rear heat sink, which should
permit you to open the rear heat sink on its' hinge; do not allow the
yoke wires to be pulled or stressed. Locate R704, R804, and R904 on the
vertical board, they are close to the yoke molex pins and should be marked
orange, black, orange to denote 30k ohms. Remove these three resistors
(see PIC 2), this can usually be done without pulling the board from the
heat sink. Take care not to damage the foil traces of the PC board. Form
he 56k resistors into U shapes with short leads (see PIC 3), and solder
them into the places where the 30k ohm resistors were located (see PIC 4).
Reassemble the unit with covers, and power up the unit. Next, go into UTIL,
9 and enter the passcode 0901 for the Service menu, select 3, and match red
and blue raster heights to green so as to place the least load on dynamic
convergence. Touch up geometry and convergence as needed and the mod is
complete. |

For Fixed Mount Rear Heat Sinks |
|
|
|
Older Marquees employed vertical boards mounted with screws, no hinges.
Remove covers as before, and pull the vertical board from the chassis
(see PIC 5). Locate R41, R47 and R52, they are 10k ohm resistors located
near IC U7 and are marked brown, black, orange to denote 10k ohms, but need
to be around 8200 ohms. The technician can either replace the three resistors
with 8200 ohm, 1/4 watt, 5% or bridge them with 47k or 50k resistors to
achieve the same effect. We have elected to bridge R47 (see PIC 6) with a 47k
ohm resistor (see PIC 7 and PIC 8); after bridging or replacing all three
resistors remember to match raster heights in the Service menu. |
