HORIZONTAL RASTER WIDTH CONTROL CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION.
The purpose of the horizontal width control is to:
1.Provide a convenient means for adjusting the horizontal raster size.
2.Correct pincushion distortion in the vertical axis.
3.Correct horizontal raster distortion caused by periods of high beam current.
The horizontal width control circuit is comprised of two main parts; The control circuit and the diode modulator (DM). The control circuit combines four signals in the monitor to produce the width control circuit. These signals are:

to produce a saw tooth waveform. See waveform block TP 39. By connecting one input of the comparator, in the LM392 049 , to this sawtooth signal and the other input to the control amplifier a switched signal with a duty cycle dependent on the control voltage is produced at the output. Resistors 055 and 056 form a voltage divider which limits the control voltage amplitude to be within the sawtooth waveform. Resistor 060 acts as a pullup for the comparator output. Resistor 461 couples the power MOSFET 460 to the comparator. Capacitor 463 and resistor 464

The diode modulator controls the horizontal yoke current which affects the horizontal size. This is accomplished by the diode forward current. In effect, the diode shorts out the horizontal width coil to the extent of the diode forward current during the previous horizontal trace time. The current used to control the diode forward current comes from the diode modulator and is controlled by the control circuit and the switching mode driver.
The horizontal size voltage from the remote control PCB 490 is applied directly to the current node (LM392 Pin 5) of the control amplifier by resistor 
For pincushion correction, two separate signals are used. The inverted vertical current waveform
(TP 34) and the yoke return waveform (TP 33). The yoke return waveform includes a parabolic and linear component. The inverse of the linear component is added to the yoke return waveform to correct the pincushion. The vertical current waveform (Iv) is inverted by an Op Amp and resistors 029 and 051 . Resistor 031 level shifts the inverted Iv to + 6V.
The (vertical parabolic + Iv) is AC coupled by capacitor
082and resistor 038 and 040 . It is then amplified by an Op Amp connected as a voltage
follower. Resistor | 038 | protects the Op Amp | against | |

The inverted Iv and (parabolic voltage +Iv) are added to the current node of the control amplifier by resistors 041 , 042 , 030 , & 052 which then makes up the pincushion correction signal.

present on the GND referenced node of the horizontal tuned circuit. This current is conducted through inductor 457 and integrated by capacitor
456and then is controlled by the driver circuit. Diodes 477 and 478 are the diode modulator diodes and the forward current which the drive circuit controls is the current which determines the turn on delay of the GND referenced node of the horizontal tuned circuit. An increase in the current of diodes 477 and 478 produces a greater delay in the GND referenced node, and reduces the amplitude of the flyback pulse at this node, which results in an increased horizontal size.
Capacitors 441 and 442 are the primary horizontal tuning capacitors and must be the specified value for a given chassis horizontal frequency and yoke combination for proper operation of the monitor. Capacitors 437 and
439are the diode modulator horizontal tuning capacitors. Diodes 440 and 438 clamp the GND referenced node voltage to GND. Horizontal linearity coil 431 stores energy from the flyback pulse and injects it into the horizontal yoke in the reverse direction of the yoke current to decrease deflection at
the start of trace to balance the decreased deflection at the end of the horizontal trace due to I2R losses in the yoke during trace time. Capacitor 432 and resistor
428keeps the linearity coil from ringing after retrace.
The beam current from the FBT is converted to a voltage by resistors 009 and is filtered by capacitor 010 . Resistor 097 then connects the signal to the current node of the control amplifier, which accomplishes the blooming correction function.
These circuits are designed around a virtual ground, the +6 volt line. This line is generated by buffering a voltage divider 022 and 023 with an OP Amp.
Resistor 021 and capacitor 026 form the output filter.
The raster may be shifted by making solder connections: left SL or right SRR . The amount of the shift is set by solder connections S1 , S2 , & S4 . Inductor 447 permits only the DC current to pass to the yoke return. Resistors 423 , 424 , & 425 define the size of the shift together with the V+ plus 5V and V+ minus 5V supplies. Resistor 189 supplies a load on the V+ ±5V lines to avoid
