other so that the colors can be mixed. The process of aligning these picture beams is called setting the "convergence".

Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV. If you move your TV or if, after a time, you notice colored rings or halos around objects in the picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors.

To simplify convergence, an on- screen menu is provided that allows you to display a test pattern of four lines on the screen. Properly converged, the lines appear

white-which is actually a combination of the outputs of the three color tubes. The position of the

green lines is stationary. The positions of the red and blue lines are

adjustable. When properly adjusted, the red and blue lines should lie

directly over the green lines to produce single white lines.
