Re: Star Wars vector issues (6100)

Scott, put the game into test mode and get the crosshatch up, this is the only way to adjust this out :

You need to attack the YLIN adjustments, you say you've tried 'the obvious' adjustments, but what happens when you turn the YLIN pot on this screen? do you see any movement at all?

Refer to sheet 14A of the starwars schematics, point number 3 and 4, IMO you'll have to bring X and Y size down a bit then bring XLIN and YLIN out a bit until you get uniform sized diamonds..

The bowing on the sides is normal for running SW on a 6100, but your vertical stretching is down to linearity. (sounds like you now this already)

I have never found capping a vector board to make any difference. I think there's a bit of emperors new clothes syndrome about it :)

Either you havn't adjusted the linearity yet, or there is a problem in the linearity part of the AVG section, but i can't see anything common to both axis, it just looks like bad adjustments.

  Subject: VECTOR: Star Wars vector issues (6100)
  Happy New Year everybody...
  I picked up a Star Wars with a 6100 a while back - I'm just getting around to messing with it.  Right now I've got some vertical stretching/distortion, as well as a couple vector-related issues in spots:
  Stretching in the center of Y axis, compressed on top and bottom:

  Vector "tearing":

  I know pincushion is an artifact of Star Wars on a 6100, but this center bowing/distortion is different.  It's only on the Y axis as you can see in the first pic.  It's also definitely a board-related issue - I've had my SW hooked up to another 6100 and the issue showed up on both.  Has anyone seen this before, and if so, where can I start to fix it?
  This brings up a second question:  is it worth capping vector boards?  For the distortion, I'm guessing this *might* be cap-related on the AVG board, and DAC related for the vector tearing...  Suggestions?
  I've tried the obvious monitor & board adjustments - BIP adjustments, etc.
