Back
Plane Diagram and Video Linearity
The video linearity control on the VideoLynx
434 is adjusted at the factory. Adjustment is not necessary
in most cases. If the unit is used with an external linear power
amplifier, the linearity control may need to be adjusted. The
best way to adjust the control without special equipment is
by tweaking for a stable picture, while maintaining maximum
power output.
Do not adjust this control unless absolutely necessary!!!
Use
high grade lithium batteries. The VideoLynx can operate for about
6 hrs on a fully charged 9V battery!
Operation from a regulated DC power supply is also possible.
Caution: Do not reverse polarity
on power leads, or permanent damage to the VideoLynx 434 will occur.
