Upgrading JVC & Sony CRTs | S-video & RGB MUX Mods

[@silva_579]

That white jvc is 👌

[@RetroTechUSA]

It's nice one

When I saw your video I was very frustrated with the image distortion on my CRT...so I took action...hence my pvm-14memde monitor...because Your video uses magnets to correct distorted images....my crt was saved...thank you so much...but opening the crt case...and then sticking the magnets on is really scary...lol😅Although it is not perfect, I am very satisfied! Thanks for sharing yours!

I don't know if he let go of it during disassembly, but it was a common occurrence.It's great to have it restored!💯

[@PatrickStar-qb1sx]

Thank you Steve for sharing the S-video & RGB MUX mods! It brought back nostalgic memories of playing NES and SNES on CRT TVs. Even though I don't own a CRT TV anymore, I found the video incredibly informative. I learned a lot about troubleshooting electrical circuits, cleaning CRTs, and general safety guidelines for handling CRT tubes. Great content!

S-VID MASTER RACE

[@osirisblaster]

Cool mods, and you do great electrical work, but those scart cutouts need work if you're charging for this. Should be under cutting and finishing with a file.

[@ferndog1461]

Old vintage plastic: slow file sanding work ( files designed to work in one direction - away from yourself ) .

[@christophergaus3996]

I use a Dremel with precision bits. Cheap and works very very well! 😁

[@jerryklein3]

I just scored a clean Sony KV-20S40 for $20 at an estate sale, so this video is very useful to me! I will definitely be modding it in the future! Love your videos.

45:00, the best intermission. Thanks for the vid

[@TheSimTetuChannel]

I finally did the MUX RGB mod on my Toshiba 27AFX54 and used the RGB-PI Scart cable adapter to a Raspberry Pi 4b with RGB-PI OS4.... it's Arcade Heaven!!!

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Over an hour's worth of seeing Steve in action?! Great way to enjoy my dinner seeing this from you brother man. 8^) Anthony..

[@RetroTechUSA]

Thanks Anthony!

[@gerooo9095]

really enjoy this type of content. thumbs up

[@RetroTechUSA]

Thank you

[@coyote_den]

Got lucky on the JVC. With the yoke unplugged it likely didn't generate much HV. Otherwise that loose anode cap would have blown up plenty of stuff on the board from arcing.

[@Zionfarm]

Looking good Steve.

[@RetroTechUSA]

Thanks @Zionfarm

Hi Steve! 🔥

Hey!

Gran contenido sobre estos grandes televisores CRT para los videojuegos 💪😎🍻

[@these_rays]

I just found the 1310E. We should compare them!

The black dog at the end looked so sad 😂🤣🥹

High rez mods? Sounds awesome

Hello brother, I am Ganesh your biggest fan from all the way in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago. I fell in love with CRT technology because of you. But I want your email to show you something. There is something remarkable I have discovered and I can't really understand what kind of electronic wizardry is happening. I have a 27" Phillips CRT Tv, after tweaking with the tv and trying all kind of explorative stuff playing retro games. I use a HDMI to composite converter, I run my computer to the tv. The thing is I connect the video composite cable to the component Y input on the tv, and voila I can see genuine Component on Black and White. I understand there is a conversion going on where the converter is allowing the HDMI resolution to be downscaled to NTSC 480i resolution. But, when you look at that image quality in black and white component on a Philips SD CRT, this tv is producing one of the sharpest image I have ever seen in my life. I am blown away. I have read that black and white has higher contrast ratio than color. So I know that sharp image has something to do with the way black and white imagery is shown and processed by the human eye. But, I set my computer on AMD andrenaline software to native black and white to properly synchronize. There was a bit of dot crawl, but when you take all the color saturation to 0 on black and white it shows perfectly sharp with zero dot crawl. The thing is I am telling you bro, you need to try this and tell me what you think. connect your computer to a Phillips SD CRT with HDMI to component converter, make the native saturation to black and white. Play a 4K video. One of those 4k Cyberpunk 2077 videos on KZbin. And tell me that is not the most impressive image you have ever seen in your life. My question what is allowing this to happen?

[@Elwarez1994]

The Green or "Y" component input means Luma or luminescence so you get a sharp black and white image

[@TheSimTetuChannel]

Oh, I forgot...With the amount of scart holes you dremel out, instead of using a pencil have you thought of bending a 1/32 steel strip to the contour of a scart connector to make a template that you could heat up and mark the plastic with everytime? Then you just need to follow the groove with the dremel.

[@c4rbin]

question, would you recommend a sony pvm for n64 gaming? or should i go with a trinitron?

[@standley_steamers]

Thank you Stevie for another great video

[@RetroTechUSA]

@@standley_steamers thank you!

[@DeeKomedy]

52:14 can you use simple green and wash that board in the shower?

[@njlwag]

Would you ever make a video on a HD CRT? I just picked one up and have attempted working on it but it's pretty daunting. The service menu alone is a lot haha.

[@sarcasticmcspastic]

I have a samsung 16:9 tube that's just absolutely massive, love the nugget Hope to see more videos on them from folks considering they only really were around for a couple years

[@unknown50ct]

How are you just touching these high voltage capacitors etc just after you turned the monitor off? NO FEAR

[@John-ls1gp]

Having a hard time trying to see schematics for the TV’s I have to see if they can be rgb modded. What is the best way to find schematics or search for info for different types of tv’s

[@d.s3484]

Is it safe to factory reset a Sony pvm? Curious if settings revert back to factory or post calibration by the technician. Thanks

[@rolandbaron5813]

Hey Steve, do you offer services out of state?

[@leavethelightsonpleasethec7154]

Will it uses 15khz video?

[@aaroncourchene4384]

I broke loose my neck board on my RCA CTC 197. It has 7(?) pins,can it be repaired 😥?!?

[@JS-cz3ur]

Does yhe jvc no require a right channel dummy plug most of my mods I needed to dummy plug it to enable stereo audio

[@CartoonMonkeyStudio]

Will a modded TV do rgb in both pal and ntsc or does it depend on the tv?

[@RetroTechUSA]

These TVs are still NTSC sets. If your set is Pal, it will work. It's not going to make the TV properly accept Pal signals if it's still an ntsc set or vice versa

[@RedBirdTCG]

Could anyone tell me what "NOTC" does in my trinitron kv-27s45 service menu, it seems like a edge filter or something.

[@SiincereARC]

Hey sir. Been a few months. I have been meaning to chat it up on one of your videos comments since the retro expo in CT (black guy with glasses, Mike). I had to put my Sony on hiatus to dedicate time (I have other hobbies). I wanted to try and gather a few resources together before I re-tackle fixing and maybe modding my Sony KV-27FS13. When we spoke about it, I mentioned mines has the common issue associated with the more flat tubes. It works great otherwise but I genuinely would love to correct my tube since the audio and picture is amazing (every input/output) rather then trying to get another. I know about CRT database, but are there other websites I should use for a resource? Can anyone provide videos that have very legit and comprehensive instructions for repairing that type of CRT panel? I'm looking to have multiple resources to pull from to be as cautious and prepared as I can be.

[@saadounefaycal9744]

hello can you help me pleas i have a sony crt trinitron blinkin 13 times and wouldn't turn on so pleas if you have a formation help me

[@RetroTechUSA]

@saadounefaycal9744 sure, reference the service manual for your TV. The light pattern is a code. The manual will tell you what the code means and what is broken

[@voicheci007]

51:48 this proves that the method Sony recommends for discharging is bull* 😂

[@koopaklaw4605]

Hey, Steve. A friend of mine has had success RGB Modding these digital jungle chip sets. We are trying to make this information more widespread and I'd be very happy if you could cover it. Can I get in contact somehow?

@koopaklaw4605 yes, DM me on Twitter or email me. My email should be on my YT home pag r
