Hi All
I've just begun to dip my toes into the wonderful world of CRT!
I've recently purchased a second hand Seleco 320...
While I have the option of paying for a professional install, I am keen to learn more about this new 'toy', and have had a crack at setting things up myself.
After a few nights spent tweaking under dimmed lights, I'd say I'm within touching distance of a nice picture. However...
The CRT is currently connected to a DVD player (Pioneer DV-353)by SVHS cable (will switch to component video output soon). When watching a movie (I've tested a few), I seem to be experiencing what I can only liken to a 'rainbow effect' if I happen to glance away from the screen. This sometimes occurs if the action involves fast movement.
I've experienced the 'rainbow effect' before when looking at a dlp projector, but was under the impression that I shouldn't experience the condition with a CRT. This leads me to believe that I've gone wrong somewhere during set-up, although I've started from scratch two or three times now, just in case I' missed something along the way.
While I'm happy to pay for the professional install, I can't stand being beaten! Given my lack of CRT experience, if the above suggests a particular problem or setting I need to look at, I'd be most grateful for any help / advice.
Cheers
