No convergence ring on Toshiba CRT.

Hi everyone!

I have a Toshiba 2857 DF and I noticed there is no convergence ring. I’ve read that this can be the case with older or very cheap CRTs, but I’m surprised to see it missing on my Toshiba, given that it is a home cinema model.

Do you have an explanation? Can I still adjust the convergence if needed, or am I stuck with the factory settings?

Thanks for your help ! :)

VCR image quality problem.

Hi all! I have a very strange problem with VCRs.

I have two VCRs: a JVC HR-J770MS and a Samsung SV-DVD3E.
I’m getting constant blue/colored horizontal noise/lines on the screen.

I tested this on two different TVs (a Sony KV-14M1B and a Toshiba 2857DF), and the issue appears on both.

I’ve already tried:

- Two different SCART cables
- Several different VHS tapes
- Cleaning the heads

But nothing changes.

I also couldn’t find anything similar online, and I have no idea what could be causing this.

If anyone has an idea, I’d really appreciate your help! Thanks 😄

Problem with a CRT Toshiba.

I’m having an issue with a Toshiba CRT TV (model 2857DF).

The picture is perfect when using composite video, but when I switch to RGB through SCART (AV1), the image turns completely blue.

Here’s what I’ve tested so far:

  • Composite works perfectly on the same SCART input
  • RGB gives a blue-tinted image (no proper colors)
  • I tested with two different consoles and cables → same result
  • RGB works perfectly on another CRT (Sony KV-14M1B), so cables and consoles are not the issue
  • The TV’s OSD/menu displays correctly (normal colors, not blue)
  • Moving the SCART cable does not affect the image (no flickering or instability)

Any advice on where to check first would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance 😄
