TECH: D9200 color adjust issue
Gary Vitagliano
turn the game on you need to adjust the colors it seems to go back to
the same adjustments (way red) everytime. Any ideas?

I have the same problem with my 9200 as well. I am running it on a
MAME setup and i was wondering what i can do to make the adjustments
stick.
Anyone?

Hi Gary,
ALL of your problems are summed up into one neat little package..
it's called the 'd9200'
That monitor is the biggest piece of donkey shit to show up in a game
since the tek B&W's from the 70's. Every time I see one I want to burn
it, but let it slide thinking it will just catch fire and burn itself
if given half the chance. Absolute garbage much like the polo's. And
much like the polo's has a beautiful picture when it actually works. I
did one last week that came straight from the factory in a new madden
machine. Cold solder joints from the factory everywhere. It was
cheaper for him to pay for the repair then deal with it any other way.
And anytime you see flash logic or PIC's on a monitor chassis, it's
time to call the fashion police. I just wanna kill someone every time
I think about that monstrosity. Do yourself a favor, and keep an eye
on your smoke detector batteries from now on. And I'm sorry that I
have nothing else to contirbute on your current issue at hand.

factory?
To do a factory adjustment, press the first and third buttons (from the
left) together for 2 seconds. You should now see a menu that looks like a
beefed up version of the normal settings menu. once your finished adjusting,
hit "re" to save and exit.
Could also be a neck board problem, those are notorious for going belly up,
the red being especially problematic for some reason.

OK.. fukkit.. I'll tell ya how I really feel..
You ever see those commercials with the starving children in ethiopa?
Every time I see one I think about the fuck thats eating better then
all of us because he engineered that great big POS. The same nitwit
who's munching down his steak while we work through our suppertime to
repair his garbage. The schmuk that thought it was OK to throw down
gobs and gobs of junk, logic, and 80k caps.. and didn't take the time
to make it autosense AT the inputs...
When a star burns out somewhere in the galaxy.. it's not nearly as
saddening as when I open up the back of a machine and find one of
those 'things' sitting inside it. Thats amazing pile of tazmanian
devil dung makes me want to sell everything I own, and start making my
own monitors to compete with them. I know I would succeeed and my
labor would be CHEAP because gradeschool chrildren work for candy, and
they could design a better monitor system. I could bring on the
engineer that did the sega g08 system and he would absolutly outdo
himself in comparison.
If you elect me president of the United States, My first act would be
to pull all of our troops off of other countries business, and bring
them all home to hunt those things down and fire at will. That monitor
is so bad I would rather lose a testicle then own one. Even better I
would rather gnaw one of my own OFF, then own one. And thats after I
filed my teeth down nice and dull.
And if not liking that monitor is wrong, I don't wanna be right! I'd
rather send that monitor packin and pay child support on it! I would
rather be drug thru a field of hot cinders and broken glass @ 40mph
while being pissed on and having salt thrown at my naked bleeding
body, then own one of those things... TWICE... I wouldn't even use one
of those things to block my asshole in prison! I'd actually keep more
dignity!!
You get the idea yet? Because I could continue..

As Tony explained in a later reply you have to adjust the colors in factory
mode. Color settings done in regular mode are forgotten when the monitor is
powered off. Just hold the 1st and 3rd buttons on the remote board in for a
few seconds to get to factory mode. When you get a color balance you are
happy with by playing with the gain and bias settings for each gun, do
yourself a favor and write down the values as you will probably need them
again for the next time the screen comes up all green or red.
I've purchased over 100 of these beasts and if it wasn't for this
re-occurring problem I'd say this monitor has about the same reliability as
about any other arcade monitor (Matt obviously doesn't think so). However,
this color problem is a total pain in the ass! I've returned a significant
number of them directly to Wells-Gardner in McCook, IL and I even loaned
them some hardware to try and reproduce the problem. It was never resolved
and I stopped using WG trisyncs until they recently came out with the D9400.
