Hello all!
I've searched literally everywhere but could not find any solid results.
My concern is the MVS's (MV1C specifically) and it's oscillator crystal which it's frequency is 24 MHz, like the older AES; and have a refresh rate of 59.18 Mhz.
I do know that the later model AES (3-4 to 3-6) came with a 24.16 MHz oscillator crystal, and output a refresh rate of 61.XX Mhz (I have to find the specific value). However, I'm not sure how they display on newer HDTV's
Now what I want to know is.. has anybody tried and found results to swapping these crystals??
I have searched everywhere for a similar crystal, and the only way to get one is to buy in bulk (about 590 as a minimum order at a $1.80 something rate....)..
Some other crystals which are more available (say from ebay) run around 24.5 Mhz which could still be tested but will obviously make things way above 60 Mhz..
Reason I'm concerned, I've noticed newer HDTV's have a hard time trying to lock onto a solid sync (if you've seen my posts, I'm referring to a Samsung F8500 51" plasma).. and regardless after playing with different settings on the TV..
Without any cap on sync, an MV1C (supergun) will display on this particular TV but will randomly flicker every so often.. My CMVS actually displays with a 0.01 uF cap on sync, but the screen rolls..
My CMVS on my TV works no problem regardless of the input I use (I've used composite, s-video and component on a 2008 Panasonic Viera 42" plasma).. and that's with a JROK encoder and Sync cleaner
Please chime in!
Ps... How do any of you feel about an XRGB mini, should there be no remedy for this problem on newer HDTV's..
