• Need for degaussing. Most of the time, magnetization of the CRT will result in color problems which will be far more obvious than a slight rotation. However, internal or external shields or other metal parts in the set could become magnetized resulting a tilt. More extensive treatment than provided by the built-in degaussing coil may be needed. Even, the normal manual degaussing procedure may not be enough to get close enough to all the affected parts. • You just became aware of it but nothing has changed. Don’t dismiss this offhand. It is amazing how much we ignore unless it is brought to our attention. Are you a perfectionist? • There is an external tilt control which may be misadjusted. Newer Sony monitors have this (don’t know about TVs) – a most wonderful addition. Too bad about the stabilizing wires on Trinitron CRTs. A digital control may have lost its memory accidentally. The circuitry could have a problem. • There is an internal tilt control that is misadjusted or not functi
