Sony PVM-20M4U monitor w component input

Hi,
I out put my preview from Kona LHe card into my sony PVM-20M4U via component signal & the sony monitor default to NOT letting me alter the phase control when I ran the color bar calibration. the cyan & the magenta bars are not match when I hit the BLUE ONLY button to view.
My footage looks a bit green (yellowish) tone.
Has anyone has this issue? What's the best way for color correction? view as Composite? ( don't like it much)
thankx
Jp

Quad G5 2.5, 8GB RAM, Kona LHe, 2TB Promax SATA (drive is slow though, sluggest), Mac OS X (10.4.5)

AFAIK, there is no phase with component signal. The phase is a relationship to the embeded color signal and there is none in a component signal...

no phase adjustment in component is correct. make sure the component cables are all the same length.ie each cable of the bundle y,r-y,b-y is the same length. try to find a pro in your area who can set up your monitor for you ie making sure the bias controls are set right on the monitor. if you had a component scope you could insert it after the kona output and before the monitor to see what the monitor is seeing.
