My Hitachi Model 57f500 has great picture but sound goes out

your convergances amps ics have failed and need to be replaced alone with the 2 burnt resistors you will find then run magic focus

Its on the far right. For all others if your convergence has failed. This is a very common problem on most projection tv sets. You can read about it here on fixya using this linkhttp://www.fixya.com/support/r2861467-solution_video_looking_whiteish_dull-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If model number is correct the two stk-392-110 or -150 chips are both going to have to be replaced.Both are the same part but the 150 is a higher rated part for current.

Thats almost always a convergence circuit failure. Installing a convergence repair kit should solve the issue. Your model uses the Sony #1 convergence kit whichh comes with the parts and the CD with repair instructions and its available at the following link. http://tvrepairworld.com/convergence_repair_kits/sony_convergence_kits

you going to speakers option or you can read the catalogue there having it briefly.

Have a look inside to make sure no plugs were unseated or not fully connected now.

Try Hitachi or even EBAY, almost any hitachi remote will work for the basic things, old remote will have number on the front if you want to search for the exact one.

Check to see what input the set is on--set in menu to catv or cable and connect with set on three if using a box---if not then auto program for channels.If set on catv you should with the remote be able to direct enter a channel to see if tuner in set works or hook a dvd etc to a rear input to set to see if it works that way.

You need to replace the Convergence ICs they are Big Black ICs and will have Part # on Them example STK392-110.Mats Electronics has them.

This sounds like a problem with "convergence" of the TV. Convergence is the electronic aiming of the Red, Blue & Green projectors. Typical convergence problems look like double or triple images on part or all of the screen, wavy lines, curled edges, excessive red, green or blue color or tint, etc. Sometimes, convergence issues can be corrected in a menu setting of the TV that has to do with "Picture Settings" or "Advanced Settings".

If the colors are out of alignment a great deal or went out "all of a sudden" it will probably not be repairable via the menu adjustment described above - but is certainly worth trying.

If it does not straighten out with the menu adjustment, it will probably require replacement of the convergence integrated circuit(s) chips located in the TV. This was a big ticket repair years ago, but can be done sometimes for as little as $40 in parts. Don't let the low price fool you though.. It can easily take several hours (or more!) to access, remove & replace the components and reassemble the TV. Soldering skills are a must - and I'm not talking about soldering plumbing pipes here either. These are delicate electronic parts and need a 15 - 30 watt soldering iron and desoldering braid or solder ****** and LOTS of patience to perform CORRECTLY. As such, it is another "not a DIY project" unless you're willing to turn your TV into a large floor model paper weight. If you decide to attempt this repair, you should google your TV brand and model along with the term "convergence". Parts, costs and procedures vary by TV. Unplug the TV for a day or so before starting the work to let capacitors discharge fully - just to be safe. Lastly - don't forget the heat sink compound - it is an absolute *must*!

This should be a menu option in the video portion or initial set up area of your menu. If you have auto converge it will do it for you otherwise it will put up a screen with color patterns for you to manually converge.

Sound like what happened when my lamp went out of my projection tv.

1st step, replace battery of remote, no result, 2nd step, check / replace Remote Sensor of TV.

You will need to call the Mfg. of the remote control or check its web page and look for the codes. You will need the name of the TV Mfg. and its model number.
