Hi Victoria,
The problem is the system set-up. Go to Menu and scroll down until you reach the system set-up. You can see the NTSC/Pal secam/Auto selection. Select the auto to automatically detect the signal by the processor.
Hope it may help you.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both. Repair kits with instructions are also avail from www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

If you cannot align RED, BLUE, or Green your TV has a convergence failure. You can see some more examples and find a fix using this link on Fixya http://www.fixya.com/support/r2861467-solution_video_looking_whiteish_dull

Hi,
It seems problem with convergence output section of tv and convergence output ICs need to be replaced by professional because it requires soldering work with proper tools.
Please call local tv repair shop to get tv repaired.
Thanks.

If the convergence appear to be correct, the next step is replace the fluid in one of the projection TV tubes. You will have to very carefully remove the screen and see into the mirror which picture tube is not clear. All the instructions will be found to fix this, by searching the this website....TvRepairKits.com. Have your TV model number and chassis number near by. Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support.

Hi sheltiemom,
Welcome to FixYa.
My name is John.
I will be assisting you with your issue.
What your problem is a bad (HOT) Horizontal Output Transistor, and Flyback Transformer.
Easy fix, if you are good at soldering and not scared of HIGH VOLTAGE.
Let me know if you can do this, and I will post the tools and procedure needed to do this.
Thanks for choosing FixYa.
John

Turn on the TV set, bring up the convergence menu and make sure the three colors--red, green and blue--converge and overlap at the cross in the center of the screen. This is needed to help converge the TV later. Turn off and unplug the TV.

2

Remove the front screen by popping off the bezel and pulling the three combined screens out. Place wide cellophane tape around the frame to prevent the three screens from separating. Lay the screen someplace where it won't be bent or scratched.

3

Remove the circuit board from the bottom of the CRT neck. It may be held in place by one screw or glued in place with silicon. Pull it out without twisting it.

Below is a link I have included. This is a site I use to repair parts in projection tvs. The kit includes detailed instructions on how to repair it yourself. If this told you something you did not know rate this solution as very helpful as I do this here for free.

ALSO, if you have questions reply to this posting and I will assist you--I am here to help.

hello this is rico, you have bad convergence problem. you need to replace them, open the back of the tv, find the stks ics and bad fuses, there is 2 bad fuses around the stk, and look for cold solder on the board. thats the only way oyu gonna get rid of it. stk392-110 something like it. you gonna need a gun solder, solder,chawick, heat compound (thermal paste) 2 stks, 2 6.8 ohms or above. if need more help, call me i will guide you, step by step. 602-810-7149.

The picture going off is due to loss of high voltage. This is often triggered by a malfunctioning deflection circuit(High voltage power supply) , usually due to failed horizontal and/or vertical deflection ICs. This repair should be performed only by a qualified tv tech. These circuits hold extreme high voltages for several days after the set is turned off and unplugged .

Your problem is the fluid in the 3 picture tubes needs to be replaced. All the older projection sets used this type of cooling for the tubes. After time and usage the fluid becomes contaminated and starts to turn brown and light cannot get through the crud and therefore you wind up with a dull picture. I recommend having a service company do this procedure. It is very detrimental to the printed circuit boards and components if you would spill and on them. Most shops charge around $250.00 to replace the fluid.

The chips and 12 resistors need to be replaced, below is a link where you can find them. I've done business with them. They're very reasonable and give you step by step instructions to fix it yourself.

I had the same problem, they send you instructions on how to do it yourself. Saved me a lot of money.

Projection TV sets have two very common problems oulined below.

Problem #1: Convergence Chip Failure ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• No Audio/Video - TV Makes Chirping Sound

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.



You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Solution #1

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.


Problem #2 CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc

Projection TV sets are known to have two common problems. The first problem that is common to these sets is convergence failure. When this happens the TV will usually look 3D, Wavy/Distorted, etc. It may also shutdown and blink an error code.

The second common problem with Projection TV sets is dull video, halos around objects, white looking video, or red overpowers the screen. This is commonly caused by the fluid in the lens being clouded over.

Replace the Horizontal output transistor and also the flyback transformer. Thats the number one cause of a phillips that chirps.

Your TV most likely has one of two possible problems.
