I own a Sony SXRD 60'' rear projection television that is 4 years old. Recently the tinting has started to change to a yellow green, which isn't fixed by making adjustments on the hue. The lamp has never been replaced but I suspect this might be the culprit. The lamp indicator light on the front of the set is not yet blinking. Any ideas on what is causing this?
No more warranty because its been used for 6 years and the sony service philippines said they dont have parts available, what will i do?No more warranty because its been used for 6 years and the sony service philippines said they dont have parts available, what will i do?

Sorry to hear this, but your optical block has failed. Sony replaced a ton of these under warranty and then extended the warranty on these SXRD sets so they could replace many more. They even replaced the sets with LCD sets after a class action law suite. This was a "black eye" for Sony TVs and they stopped making the SXRD sets. Your set is vintage 2006 and there is no longer a warranty. You could replace the optical block with a rebuilt one, but the cost would be about the same as getting a new 60" LCD. I would suggest you do the latter.
I have a older 2006 SXRD rear projection TV. I had the same problem after the TV warmed up this yellow tint started in the corner and crawled its way down the TV. It turned out that Sony had a recall on the optic block of the TV. If you replaced the Lamp and adjusted the color this kinda sounds like the same problem. Here is a link explaining it. In this article it shows up as a green haze and blob, but in my TV it manifested as a yellow tint.

I have a 2006 SXRD 50" TV. The same thing happened to me as the TV warmed I would get this yellowish tint that started to fill my entire screen. This is due to a bad optic block. Sony actually had a recall on this and was able to get a new one and have it installed. Here is a link explaining what it is. You might still be able to get a new optic block if your model number is affected.
Called them today and they set up appt for installation of the required part. They admitted a "known problem" and were straight forward about offering to take care of the problem, No fight necessary. Have the model and serial number ready off the back of the set.Call them ASAP
there is a posibility that there is a magnet near... see if there are big speakers around others that aren't the one that has built in..
the other posibility is that it has loss configuration... try to check the manual for proper configuration or send it to a authorized sony repair guy so he might flash firmware.
