Screen has lines

Hello Cathy, The "AF" means auto focus, The pink screen and the lines are a camera fault, you are going to need the camera checked to see what the internal problem is, it is not something that you are doing wrong, it is the camera.

Best Regards, Russell

If the line is only red or pink, it is most likely caused by the magenta PCU. Replace this PCU and your problem will go away.

Occasionally the magenta developer unit can cause a red or pink line, but the problem is more than likely from your magenta PCU. The PCU is easy to replace, and instructions will come in the box if you order an OEM replacement unit.

Display section bad.

black is rear speaker out to powered speakers or ext. amp

Projection sets have two very common problems.

The first common problem is convergence


These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony, Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,Pioneer, Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

Something kind of like that happened to my camera, I just had to send it back, and they said that the LCD screen was cracked. :]

It sounds as though you may have a faulty lcd. Replace lcd(screen) and see if it solves the problem

it's called retrace lines ,your screens are set to high or focus block assy which has the screen adjustments on it also is faulty
