TV keeps suddenly going to black and white - Sony KP-53V80 53" Rear Projection Television

This is not the fault with remote control. It is with your TV itself. Contact any service technician.

Wow that's interesting, was there anybody watching your home while you were gone? There is a possibility that someone simply turned down the color level with the color control? Check that first. It's an unusual symptom. With composite video, component video or HDMI it's not usually possible to experience that defect. Since the color (chrominance signal) is usually inseparable from the luminance (black and white signal) I would check the color setting first. Other wise your set has become unable to detect that color signal... I bet it's a setting rather than a defect.

Was playing around with the TV's menu and changed the Tuning Band from "HRC cable" to "IRC cable". Suddenly I have colour again. No one had adjusted any of the controls, so still not sure why one day it was fine and the next day it had gone to black and white, but changing the Tuning Band fixed the colour problem for me.

Hello.

1. Have you tried to switch channel to AV or RGB on your TV?

2. Some DVD Players have internal settings for the output mode if you go into the menu and settings on the DVD.

3. If its connected to the TV via a scart cable make sure the connectors are fitted all the way into the socket on both TV and DVD

Hope this will help you with your problem.

Thanks for using FixYa

The half picture is a verticale problem. This is difficult to repair. Send to a repair shop.

The same thing happened to my HLP5063W. Researching the internet forums I concluded the problem was with the color wheel, which I replaced. As it turns out the old one was completely smashed. Go to www.jangro.com for replacement instructions.
