The picture was fine when tv was linked to the BT tv kit. Now it's connected to the digitak aerial the picture has a pink/red tinge. How can I correct this? Thanks Gary L

1. A TV aerial feed - The BT Vision box gets its digital TV signals over-the-air, so needs a TV aerial. This needs to be connected to the aerial input socket on the V-Box. There is an output RF aerial socket to allow you to connect an aerial feed to a TV if required.
2. SCART lead - You need to make a connection from the Vision+ box to the TV using a SCART lead. If you have a HD TV set, you can also connect via an HDMI lead (not supplied).
3. Connection to Broadband - You'll need to connect from the BT Vision+ box to a BT Broadband connection. This is done using the BT Home Hub. The Home Hub is the Broadband router supplied by BT, and it connects into to your phone line to give you Internet access-The most common way to make the connection, is to connect an Ethernet (networking) cable from the BT Vision+ box to one of the Ethernet ports on the Home Hub. If you can't make a direct connecting to the Home Hub, you can use powerline adapters to make the connection. The self-install kit includes two Powerline adapters to allow you to connect to the Home Hub if it's in a different room to the BT Vision+ Box.
4. The BT Vision v-box has an additional scart socket, which can be connected to a video or dvd recorder.

I too have a red "short" light on my Tristar booster. However- I've illiminated the Tristar as I unplugged it and connected my tv directly to the 13amp mains and b) connected the aerial directly to the aerial wall socket which is separately boosted from a distribution amplifier box in the loft. Picture was U/S so the "short" is probably in my cabling in the loft (I've been moving the aerial about lately).Hence I suggest initially to unplug the Tristar and check the fault is not back further up the line ie the cable and booster at top of house. Hope that all makes sense.ps before noticing the red "fault" light, my picture had gone to pot.

your settings are wrong on the brightness and contrast

some of the power shots set up by using KELVINS as the method of balancing the warmth or coolness of a picture. Others have a setting for OUTSIDE Inside Halogen and fluro If its set on halogen and you are taking pics outside it will have a red tinge.

Fluro a blue tinge...

check the manual for the right selections

please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

That is a convergence problem, it may be because of a faulty defective IC.

Only thing I could think of is check your Pscan on your players make sure the correct setting is set for Progessive Scan and the other thing is a common Did you check the cables ??

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

haven't come across this problem myself, but renew all the ink cartridges, using Epson genuine only and no refills

This is in all probabilty a CCD or processor fault A repair shop jub- unless you have some warranty left Try the Canon Tech support team first though.

When you say produce a pink tinge do you mean on the view screen on the back or through the viewfinder or on prints or an the computer screen? go into more detail if you please

take the back of the television and atthr back of the screen there is a sucker that sits on the back of t give it a tap and the pink goes away
