My tv needs readjusted (color,focus,etc.)Is there an easy way to do so myself? i got a 1986 45'' RCA projection tv.it started of with just a blury spot across the top but after i messed with it the whole pic needs readjusted. can anyone help?

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Below are more details for both items. Also, complete repair kits with instructions and repair support are avail from site such as 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.

Ur tv have a problems known as a convergence problems,it dead.Tv have colors lines R,G,B mis alignments,have colors shadows pictures or 3D pictures look alike?The tv convergence board is dead.The convergence board require replacing 2 STK convergnce ICS and some or all of it resistors to fix the tv convergence board to solved the tv picture convergence problems.The shop,will cost u like $300-350 for parts and labors.

This tv have a problems call convergence,it dead.The tv convergence board must have the 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors are dead.These parts must change to solved covergence problems.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

You will want to use a funtion called either convergence or auto convergence. It realigns the 3 colors to the correct possition on the screen.

Solution:

Your TV has a convergence problem. Here are some of the most common symptoms.

Screen looks 3D
One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
Screen is bowed in or warped.

Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the 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.

Its a fairly easy fix on the Hitachi sets.

You can get a repair kit that includes all the parts from www.TvRepairKits.com. The kit includes a photo instruction guide, original Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, etc.
Everything you need to fix it yourself.

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, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit from the link below.

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 - TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.





Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move RED and BLUE in all directions - up, down, left, and right.

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

Note: If you TV has as flash focus or magic focus button only try pressing the button. If it fails to fix the convergence your need to fix it. See below for a solution

CONVERGENCE SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses.
This is a a fairly easy DIY job if you know what you are doing. If you have never done this before we would advise calling a shop or if you want to do it yourself get a complete kit with instructions and support from www.TvRepairKits.com

Check the connections on the CRT circuit boards. there is a red wire that slides into the white plastic socket make sure that is connected good, If that doesnt help you may need a replacement focus block, But if so they are very cheap and very easy to install, and I can post a link where you can get one if you need it.

the convergance amplifier have failed there are two of them they need to be replaced. there may be some pico fuses and resistors also. convergance failure is the most common rear projection tv it makes the set appear blury.

picture blury problem is due to 1 focus wire loose or disconnected due to long life of connection.this wire is in crt base. 2 focus control mistunned. 3 low voltage on crt electodes. 4 if tv is old then crt is getting weak. 5 crt base or connector loose hope this helps. good luck
