43P8341/37 tv is acting up

Do you have speakers next to your tv sometimes the line on your tv will be from your sound to close to your tv also the red line could mean your tv tube is going out there about 300 to replace but i ould check frist on your sound are something close to you tv that is maken the red line in the middle of your tv

Projection sets have two very common problems outlined below.

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. The TV can also shut down when the convergence starts to fail.

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, RCA and others.

You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from TV Repair Kits using the link at the end of this article.

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

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped or bowed
*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

Its a convergence problem. You may want to check the site www.tvrepairkits.com. Every thing they said every description was right on.

You guys saved me 250.00 bucks. I'll be recommending you to everyone I know!

with no model or make, all i can suggest is that one of the convergence amplifiers is acting up(usually there are two used in most rear projection sets) they may have to be replace at the same time to avoid doing the same thing later on. look for a heavy metal heat dissipator tha is where they usually mount.

convergence of tv need to re adjust,

Always start at the vary center of the screen with Green. Position Red over Green, then Blue over what now will look yellow. If all is perfect except the outside, you will need to adjust "Mid-Size" until the middle is just as far off as the outside lines. Then adjust the main "Size" adustments to match. Go very slow or you can make a mess of it.

take the front panel off the tv, the bottom, you will see 6 little nobbs :::, use them to adjust your picture, the left 2 should be for red, the middle 2 dlue, and right green, top 3 are for focas, those are probabily the ones you want to adjust, bottom 3 are for turning the colors up and down, mess with those untill pic looks good

look the only thing u can do is have someone put the parts in for u the parts alone is 40-$ 60.00 and maybe $ 150 in labor that is all u should have to pay. that is what i would charge a customer to repair there tv set and it can be service right there in your home.i hope this helps marty

Check all six small,soldered in pico fuses under IC heatsinks..
rated at 3.15 amp = do not exceed.............let me know.....T.

The set has a vertical problem if the line you mention is from side to side ,if the line is from top to bottom the problem is in the horizontal circuit and both can be repairable,a vertical fairlure is a common problem,the vertical IC goes bad and it takes a safety resistor with him to prevent any more damage,the horizontal is rare but it happens too,if you are familiar with tv service you can change the IC but you will need a service manual to identify the part,you can get a manual overnight if you downloaded it at www.servicemanuals.net,if you are not too familiar you should seek the help of a servicer for safety reasons.Let Us know how it goes or if you need more information.
