Picture tube s out of alignment - Philips 60PP9202 60" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television

the projection tube needs to be adjust for color alignment, each tube (red, green, blue) must be aligned so you there would be no color smear appear on screen. if it is aligned try to set up the color balance, hue etc.

These procedures are from the owners manual, go into menu and then picture quality and then: Convergence The Convergence feature lets you adjust the TV’s three tubes. When the TV tubes’ images are precisely aligned, they create the color images you see on the screen. Over time, the picture can drift out of alignment (this is normal). If your picture seems fuzzy or has a yellow tint, using Convergence could correct this misalignment. Only one convergence is needed for all inputs, regardless of the signal format. Note: Make sure the TV has been on for at least 30 minutes (TV needs to warm up for best results) before starting Auto Converge or Red/Blue Centering. When you select the Convergence feature, a submenu appears with three options: Auto Converge Automatically aligns the projection lenses to self-correct color images. You’ll see flashing squares of color dance across the screen (this is normal). Note: After performing auto convergence, use the Blue Centering and Red Centering menus to fine tune convergence in the center of the screen, if necessary. Blue Centering Aligns the blue and green images to fine-tune the picture. Red Centering Aligns the red and green images to fine-tune the picture. Note: The ability to change channels is disabled when adjusting the convergence options. The TV must be tuned to a usable signal to converge the picture.

Ur tv convergence are dead.U know how to solders?Must replaced the 2 STK convergence ICS,some or all it resistors.Tries Websites Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com to buy a convergence kit to repair it ur self.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

As per statement, "the magic focus works great, the colors are bright and aligned" it means the tubes are working ..you need feed a signal to see the picture...the tv video goes muted without signal

the minute parts near the picture tube might have misaligned ,,,,,, you need to align those parts .... contact a good tv mechanic .... he will use a magnetic type material and align every minute parts correctly near the picture tube, the red line wont appear again

Hi, if you haven`t opened the covers yet your tubes are fine .. you can`t move them without removing the rear covers, if you have a 3d look ie; colors are seperated your convergence circuit has failed, stk`s will have to be replaced which requires soldering equipment, video-tek

yes you would need a service manual and have to do all the alignments but it would need to be an exact match on the picture tubes as some sets have different components within the same mode year depends on serial number so be sure the replacement tube has the exact tube numbers that your tube has. it still is a very involved proceedure and the picture tube can and will hold a very serious charge and it can give you a severe shock if not handeled properly and discharged properly.

So this is a rear projection TV.

Chances are the tubes are out of alignment. When cleaning or anything never move the tubes as it will be hell to get em back properly.

In the back you can take off the rear panel and move the tubes to partially re-align the picture.

This is generally followed by a model specific procedure using the remote to bring up alignment grids to finalize the picture alignment.

The reason for the 3 colours in the picture are that the rear projection units use Red, Green and Blue tubes to create the one colour picture.

All in all... When I messed mine up it took about 2 hours to set it straight again.

Now I just have to fix my flashing screen problem and i'm set.

Color tubes are OK. Do not adjust. The issue at hand is called
convergence alignment.The repair involves-------
1)Pull chassis
2)Replace convergence IC's
3)Recheck alignment
work should be done by a skilled technician........T.

No adjustment needed on these LCD projection. Your problem is in your setup menu. Your default is now is set ZOOM. That is why the bottom of the picture is cutting off. Go to Menu, setup and screen size or something close to that.
