Registered warranty My television has a pink screen most of the time. The picture comes and goes.Also the television turns on and off on its own once it has been turned on. Does my warranty cover this? Is there something I can do to fix it here. I have my serial #, etc... Thank you for your help.

Hello Cathy, The "AF" means auto focus, The pink screen and the lines are a camera fault, you are going to need the camera checked to see what the internal problem is, it is not something that you are doing wrong, it is the camera.

Best Regards, Russell

we had a SONY Rear projection and we had that problem turned out to be a bad fan and caused the main control board to fail thus the same problem contact the company and see what the warranty covers

This unit should still be under warranty and should be taken in for warranty service. Any attempt to access the interior will void the warranty. It is important that a complete description of the problem like you entered here be taken along when you bring the set in for service. This will insure that the servicer be able to reproduce the problem and resolve it.

From your description (and as a servicer), I would be looking for a component that is heat sensitive. These types of problems are fairly easy to locate and resolve.

Please take this in for warranty service and update this when you find out the details.

Thanks,
Dan

Sounds like the light engine is going...costs as much as a whole new set. May have to get a service man to have a quick look at it to be sure. Scrap the set if it is the light engine and buy an LCD or Plasma. They won't last as long as this set did...

This is a common problem with this model. The site www.magnavoxhelp.com has a chip kit to fix the no audio/video and video shrinking problem. 

Most likely the green electron-gun in the CRT is failing.

Most likely will get worse as you are describing a failing control bd. The part # is 6871QCH038A and is a fairly complicated repair. A good deal of disassembly required, and I would take advantage of your service agreement.

FIVE Blinks---AKB circuit (AKB), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about
30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with
the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C
board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. Also unit be in IK blanking,
try turning up screen slightly.

if unit is still under warranty, utilize it. otherwise your y-sus bd is failing. the problem will get worse. hope this helps.

If the pink overlay goes away gradually, you could have weak picture tubes (CRT's) If the color jumps in after warming up, it could be a bad solder connection. If you haven't had a good picture to watch for a long time, I would be tempted to put the money towards a new HDTV set as those older Mitsubishi Rear Projection TV's had a Lot of bad solder connections in the past, and by fixing one problem another could crop up in the near future.
