20 Most Recent Philips 9P5034C 50" Rear Projection Television - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Your TV most likely has one or more possible problems.

Problem #1: Convergence Chip Failure ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• 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.

Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue 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.

Solution #1

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.


Problem #2 CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Your tv is experiencing convergence problem. if you have tried the perfect focus adjustment from the menu and still not fixed, then the convergence ics need to be replaced. these ics converge the blue and red beams with the green to give a clear picture.

Hope this helps

please rate me!

the screens are very expensive about 400.00 and you would need to go through a tv epair shop to order the screen.

I have 50" philips magnavox big screen. I recently started to have a problem with the edges of my tv. They became blurry. the center of the tv is clear and the edges are blurry. what should I do to fix this problem.

color is reddish and dark

If the picture shrinks and expands you can get a repair kit from www.tvrepairkits.com. 

If the screen is just foggy looking my guess is the CRT fluid needs to be replaced. 

why not buy the circuit and solder it back in? a tv shop would have them and may carry them as part of their stock.all you need to do it unsolder the old part take it to thema dn show it to them they will know what you need then

You need to change the CRT Fluid. This is a common problem on the  older projection TV sets. 
You can get the fluid and instructions on how to change it from www.TvRepairKits.com.

The CRT fluid in the blue and green tube are most likely clouded. The set is still good. You just need to replace the fluid. Check with the site www.TvRepairkits.com - they are working on developing a fluid kit that includes a photo instuction quide.

If the colors look 3D or if you can't adjust the blue or red convergence the convergence chips and resistors should be replaced. You can get a repair kit and photo instuction guide for this exact model from www.TvRepairKits.com. Hope this helps

It is probably something as simple as a bad electrolytic capacitor in the vertical output circuit. if you are handy with a soldering iron, you can change it yourself for less that $10. If not, check with your local repair shop for an estimate and make the decision on repair or replace based upon the cost of each. Panasonics are usually a very reliable set and if it is good shape otherwise, it is probably worth getting repaired. Incidentally, continuing to operate the set in this condition will blow the vertical IC and add to your expenses.

convergence issue - has the set sustained a knock?
either way, it will require expert help or at very least access to a cross hatch generator

Sometimes it the coolant that makes the tubes cloudy often changing coolant will make a difference, however I do work for a site that has replacement CRTs If you would like a link they run 135. each with free shipping and instalation instructions
