Question about Hitachi UltraVision 55HDS52 Television

1 Answer

How do I adjust the picture, I lost my remote..

The picture on my tv looks distorted and off balance. (only way I can describe it is the picture looks like it squished inward) I don't know if this is because the tv is starting to get old or if something got pushed on the tv. We lost the tv remote a long time ago, but use our dish network remote to adjust the tv volume or channel. I tried to push the magic focus on the tv several times, with no luck. I also tried turning the tv off for awhile with not luck.

Sorry Bud you cant. An original remotes available at http://www.remotes.com or 1800-remotes for about $61.00 + shipping. Without seeing a picture Im not even sure if thst will help ya man. If you wanna try to see if an alighnment will help then get the remote. I would advise you against doing any sort of technical alighnments as this set has high voltage around inside even afterv its been disconnected for a while. Good Luck

I have a 52'' Magnavox Projection screen tv and the colors are messed up. The best way to describe it is that it looks like your looking at a 3D movie without the glasses. Can you tell me what's going on?
The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

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. 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 and others.
You can get a convergenece repair kit with instructions from the links below.

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

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

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