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

Samsung tv has greenish, ghosty picture. What could cause that?
Unfortunately I don't think this will be a setting problem. as this model set had issues like your describing and it's never been anything you could adjust and fix. Select menu from your remote if you see the same distorted picture on the menu chances are your tcon board is bad, if the menu looks ok but the rest of the picture is green and distorted you have main board issues. You can buy complete board kits from shopjimmy at a reasonable price, best bet is replace all the boards.

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
