Question about Samsung HCM5525W 55" Rear Projection Television

Bow at top and bottom of the screen

When I first turn on the tv there is no problem with bowing. But after 30 or so minutes there is a bow at the top and bottom of the screen. The bow moves down as time goes on. There is no problem with convergence of colors. I was wondering what this problem results from and how much it would be to fix it. Thank you. Brad

What's a Reflex bow?

A Reflex bow is a unique bow that has curved arms that turn away from the archer. The curves put the materials of the bow under greater pressure, allowing a fairly short bow to have a high draw weight and a long draw length. I personally own a Reflex bow of my own an had lots of other bows and for me it's the most powerful bow I've ever used, so you defiantly try this bow out.

When the bow is pulled across the strings there is no sound just a quiet muffled noise?

These are noted for NOT being prroperly setup!

Check the following:

The bridge should be centered within the length of the "f" holes... usually there is a slight "v" in the middle of the "f" holes.

The Back (side toward the tailpiece) should be perfectely vertical relative to the top surface.

Look into the "f" hole on the treble side. The sound post should be about 1/4 inch toward the tailpiece from where the bridge is located. The post should be vertical between the top and bottom inside.

The rest depends on the quality of the strings and the bow. The bow needs to be rosined.

My 57hx81 has a slight concave bow in the middle top to bottom

Sounds like a problem in the vertical sweep circuit. Check voltages to your convergence ICs. If they are not to spec then look for bad fuses and capacitors on the power board. These will throw off the DC voltage to the convergence chips causing the bow effect. I've had a single bad pico fuse ($1) cause this symptom.

Tv is messed up

I got a question.

Do you have any stereo speakers anywhere near your television?

This sounds like something a magnetic field could cause from speakers being too close to the tv.

If so try to relocate them and see if the problem goes away.
