Question about Sony KP-53S65 53" Rear Projection Television
I have performed the lens cleaning with surgical cotton and alcohol free cleaning fluid. I also used the same products on the mirror. The picture is amazingly brighter now! Like someone put a rejuvenator on the set. This is a 1998 model. Can the image be improved further? The user convergence still shows some overshoot of color on the cross hatch no matter what I do. The service mode instructions,I currently have appear incomplete or I am just not knowledgeable enough to understand what it is I am looking for in the Covergence adjustment nor how its done nor how are you sure its done correctly? I may ultimately call in a ISF Tech to align it and my new Pioneer Pro-1140HD. Though in the meantime. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Remove the lenses, drain,clean and refill the crt's with new fluid, adj focus and screens etc.

Ginovino, Did you ever get the convergence fixed? I was just given one of these and am having the same type of problem. Thanks.

I just did the convergence myself using this site as a guide http://www.bus.ucf.edu/cwhite/theater/ServiceMode.htm . I have other problems with the set but the convergence mode is easy to access and adjust. Good luck.

With a set that old, it is unlikely you'll get the convergence that close to perfect anyway. You may even make it worse if you go too far in your adjustments. How you could manage to even watch it after looking at a HD set is beyond me anyhow. I would sell it "as is" and stick with HDTV.

take the back off oh unplug it first and then read the label that says no user serviceable parts inside its kinda like the tag on pillows the three delta lenses can be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with windex they are an optical grade of plastic like the screen so all those caveats apply if you are really brave you can take the lense assemblies off and clean (gently the concave) portion of the top of the crts they are filled with coolant and should be treated with care if you are really brave use windex on the plate glass mirror if you are nice to your tv it will look real good when you get done it will look even better if you know how to refocus the focus block and the screen controls all the home theater dvds wont make up for zen and the art of projo maintenance

SOURCE: Picture cut off
No adjustment needed on these LCD projection. Your problem is in your setup menu. Your default is now is set ZOOM. That is why the bottom of the picture is cutting off. Go to Menu, setup and screen size or something close to that.
Best regards

most likely cause is one of the 3.5 amp picos have blown when the old Ics failed. You can get replacement picos at the following link, and they also have the service manual which will explain how to adjust the colors through the service manual. Here is the link.

I thought this forum was for Solutions and how too's. Your comments offered none of that and served no purpose other than to bad mouth and cheap shot. This set is in a guest house on my property and it works fine and provides a satisfactory viewable TV for weekly sports enthusiasts. A little TLC will make it satisfactory for some time to come, thank you.
I'd love to drive a Mercedes 500AMG Twin Turbo 12 cylinder, however practicality is more important than ego in this instance. Being able to put aside childish "I must have now at all cost", is what separates adults from spoiled brats. I do have a $4k HD unitas well and can also give credit and appreciate from whence I came viewing wise, which is more than YOUR response has provided!
No I have not yet. I have a ISF Tech due to come on 2/9 to calibrate my new Pioneer Elite 1140HD and to align, Repair and generally give this Sony a proper going over. It still performs wonderfully for the most part. Pictue is bright, just that I may have not been as careful as I thought I was when cleaning the lenses & mirror. It owes me nothing since 1998! I'll keep you updated when its completed. Thanks for asking!
This is to inform all readers that my worse fears were just that - fears! I had the services of an ISF technician on site to calibrate my new Pioneer Pro-1140HD and he offered for a few $ more to check/align/calibrate the Sony RPTV. (Mind you the set was never touched by anyone since it was delivered nearly 10 years ago!) Absolutely nothing wrong that its internal focus couldn't fix so he said. He gave it complete 3 hour servicing and found it badly needed 1)Internal Focus, 2)Internal convergence alignments for every axis, 3)Adjustment for overscan, blooming, 4) plus the usual ISF alignment using, signal generators, Test DVDs, and various test gear including a laptop PC with programs to autotest settings.
This RPTV is better now than the Day it first arrived in my home. Thank you to all the forum contributors who offered REAL help in solving my issues!
